Sarah Toumi, a young girl growing up in France, had a dream of becoming a leader who could make a positive impact on the world. Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations. During her time there, she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi personally witnessed the negative effects of desertification （沙漠化）. She realized that within 10 years, wealthy farmers had become worse off. Toumi was determined to stop the progression of the Sahara Desert. Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts （干旱）, nearly 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.
Toumi understood the need for a change in farming practices. She firmly believed that even small plots of land could bring significant returns if farmers were willing to adapt. This adaptation involved planting sustainable crops, using advanced water treatment technologies, and using natural products and fertilizers （肥料） instead of chemical alternatives.
In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming ideas into action. “I want to show young people in the countryside that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living without water.”
By September 2016, over 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with a survival rate of 60% reported by farmers. Toumi estimates that around 3 million acacia trees are required to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She plans to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the coming years, Toumi aims to promote the program to Algeria and Morocco.
（ ）24．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They made her decide to leave the country. B．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. D．They inspired her to take action to help others.
（ ）25．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall. D．Forest damage.
（ ）26．Why did Toumi start Acacias for All in Tunisia
A．To ensure access to primary education for children.
B．To promote the protection of agricultural land.
C．To create job opportunities for young people.
D．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
（ ）27．Which of the following can best describe Toumi
A．Determined and helpful. B．Considerate and calm.
C．Wealthy and academic. D．Thankful and flexible.
C
Ru Ling loves spending time in skywells. To her, these courtyards of old houses are the perfect place to be in on a hot and humid day. From 2014 to 2021, Ru lived in a century-old wood-framed home in the village of eastern China’s Anhui province. She moved there for a change of life after living and working in air-conditioned buildings for many years.
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is a typical feature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China. They are relatively common in historic residences in Sichuan. Jiangsu. Anhui and Jiangxi. In today’s rapidly urbanizing （城市化） China, fewer and fewer people live in skywell dwellings—air-conditioned flats in multi-storeyed buildings and tower blocks are the main forms of homes.
But a revival （复苏） of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells to be restored for modern times. Meanwhile, as a government push has made low-carbon innovations in the building sector a trend, some architects are drawing inspiration from skywells and other traditional Chinese architectural features to help keep new buildings cooler.
Ancient “green wisdom” such as skywells continues to inspire today’s climate adaptive design and innovations in passive cooling, according to Wang Zhengfeng, a researcher at the Institute for Area Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Passive cooling is a method that incorporates design and technology to cool a building without the use of power.
However, Wang points out some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. The mechanisms of courtyards facilitating natural lighting, ventilation and rain collection are well known, but applying these principles needs to be site-specific. Because traditional skywells had different shapes, sizes and features, adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to be sensitive to their project’s context （环境） and situation, she explains. When asked about why skywells have appealed to modern Chinese people, Wang says that the courtyard is also designed to serve as a gathering space for families or communities. “Perhaps changes in the lifestyle could also lead to nostalgia among people living in concrete and glass forests.”
（ ）28．What is the purpose of the first paragragh
A．To introduce Ru Ling’s love for skywells.
B．To inform readers of the benefits of skywells.
C．To lead in the topic of popularity of skywells.
D．To support the idea of living in skywells.
（ ）29．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．Features and importance of the historic residences.
B．Appreciation for traditional Chinese architecture.
C．Reasons for the comeback of traditional skywells.
D．Great efforts to restore the past glory of skywells.
（ ）30．The underlined word “incorporate” can be best replaced by ______.
A．combine B．collect C．invent D．replace
（ ）31．What may influence the application of skywells in modern designs
A．Lack of enough money and experience. B．Dependence on natural surroundings.
C．People’s specific requirements. D．The fast speed of urbanization.
D
“A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.
Plants produce a high frequency （频率） clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks become far more regular. They also make different sounds, depending on whether they are thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study.
Focusing particularly on tomatoes, wheat and corn, the researchers placed the plants in a soundproof （隔音的） room and recorded their sounds by microphones. Some plants were starved of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm （算法）to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants.
On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20 kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80 kHz region, far beyond our hearing. “The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat.
A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them.
（ ）32．What can we know from the six-year experiment
A．Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations.
B．Plants make sounds of a much lower frequency when stressed.
C．Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency.
D．Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation.
（ ）33．What is the algorithm used for in the research
A．To record the sounds. B．To identify the sounds.
C．To control the sounds. D．To produce the sounds.
（ ）34．What has been proven by scientists
A．Plants can hear each other’s cry for help.
B．The sounds made by plants can be heard by humans.
C．Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make.
D．Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves.
（ ）35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Beautiful Songs from Plants B．Sounds That We Can’t Hear
C．Plants Talk When Stressed D．Animals Can Hear Plants

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E—you have probably watched all these films. 36 Let’s go through the process of creating a cartoon film.
Creating the storyboard
The first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. 37 Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the design sets.
Making characters using 3D modelling
A special computer program is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this is called modelling. The decorations of the sets and props are created using a software. Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. 38 With the aid of the software programme, the 3D shape is recreated.
Creating the movements
The layout crew （摄影构图组） decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton’s （骨架） movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames （帧） in the story. 39
Dressing up for the show
40 The skin and hair for the characters. their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created.
Letting the show begin
Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth! The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5-6 hours to create—imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film!
A．From that, storyboards are drawn.
B．All these films have cost a large amount of money.
C．The sets and props are “decorated” according to the designs.
D．Some of these creations are simple but some are complex.
E．This information is then sent to a software programme.
F．CGI is often applied in film-making to make special effects.
G．Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made

An Honest Mistake
Alice double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand （倒立） if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. n-i-c-e-l-y, q-u-i-c-k-l-y, h-o-n-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
“I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat.
“Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize box. Alice grinned （咧嘴笑） as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Is everything OK ” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he gets home. And Casper, too.” Alice scooped （抱起） up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly ” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly ” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
“Alice, what’s the matter ” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea ” Alice swallowed and whispered “How did you know a “t” is exactly what I needed ”

M: That was a morning in early June. I took a bus to my school in the suburb which was surrounded by rice paddies and ponds. The sky was gray with the gloomy clouds. “There must be heavy rain soon,” I said to myself. When I hurried into the classroom, the sky was covered by black clouds. I felt quite uncomfortable, though it was calm, without any wind. I saw the leaves of trees and grass remained still, which seemed to await something to happen. Several minutes later, I saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunder following. Suddenly, the heavy rain fell and the wind blew. Soon the grass was flattened under the wind and the rain. With the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. I took a deep breath. I felt comfortable. The heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. The air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. I felt like a new man myself.

Sarah Toumi, a young girl growing up in France, had a dream of becoming a leader who could make a positive impact on the world. Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations. During her time there, she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi personally witnessed the negative effects of desertification （沙漠化）. She realized that within 10 years, wealthy farmers had become worse off. Toumi was determined to stop the progression of the Sahara Desert. Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts （干旱）, nearly 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.
Toumi understood the need for a change in farming practices. She firmly believed that even small plots of land could bring significant returns if farmers were willing to adapt. This adaptation involved planting sustainable crops, using advanced water treatment technologies, and using natural products and fertilizers （肥料） instead of chemical alternatives.
In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming ideas into action. “I want to show young people in the countryside that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living without water.”
By September 2016, over 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with a survival rate of 60% reported by farmers. Toumi estimates that around 3 million acacia trees are required to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She plans to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the coming years, Toumi aims to promote the program to Algeria and Morocco.
（ ）24．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They made her decide to leave the country. B．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. D．They inspired her to take action to help others.
（ ）25．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall. D．Forest damage.
（ ）26．Why did Toumi start Acacias for All in Tunisia
A．To ensure access to primary education for children.
B．To promote the protection of agricultural land.
C．To create job opportunities for young people.
D．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
（ ）27．Which of the following can best describe Toumi
A．Determined and helpful. B．Considerate and calm.
C．Wealthy and academic. D．Thankful and flexible.
C
Ru Ling loves spending time in skywells. To her, these courtyards of old houses are the perfect place to be in on a hot and humid day. From 2014 to 2021, Ru lived in a century-old wood-framed home in the village of eastern China’s Anhui province. She moved there for a change of life after living and working in air-conditioned buildings for many years.
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is a typical feature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China. They are relatively common in historic residences in Sichuan. Jiangsu. Anhui and Jiangxi. In today’s rapidly urbanizing （城市化） China, fewer and fewer people live in skywell dwellings—air-conditioned flats in multi-storeyed buildings and tower blocks are the main forms of homes.
But a revival （复苏） of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells to be restored for modern times. Meanwhile, as a government push has made low-carbon innovations in the building sector a trend, some architects are drawing inspiration from skywells and other traditional Chinese architectural features to help keep new buildings cooler.
Ancient “green wisdom” such as skywells continues to inspire today’s climate adaptive design and innovations in passive cooling, according to Wang Zhengfeng, a researcher at the Institute for Area Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Passive cooling is a method that incorporates design and technology to cool a building without the use of power.
However, Wang points out some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. The mechanisms of courtyards facilitating natural lighting, ventilation and rain collection are well known, but applying these principles needs to be site-specific. Because traditional skywells had different shapes, sizes and features, adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to be sensitive to their project’s context （环境） and situation, she explains. When asked about why skywells have appealed to modern Chinese people, Wang says that the courtyard is also designed to serve as a gathering space for families or communities. “Perhaps changes in the lifestyle could also lead to nostalgia among people living in concrete and glass forests.”
（ ）28．What is the purpose of the first paragragh
A．To introduce Ru Ling’s love for skywells.
B．To inform readers of the benefits of skywells.
C．To lead in the topic of popularity of skywells.
D．To support the idea of living in skywells.
（ ）29．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．Features and importance of the historic residences.
B．Appreciation for traditional Chinese architecture.
C．Reasons for the comeback of traditional skywells.
D．Great efforts to restore the past glory of skywells.
（ ）30．The underlined word “incorporate” can be best replaced by ______.
A．combine B．collect C．invent D．replace
（ ）31．What may influence the application of skywells in modern designs
A．Lack of enough money and experience. B．Dependence on natural surroundings.
C．People’s specific requirements. D．The fast speed of urbanization.
D
“A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.
Plants produce a high frequency （频率） clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks become far more regular. They also make different sounds, depending on whether they are thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study.
Focusing particularly on tomatoes, wheat and corn, the researchers placed the plants in a soundproof （隔音的） room and recorded their sounds by microphones. Some plants were starved of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm （算法）to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants.
On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20 kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80 kHz region, far beyond our hearing. “The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat.
A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them.
（ ）32．What can we know from the six-year experiment
A．Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations.
B．Plants make sounds of a much lower frequency when stressed.
C．Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency.
D．Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation.
（ ）33．What is the algorithm used for in the research
A．To record the sounds. B．To identify the sounds.
C．To control the sounds. D．To produce the sounds.
（ ）34．What has been proven by scientists
A．Plants can hear each other’s cry for help.
B．The sounds made by plants can be heard by humans.
C．Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make.
D．Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves.
（ ）35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Beautiful Songs from Plants B．Sounds That We Can’t Hear
C．Plants Talk When Stressed D．Animals Can Hear Plants

Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E—you have probably watched all these films. 36 Let’s go through the process of creating a cartoon film.
Creating the storyboard
The first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. 37 Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the design sets.
Making characters using 3D modelling
A special computer program is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this is called modelling. The decorations of the sets and props are created using a software. Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. 38 With the aid of the software programme, the 3D shape is recreated.
Creating the movements
The layout crew （摄影构图组） decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton’s （骨架） movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames （帧） in the story. 39
Dressing up for the show
40 The skin and hair for the characters. their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created.
Letting the show begin
Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth! The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5-6 hours to create—imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film!
A．From that, storyboards are drawn.
B．All these films have cost a large amount of money.
C．The sets and props are “decorated” according to the designs.
D．Some of these creations are simple but some are complex.
E．This information is then sent to a software programme.
F．CGI is often applied in film-making to make special effects.
G．Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made

An Honest Mistake
Alice double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand （倒立） if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. n-i-c-e-l-y, q-u-i-c-k-l-y, h-o-n-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
“I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat.
“Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize box. Alice grinned （咧嘴笑） as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Is everything OK ” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he gets home. And Casper, too.” Alice scooped （抱起） up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly ” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly ” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
“Alice, what’s the matter ” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea ” Alice swallowed and whispered “How did you know a “t” is exactly what I needed ”

Passage A 略.
Passage B 略.
24．D。细节理解题。从第一段中“Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia”可知去突尼斯的旅行激励着她去帮助别人。故选D。
25．C。推理判断题。从第一段最后“Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts （干旱）”可知，平均降雨量的减少和干旱的增加是主要原因。故选C。
26．B。推理判断题。由第三段中“In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming principles into action. ”可知建立该项目是为了将她的可持续农业理论付诸行动。故选B。
27．A。态度推断题。从第三自然段中的“decisive step”及Toumi推动项目帮助当地人与沙漠化作斗争可知，主人公意志坚定并乐于助人的。故选A。
Passage C
28．C。写作意图题。从第一自然段得知都市女性茹玲（音译）搬离钢筋水泥电梯房，选择居住在中国东部安徽省一座带有天井的百年老屋里居住。阅读下文，我们得知带天井的老房子正在悄然走红，倍受喜爱，我们可推断第一段的写作目的是通过真实事例引出天井焕发活力这一社会现象。故选C。
29．C。段落大意题。从第三段第一句But a revival （复苏） of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells to be restored for modern times. 意为“但是现代社会对于中国传统建筑兴趣的复苏使得天井重新焕发活力”。“Meanwhile, as a government push has made low-carbon innovations in the building sector a trend, some architects are drawing inspiration from skywells and other traditional Chinese architectural features to help keep new buildings cooler.”意为“同时，由于政府对于建筑环保低碳设计理念的大力提倡，一些建筑师正在从天井及其他传统中国建筑特色中汲取灵感，以使建筑保持凉爽”。我们可以总结本段主要内容为传统天井重新回归的原因。选项C中的comeback是原文中的restore的同义替换。故选C。
30．A。词义猜测题。由第四段可知“Passive cooling is a method that incorporates design and technology to cool a building without the use of power. Incorporate.”可推断出被动降温是一种结合设计和技术的方法，可以在不使用电力的情况下为建筑物降温。A选项“combine”意为“结合”，B“collect”意为“收集”，C“invent”意为“发明”；D选项“replace”意为“代替”。故选A。
31．B。推理判断题。最后一段“The mechanisms of courtyards facilitating natural lighting, ventilation and rain collection are well known, but applying these principles needs to be site-specific. but applying these principles needs to be site-specific.”意为“天井促进自然采光、通风和雨水收集的机制众所周知，但这些机制的应用要遵循因地制宜的原则”。由此我们可推断出，现代建筑中天井设计遇到的挑战主要是天井对于地理环境，周遭情况提出的高要求。故选B。
Passage D
32．A。推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.”可知，特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音，结合第二段“…Plants produce a high frequency （频率） clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks become far more regular.”可知，这项为期六年的实验表明植物在有压力的情况下会发出更有规律的声音。故选A。
33．B。推理判断题。文章第三段“The researchers used an algorithm （算法） to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut.”意为“研究人员使用了一种算法来分离噪音，能成功地根据它们缺水还是受到切割来区分声音。”由此可知，该算法用来分离噪音，辨别声音。故选B。
34．D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段讲述的“Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.”并结合最后一段“A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agri cultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves…”可知，植物可以发出声音并对声波做出反应。故选D。
35．C。标题概括题。根据文章第一段“…have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，及其研究的过程。该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。所以“Plants Talk, When Stressed”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍卡通片的制作过程。
36．G。根据上文提示“Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up—you have probably watched all these films”，再根据下文提示“Let’s go through the process of creating a cartoon film. （让我们来看看制作卡通电影的过程）”，可知，根据常识，人们一定想知道这些卡通是怎样制作出来的，接下来空后引出这个话题。故选G项。
37．A。根据上文提示“The first step is to write down the main idea s of the story. （第一步是写下故事的主要构思）”，可知，由初稿绘制出故事板。故选A项。

M: That was a morning in early June. I took a bus to my school in the suburb which was surrounded by rice paddies and ponds. The sky was gray with the gloomy clouds. “There must be heavy rain soon,” I said to myself. When I hurried into the classroom, the sky was covered by black clouds. I felt quite uncomfortable, though it was calm, without any wind. I saw the leaves of trees and grass remained still, which seemed to await something to happen. Several minutes later, I saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunder following. Suddenly, the heavy rain fell and the wind blew. Soon the grass was flattened under the wind and the rain. With the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. I took a deep breath. I felt comfortable. The heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. The air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. I felt like a new man myself.
