A Fun Plant Experiment to Try at Home!
Without water, plants would die. How does water get from the roots of a plant to the other parts of the plant? The water travels through “small pipes” to all parts of the plant. And here is a scientific experiment to show it.
What we need:
How we do it:
1. Put a few drops of the red food colour in the glass of water.
2. Cut the bottom of the celery stick and place the celery in the water.
3. Leave the celery stick in the glass of water for a few hours.
4. Take the celery stick out of water and cut it into pieces across the stern.
What happens:
You can see red food colour in all cross parts from the bottom of the celery stick right up to the leaves.
Why it happens:
The water, with the red food colour, has run in the celery stick through the small pipes in it. The experiment, therefore, shows that the small pipes in the plant allow water to reach all parts of it. The red food colour shows where the water has travelled in the celery stick.
30. Which shows the correct order of the experiment?
①
②
③
④
A. ①-③-②-④ B. ③-①-②-④
C. ①-③-④-② D. ③-①-④-②
31. According to the experiment, what can you see after cutting the celery stick into cross parts?
A. The inside of the celery stick has nothing.
B. The water in the celery stick is running.
C. The celery stick is bigger and taller.
D. All the cross parts are red.
32. What is the aim (目的) of the experiment?
A. To tell us plants would die without water.
B. To tell us the way water runs through a plant.
C. To show doing a science experiment on plants is easy.
D. To show how to make colorful leaves by coloring the water.
【答案】30. C 31. D 32. B
【解析】

Joao, 71, lives on an island near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He doesn’t need to work, but still works as a part-time fisherman. One day, about five years ago, when he was walking on the beach, he saw a little penguin with oil on its body. “If no one helps the bird wash away the oil, it may die.”Joao thought. So he took the bird home and bathed it. Joao gave the bird fish to eat, and called him “Din dim”. The penguin soon became strong and healthy. He was able to return to the water.
After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to free Din dim. But the penguin didn’t want to go. He stayed with Joao for another eight months, getting bigger and stronger. And Joao enjoyed being with his new friend. Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared. When Joao found this, he cried and couldn’t eat or sleep all day and all night. But, deep in his heart, he hoped that the bird returned to his penguin family successfully. Four months later, when Joao was walking home from the beach, suddenly he heard a “honking” sound—Din dim was back. Joao rushed to him, and Din dim’s bill touched Joao’s face, helping clean his tears.
Later, Din dim returns and stays on the island every year. Where does he go? In fact, he swims about 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims back to Joao. That’s about 5, 000 miles a year to be with the man who saved his life. Probably, the penguin thinks that Joao is part of his family.
33. Why did Joao bring Din dim home at first?
A. Because he hoped to save the poor animal.
B. Because his job was to take care of animals.
C. Because he wanted to make friends with Din dim.
D. Because he knew Din dim from his name long ago.
34. How might Joao feel when Din dim left for the first time?
A. Nervous and sad. B. Surprised and happy.
C. Sorry but angry. D. Heart-broken but hopeful.
35. Which is the right order according to the passage?
a. Joao cleaned the penguin and looked after him.
b. Joao lost the penguin for he suddenly left.
c. Joao took the penguin back into the water.
d. The penguin returned to Joao.
e. Joao found a sick penguin on the beach.
A. e-a-b-d-c B. e-a-c-b-d C. b-a-d-e-c D. b-a-d-c-e
36. Why does the penguin swim to Brazil every year?
A. Because he is Joao’s pet.
B. Because he needs more food.
C. Because he wants to visit his human family.
D. Because he wants to start a new penguin family.
【答案】33. A 34. D 35. B 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了一名巴西男子Joao和一只企鹅之间的感人故事。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘If no one helps the bird wash away the oil, it may die.’, Joao thought. So he took the bird home and bathed it.”可知Joao起初把企鹅Din dim带回家是为了救它。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据“When Joao found this, he cried and couldn’t eat or sleep all day and all night. But, deep in his heart, he hoped that the bird returned to his penguin family successfully.”可推知Din Dim第一次离开后Joao感觉到伤心,但是又希望它能够回归到企鹅家庭。故选D。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章内容“One day, about five years ago, when he was walking on the beach, he saw a little penguin with oil on its body…So he took the bird home and bathed it…After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to free Din dim…Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared…Four months later, when Joao was walking home from the beach, suddenly he heard a ‘honking’ sound—Din dim was back.”可知正确的顺序是:Joao在沙滩上发现了受伤的企鹅——Joao给企鹅清洗石油并且照顾它——Joao把企鹅带回海边——Joao因为企鹅突然离开而失去了它——企鹅回到了Joao的身边。即e-a-c-b-d。故选B。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据“In fact, he swims about 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims back to Joao…Probably, the penguin thinks that Joao is part of his family.”可推知企鹅每年都会游回巴西是因为它想看望它的人类家人。故选C。
(D)
Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
37. Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A. Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B. Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C. Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D. Let me give you some food and drinks!
38. Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A. Some plants can talk to people.
B. Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C. Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D. Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
39. What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A. Produce food with other plants.
B. Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C. Send food to or take food from other plants.
D. Connect the roots of different plants.
40. Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A. To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B. To help plants grow better.
C. To build a bigger web for plants.
D. To improve plants’ talking system.
【答案】37 A 38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了植物之间如何通过化学物质和声音进行交流,以及科学家如何研究这些交流方式以帮助植物更好地生长。

根据“These years, it’s slowly going down into the water. When high tides (潮汐) come, the water from the ocean comes into the city. It happens more often, so Venice is lower than it was in the past”可知,这些年来,威尼斯的水位正在慢慢下降。当潮汐来临时,海水就会涌入城市。这种情况发生得更频繁,所以威尼斯的水位比过去低了,此处具体介绍水带来的危险,选项A“这也正在摧毁城市里的古老建筑。”符合语境。故选A。
【45题详解】
根据“Luckily, engineers are working on a project to save Venice.”可知,幸运的是,工程师们正在开展一项拯救威尼斯的项目,横线上应是介绍措施,选项B“他们安装了 87 个大门来阻止水流入。”符合语境。故选B。

A Fun Plant Experiment to Try at Home!
Without water, plants would die. How does water get from the roots of a plant to the other parts of the plant? The water travels through “small pipes” to all parts of the plant. And here is a scientific experiment to show it.
What we need:
How we do it:
1. Put a few drops of the red food colour in the glass of water.
2. Cut the bottom of the celery stick and place the celery in the water.
3. Leave the celery stick in the glass of water for a few hours.
4. Take the celery stick out of water and cut it into pieces across the stern.
What happens:
You can see red food colour in all cross parts from the bottom of the celery stick right up to the leaves.
Why it happens:
The water, with the red food colour, has run in the celery stick through the small pipes in it. The experiment, therefore, shows that the small pipes in the plant allow water to reach all parts of it. The red food colour shows where the water has travelled in the celery stick.
30. Which shows the correct order of the experiment?
①
②
③
④
A. ①-③-②-④ B. ③-①-②-④
C. ①-③-④-② D. ③-①-④-②
31. According to the experiment, what can you see after cutting the celery stick into cross parts?
A. The inside of the celery stick has nothing.
B. The water in the celery stick is running.
C. The celery stick is bigger and taller.
D. All the cross parts are red.
32. What is the aim (目的) of the experiment?
A. To tell us plants would die without water.
B. To tell us the way water runs through a plant.
C. To show doing a science experiment on plants is easy.
D. To show how to make colorful leaves by coloring the water.
(C)
Joao, 71, lives on an island near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He doesn’t need to work, but still works as a part-time fisherman. One day, about five years ago, when he was walking on the beach, he saw a little penguin with oil on its body. “If no one helps the bird wash away the oil, it may die.”Joao thought. So he took the bird home and bathed it. Joao gave the bird fish to eat, and called him “Din dim”. The penguin soon became strong and healthy. He was able to return to the water.
After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to free Din dim. But the penguin didn’t want to go. He stayed with Joao for another eight months, getting bigger and stronger. And Joao enjoyed being with his new friend. Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared. When Joao found this, he cried and couldn’t eat or sleep all day and all night. But, deep in his heart, he hoped that the bird returned to his penguin family successfully. Four months later, when Joao was walking home from the beach, suddenly he heard a “honking” sound—Din dim was back. Joao rushed to him, and Din dim’s bill touched Joao’s face, helping clean his tears.
Later, Din dim returns and stays on the island every year. Where does he go? In fact, he swims about 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims back to Joao. That’s about 5, 000 miles a year to be with the man who saved his life. Probably, the penguin thinks that Joao is part of his family.
33. Why did Joao bring Din dim home at first?
A. Because he hoped to save the poor animal.
B. Because his job was to take care of animals.
C. Because he wanted to make friends with Din dim.
D. Because he knew Din dim from his name long ago.
34. How might Joao feel when Din dim left for the first time?
A. Nervous and sad. B. Surprised and happy.
C. Sorry but angry. D. Heart-broken but hopeful.
35. Which is the right order according to the passage?
a. Joao cleaned the penguin and looked after him.
b. Joao lost the penguin for he suddenly left.
c. Joao took the penguin back into the water.
d. The penguin returned to Joao.
e. Joao found a sick penguin on the beach.
A. e-a-b-d-c B. e-a-c-b-d C. b-a-d-e-c D. b-a-d-c-e
36. Why does the penguin swim to Brazil every year?
A. Because he is Joao’s pet.
B. Because he needs more food.
C. Because he wants to visit his human family.
D. Because he wants to start a new penguin family.
(D)
Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
37. Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A. Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B. Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C. Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D. Let me give you some food and drinks!
38. Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A. Some plants can talk to people.
B. Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C. Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D. Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
39. What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A. Produce food with other plants.
B. Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C. Send food to or take food from other plants.
D. Connect the roots of different plants.
40. Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A. To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B. To help plants grow better.
C. To build a bigger web for plants.
D. To improve plants’ talking system.
