What
can
we

fruit
is
a
good
choice；strawberry(草莓)
is
said
to
be
the
“Queen
of
fruit”
as
it
has
many
nutritious
elements.But
many
people
feel
that
the
strawberry
in
the
current
market
tastes
different
as
many
strawberries
are
artificially(人工地)
grown
and
some
even
have
a
scent
of
pesticides.So
finding
naturally-grown
strawberries
is
a
hot
issue.There

B
When
a
leafy
plant
is
under
attack，it
doesn’t
sit
quietly.Back
in
1983，two
scientists，Jack
Schultz
and
Ian
Baldwin，reported
that
young
maple
trees
getting
bitten
by
insects
send
out
a
particular
smell
that
neighboring
plants
can
get.These
chemicals
come
from
the
injured
parts
of
the
plant
and
seem
to
be
an
alarm.What
the
plants
pump
through
the
air
is
a
mixture
of
chemicals
known
as
volatile
organic
compounds，VOCs
for
short.
Scientists
have
found
that
all
kinds
of
plants
give
out
VOCs
when
being
attacked.It’s
a
plant’s
way
of
crying
out.But
is
anyone
listening?
Apparently.Because
we
can
watch
the
neighbors
react.
Some
plants
pump
out
smelly
chemicals
to
keep
insects
away.But
others
do
double
duty.They
pump
out
perfumes
designed
to
attract
different
insects
who
are
natural
enemies
to
the
attackers.Once
they
arrive，the
tables
are
turned.The
attacker
who
was
lunching
now
becomes
lunch.
In
study
after
study，it
appears
that
these
chemical
conversations
help
the
neighbors.The
damage
is
usually
more
serious
on
the
first
plant，but
the
neighbors，relatively
speaking，stay
safer
because
they
heard
the
alarm
and
knew
what
to
do.
Does
this
mean
that
plants
talk
to
each
other?
Scientists
don’t
know.Maybe
the
first
plant
just
made
a
cry
of
pain
or
was
sending
a
message
to
its
own
branches，and
so，in
effect，was
talking
to
itself.Perhaps
the
neighbors
just
happened
to
“overhear”
the
cry.So
information
was
exchanged，but
it
wasn’t
a
true，intentional
back
and
forth.
Charles
Darwin，over
150
years
ago，imagined
a
world
far
busier，noisier
and
more
intimate(亲密的)
than
the
world
we
can
see
and
hear.Our
senses
are
weak.There’s
a
whole
lot
going
on.
5．What
does
a
plant
do
when
it
is
under
attack?
A．It
makes
noises.
B．It
gets
help
from
other
plants.
C．It
stands
quietly.
D．It
sends
out
certain
chemicals.
6．What
does
the
author
mean
by
“the
tables
are
turned”
in
Paragraph
3?
A．The
attackers
get
attacked.
B．The
insects
gather
under
the
table.
C．The
plants
get
ready
to
fight
back.
D．The
perfumes
attract
natural
enemies.
7．Scientists
find
from
their
studies
that
plants
can
.
A．predict
natural
disasters
B．protect
themselves
against
insects
C．talk
to
one
another
intentionally
D．help
their
neighbors
when
necessary
8．What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph?
A．The
world
is
changing
faster
than
ever.
B．People
have
stronger
senses
than
before.
C．The
world
is
more
complex
than
it
seems.
D．People
in
Darwin’s
time
were
more
imaginative.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇宣传草莓采摘园的广告。介绍了三个草莓采摘园的大概情况、地址和联系方式。
1．答案C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...artificially(人工地)
grown
and
some
even
have
a
scent
of
pesticides.So
finding
naturally-grown
strawberries
is
a
hot
issue.There
are
some
places
where
you
can
not
only
find
tasteful
strawberries...”可知，自然生长的草莓更美味，而且没有杀虫剂。故选C。
2．答案C
解析：数字计算题。根据第二段中的“...a
kilogram
of
strawberries
for
only
12
yuan...you
can
get
a
discount
card
and
enjoy
an
extra
20
percent
discount
on
your
purchase.”可知，十斤共120元，打完折后是96元，即12×0.8×10＝96。故选C。
3．答案C
解析：细节理解题。根据Baiyun
Strawberry
Garden部分中的“You
can
have
fun
picking
strawberries
in
person，but
you
can’t
taste
them
for
free.”可知，顾客不可以免费品尝。故选C。
4．答案A
解析：写作意图题。登广告的目的是宣传一种商品或服务，本文介绍了三处草莓采摘园，并附有各自的地址和联系方式，目的是吸引读者前去购买草莓。故选A。
B
When
a
leafy
plant
is
under
attack，it
doesn’t
sit
quietly.Back
in
1983，two
scientists，Jack
Schultz
and
Ian
Baldwin，reported
that
young
maple
trees
getting
bitten
by
insects
send
out
a
particular
smell
that
neighboring
plants
can
get.These
chemicals
come
from
the
injured
parts
of
the
plant
and
seem
to
be
an
alarm.What
the
plants
pump
through
the
air
is
a
mixture
of
chemicals
known
as
volatile
organic
compounds，VOCs
for
short.
Scientists
have
found
that
all
kinds
of
plants
give
out
VOCs
when
being
attacked.It’s
a
plant’s
way
of
crying
out.But
is
anyone
listening?
Apparently.Because
we
can
watch
the
neighbors
react.
Some
plants
pump
out
smelly
chemicals
to
keep
insects
away.But
others
do
double
duty.They
pump
out
perfumes
designed
to
attract
different
insects
who
are
natural
enemies
to
the
attackers.Once
they
arrive，the
tables
are
turned.The
attacker
who
was
lunching
now
becomes
lunch.
In
study
after
study，it
appears
that
these
chemical
conversations
help
the
neighbors.The
damage
is
usually
more
serious
on
the
first
plant，but
the
neighbors，relatively
speaking，stay
safer
because
they
heard
the
alarm
and
knew
what
to
do.
Does
this
mean
that
plants
talk
to
each
other?
Scientists
don’t
know.Maybe
the
first
plant
just
made
a
cry
of
pain
or
was
sending
a
message
to
its
own
branches，and
so，in
effect，was
talking
to
itself.Perhaps
the
neighbors
just
happened
to
“overhear”
the
cry.So
information
was
exchanged，but
it
wasn’t
a
true，intentional
back
and
forth.
Charles
Darwin，over
150
years
ago，imagined
a
world
far
busier，noisier
and
more
intimate(亲密的)
than
the
world
we
can
see
and
hear.Our
senses
are
weak.There’s
a
whole
lot
going
on.
5．What
does
a
plant
do
when
it
is
under
attack?
A．It
makes
noises.
B．It
gets
help
from
other
plants.
C．It
stands
quietly.
D．It
sends
out
certain
chemicals.
6．What
does
the
author
mean
by
“the
tables
are
turned”
in
Paragraph
3?
A．The
attackers
get
attacked.
B．The
insects
gather
under
the
table.
C．The
plants
get
ready
to
fight
back.
D．The
perfumes
attract
natural
enemies.
7．Scientists
find
from
their
studies
that
plants
can
.
A．predict
natural
disasters
B．protect
themselves
against
insects
C．talk
to
one
another
intentionally
D．help
their
neighbors
when
necessary
8．What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph?
A．The
world
is
changing
faster
than
ever.
B．People
have
stronger
senses
than
before.
C．The
world
is
more
complex
than
it
seems.
D．People
in
Darwin’s
time
were
more
imaginative.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物受到袭击时会释放出某种化学物质来保护自己并“告知”附近的植物。
5．答案D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...reported
that
young
maple
trees
getting
bitten
by
insects
send
out
a
particular
smell
that
neighboring
plants
can
get.These
chemicals
come
from
the
injured
parts
of
the
plant
and
seem
to
be
an
alarm.”可知，植物受到伤害时会散发出一种特殊的气味，而这种特殊的气味就是某些化学物质。故选D项。
6．答案A
解析：句意理解题。根据第三段中的“They
pump
out
perfumes
designed
to
attract
different
insects
who
are
natural
enemies
to
the
attackers.”(它们散发出气味意在吸引不同的昆虫，这些昆虫是袭击者的天敌)，以及画线部分后的“The
attacker
who
was
lunching
now
becomes
lunch.”(正在吃午餐的袭击者现在就变成了午餐)可知，画线部分的意思是：袭击者受到了它的天敌的袭击。故选A项。
7．答案B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Some
plants
pump
out
smelly
chemicals
to
keep
insects
away.”和“They
pump
out
perfumes
designed
to
attract
different
insects
who
are
natural
enemies
to
the
attackers.”可知，植物能保护自己免受昆虫的伤害。故选B项。
8．答案C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，达尔文设想了一个远比现实世界更繁忙、更喧嚣和更亲密的世界，而我们的感官却非常弱，我们还有很长的路要走。由此可知，世界似乎比它看上去的样子更复杂。故选C项。
