答案：五
1. D 【解析】根据前句“Can plants keep alive for more than 60 years when being sealed up in a glass bottle?”可推知，植物在封闭状态下依然存活 60 多年是让人难以置信的（unbelievable）。
2. A
3. D 【解析】分析句子结构可知，which 指空前的“some compost and water”；再结合常识可知，肥料和水对植物生长是必要的（necessary）。
4. B 【解析】根据空前的“So he did like that and put it near a sunny window”可知，将瓶中花园放在有阳光照射的窗户旁可以让光透入玻璃瓶中。allow 意为“允许”，符合语境。

植物被密封在玻璃瓶中能存活60多年吗？答案是肯定的，这听起来可能令人难以置信。大卫·拉蒂默的所作所为将为这个问题提供线索。他有一个密封在巨大玻璃瓶里的花园。自从60多年前开始打造这个花园以来，他只打开过一次。
1960年，当瓶中花园流行的时候，大卫也对它产生了浓厚的兴趣。他决定打造一个瓶中花园。在把一些对植物生长来说必要的混合肥料和水放进这个10加仑的瓶子里之后，他把一株幼苗放了进去。大卫想知道如果他把它密封起来会发生什么。所以他就这么做了，然后把它放在一扇向阳的窗户附近，让光线透过玻璃照进来。
这个瓶中花园很快就通过太阳的魔力形成了它自己的生态系统，就像植物在自然界中所做的那样。1972年，大卫确实打开过瓶子给植物浇水。但从那以后，它就一直被密封着，没有淡水和空气。这株植物继续生长似乎很奇怪，但其实并不奇怪——这个花园是一个自给自足的生态系统。它是大自然如何为自身生存提供一切必要条件的一个完美例子。这个瓶子的运作方式就像整个地球的运作方式一样。这个瓶中花园是多么令人惊叹啊！
大卫计划在他去世后把这个瓶中花园留给他的孩子们。如果他们不想要它，这个小型生态系统将会被送给皇家园艺学会。
