Dolphins are very social animals, and they are 1 (friend) with humans as well as their own kind. Dolphins are much 2 (clever) than we thought. Scientists have 3 (recent) discovered that the bottle-nosed dolphins can recognize themselves in the mirror.
Presley and Deb are two male dolphins that stay 4 a pool with mirror walls in the Aquarium. Researchers noticed the two dolphins didn’t seem to think that they were looking at the other dolphin when they 5 (see) themselves in the mirror.
This made the researchers think. Perhaps the dolphins recognized (认出) 6 (they) own images. So they decided 7 (find) it out. Using black ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their 8 (body) were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual.
Now doesn’t it sound familiar? Maybe the dolphins were wondering, “Where did that mark come 9 ? I wonder how long it’s going to stay.”
The scientists did the same test on other animals. 10 until now, only dolphins and great apes (类人猿) can recognize their images in the mirror, much like you and me!

The hotel we are staying in is cheap, but very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai.We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The villagers here love the quiet life with no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “Hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year. This afternoon, we will go to Chiang Mai Airport and go back home.

①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”!
②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help—“I'm being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice.
③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can't hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.
④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these.
⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves.
1.Trees can “talk” in different ways. How many ways does the passage show?

C.Some trees may take in water from others.
D.Scientists may build up a wall in the forest.
5.What is the structure of the passage?

1.“他们发现了一只孤单的小狗”这只小狗前面从未出现过,lonely是辅音音节开头,所以用不定代词a。
2.根据上一句的主语they,所以这里也是第三人称视角讲述故事,也用they,同样指代这对夫妇。
3.make oneself at home: 使某人就像在自己家一样。这里是说Little Sheep这只小狗很快就适应了这个环境。
4.with作为介词时。有“携带,带有”的含义。这里指Rain先生已经有25年的心脏病史了
5.根据上一句always had no problem“一直没出过问题”和这一句的后面he took the wrong amount“吃药时用错量了”可知这里应该是转折关系,用But。
6.根据got out可知时态是过去时,所以选过去式fell(特殊变化)。
7.“跑到电话边”和“打电话”应该是两个连续的动作,有先后顺序,所以用and。
8.enough to do something:足以去做某事。 “Rain先生身体已经康复到可以回家了”
9.enough前面的形容词只能用原型。表示“足够……了”
10.根据now,可知时态是现在时,“称呼某人为……”这是一个长久的状态,今天叫他这个名字,明天也还是这么叫,所以用一般现在时。主语是we,第一人称复数,所以动词用原型。

①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”!
②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help—“I'm being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice.
③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can't hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.
④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲了树以不同的方式相互交流。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some trees use chemicals to talk”,第三段中“More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk”和第四段中“Most surprisingly of all, trees have an ‘Internet’ to give out and get information in a big forest”可知树可以通过化学物质、声音和“树联网”来“说话”,文章共展示了三种方式。故选C。

Trees are important to us. They help us a lot. Trees can help us keep the air cool and clean. And trees also provide us with many useful things. For example, we get fruits from trees, and our furniture is made of trees. However, people cut down a lot of trees and it causes a lot of environmental problems. Animals are losing their homes. Without trees, some places may get flooded easily because of the decrease of soil. We need to stop cutting down so many trees!
There are many things to do to protect the environment. As students, we can plant trees on Tree Planting Day. And we can also organize some activities to ask people to stop cutting down trees. Let's work hard together!
