Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, is studying how plants communicate with each other. To listen in, he set up a kind of telephone game among plants in his lab. Experiment used pea plants standing in rows of containers. The center plant in each row was the target: Scientists would stress out that plant and see whether the plants on either side of it picked up any alarm signals.

The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side of the stressed plant, each plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side of the stressed plant, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots unconnected to their neighbors. Then the scientists dried up the soil of the central target plant, creating a drought.

Within 15 minutes, the dried-out plant reacted the same way it would in nature: it had closed up the tiny pores(气孔) on its leaves to save water. What’s amazing is that the central plant’s closest neighbor with connected roots had also closed up its leaf pores. And after an hour, the message had traveled down the whole row of connected plants. On the other side of the pea chain, where the plants’ roots weren’t connected, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal traveled from the stressed plant’s roots through the soil.

Dried-out roots aren’t the only talkative plant parts scientists have discovered. When sugar maple trees are damaged, they send signals through the air telling their neighbors to produce bad-tasting chemicals. When caterpillars chew on corn leaves, nearby corn plants also make more self-defense molecules(分子). The plants around us may not be speaking with any volume, but they are saying plenty.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To make a prediction.

B．To raise a discussion.

C．To develop a theory.

D．To introduce a research.

【2】How did Novoplansky conduct his experiment?

A．By stressing out the target plant.

B．By sending alarming signals to plants.

C．By growing pea plants with different roots.

D．By drying out the soil of the plants in rows.

【3】What do we know about the pea plants according to the text?

A．They are able to communicate with the gardeners.

B．They send warning signals to others through the air.

C．They close up their leaf pores as a stress reaction.

D．They are the most talkative plants found by scientists.

【4】Where is this text probably taken from?

A．A news report.

B．A science journal.

C．A gardening guide.

D．A business magazine.

22、   For those not familiar,"hygge"refers to the Danish lifestyle that's popular across the world and is described as a feeling of comfort and contentment,as well as indulging(沉迷）in all the good things and people in your life.

Hygge has focused largely on the idea of making the ordinary special,or meaningful, through ritualising(使仪式化）everyday activities such as making a cup of coffee or having dinner;that means putting technology to one side,and adopting simple practices such as lighting candles,purchasing flowers,or making real tea in china cups.

Of course,Denmark's use of"hygge"is particularly useful in battling with the country's harsh winters;with up to 17 hours of darkness a day potentially having deeply negative effects on the mental health of its citizens.Susanne Nilsson,a Danish lecturer at London's Morley College,explained to the BBC,"We have long,cold winters in Denmark. That influences things.Hygge doesn't have to be a winter-only thing,but the weather isn't that good for much of the year."

＂Hygge could be families and friends getting together for a meal,with the lighting dimmed(变昏暗），or it could be time spent on your own reading a good book,"she added. ＂It works best when there's not too large an empty space around the person or people."

The word hygge didn't actually originate from the Danish language,but from Norwegian,where the word originally meant something similar to"well-being".However, it spread to Denmark in the 18th century and has since become an essential part of the country's culture and self-identity.

Hygge's international export has seen an explosion of themed cookbooks and lifestyle guides,alongside Scandinavian-themed restaurants,cafes and bars in the UK with quiet and pleasant settings,simple decor,and plenty of comfort food.

【1】Which of the following things might a person going for"hygge”do?

A.Doing extreme sports.

B.Playing exciting computer games.

C.Having a wonderful meal in a fancy restaurant.

D.Reading a favourite book over a cup of coffee.

【2】What is the purpose of paragraph 3?

A.To show it's pretty cold in the winter of Denmark.

B.To explain why"hygge"is especially useful for the Danes.

C.To prove"hygge"is popular in Denmark.

D.To introduce the origin of"hygge".

【3】What can we know about"hygge"from the text?

A.Hygge involves complex customs.

B.Hygge has its root in Denmark.

C.Hygge can promote people's sense of happiness.

D.Hygge will enjoy great popularity around the world.

【4】What is a hygge-themed restaurant like?

A.It is quiet and cozy.

B.Its dining area is well-lit.

C.It offers quite tasty food.

D.It has a lot of empty space.

23、Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development.

Becoming China’s best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule (骡子) or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk or violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.

Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A. D. , making it the oldest building known in China at the time.

Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhibited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liand wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Lin; Partners in Exploring China’s Architectual Past.”

【1】On their way to the ancient buildings, what kind of difficulties and risks do Liang and Lin face?

A．Poor accommodations and personal security.

B．Poor accommodations and smelly areas.

C．Broken vehicles and violence from robbers.

D．Broken vehicles and muddy roads.

【2】Liang and Lin raised public awareness of ______.

A．documenting smashed historical buildings

B．rebuilding historically valuable buildings

C．saving the oldest temples in China

D．protecting historical buildings.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Creativeness results in discovery

B．Difficulty produces achievement

C．Efforts contribute to happiness

D．Responsibilities contribute to development

24、   In one of my favorite photographs of my mother, she's about 18 and very tall, with long, blond hair. It's the 1970s and my dad is there, too, hugging her from behind．

I haven't seen this photo for years. I have no idea where it is now, but I still think of it and, specifically, my mom is in it. She looks so young and innocent. At that time she hasn't yet dropped out of college, or got married. The young woman in this photo has no idea that life will bring her five children and five grandchildren, one divorce, two marriages and a move across the country．

For me, as for many daughters, the time before my mother became a mother is a string of stories, told and retold: the time she sold her childhood Barbie doll to buy a ticket to Woodstock; the time she worked as a waitress at Howard Johnson's, struggling to pay her way through her first year at Rutgers. The old photos of her are even more appealing than the stories because they're a historical record, carrying the weight of fact．

It is always a comfort from those photos to know that time, aging and motherhood cannot take away a woman's essential identity. For daughters who closely resemble their moms, it must be an even bigger comfort: these mothers and daughters are twins, separated by a generation ,and an old photo serves as a kind of mirror．

For daughters, these old photos of our mothers feel like both a chasm(巨大差异)and a bridge. The woman in the picture is someone other than the woman we know. She is also exactly the person in the photo-still, right now. Finally, we see that the woman we've come to think of as Mom-whether she's nurturing(养育), or disapproving, or thoughtful, or supportive, or sentimental--is also a mysterious, fun, brave babe．

She's been here all this time.

【1】What can we know about the author's mother from paragraphs 2&3?

A.She divorced twice all her life

B.Life was tough for her during her first year at college

C.She traveled across the country in her youth

D.She was good at storytelling

【2】Why does the author find the photo of her mother appealing?

A.The photo reminds her of her mother

B.Her mother looks young and happy in the photo

C.She wonders why her mother dropped out of college

D.The photo tells a lot about her mother in her youth

【3】Some photos of mothers bring comfort to their daughters because________.

A.the photos are kept well even after generations

B.the photos record the life of the mothers faithfully

C.the photos help daughters to learn more about their mothers

D.the photos show the essential part of the mothers remains unchanged

【4】Which one could be the best title of the passage?

A.The Pictures of Our Mothers

B.Our Mothers as We Never Saw Them

C.My Favorite Picture of My Mother

D.The Way to Learn About Our Mothers

25、   I was a boy of nine in 1960. I used to mow the lawn for Mrs. Long. She paid me little for the job, but _________ to give me a Christmas present.

I spent much time _________ what it would be. Many boys had baseball gloves or ice skates and I was _________ to have any of these. “It would _________ be a baseball glove,” I _________ with myself.

As Christmas approached, it was with _________ that I stopped myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On December 22, I _________ myself at the door of the house.

When lifting it from her, I was curious about the __________ of the present. It weighed almost nothing.

“What is it?” I asked.  

“A kind of magic,” she said. Her words were enough to set my mind dancing with new __________ . There were other presents of normal dimension and weight. But Mrs. Long’s box dominated all, for it had to do with __________ .

On Christinas morning, before the sun was up, I had this box on my knees. With great __________ I opened the box to find inside ten sheets of black paper, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. “What is it?” I asked. Mum took two pieces of white paper, placed between them one of the black paper, and wrote my name on the upper sheet. Then she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!

It was a miracle to my __________ mind. In that one moment, I __________ the ideas about the duplication (复制) of words and the printing and the mystery of spreading ideas. Thank Mrs. Long for her __________ to guess that a boy might profit from a present totally outside the realm (领域) of his __________ experience.
