拉分题型专项训练2——阅读理解
(一)
阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
A
young
man
went
to
the
boss
of
a
logging
crew
(伐木队)
and
asked
for
a
job.
“That
depends，”
replied
the
boss.
“Let's
see
you
fell
this
tree.”
The
young
man
stepped
forward
and
skillfully
felled
a
big
tree.
The
boss
was
amazed
and
said,
“You
can
start
on
Monday.”
Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday
went
by,
and
Thursday
afternoon
the
boss
went
to
the
young
man
and
said,
“You
can
pick
up
your
wages
(薪水)
on
your
way
out
today.”
The
young
man
was
very
surprised.
He
replied,
“I
thought
you
would
pay
on
Friday.”
“Usually
we
do，”
the
boss
said.
“But
we're
letting
you
go
today
because
you've
fallen
behind.
Our
daily
felling
charts
(日程表)
show
that
you've
dropped
from
first
place
on
Monday
to
last
place
today.”
“But
I'm
quite
hard?working，”
the
young
man
argued.
“I
am
the
first
to
arrive,
and
the
last
to
leave,
and
even
work
during
my
coffee
breaks！”
The
boss
thought
for
a
minute
and
then
asked,
“Have
you
sharpened
your
axe
(斧子)？”
The
young
man
replied,
“No,
sir.
I've
been
working
too
hard
to
take
time
for
that！”
Our
lives
are
like
this.
We
sometimes
get
so
busy
that
we
don't
take
time
to
“sharpen
the
axe”.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
working
hard.
But
we
all
need
time
to
relax,
to
think,
to
learn
and
grow.
If
we
don't
take
time
to
relax,
we
will
feel
tired
and
lose
our
effectiveness
(效率)．

there
is
a

way.
B.
Health
is
the
best
treasure
a
man
can
have.
C.
Hard
work
can
make
up
for
a
lack
of
intelligence.
D.
Taking
time
to
“sharpen
the
axe”
can
make
us
more
effective.
Take
any
long
piece
of
paper
and
glue
the
ends
of
the
paper
together.
You
have
made
a
ring.
Take
a
second
long
piece
of
paper,
twist
(扭转)
one
of
the
ends
through
180°，
and
glue
the
ends
together.
Now
you
have
made
a
Mobius
band．
The
band
is
named
after
the
German
mathematician
August
Ferdinand
Mobius
who
discovered
it
in
September
1858.
It
is
special
because
it
is
single?sided.
To
prove
it,
you
can
draw
a
line
along
the
middle
of
a
common
ring.
The
line
is
only
on
one
side
of
the
paper.
However,
if
you
draw
a
line
after
you
make
the
Mobius
band,
pay
attention
not
to
take
the
pen
off
the
paper
when
drawing
the
line,
just
keep
on
going
until
you
return
to
the
starting
point.
Once
you've
finished,
you'll
get
an
unbroken
line
which
goes
along
both
sides
of
the
paper.
It
is
also
kind
of
fun
to
see
what
happens
when
you
cut
the
band.
If
you
cut
it
in
half
along
the
middle
of
the
Mobius
band,
you
do
not
get
two
Mobius
bands.
Instead,
after
you
cut
the
band,
it
turns
into
one
large
twisted
ring.
Then,
if
you
cut
this
ring
in
half
along
the
middle
of
the
band
again,
you
get
two
connected
twisted
rings.
As
an
experiment,
try
cutting
around
a
Mobius
band
Mobius
band
one?third
of
the
way
from
the
edge.
What
do
you
get?
Make
a
collection
of
Mobius
bands－fat
ones.
Mark
them
in
fourths,
fifths,
sixths,
and
cut
around
them.
Keep
a
road
of
your
results.

Many
of
you
have
probably
had
this
experience:
You
get
on
a
train
and
are
ready
to
take
a
nap
or
read
a
book,
only
to
find
that
the
passenger
in
front
of
you
is
watching
a
TV
show
on
his
iPad
without
headphones.
The
child
next
to
you
won't
stop
crying.
And
the
old
lady
behind
you
talks
on
her
phone
during
the
whole
trip.
Wish
the
train
could
be
less
noisy?
There
might
be
a
solution
for
you.
The
Beijing?Shanghai
high?speed
railway,
one
of
China's
busiest
high?speed
rail
lines,
will
have
“quiet”
carriages
(车厢)
starting
from
Dec
23,
Xinhua
reported.
In
quiet
carriages,
onboard
videos
will
be
muted
(静音)
and
announcements
will
be
made
in
a
lower
voice.
Doors
at
the
ends
of
the
carriage
will
be
kept
closed
to
reduce
noise
from
other
carriages,
CGTN
noted.
Train
attendants
(乘务员)
will
be
responsible
for
making
sure
that
passengers
remain
quiet
and
follow
the
rules.
Passengers
who
are
willing
to
obey
the
rules
can
choose
the
quiet
carriages
when
booking
their
tickets.
Some
people
have
pointed
out
that
this
kind
of
quiet
environment
should
be
offered
in
all
carriages.
They
say
that
having
quiet
carriages
might
give
people
the
impression
that
they
don't
need
to
be
quiet
in
non?quiet
carriages.
While
some
Internet
users
are
in
favor
of
the
new
service,
it
has
also
sparked
discussion
about
just
how
quiet
travelers
should
be
in
quiet
carriages.
Many
people
have
raised
questions
such
as
“What
if
I
snore
(打呼噜)？”
and
“Can
we
talk
to
our
travel
companions
if
we
need
to？”
(　　)11.

can
we
know
from
Paragraph
1?

Many
people
watch
TV
shows

kinds
of
things
on
trains.
C.
Traveling
by
train
is
very
common.
D.
People
on
trains
are
sometimes
very
noisy.
(　　)12.
How
will
quiet
carriages
work?

Train
attendants
won't
make
any
announcements.

No
one
will
make

passengers
follow
the
rules.
C.
Passengers
won't
be
allowed
to
watch
videos.
D.
The
doors
of
these
carriages
will
stay
closed.
(　　)13.
What

of”
in
the
last
paragraph
mean?
A.
In
need
of.
B.
In
support
of.
C.
In

of.
D.
In
place

(　　)14.
What
do
we
know

should
be
made
more

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
We're
sitting
too
much
and
it's
dangerous.
Most
Americans
spend
more
than
seven
hours
sitting
every
day,
and
the
more
you
sit,
the
weaker
your
body
will
be.
Fortunately,
there
are
simple
changes
you
can
make
during
the
day—anywhere,
even
at
the
workplace—to
improve
your
health.
Park
a
few
blocks
away
from
the
office
each
morning
and
walk
to
work.
This
allows
you
to
start
off
your
mornings
actively
and
be
ready
to
take
on
the
work.
If
you
take
the
bus,
get
off
one
stop
earlier
to
take
some
light
exercise
before
8
a．m.
Get
up
and
move
around
the
office
once
every
60～90
minutes.
When
you're
busy
with
work,
it's
easy
to
forget
the
time.
Set
the
alarm
to
remind
you
to
get
up
and
take
a
walk
around
the
office.
You
can
use
this
time
to
fill
up
your
water
bottle
or
go
to
the
bathroom.
Ask
questions
and
discuss
questions
face
to
face.
Go
to
your
co?worker's
office
to
discuss
questions
face
to
face,
rather
than
send
an
e?mail
every
time
you
have
a
question.
This
gives
you
a
good
excuse
to
move.
Use
your
lunch
break
to
move
around
outside.
So
many
Americans
today
work
during
their
lunch
break.
When
possible,
take
advantage
of
this
time
to
walk
outside
and
enjoy
the
nice
weather.
Fresh
air
can
make
you
keep
a
clear
mind.

A
young
boy
was
hungry
for
success.
For
him,
winning
was
everything.
One
day,
the
boy
was
preparing
himself
for
a
running
competition
in
his
small
village.
He
was
to
compete
with
two
other
young
boys.
A
large
crowd
gathered
there
to
watch,
including
a
wise
old
man.
The
race
began.
With
his
strength
and
power,
the
boy
easily
took
the
lead.
The
crowd
cheered
and
waved.
The
little
boy
felt
proud
and
important.
However,
the
wise
man
remained
still
and
calm.
“Another
race,
another
race！”
yelled
the
little
boy.
The
wise
old
man
stepped
forward
and
presented
the
little
boy
with
two
new
challengers:
an
old
lady
and
a
blind
man.
The
race
started
and
the
boy
was
the
only
one
to
cross
the
finish
line.
The
little
boy
raised
his
arms
happily.
The
crowd,
however,
was
silent.
“Race
again，”
said
the
wise
man.
“This
time,
all
three
of
you
finish
together.”
The
little
boy
thought
a
little,
stood
in
between
the
blind
man
and
the
old
lady,
and
then
took
them
by
the
hand.
The
race
began
and
the
little
boy
walked
slowly
to
the
finishing
line
and
crossed
it.
The
crowd
cheered
and
waved.
The
wise
man
smiled,
too.
“Which
one
of
us
is
the
crowd
cheering
for？”
asked
the
little
boy.
“For
this
race,
you
have
won
much
more
than
in
any
other
race
you've
ever
run
before，”
said
the
wise
man.
“For
this
race,
the
crowd
cheered
not
for
any
winner！”

In
what
ways
has
global
warming
affected
our
world?
Rising
sea
levels,
melting
glaciers
(冰川)
and
extreme
weather
are
just
a
few
examples.
But
did
you
know
that
global
warming
can
also
bring
other,
less
obvious
long?term
changes?
Ending
racial
(种族的)
differences
Global
warming
causes
droughts
and
poor
harvests.
This
can
force
people
to
leave
their
homelands
and
move
to
other
places.
One
result
of
this
is
gene
flow
(基因流动).
This
term
describes
the
mixing
of
genes
between
populations,
Scott
Solomon,
a
biologist
at
Rice
University
in
the
US,
told
the
Daily
Mail.
In
just
125
years,
there
may
be
fewer
people
with
dark
skin
or
pale
skin.
More
people
will
have
olive
(橄榄色的)
or
brown?colored
skin.
Racism
could
be
lessened
or
disappear,
Solomon
said.
Making
insects
hungrier
According
to
Science
Daily,
when
it
is
warmer,
insects'
body
temperatures
go
up
along
with
the
outside
temperature.
This
is
very
different
from
humans
and
other
mammals
(哺乳动物),
who
can
keep
their
body
temperature
at
a
certain
level
without
being
affected
by
the
weather.
Higher
body
temperatures
can
increase
the
insects'
metabolism
(新陈代谢).
This
makes
them
hungrier,
so
they
need
to
eat
more.
Helping
scientists
find
historic
sites
Britain
had
a
very
dry
and
hot
summer
this
year
because
of
global
warming,
the
Independent
reported.
After
the
dry
weather
turned
the
country's
green
landscape
yellow,
people
noticed
some
unusual
patterns
in
the
middle
of
a
field.
That's
because
grass
that
grows
above
historic
sites
has
a
different
color
and
height
from
other
grass.
This
helped
people
find
a
Roman
farm.
(　　)11.
According
to
Solomon,
which
skin
color
will
be
more
common
in
the
future?
A.
Dark.
B.
Pale.
C.
Yellow.
D.
Brown.
(　　)12.
How
could
racism
be
reduced
or
disappear?
A.
The
differences
among
people
will
be
lessened.
B.
All
the
people
will
move
to
the
same
place.
C.

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Once
upon
a
time,
there
was
a
family
with
18
children
living
in
a
village.
Two
of
the
children,
both
boys,
loved
painting
very
much,
but
the
family
was
so
poor
that
it
was
impossible
to
send
both
of
them
to
study
at
art
school
at
the
same
time.
After
many
discussions,
the
two
boys
finally
worked
out
a
plan.
They
would
toss
(抛)
a
coin.
The
loser
would
go
down
into
the
mines
(煤矿)
and,
with
his
money,
pay
for
his
brother's
college
tuition
(学费).
Then,
when
the
brother
who
won
the
toss
finished
his
studies,
he
would
pay
for
the
other
brother
to
study
at
the
college.
One
of
the
brothers,
Albrecht
Durer,
won
the
toss
and
his
brother
Jack
went
down
into
the
mines.
Durer
worked
with
all
his
heart
and
his
paintings
were
much
better
than
those
of
most
of
his
teachers.
He
was
beginning
to
make
a
lot
of
money
for
his
paintings.
Durer
returned.
When
he
told
Jack
he
could
go
to
art
college.
Jack
said
softly:
“The
four
years
in
the
mines
have
done
too
much
to
my
hands.
It
is
too
late.
Now
I
can't
even
hold
a
glass.”
To
show
his
great
love
and
respect
for
his
brother,
Durer
drew
his
brother's
hands
with
palms
(手掌)
together
and
thin
fingers
towards
the
sky.
He
called
his
drawing
The
Praying
Hands,
which
showed
his
brother's
dream.
The
next
time
you
see
a
copy
of
that
touching
work,
take
a
second
look.
Let
it
be
your
reminder:
No
one
can
ever
succeed
alone.
(　　)1.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
correct
about
Durer
and
Jack's
family?
A.
They
live
in
the
countryside.
B.
They
only
have
two
children.
C.
Both
of
Durer
and
Jack
loved
painting.
D.
They
are
too
poor
to
send
children
to
go
to
school.
(　　)2.
What
can
we
know
according
to
the
two
brothers'
discussion?
A.
They
let
the
coin
decide
who
would
go
to
college
first.
B.
The
winner
would
go
to
college
with
their
family's
help.
C.
The
loser
would
earn
money
to
pay
for
his
own
education.
D.
The
winner
would
work
in
the
mines
after
graduation.
(　　)3.
Why
did
Jack
refuse
his
brother's
offer?
A.
Because
he
was
too
old
to
learn
drawing.
B.
Because
he
suffered
an
accident.
C.
Because
he
was
not
used
to
holding
a
pen
or
brush.
D.
Because
his
hands
were
out
of
shape
as
a
result
of
his
work.
(　　)4.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“it”
in
the
last
paragraph
mean?
A.
His
brother's
palm.
B.
His
brother's
dream.
C.
The
Praying
Hands.
D.
Taking
a
second
look.
(　　)5.
What
is
the
story
mainly
about?
A.
How
a
talented
artist
became
famous.
B.
How
a
young
man
lost
his
talent.
C.
How
a
famous
painting
came
out.
D.
How
success
is
possible
only
with
the
help
of
others.
What
genetic
traits
(遗传特性)
did
your
parents
pass
on
to
you?
Was
it
their
eye
color
or
their
height?
It
could
be
their
sense
of
humor
or
their
musical
talent.
Or
maybe
it
was
their
fear
of
maths.
A
research
at
Ohio
State
University
in
the
US
has
found
that
genetics
are
partly
responsible
for
children's
maths
skills
and
anxiety
about
maths.
Scientists
studied
over
500
sets
of
twins
to
find
out
how
genetics
affect
maths
anxiety.
Over
a
period
of
10
years,
the
twins
completed
maths
tests
and
filled
out
surveys
about
their
levels
of
maths
anxiety.
They
found
that
fraternal
twins
(twins
with
different
genetics)
had
different
levels
of
skill
and
anxiety
about
maths.
Identical
twins
(twins
with
the
same
gene
set)
had
similar
levels.
This
shows
that
people's
fear
of
maths
is
partially
affected
by
their
genetic
makeup
(基因构造)．
Maths
anxiety
has
a
strong
effect
on
a
child's
abilities.
A
study
at
the
University
of
Chicago
found
maths
anxiety
can
cause
the
same
feeling
as
being
physically
hurt.
This
anxiety
means
that
some
students
are
not
willing
to
study
maths
as
much
as
they
should.
Therefore,
they
become
even
worse
at
maths
and
less
confident
in
their
skill.
This
only
adds
to
their
fear.
But
if
you're
bad
at
maths,
don't
try
to
blame
it
on
your
parents.
Maths
anxiety
is
still
rare－genetic
factors
explained
about
40
percent
of
people's
math
anxiety.
The
environment,
including
school
and
family,
is
also
part
of
the
causes.
(　　)6.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“anxiety”
in
Paragraph
2
mean?
A.
Unhappy.
B.
Curious.
C.
Worried.
D.
Crazy.
(　　)7.
What
did
the
researchers
at
Ohio
State
University
find?
A.
Maths
anxiety
has
something
to
do
with
genetics.
B.
Parents
can
pass
their
eye
color
on
to
their
children.
C.
Children's
maths
skills
are
determined
by
their
parents.
D.
Fear
of
maths
is
very
common
among
twins.
(　　)8.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“this”
refer
to?
A.
The
genetic
traits.
B.
The
results
of
the
survey.
C.
The
similar
level
of
maths
anxiety.
D.
Parents'
maths
skills.
(　　)9.
What
do
we
know
from
the
passage?
A.
People
are
born
with
maths
anxiety.
B.
There
is
no
way
to
deal
with
maths
anxiety.
C.
Parents
should
learn
maths
well
themselves.
D.
Genetics
is
not
the
only
cause
for
maths
anxiety.
(　　)10.
What
would
the
writer
probably
talk
about
in
the
following
paragraph?
A.
Advice
on
how
to
learn
maths.
B.
The
importance
of
dealing
with
maths
anxiety.
C.
Suggestions
for
parents
to
teach
children
maths.
D.
How
the
environment
influences
children's
maths
anxiety.
When
you're
eating
dinner
with
your
family,
do
your
parents
ever
remind
you
to
finish
all
the
food
on
your
plate?
If
so,
you
should
know
it's
not
just
because
they
want
you
to
be
healthy.
They
also
want
to
stop
food
waste.
Every
year,
1.3
billion
tons
of
food
is
wasted
around
the
world,
according
to
the
United
Nations.
That's
about
one?third
of
all
food
produced
each
year.
The
Economist
Intelligence
Unit
(EIU,
经济学人智库)
recently
surveyed
34
nations
to
see
how
much
food
is
wasted
in
different
countries.
For
example,
the
United
Arab
Emirates
(UAE,
阿联酋)
wastes
the
most
food,
with
each
of
its
citizens
wasting
about
1，000
kg
every
year
on
average.
However,
some
countries
have
worked
hard
to
use
their
food
resources
(资源)
wisely.
France
wastes
the
least
amount
of
food,
according
to
the
survey.
France
was
the
first
country
to
pass
laws
that
food
waste
is
not
allowed.
One
law
makes
it
illegal
(非法的)
to
throw
away
fresh
food.
Another
law
forces
French
restaurants
to
provide
bags
for
people's
leftovers
(剩菜剩饭)
when
they
go
out
to
eat.
China
ranked
23rd
for
food
waste
in
the
survey.
China's
food
waste
is
around
18
million
tons
per
year,
enough
to
feed
up
to
50
million
people
for
one
year.
Facing
this
situation,
China
has
been
working
hard
to
reduce
food
waste.
In
early
2013,
a
movement
to
prevent
food
waste
called
“empty
plate”
began.
It
has
become
a
trend
among
both
government
officials
and
the
general
public.
(　　)11.
How
much
food
is
produced
every
year
around
the
world?
A.
Nearly
4
billion
tons.
B.
About
1.3
billion
tons.
C.
1，000
kg.
D.
More
than
34，000
kg.
(　　)12.
According
to
the
survey,
which
country
wastes
the
most
amount
of
food?
A.
The
United
States.
B.
The
United
Arab
Emirates.
C.
France.
D.
China.
(　　)13.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
correct
about
France?
A.
France
has
some
laws
to
stop
wasting
food.
B.
France
hasn't
wasted
food
as
much
as
UAE.
C.
French
restaurants
don't
have
leftovers
any
more.
D.
French
restaurants
can't
throw
away
fresh
food.
(　　)14.
What
does
China
do
to
deal
with
food
waste?
A.
China
produces
less
food
each
year.
B.
China
buys
more
food
from
other
countries.
C.
China
passed
laws
to
ban
food
waste.
D.
China
started
a
movement
called
“empty
plate”．
(　　)15.
What
does
the
passage
mainly
talk
about?
A.
How
much
food
the
world
needs
every
year.
B.
How
food
waste
differs
in
different
countries.
C.
Developed
countries
waste
more
food.
D.
“Empty

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Last
night,
a
school
night,
my
11?year?old
son's
baseball
team
played
a
game
that
lasted
until
9：30.
By
the
time
we
got
home
and
he
had
a
quick
dinner
and
shower,
it
was
10：30—an
hour
and
a
half
later
than
a
child
who
gets
up
at
6：30
should
be
going
to
bed.
We
love
baseball.
My
son
is
having
fun,
getting
exercise,
and
learning
patience,
teamwork
and
sports
spirit.
But
the
truth
is
that
the
game
also
influences
his
sleep.
As
parents,
we
want
good
things
for
our
children.
We
want
them
to
be
healthy
both
in
body
and
in
mind.
To
this
end,
we
look
for
ways
to
help
our
kids
grow
and
develop.
We
help
them
with
their
homework.
We
sign
them
up
for
dance,
soccer
and
baseball.
We
encourage
our
kids
to
take
honors
courses(培优课程)or
to
have
after?school
jobs.
And
we
praise
them
for
hard?earned
success
and
achievements.
However,
it
is
very
ironic
because
all
of
these
activities
that
we
are
giving
our
children
could
be
badly
influencing
their
health
and
taking
happiness
away.
Activities,
responsibilities,
and
goals
are
good.
But
if
we
want
our
kids
to
realize
their
full
physical,
learning
and
social
ability,
sleep
is
important.
We
have
to
start
taking
sleep
seriously.
Parents
make
bedtime
routines
and
carry
out
strict
rules
about
nighttime.
But
in
fact,
these
measures(措施)aren't
enough.
It
actually
requires
more
than
that.
In
order
to
ensure
our
kids
get
the
sleep
they
need,
both
parents
and
schools
should
make
an
effort.
(　　)1.
From
the
passage,
what
can
we
know
about
the
writer's
son?
A.
He
isn't
good
at
sports.
B.
He
wastes
time
every
night.
C.
He
can't
get
enough
sleep.

He
always
plays
with
friends.

can
we
make

kids
get
enough
sleep
according

By
making
the

colorful.
B.
By

This
is
the
story
of
a
man
who
works
in
a
big
factory.
I
have
seen
him
for
years,
but
I've
never
paid
any
attention
to
him.
He
didn't
appear
a
normal
person.
He
always
wore
an
old
red
hat
and
carried
a
rubbish
bag.
He
usually
spent
his
break
time
and
his
lunchtime
walking
around
in
that
big
old
factory
and
collecting
used
tins
(铝罐)．
One
day,
I
was
fixing
one
of
the
broken
machines
in
the
factory
when
this
“tin
man”
came
with
his
bag.
As
usual,
he
picked
up
the
tins,
which
were
all
over
the
place.
My
manager
was
standing
there,
watching
me.
When
I
finished
my
job,
I
heard
my
manager
ask
the
“tin
man”
about
what
he
was
going
to
do
with
those
tins
he
had
collected.
I
never
even
thought
about
this
kind
of
question,
because
I
always
assumed
that
“tin
man”
would
take
those
tins
to
the
recycling
center.
Unexpectedly,
the
“tin
man”
answered,
“I
will
give
these
tins
to
my
neighbor.
He
has
epilepsy
(癫痫)
and
cannot
work.”
I
was
shocked
to
hear
that,
so
I
asked
him,
“You
mean
you
collect
all
those
tins
just
to
help
your
neighbor？”
“I
know
this
does
not
help
much，”
he
said.
“But
I
give
everything
to
him,
because
he
cannot
work.
He
needs
help.”
It
was
the
most
beautiful
moment
of
my
life.
It
has
made
me
feel
humble
(谦卑的)
every
day
since
then.
(　　)6.

man”
and

Colleagues.
B.

D.
Classmates.
(　　)7.

man”

“tin
man”
going

D.
The
humblest
man
the
author
has
ever
met.
We
usually
assume
that
plants
always
stay
quiet
and
never
speak.
Grass
doesn't
cry
when
you
cut
it;
flowers
don't
scream
when
they're
picked.
But
this
view
of
the
world
couldn't
be
more
wrong.
Plants
talk
to
each
other
all
the
time.
Their
language
is
one
of
chemicals.
Over
the
years,
scientists
have
found
that
different
types
of
plants,
from
trees
to
tomatoes,
send
chemicals
into
the
air
to
help
neighboring
plants.
But
exactly
how
plants
receive
and
act
on
many
of
these
signals
(信号)
is
still
a
mystery.
Scientists
from
Kyoto
University
in
Japan
looked
at
tomato
plants
that
had
been
bitten
by
insects.
To
start
out,
they
grew
plants
in
two
plastic
bags
connected
by
a
tube

One
plant
had
been
bitten
by
insects.
The
other
was
not
bitten.
They
found
that
when
insects
bite
plant
leaves,
the
plants
don't
sit
quietly.
They
release
a
chemical
called
“hexvic”
into
the
air.
Humans
can't
detect
it,
but
these
chemicals
carry
an
odor
(气味)
that
neighboring
plants
can
detect.
This
way,
neighboring
plants
will
realize
the
danger
and
begin
to
release
more
“hexvic”
to
protect
themselves.
The
same
scientists
continued
their
experiment
by
placing
insects
on
the
plants
that
had
not
been
bitten.
The
plants
were
able
to
kill
nearly
50
percent
of
the
invaders,
much
more
than
their
neighbor.
It
was
surprising
that
the
plants
that
had
not
been
bitten
didn't
send
the
chemical
until
they
received
a
warning
message
from
their
neighbor,
the
scientists
said.
These
findings
could
be
used
to
help
farmers
with
pest
control.

What
can
we
know
from
the
first
two
paragraphs?
A.
Plants
don't
talk
to
each
other.
B.
People
see
the
world
in
an
incorrect
way.
C.
Plants
talk
to
each
other
by
sending
chemicals.
D.
Communication
among
plants
is
no
longer
a
mystery.
(　　)12.
How
did
the
tomato
plant
respond
when
bitten
by
insects?
A.
It
sent
out
a
chemical
to
warn
others.
B.
It
died
immediately
afterwards.
C.
It
stayed
quiet
without
doing
anything.
D.
It
wouldn't
be
hurt
again
by
the
same
insects.
(　　)13.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“invaders”
in
Paragraph
5
refer
to?
A.
Scientists.
B.
Insects.
C.
Hexvic.
D.
Tomato
plants.
(　　)14.
How
will
scientists
make
use
of
these
findings?
A.
They
will
kill
all
the
insects.
B.
They
will
learn
to

C.
They
will

is
TRUE
according
to
the
study?
A.
Tomato
plants
are
easily
bitten
by
insects.
B.
The

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
For
his
eleventh
birthday,
Lin
was
given
a
gift
that
would
shape
his
life.
On
that
day,
his
father
took
him
to
the
Children's
Activity
Centre
and
said
he
could
choose
any
course
that
interested
him.
There
was
just
one
requirement:
Lin
would
have
to
promise
to
study
it
for
at
least
one
year.
Lin's
eyes
moved
down
the
noticeboard
that
listed
all
the
courses
on
offer.
He
stopped
at
“Photography”.
He
liked
the
idea
of
taking
beautiful
pictures
but
the
notice
said
that
each
student
needed
their
own
camera.
Although
Lin's
family
weren't
poor,
they
weren't
rich
either,
and
a
camera
cost
a
lot
of
money.
He
continued
looking.
The
next
course
to
catch
his
eye
was
“Language
Art”.
He
didn't
even
know
what
that
meant.
His
father
explained
that
it
taught
people
how
to
make
public
speeches.
Lin,
a
shy
boy,
could
think
of
nothing
worse.
Then
he
saw
it.
“Cooking”
sounded
like
something
he'd
like
to
do.
It
was
inexpensive
and
convenient,
it
could
be
done
alone
and
it
was
also
creative.
Based
on
Lin's
hobby
history,
his
dad
had
doubts.
Lin
had
had
many
hobbies,
but
none
kept
his
interest
for
more
than
a
week
or
two.
However,
much
to
his
parents'
surprise,
Lin
kept
his
promise.
He
studied
cooking
at
the
Centre
every
Saturday,
and
practised
at
home,
making
delicious
meals
for
his
family.
Everyone
looked
forward
to
birthdays,
when
they
could
eat
his
cakes.
Lin
got
great
satisfaction
from
the
pleasure
his
food
brought
to
others.
The
months
turned
to
years
but
his
hobby
never
changed
again.
Now
Lin
is
an
adult
and
runs
a
successful
restaurant.
When
customers
say
they
enjoy
his
meal,
he
still
gets
the
same
pleasure
he
did
as
a
child,
and
remembers
the
special
gift
he
received
all
those
years
ago.
(　　)1.

He
had
no
interest
in
it.
C.
He
was

was
not
offered
that
term.
(　　)2.

“catch
his
eye”
mean?

excited.

his
attention.

see
clearly.

seemed
to
match
his
character.

was
forced
on
him
by
his
parents.

developed
slowly
over
many
months.

did
the
father
have
doubts
about
Lin's
choice
of
cooking?

Cooking
wasn't
very
convenient.

He
didn't
think
Lin
would
continue.

Cooking
wasn't
a
good
hobby
for
a
boy.
(　　)5.
What's
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.
A
Strict
Father
B.
A
Changeable
Boy
C.
The
Fun
of
Cooking
D.
The
Birthday
Gift
Many
people
want
to
buy
the
newest
thing,
the
fastest
car
and
the
most
expensive
watch
—
but
are
these
things
really
worth?
For
some
people,
these
things
give
them
status
(地位).
They're
cool
because
they
have
a
cool
car,
or
they're
better
at
the
newest
Xbox
game.
Lots
of
people
say
that
buying
new
things
makes
them
happy.
They
like
having
new,
pretty,
impressive
things.
The
problem
is
that
people
don't
stay
happy,
and
the
feeling
you
get
when
you
buy
something
new
disappears.
For
example,
there's
a
new
iPhone.
You
stop
liking
your
old
car.
Your
friend
have
Beats
in
a
different
color
and
they're
so
much
nicer!
Things
get
outdated,
and
someone
else
always
has
something
better.
So,
what
can
you
buy
and
stay
happy
with?
A
research
suggests
that
the
best
thing
to
spend
your
extra
(额外的)
money
on
is
doing
things
like
traveling,
learning
to
cook,
speaking
a
language,
skiing
or
surfing.
What
about
going
to
the
theater,
eating
at
a
Michelin
star
restaurant
or
climbing
a
mountain?
In
the
long
term,
people
are
happier
with
money
they
spend
on
activities
than
on
things.
You
don't
remember
what
shoes
you
wore,
but
you
remember
running
the
marathon!
When
you
do
new
things
or
things
you
enjoy,
you
get
life
experience
and
memories.
You
can
share
them
with
people.
Even
if
you
don't
enjoy
the
experience,
you
can
learn
something
and
often
a
little
while
later
you
see
the
good
sides
of
it.
At
least,
it's
a
story
to
tell—maybe
even
a
funny
one.
So
forget
about
designer
clothes
and
fancy
gadgets—a
new
skill
or
experience
lasts
longer!

Thousands
of
years
ago,
Britain
was
covered
by
thick
forests.
It
used
to
be
the
home
to
many
animals
which
no
longer
live
in
the
United
Kingdom.
There
were
wolves
and
bears,
many
different
kinds
of
deer
and
large
wild
cows.
There
were
less
than
four
million
people.
They
lived
in
small
villages
protected
by
wooden
walls
from
the
animals
outside.
All
this
has
changed.
Now
the
population
of
the
United
Kingdom
has
increased
to
sixty?five
million.
Three?quarters
of
Britain
is
covered
with
fields,
towns
or
cities.
Although
25
percent
of
land
is
countryside,
new
methods
of
farming
mean
that
there
are
fewer
birds
and
small
animals
living
in
fields
than
ever
before.
The
United
Kingdom
is
one
of
the
few
countries
in
the
world
that
does
not
have
a
large
wild
animal
that
eats
meat.
In
Scotland
there
are
only
400
wildcats,
but
these
are
much
smaller
than
wolves.
However,
some
people
would
like
to
change
things.
Some
organizations
and
writers
say
that
Britain
needs
to
become
more
natural
again.
They
suggest
that
trees
and
plants
that
grew
in
the
UK
before
towns
and
cities
were
built
should
be
allowed
to
grow
again.
They
even
say
that
large
wild
animals
should
be
helped
to
return
and
live
wild.
They
call
this
“rewilding”．
Not
everyone
agrees.
In
the
last
twenty
years,
over
one
million
trees
which
at
first
grew
in
Scotland
have
been
planted
and
there
are
plans
for
more—but
wild
animals?
Some
people
ask
if
wolves
will
attack
sheep
or
even
humans.
They
are
also
angry
that
rewilding
might
mean
an
end
to
walking
in
the
hills
which
so
many
people
enjoy.
So
far
there
are
no
wolves
or
bears
in
Britain's
forests—but
soon
there
might
be!

people
use

are
more
large
