(2023湖南株洲中考)
　　Take care of your plants! They may “shout” if you treat them badly.
　　Plants can make sounds when they are stressed, according to a recent study. “Plants use sound to communicate with animals all the time, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sound at all,” Lilach Hadany, co-author (合著者) of the study, told Science Focus.
　　With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants’ sounds. They put sweet pepper and tomato plants in soundproof boxes to shut off the noise in the environment. Several ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) were then put near the plants, which can record between 20 and 250 kilohertz (千赫兹). A human adult’s ear can hear about 16 kilohertz. There were three groups of plants: One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had some parts cut off and the last group was untouched. The microphones caught sounds from 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sound, which was similar to the noise of popcorn popping grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to become weaker and weaker as the plants dried out. A stressed plan produced the popping sound around 30 to 50 times per hour, while the untouched group only produced around once per hour, according to the study.
21.Plants use 　　　 to communicate with animals all the time according to the study.
A.sound　　　　B.smell　　　　C.light
22.What does the underlined word “soundproof” in P3 mean
A.发出声音的　　B.隔离声音的
C.吸收声音的
23.A human adult’s ear can hear about 　　　.
A.16 kilohertz　　B.20 kilohertz
C.250 kilohertz
24.According to the study, the untouched group of the plants produced the popping sound around 　　　.
A.40 to 80 times per hour
B.30 to 60 times per hour
C.once per hour
25.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Plants can make sounds.
B.How to take care of your plants.
C.The team made machine-learning applications.

【新素材·阳台“农场”】(2023黑龙江齐齐哈尔中考改编)
　　Farming has always been a countryside thing. But now, farms are coming to the balconies(阳台) of city flats.
　　According to a recent report, sales of vegetable seeds(种子) on the Internet in the first quarter of 2022 doubled compared with the same period in 2021. Of these buyers, most were born after 1995.
　　Zhang Chao from Anhui Province is one young“city farmer”. The senior high school student said his love for planting was formed in primary school, when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. He learned to grow vegetables from his grandpa, who has been a farmer for life. Though farming takes hard work, Zhang said he felt excited when he saw seeds turn into plants.
　　Now Zhang still keeps up his hobby with a balcony garden. He grows strawberries and carrots.
　　“Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings delicious food, but it also reminds me of the happy times with my grandpa,”said Zhang.
　　Unlike Zhang, Fang Minke from Shenzhen thinks that planting a garden is a good way to relax and develop patience.
The 16-year-old girl sometimes felt stressed. To deal with this, she started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were given to her by friends. Not knowing what plants the seeds were from, she just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a small garden.
　Every day it takes her long hours to do homework. Then she likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing different colors and
breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature,”Fang said.
　　Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to live. It also brings joy to the lives of the young.

Dear classmates,
Tree Planting Day is coming. We should plant more trees and take care of trees at the same time.
Trees are important to us. Trees can not only make the air clean, beautify the cities, but also provide the places for humans to rest. What’s more, trees can also stop the wind from blowing the sand away, which is really helpful for the environmental protection.
Trees are useful for us. Let’s work together to plant more trees and protect our home.
Yours,
