They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet (《绿色星球》), gives us a new look at plants. Released on J 1 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic (戏剧性的) ways that plants b 2 (behave). “The Green Planet reveals (揭示) the secret l 3 of plants in the same way The Blue Planet (《蓝色星球》) opened our eyes to the oceans,” editor Elle Hunt wrote in New Scientist. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race f 4 sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two p 5 of the sunlight filters (透过) through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are c 6 up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to hitch a ride (搭便车). Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery (光滑的) hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap (毒汁) to protect t 7 . Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. 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 h 8 Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. The Green Planet not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the plant world b 9 pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air (一口气) that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as c 10 as our houseplants. 【答案】 1．(J)anuary 2．(b)ehave 3．(l)ives 4．(f)or 5．(p)ercent 6．(c)aught 7．(t)hemselves 8．(h)ow 9．(b)ut 10．(c)arefully 【导语】本文主要讲植物之间互相竞争阳光，也能互相帮忙，给了人们一个看待植物新的视角。 1．句意：1月10日在哔哩哔哩发布，它揭示了植物奇妙且富有戏剧性的行为方式。根据首字母“J”以及常识可知，此处应填January，表示“一月”。故填(J)anuary。 2．句意：1月10日在哔哩哔哩上发布，它揭示了植物的奇妙且富有戏剧性的行为方式。根据首字母“b”及语境可知，空处作从句的谓语，先行词是复数名词“ways”，behave“行为”符合语境。故填(b)ehave。 3．句意：《绿色星球》揭示了植物的秘密生命，就像《蓝色星球》让我们看到了海洋一样。根据语境及首字母“l”，这里应填life，表示“生活，生命”，此处表示泛指，名词应用复数形式，故填(l)ives。 4．句意：在热带雨林中，不同种类的植物在争夺阳光。race for...为固定短语，意为 “为…… 而竞争”，根据首字母“f”及语境，此处表示“为了阳光而互相竞争”，应用介词for，故填(f)or。 5．句意：森林地表被描述为“战场”，因为只有2%的阳光可以透过它。根据首字母“p”及“of the sunlight”可知，这里表示“百分比”，percent意为“百分之……”，符合语境。故填(p)ercent。 6．句意：但它们被试图搭车的藤蔓缠住了。be caught up in...为固定短语，意为“被卷入，被缠住”，根据首字母“c”及语境可知，这里应填caught，catch的过去分词形式，符合语境。故填(c)aught。 7．句意：同样，一些树制造毒汁来保护它们自己。根据语境，树制造毒汁是为了保护自身，结合首字母“t”，这里应填themselves，反身代词“它们自己”符合语境。故填(t)hemselves。 8．句意：这有点像Wi-Fi 的工作方式。根据语境及首字母“h”可知，这里需要一个表示方式的词，how意为“如何，怎样”，引导宾语从句，说明像Wi-Fi工作的方式。故填(h)ow。 9．句意：《绿色星球》不仅让我们对植物世界惊叹，而且促使我们明白植物很重要。not only...but (also)...为固定短语，意为“不仅……而且……”，根据首字母“b”及语境可知，这里应填 but符合语境。故填(b)ut。 10．句意：是时候像精心照料我们的室内植物一样精心照料野生植物了。根据语境及首字母“c”，这里需要一个副词修饰“look after”，carefully意为“仔细地，精心地”，符合语境。故填(c)arefully。 2025年江苏省淮安市金湖县中考一模英语试题 Chinese celebrated the Spring Festival just two months ago.

A new study suggests that cats can learn to connect spoken words with pictures. Researchers from Azabu University in Japan, led by Saho Takagi, did an experiment (实验) with 31 cats. They played recordings of the cats’ owners words l 2 “parumo” or “keraru”. While listening, the cats saw pictures on a screen, such as a red sun or a w 3 horse. The pictures became bigger and smaller to k 4 the cats interested. After showing the same word-picture pairs several times, the cats became b 5 and went away. In the next part of the study, the researchers showed one of the pictures to the cats again. But for half of the cats, they changed the word that match the picture. The cats that heard the “wrong” word looked at the picture for a longer time. This showed that they were confused (困惑的) b 6 they didn’t hear the word they used to hear. Some cats’ eyes got bigger as they looked at the screen. That was another sign that they were confused by what they saw and heard.

This is f 8 than how human babies learn in similar experiments. This study is part of more research about cats’ ability to understand l 9 . Before, studies found that cats can recognize (识别) their own names, and also the names of the people and other cats in their “family.” Takagi said, “Cats listen to what we say in our d 10 life and try to understand us more than we think.” 2025年江苏省南通市海安市13校中考一模英语试题 Wang Yaping is one of China’s famous astronauts.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet (《绿色星球》), gives us a new look at plants. Released on J 1 10th on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic (戏剧性的) ways that plants b 2 (behave). “The Green Planet reveals (揭示) the secret l 3 of plants in the same way The Blue Planet (《蓝色星球》) opened our eyes to the oceans,” editor Elle Hunt wrote in New Scientist. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race f 4 sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two p 5 of the sunlight filters (透过) through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are c 6 up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to hitch a ride (搭便车). Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery (光滑的) hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap (毒汁) to protect t 7 . Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. 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 h 8 Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. The Green Planet not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the plant world b 9 pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air (一口气) that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as c 10 as our houseplants. 2025年江苏省淮安市金湖县中考一模英语试题 Chinese celebrated the Spring Festival just two months ago.
