With Mum’s help, Cracked As A Crab was born, the story of Chip, a crab who has autism and uses humour to make friends. “The response to it has been very positive. People are happy and excited for me,” Jacob said.
Now a published author, Daniel has plans to write more books. Not content with sitting idle (无所事事) while most students are studying for their exams, Daniel is busy involving others in his role as student support captain.

According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed—just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.
In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学的) box in an environment with no background noise. The plant types used in this study were mainly tomato and tobacco plants. Researchers used recording equipment capable of picking up frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz, reaching more than 15 times higher than the maximum frequency the average adult can hear.
In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpoint increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained—until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.
Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools—such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To state research methods. B. To present research findings.
C. To clarify the purposes of the research. D. To explain the significance of the research.
9. What does the underlined word “seclude”in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Protect. B. Develop. C. Separate. D. Discover.
10. What do we know about the experiment
A. Plants make sounds more frequently for lack of water.
B. Cut plants produce louder sounds than dehydrated ones.
C. Sounds coming from plants are hard to pick up by devices.
D. Plants produce few sounds in the greenhouse environment.
11. What does Lilach Hadany think of the research
A. It could help increase the production of crops.
B. It could attract people’s attention to food safety.
C. It could be applied to deal with global warming.
D. It could be beneficial for efficient irrigation in farming.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项被研究人员称为有全球性突破的新研究表明，植物并不像我们曾经认为的那样沉默。植物也会“说话”。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed—just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.(根据一项被研究人员称为全球突破的新研究，植物并不像我们曾经认为的那样沉默。它们确实会发出声音，尤其是在受伤或受到压力的时候——只是这些声音不是我们用耳朵能听到的。研究人员记录并分析了植物发出的声音，发现它们发出的咔哒声的音量与人类说话的音量相似，但对人类的耳朵来说太高了。)”可知，第一段旨在呈现研究的结果。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学) box in an environment with no background noise.(为了将植物_____，确保录音设备捕捉到的声音只来自植物本身，而不是它们周围的大气，特拉维夫大学的研究人员将植物放在一个没有背景噪音的声学盒子里。)”可知，由此可推测画线词所在部分表示研究人员将植物“隔离”起来，separate意为“隔离”，故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpoint increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained—until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.(在温室环境中，他们还记录了一组番茄和烟草植物在日益脱水的过程中，发现在浇水后的4到5天里，它们的声音输出点稳步增加，然后下降。从本质上讲，植物越渴，它们的抱怨就越大声——直到它们达到脱水的某个关键阶段，在这个阶段，它们的声音就会随着干枯而安静下来。研究人员还发现，脱水的番茄和烟草植株每小时分别平均发出35和11种声音。割下的番茄和烟草每小时发出25和15个声音。另一方面，健康的植物发出的声音要少得多，每小时不到一个。)”可知，植物会因为缺水而更频繁地发出声音。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools—such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,(记录植物的这些声音可以帮助农民了解农作物的需水情况，从而实现更精确的灌溉，这可能是农业的一个进步。Lilach Hadany表示，当越来越多的地区因气候变化而面临干旱时，有效利用水资源对粮食安全变得更加重要。他相信只要有合适的工具——比如传感器，告知种植者植物何时需要浇水，人类就可以利用这些信息。)”可知，Lilach Hadany认为这项研究对农业的高效灌溉大有裨益。故选D项。
D
New research led by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has revealed that the spiny pollen (带刺花粉) of plants in the sunflower family can reduce infection of a common bee parasite (寄生生物) by up to 94 percent. The sunflowers”spiny pollen can destroy a parasite called C. bombi (熊蜂短膜虫), which has been significantly reducing bumblebee populations.
To investigate how sunflowers help bumblebees resist C. bombi, the researchers separated the spiny outer shell of the pollen from the chemical metabolites (代谢物) in the pollen’s core. They then mixed the spiny pollen shells of sunflowers, with the chemistry removed, into the pollen fed to one group of bees.
Another group was fed wildflower pollen with sunflower metabolites and no sunflower shells. The researchers discovered that the bees that ate the spiny sunflower pollen shells had the same response as bees feeding on whole sunflower pollen. These bees had a markedly reduced risk of C. bombi infection compared to those fed sunflower metabolites.
Bumblebees, which are vital pollinators of crops and wildflowers, are experiencing a rapid decline in their populations worldwide. Habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural intensification is the greatest threat to bumblebees. Climate change is also taking a toll on bumblebees. As temperatures rise, bumblebees are forced to move further north to cooler climates, which can affect their ability to find food and nesting sites. Pesticide use is another significant threat to bumblebees. These chemicals are harmful to them and can damage their navigation and immune systems, leading to reduced reproductive success. Bumblebees play a vital role in maintaining healthy and diverse ecosystems. Understanding how sunflowers protect bees from disease could help us identify other flowers that have similar protective properties. Through this, researchers can work towards developing new strategies to help conserve bumblebees.
12. How does the spiny pollen of sunflowers benefit bees
A. It protects them from predators. B. It improves their sense of smell.
C. It can be used for their nest building. D. It helps them resist parasite infections,
13. How did researchers explore the function of spiny pollen shells
A. By collecting data. B. By making comparisons.
C. By referring to previous studies. D. By surveying experienced farmers.
14. What is the biggest threat to the survival of bumblebees
A. Habitat loss. B. Climate change. C. The use of pesticides. D. Environmental pollution.
15. What is the significance of the study
A. It offers a way to increase sunflower yield.
B. It draws public attention to the role of ecosystems.
C. It provides a new idea for protecting bumblebees.
D. It allows people to distinguish between different plants species.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】

On Monday afternoons at two o’clock, my dog Beau and I would arrive at the Silver Spring Convalescent Center for an hour of pet therapy (宠物疗法) with the seniors who lived there.
Room 114 was home to Katherine’s, a woman in her seventies who had stopped talking a few months earlier and had been living in a catatonic (木僵的) state in her wheelchair for the past month. I was told her family had stopped calling or visiting, and she had no friends. When Beau and I walked into her room, she was sitting in her wheelchair, her back toward us, facing the viewless window.
Beau was pulling ahead of me with his leash (牵绳). Before I could get around to kneeling down in front of her, he was at her left side, with his head in her lap. I pulled a chair up in front of her and sat down, saying hello. No response. In the fifteen minutes that Beau and I sat with Katherine, she never said a word and never moved. Surprising as that may be, more surprising was that Beau never moved either.
If you knew Beau, you’d know that even ten seconds was long enough to wait for a petting. He would wiggle (摇) his body against anyone who was closest to his nose until they were forced to pet him, or he’d lose interest and find someone else. I became so uncomfortable with the lack of life in this woman that, much as I wished I felt differently, when the clock struck 2: 30 PM. , I rushed to say goodbye, stood up and pulled the reluctant (不情愿的) Beau out.
Every Monday thereafter, Beau and I made a visit to room 114. Each visit I attempted to ask Katherine questions about her life and tell her about mine and Beau’s. No response. I grew more and more frustrated. I figured we didn’t really make a difference, so why did we bother to stop by

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
On our fourth visit, I was ready to bypass Katherine’s room, but Beau had other plans. He pulled me into Katherine’s room and took his familiar pose on her left side, head in her lap. I didn’t say a word, but since I had a business meeting later in the afternoon with which I was preoccupied, I decided to cut short our usual fifteen minutes with Katherine to five. Instead of talking, I remained quiet, focusing inwardly on my upcoming meeting. Surely, she’d never notice or care. As I stood up to walk out and began to pull Beau away, he wouldn’t move.
And then the most unbelievable thing happened. Katherine’s hand went up to the top of Beau’s head and rested there. No other movement, just her hand Beau continued to stand like a statue never moving from his spot. I sat back down in silent shock. Love has many ways of showing its face. Each time I am ready to walk away from a person on whom I’ve given up, I am reminded of the power of Beau’s loving persistence with Katherine and with me. If Beau can give an extra ten minutes, surely, I can too.

Daniel, at age 17, is a student support captain at Armidale High School, a motivational speaker and a published author. He also has autism (自闭症), something he says doesn’t define him but inspires him.
At just six months old Daniel had a stroke (中风) that left him physically impaired (受损的), unable to bear weight in his legs or move the left side of his body. Unable to walk and in a wheelchair until he was six years old, Daniel turned to books and could read fluently at age four.
According to the Autism Association of Western Australia, it is estimated that one in 100 people in Australia have autism. In 2018, there were 205, 200 Australians with autism, a 25. 1 percent increase from 164, 000 in 2015.
The idea of writing a book had been in Daniel’s mind for as long as he could remember. “It’s been one of my long-term goals and I feel very passionate and happy about doing it,” he said. With Mum’s help, Cracked As A Crab was born, the story of Chip, a crab who has autism and uses humour to make friends. “The response to it has been very positive. People are happy and excited for me,” Jacob said.
Now a published author, Daniel has plans to write more books. Not content with sitting idle (无所事事) while most students are studying for their exams, Daniel is busy involving others in his role as student support captain. He saw a gap in student support leaders within his school and wanted students with autism to be included. He is determined to have a long and successful career, and wants to inspire other people living with autism to achieve their dreams.
4. What happened to Daniel when he was 6

According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed—just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.
In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学的) box in an environment with no background noise. The plant types used in this study were mainly tomato and tobacco plants. Researchers used recording equipment capable of picking up frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz, reaching more than 15 times higher than the maximum frequency the average adult can hear.
In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpoint increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained—until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.
Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools—such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To state research methods. B. To present research findings.
C. To clarify the purposes of the research. D. To explain the significance of the research.
9. What does the underlined word “seclude”in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Protect. B. Develop. C. Separate. D. Discover.
10. What do we know about the experiment
A. Plants make sounds more frequently for lack of water.
B. Cut plants produce louder sounds than dehydrated ones.
C. Sounds coming from plants are hard to pick up by devices.
D. Plants produce few sounds in the greenhouse environment.
11. What does Lilach Hadany think of the research
A. It could help increase the production of crops.
B. It could attract people’s attention to food safety.
C. It could be applied to deal with global warming.
D. It could be beneficial for efficient irrigation in farming.
D
New research led by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has revealed that the spiny pollen (带刺花粉) of plants in the sunflower family can reduce infection of a common bee parasite (寄生生物) by up to 94 percent. The sunflowers”spiny pollen can destroy a parasite called C. bombi (熊蜂短膜虫), which has been significantly reducing bumblebee populations.
To investigate how sunflowers help bumblebees resist C. bombi, the researchers separated the spiny outer shell of the pollen from the chemical metabolites (代谢物) in the pollen’s core. They then mixed the spiny pollen shells of sunflowers, with the chemistry removed, into the pollen fed to one group of bees.
Another group was fed wildflower pollen with sunflower metabolites and no sunflower shells. The researchers discovered that the bees that ate the spiny sunflower pollen shells had the same response as bees feeding on whole sunflower pollen. These bees had a markedly reduced risk of C. bombi infection compared to those fed sunflower metabolites.
Bumblebees, which are vital pollinators of crops and wildflowers, are experiencing a rapid decline in their populations worldwide. Habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural intensification is the greatest threat to bumblebees. Climate change is also taking a toll on bumblebees. As temperatures rise, bumblebees are forced to move further north to cooler climates, which can affect their ability to find food and nesting sites. Pesticide use is another significant threat to bumblebees. These chemicals are harmful to them and can damage their navigation and immune systems, leading to reduced reproductive success. Bumblebees play a vital role in maintaining healthy and diverse ecosystems. Understanding how sunflowers protect bees from disease could help us identify other flowers that have similar protective properties. Through this, researchers can work towards developing new strategies to help conserve bumblebees.
12. How does the spiny pollen of sunflowers benefit bees
A. It protects them from predators. B. It improves their sense of smell.
C. It can be used for their nest building. D. It helps them resist parasite infections,
13 How did researchers explore the function of spiny pollen shells
A. By collecting data. B. By making comparisons.
C. By referring to previous studies. D. By surveying experienced farmers.
14. What is the biggest threat to the survival of bumblebees
A. Habitat loss. B. Climate change. C. The use of pesticides. D. Environmental pollution.
15. What is the significance of the study
A. It offers a way to increase sunflower yield.
B. It draws public attention to the role of ecosystems.
C. It provides a new idea for protecting bumblebees.
D. It allows people to distinguish between different plants species.

If you knew Beau, you’d know that even ten seconds was long enough to wait for a petting. He would wiggle (摇) his body against anyone who was closest to his nose until they were forced to pet him, or he’d lose interest and find someone else. I became so uncomfortable with the lack of life in this woman that, much as I wished I felt differently, when the clock struck 2: 30 PM. , I rushed to say goodbye, stood up and pulled the reluctant (不情愿的) Beau out.
Every Monday thereafter, Beau and I made a visit to room 114. Each visit I attempted to ask Katherine questions about her life and tell her about mine and Beau’s. No response. I grew more and more frustrated. I figured we didn’t really make a difference, so why did we bother to stop by
