22、Even though they're not the most exciting things in the world, plants have attracted us ever since the days of early humans. They may not do any tricks or greet us when we come home at night like a dog would, but that doesn't mean they're any less interesting than animals.

However, just when we thought we knew everything we could about them, a recent study found that plants may have a secret ability that has gone unnoticed all this time.

According to the study by Australian biologist Monica Gagliano, published in the journal Oecologia, plants may be able to "hear” sounds . To come to this conclusion, Gagliano and her team planted pea seedlings （幼苗）in a pair of different Y-shaped pots with two arms. The first pot's arms led to fresh water, while the other's led to either dry soil or a sealed （密封的）plastic tube containing flowing water. Naturally, the first pot's seedlings grew toward the water. What's surprising, however, is that the second pot's seedlings grew toward the sealed water supply but not the soil.

"They just knew the water was there even if the only thing to discover was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe, ” Gagliano told Scientific American . She believes that plants are able to use their leaves to discover sound waves, which make tiny vibrations （振动）as they're produced. This could explain why so many people believe that singing or playing music to their plants helps them grow. “ I had a plant that I used to wash the leaves of once a week and sing to," plant lover Heather Goodall told BBC News. "It grew from being about 2 feet tall to 7 feet tall in just a couple of years."

So, does this mean we should start treating our plants like pets? Not necessarily, although perhaps it does mean we should give them more respect. "I would like to see plants accepted more as the amazing and interesting living beings, and less as just a source of human nutrition," Fatima Cvrckova, a scientist at Charles University in the Czech Republic, told BBC News.

【1】What did Gagliano find in their study?

A．Plants can recognize the sound of water.

B．Sound can change the direction plants grow toward.

C．Plants can tell the difference between various sounds.

D．Different plants can discover sounds in different ways.

【2】What do plants use to hear sound according to Gagliano?

A．Their roots

B．Their flowers

C．Their fruits

D．Their leaves

【3】Why does the author mention Heather Goodall's example?

A．To show a different way of growing plants.

B．To inspire people to sing to their plants often.

C．To prove that music plays a role in plant growth.

D．To stress the importance of treating plants like pets.

【4】What would Cvrckova probably agree with?

A．Plants are just a source of human nutrition.

B．There is still a lot we do not know about plants.

C．Plants are unbelievable and deserve more respect.

D．Most people do not care enough about their plants.

23、   One spring day. once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.

A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, straw-like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, she'll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4.000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth of a tea spoon of me.

The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally—I never go bad.

Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I'd appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much—to you, to me—without ever asking for anything in return.

【1】What does "me" refer to in the passage?

A.The flower. B.The bee.

C.Water. D.Honey.

【2】What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?

A.Bees' special talent. B.Bees’ hard work.

C.Bees' living environment. D.Bees' social behavior.

【3】Which one of the following is true according to the passage?

A.A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.

B.Before "me" is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.

C.The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.

D.Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To appeal for help for honeybees.

B.To talk about the history of a treasure.

C.To put forward techniques for gardeners.

D.To argue against the control of chemicals.

24、   When the island of Singapore became an independent country in 1965, it had few friends and even fewer natural resources. How did it become one of the world's great trading and financial centers? The strategy, explained Lee Kuan Yew, its first prime minister, was "to develop Singapore's only available natural resource: its people".

Today Singapore's education system is considered the best in the world. The graduates of its best schools can be found scattered around the world's finest universities.

The island-state has much to teach the world. But other countries are reluctant (不情愿的) pupils. One reason is that Singapore favors traditional method, with teachers leading the class. That seems not useful for children to learn for themselves.

Yet Singapore shows that academic brilliance need not come at the expense of personal skills. In 2015 Singaporean students also came first in a new PISA ranking designed to look at cooperative problem-solving, scoring even better than they did in reading and science. They are also reported to be happy. Not content with its achievements, Singapore is now introducing reforms to improve creativity and reduce stress. This is a gradual education reform - the first of three lessons that Singapore offers the rest of the world.

The second lesson is to accept Singapore's distinctive approach to teaching maths. It emphasizes a narrower but deeper curriculum, and seeks to ensure that a whole class progresses through the syllabus (教学大纲). Struggling students get compulsory extra lessons to help them keep up.

The third and most important lesson is to focus on developing excellent teachers. In Singapore, they get 100 hours of training a year to keep up to date with the latest techniques. The government pays them well, too.

The system is hardly faultless. Other countries might wish to avoid Singapore's dividing of high — and low-achievers into separate schools from the age of 12, which contributes to stress about exams. That is a pity. Education would be much better if more countries copied Singapore's homework.

【1】What did Lee Kuan Yew think contributed to Singapore's great development?

A．Trading with other countries.

B．Making full use of its people.

C．Exploiting its natural resources.

D．Introducing all kinds of talents.

【2】Why are other countries unwilling to learn from Singaporean?

A．Its system is too advanced.

B．Its method, seems not to be up to date.

C．Their students are too independent.

D．They are lack of challenging teachers.

【3】What's the key lesson of Singapore's education according to the text?

A．Sticking to quick reforms.

B．Adopting different syllabuses.

C．Aiming at teachers' further training.

D．Helping struggling students catch up.

【4】What's the author's attitude to Singapore's education on the whole?

A．Supportive.

B．Worried.

C．Subjective.

D．Uncertain.
