5月托福阅读全真试题 1
Orchids are unique in having the most highly developed
of all blossoms, in which the usual male and female reproductive organs are fused in a single structure called the column.
The column is designed so that a single pollination will fertilize hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds,so microscopic and light they are easily carried by the breeze.
Surrounding the column are three sepals and three petals,sometimes easily recognizable as such, often distorted into gorgeous,weird, but always functional shapes. The most noticeable of the petals is called the labellum, or lip. It is often dramatically marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its pollinator.
To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents. At least 50 different aromatic compounds have been analyzed in the orchid family,each blended to attract one, or at most a few, species of insects or birds. Some orchids even change their scents to interest different insects at different times.
Once the right insect has been attracted, some orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses to make sure it does not leave until pollen has been accurately placed or removed.
By such ingenious adaptations to specific pollinators,orchids have avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the wild, assuring the survival of species as discrete identities.
At the same time they have made themselves irresistible to collectors.

if the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed， it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. nevertheless， some of these small changes are important. there are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. one of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation conversion of liquid water to water vapor. in this manner， the salinity is increased， since the salts stay behind. if this is carried to the extreme， of course， white crystals of salt would be left behind.
the opposite of evaporation is precipitation， such as rain， by which water is added to the ocean. here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. this may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation， or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.
normally， in tropical regions where the sun is very strong， the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. similarly， in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea， salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
a third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. when seawater is frozen， the dissolved materials are left behind. in this manner， seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. of course， when this ice melts， it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
in the weddell sea， off antarctica， the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process， which increases the salinity of cold water. this heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.
