In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. A new TV show gives us a new look at plants. It tells us the secret of plants and the wonderful ways that plants work.
Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants compete for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield”. Only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But other plants may catch them up and get a lift. Finally, they are both overtaken (被超过) by a fast-growing tree. Similarly, some trees may give out something to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The TV show not only makes us marvel at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” David, the director of the show said. “It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants (室内植物).”
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. We can learn from the passage that plants ________.
A. can’t talk with each other B. aren’t able to walk C. can help each other D. are in great danger
12. The writer develops Paragraph 2 by ________.
A. showing numbers B. giving examples C. raising questions D. making discussions
13. What does the underlined word “marvel” mean in Chinese?
A. 失意 B. 迷失 C. 惊叹 D. 重视
14. In the last paragraph, David probably agrees that ________.
A. plants are difficult to study B. houseplants also need our attention
C. plants play a big role in our lives D. many wild plants are in danger
15. The best title for the passage might be ________.
A An amazing plant world B. Make better shows on plants
C. Plant more trees D. Have a new look at the houseplants
