Isn’t it very cold and very far away?” I was asked these same questions over and over again when I told my friends about my plan to travel to the southernmost continent. To be honest, I, l 8 many other travelers, just wanted to cross this pure-white wonderland off my bucket list (人生愿望清单). The trip, however, turned out to be a great lesson about the Antarctic environment. On my way back, I couldn’t help asking myself, “How have I affected the Antarctic environment? Should I have even traveled to the continent?” Any type of travel comes with an environmental cost. My guide told me that of all means of transport, ships had some of the largest carbon footprints. That means they produce lots of greenhouse gases. In addition, the noise of ships p 9 through the ocean can cause serious harm to sea life. When we travel from one place to another, we spread seeds a 10 bacteria (细菌) through our clothing, bodies and luggage. For Antarctica, these non-native seeds and bacteria can be very damaging. Tour operators try to prevent this problem by providing travelers with special boots. Travelers must wear them whenever they leave their ships. Their outerwear must also be cleaned b 11 it can be worn for landing. However, when they get hot while hiking, travelers may take off their outerwear and the clothes they wear underneath are not usually required to be cleaned. The increase in tourism in Antarctica may also bring about some unknown risks. For example, since there is no native human population in Antarctica, the l 12 animals are not used to sharing their homes with us. We may not be able to n 13 any problems now, but when we begin to see changes, it may already be too late. It was truly wonderful to see the b 14 of Antarctica with my own eyes.

But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”. Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to r 29 tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard sharp clicking noises (咔哒声) . As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity. Plants h 30 clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil (土壤) got drier, they began to click. When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to f 31 . The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects a 32 a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbours. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective way for plants to p 33 themselves. Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. If the plant isn’t h 34 , they will avoid it. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry i 35 .

Many e-book readers also have a dictionary for you to look up new words quickly! However, you can only get e-books online. And you must read e-books on an e-book reader, a computer, or a smartphone.

In our daily life, if we get used to some thoughts or bad habits and never manage to “untie” them, we will never make any progress. 03 Amy used to be shy and afraid of trying new things.

Isn’t it very cold and very far away?” I was asked these same questions over and over again when I told my friends about my plan to travel to the southernmost continent. To be honest, I, l 8 many other travelers, just wanted to cross this pure-white wonderland off my bucket list (人生愿望清单). The trip, however, turned out to be a great lesson about the Antarctic environment. On my way back, I couldn’t help asking myself, “How have I affected the Antarctic environment? Should I have even traveled to the continent?” Any type of travel comes with an environmental cost. My guide told me that of all means of transport, ships had some of the largest carbon footprints. That means they produce lots of greenhouse gases. In addition, the noise of ships p 9 through the ocean can cause serious harm to sea life. When we travel from one place to another, we spread seeds a 10 bacteria (细菌) through our clothing, bodies and luggage. For Antarctica, these non-native seeds and bacteria can be very damaging. Tour operators try to prevent this problem by providing travelers with special boots. Travelers must wear them whenever they leave their ships. Their outerwear must also be cleaned b 11 it can be worn for landing. However, when they get hot while hiking, travelers may take off their outerwear and the clothes they wear underneath are not usually required to be cleaned. The increase in tourism in Antarctica may also bring about some unknown risks. For example, since there is no native human population in Antarctica, the l 12 animals are not used to sharing their homes with us. We may not be able to n 13 any problems now, but when we begin to see changes, it may already be too late. It was truly wonderful to see the b 14 of Antarctica with my own eyes. However, my trip did harm the Antarctic environment and wildlife. Before you decide to land on the continent, please think twice about the true “cost” of your trip. 三、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Apps to excite your inner artist Staying at home without teachers and classmates, you probably will play with your smart phone to get through the long days.

But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”. Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to r 29 tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard sharp clicking noises (咔哒声) . As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity. Plants h 30 clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil (土壤) got drier, they began to click. When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to f 31 . The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects a 32 a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbours. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective way for plants to p 33 themselves. Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. If the plant isn’t h 34 , they will avoid it. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry i 35 . The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”       01 （2024·江苏南通·中考真题）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整的、正确的形式，使短文通顺。 The world is changing very fast.
