In fact, it’s not a job for people like zookeeper. It is a job for a special kind of forest—mangrove forest. In China, we call it hongshulin or “red forest”. Let’s go into a mangrove forest to have a look. They grow near the sea. They can grow up to 10 meters. They keep the land from the sea. This way, they protect the land from strong winds and waves. The trees stand tidy team, with shorter ones standing at the front and taller ones at the back. When typhoons (台风) come, they protect the towns nearby. Like other trees, mangrove trees take in CO2 to make oxygen (氧气). They are helping to keep the air clean and slow down weather change on Earth. Mangrove trees can grow up to 10 meters. Many wild birds live here. Many birds stop by for food during their trip. Are the trees red? No, mangrove trees don’t have red leaves or flowers. They are green. But they have special bark (树皮). Their bark can be used to make red dyes (染料). The bark gets air through small holes. The holes can close during high tide (涨潮). This way, the tree won’t die. Some parts of the roots (根) grow out of the water. They need more oxygen to live. They are also homes to snakes and lizards. The roots grow in salty water. They are not easy to get through. They make great homes for baby sea animals, like baby lobsters, baby turtles and baby fish. They can keep away from big animals. 26．What does the third paragraph tell us? A．How mangrove trees help the earth. B．Where mangrove trees always grow. C．What mangrove trees do during high tide. D．How mangrove forests make the air fresh. 27．How does the mangrove forest help us? a. It protects us from bad weather. b. It gives out oxygen. c. It gives food to migratory birds. d. It builds more houses. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 28．Why is the mangrove forest called “red forest”? A．Because the trees have red leaves and flowers. B．Because the trees live freely along the Red Sea. C．Because red dyes can be made from the bark of the trees. D．Because the trees’ roots are red when they meet the water. 29．What do we know about mangrove trees? A．They only get air through roots, they can keep the air clean. B．They are one of the oldest trees and can grow up to 10 meters. C．They may die during high tide because there are many large holes. D．They grow in salty water and are homes to some baby sea animals. B The Christmas party is over. People open the gifts. Now, it’s time for the Christmas tree to retire (退休). Every year, people around the world buy lots of trees for Christmas.  In 2023, people in America bought 20—30 million trees! But where do the trees go after the holiday? Many places around the world recycle (回收) the Christmas trees. For example, in Berlin, people take the toys off the trees and leave the trees on the streets. People will send the trees to the power stations (发电站). Every year, Berlin recycles about 350,000 trees. They can make electricity (电) for 500 families to use for a year.   In New York, people always send their trees to parks. There, people cut the trees into small pieces. The wood pieces are used in gardens to keep the plants warm. In some countries, people send many Christmas trees to zoos. Once a year, elephants in Austria get their favourite food. The trees taste sweet. The lives of Christmas trees are short, but they bring people so much happiness. 30．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Power stations. B．350,000 trees. C．Many countries. D．Christmas toys. 31．What will people do with Christmas trees in New York? A．Sell them to zoos. B．Make them into pieces. C．Send them to stations. D．Leave them on the streets. 32．What animals eat Christmas trees? A．Elephants in America. B．Elephants in Berlin. C．Elephants in New York. D．Elephants in Austria. 33．Why does the author write the passage? A．To ask people to recycle Christmas trees. B．To show the use of Christmas trees after the holiday. C．To tell people where to find Christmas trees. D．To stop people from buying Christmas trees. C Try to think about this: When you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato, suddenly the tomato starts to shout! It would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力). Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. They listened to three groups of plants: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎), and the third group was untouched. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN. Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵). When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. After the study, the scientists also listened to other plants such as wheat and corn (玉米). They made more sounds when stressed. Scientists said the study can help farmers better take care of the plants in the future by “hearing” how they feel. 34．How did the writer make readers interested in the passage in the beginning? A．By telling us a story about plants. B．By showing us interesting pictures. C．By telling us his ideas about the new study. D．By making us think of something amazing. 35．The scientists from Tel Aviv University find ________. A．plants always talk with each other B．plants often feel stressed in winter C．plants make sounds when stressed D．plants make more sounds when untouched 36．According to the study, which of the following shows the scientists’ ideas? A．Plants become stressed when animals lay eggs on them. B．Clever animals will pick out the best plants to use or eat. C．If plants get enough water, they will make more sounds. D．Farmers find a way to keep away from dangerous plants. 37．What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A．Plants can also “shout” B．Scientists listen to plants C．How to grow tasty plants D．Farmers take care of corn D Last year, Forest London’s volunteers offered more than 10,000 hours of service (服务) to our programmes.

It would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力). Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. They listened to three groups of plants: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎), and the third group was untouched. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN. Scientists believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵). When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat. After the study, the scientists also listened to other plants such as wheat and corn (玉米). They made more sounds when stressed. Scientists said the study can help farmers better take care of the plants in the future by “hearing” how they feel. 34．How did the writer make readers interested in the passage in the beginning? A．By telling us a story about plants. B．By showing us interesting pictures. C．By telling us his ideas about the new study. D．By making us think of something amazing. 35．The scientists from Tel Aviv University find ________. A．plants always talk with each other B．plants often feel stressed in winter C．plants make sounds when stressed D．plants make more sounds when untouched 36．According to the study, which of the following shows the scientists’ ideas? A．Plants become stressed when animals lay eggs on them. B．Clever animals will pick out the best plants to use or eat. C．If plants get enough water, they will make more sounds. D．Farmers find a way to keep away from dangerous plants. 37．What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A．Plants can also “shout” B．Scientists listen to plants C．How to grow tasty plants D．Farmers take care of corn 【答案】34．D 35．C 36．B 37．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项新的研究成果，即植物在受到压力时会发出声音。 34．推理判断题。根据“Try to think about this: When you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato, suddenly the tomato starts to shout!”可知，作者通过让我们想一些神奇的东西来吸引读者的阅读兴趣。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed (压力).”和“Scientists from Tel Aviv University did the study.”可知，特拉维夫大学的科学家们发现，植物在受到压力时会发出声音。故选C。 36．推理判断题。根据“For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on (产卵).
