　　Survival of Plants and Animals in Desert Conditions

2015最新托福經(jīng)典閱讀長難句解析

　　1. Most plant tissues die if their water content falls too low: the nutrients that feed plants　are transmitted by water; water is a raw material in the vital process of photosynthesis;　and water regulates the temperature of a plant by its ability to absorb heat and because　water vapor lost to the atmosphere through the leaves helps to lower plant temperatures.

　　2. There are two general classes of vegetation: long-lived perennials, which may be　　succulent (water-storing) and are often dwarfed and woody, and annuals or ephemerals,　which have a short life cycle and may form a fairly dense stand immediately after rain.

　　3. They possess drought-resisting adaptations: loss of water through the leaves is reduced　　by means of dense hairs covering waxy leaf surfaces, by the closure of pores during the　hottest times to reduce water loss, and by the rolling up or shedding of leaves at the　beginning of the dry season.

　　4. The earliest of the city states of the ancient Near East appeared at the southern end of the Mesopotamian plain, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now　Iraq.

　　5. Uruk, for instance, had two patron gods—Anu, the god of the sky and sovereign of all　other gods, and Inanna, a goddess of love and war—and there were others, patrons of　different cities.

　　6. It used to be believed that before 3000 B.C.E. the political and economic life of the cities　was centered on their temples, but it now seems probable that the cities had secular rulers　from earliest times.

　　7. Within the city lived administrators, craftspeople, and merchants. (Trading was　important, as so many raw materials, the semiprecious stones for the decoration of the　temples, timbers for roofs, and all metals, had to be imported.)

　　8. A major development was the discovery, again about 3000 B.C.E., that if copper, which　　had been known in Mesopotamia since about 3500 B.C.E., was mixed with tin, a much　harder metal, bronze, would result.

　　9. It used to be believed that before 3000 B.C.E. the political and economic life of the cities　was centered on their temples, but it now seems probable that the cities had secular rulers　from earliest times.
