A hungry fly speeds through a forest.It smells nectar（花蜜）and lands on a green leaf.It starts to drink the sweet liquid （液体）.Suddenly， the fly's world turns green.The two sides of the leaf close against each other.Long green teeth lock together around it.The fly has been caught by Venus flytrap.There is no way to run away alive.
The Venus flytrap is perhaps the most famous killer plant.However，scientists have only recently started to understand how it hunts （猎取） and cats.After years of study，plant scientist Alexander Volkov believes he now knows the Venus flytrap's secret. "This，" says Volkov， "is an electrical plant.
There are three small hairs along each of the Venus flytrap's two leaves.When an insect touches a hair，it creates an electrical signal （信号） in the leaf.The insect can continue feeding- for now.But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds，the leaf traps suddenly shut.This allows the plant to tell the difference between a drop of water，for example，and a moving insect.
Once trapped，an insect has little chance of staying alive.Instead of nectar，the Venus flytrap now releases （释放） a different liquid - one that slowly eats away at the insect.Ten days later，almost nothing is left.The plant's leaves open again，and the Venus flytrap is ready for its next meal.

【答案】D、C、A、C
【解析】（1）语义猜测题。根据第一段Suddenly， the fly's world turns green.The two sides of the leaf close against each other.Long green teeth lock together around it.The fly has been caught by Venus flytrap.（突然，苍蝇的世界变绿了。这片叶子的两面互相紧贴着。又长又绿的牙齿锁在一起。这只苍蝇被捕蝇草捉住了。）可推知句子表达的是苍蝇被叶子缠住了，故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段When an insect touches a hair，it creates an electrical signal （信号） in the leaf.The insect can continue feeding- for now.But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds，the leaf traps suddenly shut.（当昆虫接触到一根茸毛时，它会在叶子中产生一个电信号。昆虫可以继续进食——暂时如此。但如果它在20秒内碰到另一根茸毛，叶子陷阱就会突然关闭。）可知接触到茸毛会使叶子闭合，故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段When an insect touches a hair，it creates an electrical signal （信号） in the leaf.（当昆虫接触到一根茸毛时，它会在叶子中产生一个电信号。）可知捕蝇草能够发出电信号，故选A。
（4）标题归纳题。根据第二段The Venus flytrap is perhaps the most famous killer plant.（捕蝇草可能是最著名的杀手植物。）结合全文，可知本文主要介绍了捕蝇草的捕食过程，可知本文的标题应为"一种著名的杀手植物"，故选C。
这篇短文主要讲述了一只饥饿的苍蝇在森林中被捕食的过程。它闻到花蜜的味道，降落在一片绿叶上开始喝甜液体。突然，苍蝇的世界变成了绿色。叶子的两侧合拢在一起，长长的绿色牙齿锁住了苍蝇。苍蝇被捕食了，没有逃脱的办法。文中还介绍了食虫植物捕食的方式，科学家们通过研究发现，食虫植物能通过电信号判断食物是否是昆虫。一旦被捕捉，昆虫几乎没有存活的机会，食虫植物会释放一种慢慢腐蚀昆虫的液体。十天后，几乎什么都不剩下，食虫植物的叶子再次张开，准备下一顿餐。

Shen Yingbiao is a xiao player.Although he had strong interests in musical instruments from childhood，it is the xiao that has been the most important part of his life.
Not long after Shen was first attracted （吸引） to the instrument，he decided to learn it.In the 1990s，when Internet was not widespread in China，learning a less popular instrument was not an easy task because there were few teachers.
Besides teaching himself and listening to tapes to compare and improve，Shen stepped on trips to visit those who gave fascinating performances he heard on tapes，and received tutoring （指导） from masters in this area.
Since he had to study at school and then work to support himself，he could only undertake such trips in his spare time. "It was very tiring.Without high-speed trains，I had to take a train for more than 20 hours to Beijing，or other places，to visit people.But I was resolute to take this road.I wanted to improve my skills and learn more，" says Shen.
While learning the instrument，Shen was increasingly fascinated by the rich cultural meanings in the xiao.According to him，a scene from a TV series of a literate （有文化的） person piping （吹奏） the xiao in the moonlight，full of elegance （优雅），poetry and romance，has been kept in his heart since childhood.And that reflects the close relationship between this instrument and the literate in times gone by.
In ancient China，bamboo symbolized honesty，modesty （谦虚） and a spirit of trying to make progress.As a result，many liked the plant and used it to refer to their pursuits （追求） in poems.Song Dynasty （960-1279）poet Su Shi once wrote， "Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo"，suggesting the importance of bamboo in their hearts.
Therefore，the xiao，made of bamboo，was much more than an instrument，but something they often held in hands or put on walls to remind themselves of their pursuits，and they sometimes used the xiao to refer to themselves in poems as well，according to Shen.
"Since the Tang Dynasty （618-907），the xiao was often used in gatherings and meetings of the educated and literate，just like the guqin.It was so popular then that if one was not able to perform it，they were regarded as old-fashioned，" says Shen.
During his learning process，Shen summarized his experience，which paved （铺平） the way for his later teaching.In 2000，with the growth of his fame，he was invited to teach dongxiao，a kind of xiao popular in the Jiangnan area of China，at an art school in Hangzhou.A year later，he set up the Xixi Xiao Society with his students to better promote （推广） the instrument.
1.How did Shen improve his xiao skills？ ______
①By teaching himself.
②By going on trips.
③By visiting the masters.
④By listening to tapes.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
2.Why did the writer mention Su Shi and his poem in paragraph 6？ ______
A. To state a fact. B. To give an example.
C. To express a feeling. D. To show an opinion.
3.What does the passage mainly talk about？ ______
A. A man who loves the xiao deeply.
B. An instrument that is less popular.
C. The ways that people learn the xiao.
D. A plant which carries the literate's pursuits.
【答案】D、B、A
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段Besides teaching himself and listening to tapes to compare and improve，Shen stepped on trips to visit those who gave fascinating performances he heard on tapes，and received tutoring （指导） from masters in this area.（除了自学和听磁带来比较和提高，沈英彪还会去拜访那些他在磁带上听到的精彩表演的人，并接受这一领域的大师的指导。）可知沈英彪通过自学，听磁带以及拜访大师来提高他的演奏技巧，故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第六段In ancient China，bamboo symbolized honesty，modesty （谦虚） and a spirit of trying to make progress.As a result，many liked the plant and used it to refer to their pursuits （追求） in poems.Song Dynasty （960-1279）poet Su Shi once wrote， "Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo"，suggesting the importance of bamboo in their hearts.（在中国古代，竹子象征着诚实、谦虚和努力进取的精神。因此，许多人喜欢这种植物，并用它来指代他们在诗歌中的追求。宋朝（960-1279）诗人苏轼曾写道："宁食无肉，不生无竹"，暗示了竹子在他们心中的重要性。）可推知第六段提到苏轼是举例子，故选B。
（3）主旨大意题。根据第一段Shen Yingbiao is a xiao player.Although he had strong interests in musical instruments from childhood，it is the xiao that has been the most important part of his life.（沈英彪是一名萧演奏家。虽然他从小就对乐器有浓厚的兴趣，但箫一直是他生活中最重要的部分。）结合下文，可知本文主要介绍了一位非常喜欢萧的演奏家沈英彪的故事，故选A。
本文主要介绍了萧演奏家沈英彪的故事。他从小就对乐器有浓厚的兴趣，但最终选择了萧作为自己的人生重心。在中国互联网不普及的90年代，学习不太流行的乐器并不容易，但沈英彪通过自学、听磁带、拜访大师等方式不断提高自己的演奏技巧。他对萧的文化内涵也越来越着迷，认为萧与文人雅士有着密切的联系。沈英彪总结了自己的学习经验，成为了一名萧演奏家和教师，致力于推广萧这一古老的乐器。

Once trapped，an insect has little chance of staying alive.Instead of nectar，the Venus flytrap now releases （释放） a different liquid - one that slowly eats away at the insect.Ten days later，almost nothing is left.The plant's leaves open again，and the Venus flytrap is ready for its next meal.

Shen Yingbiao is a xiao player.Although he had strong interests in musical instruments from childhood，it is the xiao that has been the most important part of his life.
Not long after Shen was first attracted （吸引） to the instrument，he decided to learn it.In the 1990s，when Internet was not widespread in China，learning a less popular instrument was not an easy task because there were few teachers.
Besides teaching himself and listening to tapes to compare and improve，Shen stepped on trips to visit those who gave fascinating performances he heard on tapes，and received tutoring （指导） from masters in this area.
Since he had to study at school and then work to support himself，he could only undertake such trips in his spare time. "It was very tiring.Without high-speed trains，I had to take a train for more than 20 hours to Beijing，or other places，to visit people.But I was resolute to take this road.I wanted to improve my skills and learn more，" says Shen.
While learning the instrument，Shen was increasingly fascinated by the rich cultural meanings in the xiao.According to him，a scene from a TV series of a literate （有文化的） person piping （吹奏） the xiao in the moonlight，full of elegance （优雅），poetry and romance，has been kept in his heart since childhood.And that reflects the close relationship between this instrument and the literate in times gone by.
In ancient China，bamboo symbolized honesty，modesty （谦虚） and a spirit of trying to make progress.As a result，many liked the plant and used it to refer to their pursuits （追求） in poems.Song Dynasty （960-1279）poet Su Shi once wrote， "Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo"，suggesting the importance of bamboo in their hearts.
Therefore，the xiao，made of bamboo，was much more than an instrument，but something they often held in hands or put on walls to remind themselves of their pursuits，and they sometimes used the xiao to refer to themselves in poems as well，according to Shen.
"Since the Tang Dynasty （618-907），the xiao was often used in gatherings and meetings of the educated and literate，just like the guqin.It was so popular then that if one was not able to perform it，they were regarded as old-fashioned，" says Shen.
During his learning process，Shen summarized his experience，which paved （铺平） the way for his later teaching.In 2000，with the growth of his fame，he was invited to teach dongxiao，a kind of xiao popular in the Jiangnan area of China，at an art school in Hangzhou.A year later，he set up the Xixi Xiao Society with his students to better promote （推广） the instrument.
1.How did Shen improve his xiao skills？ ______
①By teaching himself.
②By going on trips.
③By visiting the masters.
④By listening to tapes.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
2.Why did the writer mention Su Shi and his poem in paragraph 6？ ______
A. To state a fact. B. To give an example.
C. To express a feeling. D. To show an opinion.
3.What does the passage mainly talk about？ ______
A. A man who loves the xiao deeply.
B. An instrument that is less popular.
C. The ways that people learn the xiao.
D. A plant which carries the literate's pursuits.
