35、begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon wh

36、at entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”Flies dont tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise the

37、m until they hatch, a few weeks laterand they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a persons time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden

38、 throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprintenough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.Musah an

39、d her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually its something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up dete

42、 be published in Analytical Chemistry.4、Where most probably can you see this article?AIn a science fiction.BIn a newspaper.CIn a medical paper.DIn a novel.25（10分） Flowers make people happy. And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studie

43、s by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113

44、 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the

45、flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. Bu

46、t its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so fo

47、r over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these
