Cloze 2(2024佛山二模)
I'm a plant scientist. Every time I tell people about my job, they may ask me, “Why don't you work hard on more ‘useful’ 1 like physics?” My answer to their questions is simple: plant science can help 2 the world. Millions of people in the world are 3 hunger (饥饿) every year. It's not because we aren't producing enough food, but because we are 4 lots of it. The research on plants can effectively help to reduce this waste. One 5 is that plant scientists have been able to slow down the rotting (腐烂) of apples. As a result, the apples can be stored 6 and saved. Plant science can also benefit our environment. It plays an important role in fighting against climate change. Over all, plant science is of great 7 .
However, during a visit at a 8 , I was surprised to find that few of the teenagers could recognize the rice plant in a science class. Without interest in plants, they won't join in the plant study in the future. And they will 9 realize the importance of plant science. I think schools could and should make greater efforts to 10 this situation.
Plant science is much more useful than most people imagine. I expect more youths to explore the field and become leading pioneers.
