Can trees talk Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell—a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message
8. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.
A. are lying on the ground B. bees don’t like
C. have an unpleasant taste D. have an unfamiliar shape
9. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.
A. growing more branches B. communicating with birds and bees
C. shaking caterpillars off D. changing its leaf chemistry
10. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.
A. waving its branches B. dropping its leaves
C. giving off a special smell D. changing the colour of its trunk
11. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.
A. touching one another B. making special movement
C. smelling one another D. making unusual sound
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar for honey.(蜜蜂通过舞动发送信号，它们以特定的模式飞行，告诉其他蜜蜂哪里可以找到花蜜)”可知，蜜蜂通过做特殊的运动进行交流。故选B。
D
Growing up, your mom probably kept telling you that you should make your bed in the morning. But it’s time to put this little habit to rest. In fact, it could be better for your physical health to leave your bed unmade during the day, experts say.
What allows you to be extra lazy Dust mites (尘螨). These little creatures live on our dead skin and produce allergens that you could breathe in while you are sleeping. And about 1.5 million dust mites are spending every night with you right now. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to get rid of them: Don’t make your bed in the morning.
Researchers at Kingston University have found that dust mites live well in warm and humid (潮湿的) environments but die in dry conditions, the BBC reports. Making your bed every morning produces a good place for these little creatures, but keeping your bed sheets open kills them off. Sometimes it pays to be a little lazy.
“Something as easy as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove humidity from the bed sheets and mattress. If dust mites won’t be able to get enough water, they’ll finally die,” Dr Stephen Pretlove told the BBC.
Fewer dust mites means fewer health problems, too. However, not all experts agree; according to some, most homes are wet enough for dust mites to live on, no matter what we do. “I find it hard to believe that just not making your bed would have any effect on solving the problem,” Professor Andrew Wardlaw from Britain said.
12. What do experts suggest us doing in Paragraph 1
A. Following our mothers’ advice. B. Enjoying good physical health.
C. Keeping away from bad habits. D. Leaving our bed unmade in the morning.
13. How can we kill dust mites of our beds according to Dr Stephen
A. By keeping our beds dry. B. By cleaning up our rooms.
C. By warming up our rooms. D. By giving dust mites enough water.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Not making the bed can make us lazier.
B. It’s easy to keep dust mites away from our home.
C. Dust mites have nothing to do with health problems.
D. Some experts have different ideas about making the bed.
15. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Sports. B. Advertisement.
C. Science. D. Business.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过专家建议白天不整理床铺对你的身体健康更有好处，分析了其原因，但也有一些专家不赞同这个说法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中In fact, it could be better for your physical health to leave your bed unmade during the day, experts say. 专家说，实际上白天不整理床铺对你的身体健康更有好处。由此判断出，专家建议我们早上不整理床铺。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Something as easy as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove humidity from the bed sheets and mattress. If dust mites won’t be able to get enough water, they’ll finally die,” Dr Stephen Pretlove told the BBC. “白天不整理床铺这样简单的事情可以消除床单和床垫上的湿气。如果螨虫得不到足够的水，它们最终会死去，”斯蒂芬·普里特洛夫博士告诉BBC。可知，根据斯蒂芬·普里特洛夫博士的建议，我们可以通过让床铺保持干燥从而杀死床上的尘螨。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中However, not all experts agree; according to some, most homes are wet enough for dust mites to live on, no matter what we do.I find it hard to believe that just not making your bed would have any effect on solving the problem,” 然而，并不是所有的专家都同意；根据一些人的说法，无论我们做什么，大多数的房子都是潮湿的，足以让尘螨生存。我很难相信不整理床会对解决问题产生任何影响。由此判断出，对于整理床铺这个问题有些专家是意见不同的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中But it’s time to put this little habit to rest. In fact, it could be better for your physical health to leave your bed unmade during the day, experts say. 但是是时候让这个小习惯暂停一下了。专家说，事实上，白天不整理床铺对你的身体健康更有好处。以及第二段中What allows you to be extra lazy Dust mites (尘螨). 是什么让你变得特别懒？尘螨。可知，文章描述问题是通过现象到分析原因的，因此判断出这篇文章可以出现在报纸的科学部分。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了食物浪费是我们这个时代最大的挑战之一，一家马来西亚的公司提出了一个的简单解决方案：一个很小的贴纸可以使水果在长达数周的时间内不变质。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：食物浪费是我们这个时代面临的最大挑战之一，水果和蔬菜的问题尤其严重，大约有52%的食物在最终到达消费者手中之前就已经变质了。空处需用副词作状语修饰动名词reaching，eventual的副词eventually“最终”，符合题意。故填eventually。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：但是一家马来西亚公司想出了一个简单的方法来解决这个问题——一种小贴纸，可以防止水果在长达几周的时间内变质。根据句意可知，come up with想出，固定短语，符合 题意。故填with。
38题详解】
考查动名词。句意同上。介词from后需用动名词作宾语。故填going。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：你可能以前见过水果上的贴纸，但不像马来西亚公司设计的那种。根据空前后句意可知，空处需用表示转折连词but，此处表示转折关系。故填but。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这些普通的贴纸通常只用于向消费者提供关于种植者的信息和水果是如何种植的信息，但Stixfresh有一个完全不同的目的。分析句子结构可知，空处谓语动词使用了一般现在时态的被动语态：are done，此处表示被使用，所以空处需用过去分词used。故填used。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。provide sb. with sth.提供某人某物，固定搭配，所以空处需用名词作介词with宾语，inform的名词information“信息”，不可数名词。故填information。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：它含有一些特殊的全天然的东西，可以延缓成熟的过程，让水果保持新鲜多汁的时间更长。由空前修饰词much和句意可知，空处需用long的比较级longer。故填longer。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Stixfresh的创始人Zhafri Zainudin说，他是在拜访一位经营水果店的朋友后想到这个贴纸的主意的。分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是 a friend，指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词who/that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：这个人担心每天因为变质水果而损失钱财，但他知道没有办法阻止自然的发展。空处需用形容词性物主代词its作定语修饰名词course。故填its。
【45题详解】
考查可数名词的数。句意：这位马来西亚商人与许多大学合作开发并测试他的贴纸。many后接可数名词复数，university的复数为universities“大学”。故填universities。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track (足迹；踪迹) so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

【答案】Paragraph 1
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to run after it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of useless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.

Are you scared about moving up to senior high school It can be a new experience, but
you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide to help you in the first week.
You’re not alone
Remember everybody else in your year is in the same boat.They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is an opportunity, not a problem.Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.
Teachers are ready to help
If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything, then ask for help.Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’re experienced in helping new students.Some senior high schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student.He/She will help you if you have any problems or questions.
All change
There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You’ll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.
Other points
If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice.Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.
Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!
4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence
A. Other students have similar feelings to yours.

Can trees talk Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell—a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message
8. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.
A. are lying on the ground B. bees don’t like
C. have an unpleasant taste D. have an unfamiliar shape
9. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.
A. growing more branches B. communicating with birds and bees
C. shaking caterpillars off D. changing its leaf chemistry
10. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.
A. waving its branches B. dropping its leaves
C. giving off a special smell D. changing the colour of its trunk
11. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.
A. touching one another B. making special movement
C. smelling one another D. making unusual sound
D
Growing up, your mom probably kept telling you that you should make your bed in the morning. But it’s time to put this little habit to rest. In fact, it could be better for your physical health to leave your bed unmade during the day, experts say.
What allows you to be extra lazy Dust mites (尘螨). These little creatures live on our dead skin and produce allergens that you could breathe in while you are sleeping. And about 1.5 million dust mites are spending every night with you right now. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to get rid of them: Don’t make your bed in the morning.
Researchers at Kingston University have found that dust mites live well in warm and humid (潮湿的) environments but die in dry conditions, the BBC reports. Making your bed every morning produces a good place for these little creatures, but keeping your bed sheets open kills them off. Sometimes it pays to be a little lazy.
“Something as easy as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove humidity from the bed sheets and mattress. If dust mites won’t be able to get enough water, they’ll finally die,” Dr Stephen Pretlove told the BBC.
Fewer dust mites means fewer health problems, too. However, not all experts agree; according to some, most homes are wet enough for dust mites to live on, no matter what we do. “I find it hard to believe that just not making your bed would have any effect on solving the problem,” Professor Andrew Wardlaw from Britain said.
12. What do experts suggest us doing in Paragraph 1
A. Following our mothers’ advice. B. Enjoying good physical health.
C. Keeping away from bad habits. D. Leaving our bed unmade in the morning.
13. How can we kill dust mites of our beds according to Dr Stephen
A. By keeping our beds dry. B. By cleaning up our rooms.
C. By warming up our rooms. D. By giving dust mites enough water.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Not making the bed can make us lazier.
B. It’s easy to keep dust mites away from our home.
C. Dust mites have nothing to do with health problems.
D. Some experts have different ideas about making the bed.
15. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Sports. B. Advertisement.
C. Science. D. Business.

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.

In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.

After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
