Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing. As a teen, I sometimes struggled with making sense of the world around me. To teach me the right view of the world, he said, “All things are relative.” When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.” My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone to share the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum (格言) of “carpe diem” — seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest. My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”. 4. Why did the author’s father tell him “All things are relative”? A. To show his extensive knowledge. B. To encourage the author to be confident. C. To teach him the correct understanding of the world. D. To suggest the author overlook all difficulties in life. 5. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? A. Both responsibility and leading ability. B. Both bravery and strength. C. Good educational background. D. The approach to solving problems. 6. Why does the author’s father talk with him on the phone every day? A. To complain about his boring life. B. To know the author’s family joy. C. To urge the author to head off cycling. D. To ask the author to play tennis with him. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father? A. Generous and sensitive. B. Reserved and strict. C. Wise and patient. D. Enthusiastic and determined. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己的父亲及父亲对自己的教导和启发。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As a teen, I sometimes struggled with making sense of the world around me. To teach me the right view of the world, he said, “All things are relative.” (作为一个青少年，我有时很难理解周围的世界。为了教我正确的世界观，他说：“一切都是相对的。”)”可知，作者的父亲说“所有的事情都是相对的。”是为了教给作者正确的世界观。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.(我了解到，我需要的不仅是对团队负责，还要有领导能力)”可知，作者明白了作为经理他需要的不仅仅是对团队负责，还要有领导能力。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone to share the joys of my young family.(虽然我们住得很远，但我们每天都会打电话分享我年轻家庭的快乐)”可知，作者的父亲每天和他通电话的目的实际上是想了解作者家庭的快乐。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life.(他信任我，在我需要帮助的时候帮助我。他的耐心和智慧是我生命中真正的礼物)”可知，作者的父亲信任他，在他需要帮助的时候帮助他，他的耐心和智慧对作者来说都是宝贵的礼物，由此可推知，作者的父亲是明智并且很有耐心的。故选C项。 C In college, Spring Break is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Programme. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad. The Programme allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research. The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Programme aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society. In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Programme. Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Programme, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Programme. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.” The Programme began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States. 8. Who may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Programme? A. Students wanting to travel abroad. B. Students planning to collect data for their school papers. C. Students trying to make money for their families. D. Students wishing to do something productive and rewarding. 9 What is the aim of the Programme? A. To let students make friends with strangers. B. To broaden participants’ view of their majors. C.

Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Programme. (在大学里，春假通常与海滩、派对和不眠之夜联系在一起，能带来放松、闲暇时光和朋友的陪伴。然而，那些希望在假期里做一些有意义和有价值的事情的学生，可以选择参加“替代假期计划”。)”和全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了大学生可以在春假期间参加的“替代假期计划”这个项目。故选B。 D Scientists have found evidence that plants can actually hear the buzz of passing bees. And flowers are technically their ears. Based on observations of evening primroses (报春花), the team behind the new study discovered that within minutes of sensing the sound waves of nearby bee wings through flower petals (花瓣), the concentration of the sugar in the plant’s nectar (花蜜) was increased by 20 percent. The flowers even seemed able to tune out irrelevant background noises, such as the wind. This capability could well give some plants an evolutionary advantage, say the scientists, maximizing their chances of spreading pollen (花粉). Through experiments, the scientists discovered that plants can indeed pick up the vibrations (震动；共鸣) of sound waves, and that this might be part of the reason why many plants’ flowers are bowl shaped. Across several experiments involving more than 650 evening primrose flowers, nectar production was measured in response to silence, sound at three different frequency levels, and a recording of the buzzing noise made by bees. Sure enough, both the field recording of buzzing bees and the low-frequency sounds that closely matched the recording were enough to change the mix of the nectar in just three minutes. The silence and the high and mid frequency sounds had no effect. The team also tried the experiments with plants that had some flower petals removed. No change in nectar production was noted, indicating that it is indeed the flowers that have the job of the ears. These lab tests were backed up by observations the team made in the wild. “Plants have plenty of interactions with animals, and animals both make and hear noises,” one of the team, Lilach Hadany, told Ed Yong at The Atlantic. As yet the work hasn’t been peer-reviewed, and it’s not clear precisely how the shaking is being interpreted and transformed into a signal for sweeter nectar production, but it’s an interesting first step into the study of how plants react to sounds around them. 12. What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Find out. B. Block out. C. Check out. D. Pick out. 13. Why are many flowers bowl shaped? A. To sense sound waves. B. To absorb more sunlight. C. To protect themselves against wind. D. To attract certain insects. 14. What did removing flower petals imply? A. Petals are key to sensing sound waves. B. Plants don’t react to high frequency sound. C. Plants still produce nectar without petals. D. Petals are not necessary for nectar production. 15 What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The research is well backed up with lab tests. B. Animals hardly communicate with plants. C. Plants’ sound reaction mechanism is unclear. D. The research hadn’t carried its first step. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究证明，植物能够感受某些声波的振动，花蜜的糖分也因此会有所增加。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Scientists have found evidence that plants can actually hear the buzz of passing bees. And flowers are technically their ears.(科学家们已经发现，植物实际上能够听到飞过的蜜蜂发出的嗡嗡声，而花朵在本质上就是这些蜜蜂的“耳朵”。)”和第二段划线词所在句“The flowers even seemed able to tune out irrelevant background noises, such as the wind.(这些花朵甚至似乎能够tune out无关紧要的背景噪音，比如风声。)”可知，花朵应该是可以屏蔽掉那些不相干的背景噪音，听到蜜蜂飞过的声音，故tune out表示“挡住、屏蔽”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Through experiments, the scientists discovered that plants can indeed pick up the vibrations (震动；共鸣) of sound waves, and that this might be part of the reason why many plants’ flowers are bowl shaped.(通过实验，科学家们发现植物确实能够感知声音波的震动。而且，这可能是许多植物花朵呈碗状形状的部分原因。)”可知，许多花朵呈碗状是为了感知声音波的震动。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The team also tried the experiments with plants that had some flower petals removed. No change in nectar production was noted, indicating that it is indeed the flowers that have the job of the ears.(该团队还对去掉了一些花瓣的植物进行了实验，结果并未发现花蜜产量有任何变化，这表明确实是由花朵承担了“耳朵”的职责。)”可知，去掉花瓣进行实验结果表明花朵是感知声波的关键器官。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As yet the work hasn’t been peer-reviewed, and it’s not clear precisely how the shaking is being interpreted and transformed into a signal for sweeter nectar production, but it’s an interesting first step into the study of how plants react to sounds around them.(目前这项研究尚未经过同行评审，也不清楚这种震动究竟是如何被解读并转化为促使花蜜更甜的信号的，但这是对植物如何对周围声音作出反应这一研究的有趣开端。)”可知，植物的声音反应的机制尚不清楚。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching (派遣) humans to Mars. ____16____ First, a round trip to Mars causes many extra health risks. ____17____ For another, it allows fluid (液体) to build up in the head. This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help. ____18____ The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts. Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. ____19____ A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts. Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). ____20____ As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets. A. It is exciting to explore space. B. Then there’s space radiation to worry about. C. However, it is difficult to survive this adventure. D. Astronauts will bring back specimens of rock from Mars. E. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. F. And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. G. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类探索火星所面临的挑战和困难。文章从多个角度分析了人类登陆火星的可能性和难点，包括健康风险、空间辐射、生存条件的建立以及保护火星环境等方面。 【16题详解】 由上文“That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching (派遣) humans to Mars.(这就是为什么某些国家对派遣人类前往火星感兴趣)”及下文所阐述的多个关于人类前往火星的困难与挑战可知，此处需要一个句子来引出下文这些困难，表明虽然前往火星令人兴奋，但生存下来并非易事。C项“However, it is difficult to survive this adventure.(然而，在这场冒险中生存下来是困难的)”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用。故选C项。 【17题详解】 由上文“First, a round trip to Mars causes many extra health risks.(首先，往返火星的旅行会带来许多额外的健康风险)”可知，此处开始具体阐述健康风险。G项“For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles.(一方面，长时间在微重力环境下漂浮会削弱骨骼和肌肉)”具体说明了其中一种健康风险，与上文紧密相连，且“For one thing”与下文“For another”相呼应，形成了清晰的并列结构。故选G项。 【18题详解】 为主题句；由下文“The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems.(地球的磁场保护地球附近的宇航员免受高能宇宙射线的伤害。这些宇宙射线可能会增加患癌症和其他健康问题的风险)”可知，此处提到了宇宙射线对宇航员的潜在危害，这是关于空间辐射的内容。B项“Then there’s space radiation to worry about.(然后还有空间辐射需要担心)”直接引出了下文关于空间辐射的讨论，符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars.(在火星殖民地建立并生存下来将面临众多挑战。由于宇航员无法从地球携带建筑材料，科学家们正在想方设法让宇航员利用火星上的材料)”可知，此处提到了在火星生存面临的挑战之一是建筑材料的问题，而接下来可能会继续阐述其他生存必需品的问题。E项“Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe.(长期访问者还需要大量氧气来呼吸)”指出了长期在火星生存所需的另一个重要条件——氧气，与上文紧密相连，且符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 由上文“Humans are filled with microbes (微生物).(人类体内充满了微生物)”及下文“As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets.(因此，负责任的太空探索的一个关键部分是确保地球细菌不会感染其他行星)”可知，此处提到了人类体内的微生物以及太空探索中需要防止地球细菌感染其他行星的责任。F项“And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars.(传播这些微生物可能对火星生命搜索不利)”解释了为什么需要防止微生物传播，即它们可能对火星生命搜索产生负面影响，与上下文紧密相连，且符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding?

The leaves on the trees turned into a mix of gold and red, and the air carried the sweet smell of ripe apples. It was the time when the annual Harvest Festival took place, a tradition that brought the community together to celebrate the reward of the season. This year, the festival was more significant than ever. It marked the 100th anniversary, and the whole town was buzzing with excitement. Preparations were underway for weeks, with local businesses and residents decorating the streets and setting up stalls for the grand event. Among them was the Johnson family, who had been running the town’s oldest apple orchard (果园) for generations. Emma Johnson, a high school senior, was particularly excited about the festival. She had volunteered to help her family set up their apple-themed stall, where they would sell freshly baked apple pies, apple cider, and other foods. Emma had always been passionate about her family’s orchard and the festival that showcased their hard work. On the morning of the festival, the town square was a sea of activity. Families and friends gathered, laughter and music filled the air, and the delicious smell of various foods wafted (飘荡) through the autumn wind. Emma was busy at the Johnson family stall, serving customers and sharing stories about the history of their orchard. As the day progressed, a friendly competition caught everyone’s attention. The town’s mayor(镇长) announced a new event for the centennial (百年纪念) celebration: a pie-baking contest. The winner would not only receive a cash prize but also the honour of having their pie featured at next year’s festival. Emma’s eyes sparkled (闪烁) with determination as she decided to enter the contest, hoping to bring pride to her family and the town. “I need my family recipe,” Emma thought, her heart racing. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She ran to her grandmother’s kitchen, where the old cookbooks were kept. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the judges took the first bite they seemed to really enjoy it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: She ran to her grandmother’s kitchen, where the old cookbooks were kept. Her hands flew through the pages until she found it — the secret family recipe. With a quick nod to her grandmother, she mixed together the ingredients, her movements a dance of practised skill. The apples were carefully chosen, the spices measured to perfection. As she placed the pie in the oven, the scent of the mixed ingredients filled the air, promising a taste of autumn’s finest. At the contest, the judges walked over to Emma’s pie, looking serious. When the judges took the first bite, they seemed to really enjoy it. The pie was just right, not too hard or soft, and the apples in it tasted both sweet and a little bit sour. Everyone got quiet as they waited for the judges to say who won. They announced, “Emma Johnson, for her ‘Legacy of the Orchard pie’.” People clapped and cheered, and Emma’s face lit up with pride and joy, knowing she had not only won the contest but also secured a place in Willow Creek’s history. The town celebrated her victory as a symbol of their shared heritage, and Emma knew that this day would be remembered for generations to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了威洛克里克小镇镇长为庆祝成立100周年纪念日举行馅饼烘焙比赛，获胜者给予奖品。艾玛在奶奶的帮助下获胜的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她跑向奶奶的厨房，那里存放着那些古老的烹饪书籍。”可知，第一段可描写想艾玛在奶奶的帮助下做成了美味的馅饼。然后拿去参赛给评委品尝。 ②由第二段首句内容“当评委们品尝了第一口之后，他们似乎真的非常喜欢这道甜点。”可知，第二段可描写艾玛的馅饼得到评委的认可最终获胜。然后引出主题：艾玛为这个重要的历史时刻增添了色彩。 2. 续写线索：找到书籍——做馅饼——烘焙——参赛——获胜——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①选择：choose/select ②放置：put/place ③鼓掌：applaud/clap 情绪类 ①洋溢着自豪和喜悦：light up with pride and joy/overflow with pride and joy ②严肃：look serious/wear a serious look 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her hands flew through the pages until she found it — the secret family recipe.

From there, they make a list of favourites, cutting it down from 60 to 40and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. It’s a long process where emotions run high. Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of this year, along with quotes from the editors. King: A Life by Jonathan Eig “Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. This is biography(传记) at its absolute finest.” —Al Woodworth Weyward by Emilia Hart “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one another, tell their attractive stories of ill treatment, danger, and adaptability in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” —Seira Wilson Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Ann Napolitano creates a touching story that centres on the Padavano sisters, who are close to each other—until they aren’t. Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of this year So Far.” —Al Woodworth Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond “In 200 powerful and critical pages, Matthew Desmond lays out a clear explanation of inequality that will make you rage(发怒), give in, and feel shame. This book may not be the easiest read, but it’s one of the most important ones.” —Lindsay Powers 1. What can we know about King: A Life? A. It is an outstanding biography about a famous hero. B. It mainly talks about Martin Luther King Jr.’s writing skills. C. It tells the hardships and heroics of the author. D. It is about three women’s attractive stories of ill treatment. 2. Which book criticizes the inequality in the US in 200 pages? A. King: A Life B. Weyward C. Hello Beautiful D. Poverty, by America 3. In which section of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Literature. D. Culture. B My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing. As a teen, I sometimes struggled with making sense of the world around me. To teach me the right view of the world, he said, “All things are relative.” When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.” My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone to share the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum (格言) of “carpe diem” — seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest. My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”. 4. Why did the author’s father tell him “All things are relative”? A. To show his extensive knowledge. B. To encourage the author to be confident. C. To teach him the correct understanding of the world. D. To suggest the author overlook all difficulties in life. 5. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? A. Both responsibility and leading ability. B. Both bravery and strength. C. Good educational background. D. The approach to solving problems. 6. Why does the author’s father talk with him on the phone every day? A. To complain about his boring life. B. To know the author’s family joy. C. To urge the author to head off cycling. D. To ask the author to play tennis with him. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father? A. Generous and sensitive. B. Reserved and strict. C. Wise and patient. D. Enthusiastic and determined. C In college, Spring Break is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Programme. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad. The Programme allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research. The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Programme aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society. In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Programme. Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Programme, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Programme. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.” The Programme began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States. 8. Who may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Programme? A. Students wanting to travel abroad. B. Students planning to collect data for their school papers. C. Students trying to make money for their families. D. Students wishing to do something productive and rewarding. 9. What is the aim of the Programme? A. To let students make friends with strangers. B. To broaden participants’ view of their majors. C. To make participants learn how to get scholarship. D. To inspire students to be active and influence society. 10. What is Samantha’s attitude towards the Programme? A. Critical. B. Favourable. C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the significance of spring break. B. To introduce a programme during Spring Break. C. To advertise an interesting organization. D. To call for students to volunteer in community. D Scientists have found evidence that plants can actually hear the buzz of passing bees. And flowers are technically their ears. Based on observations of evening primroses (报春花), the team behind the new study discovered that within minutes of sensing the sound waves of nearby bee wings through flower petals (花瓣), the concentration of the sugar in the plant’s nectar (花蜜) was increased by 20 percent. The flowers even seemed able to tune out irrelevant background noises, such as the wind. This capability could well give some plants an evolutionary advantage, say the scientists, maximizing their chances of spreading pollen (花粉). Through experiments, the scientists discovered that plants can indeed pick up the vibrations (震动；共鸣) of sound waves, and that this might be part of the reason why many plants’ flowers are bowl shaped. Across several experiments involving more than 650 evening primrose flowers, nectar production was measured in response to silence, sound at three different frequency levels, and a recording of the buzzing noise made by bees. Sure enough, both the field recording of buzzing bees and the low-frequency sounds that closely matched the recording were enough to change the mix of the nectar in just three minutes. The silence and the high and mid frequency sounds had no effect. The team also tried the experiments with plants that had some flower petals removed. No change in nectar production was noted, indicating that it is indeed the flowers that have the job of the ears. These lab tests were backed up by observations the team made in the wild. “Plants have plenty of interactions with animals, and animals both make and hear noises,” one of the team, Lilach Hadany, told Ed Yong at The Atlantic. As yet the work hasn’t been peer-reviewed, and it’s not clear precisely how the shaking is being interpreted and transformed into a signal for sweeter nectar production, but it’s an interesting first step into the study of how plants react to sounds around them. 12. What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Find out. B. Block out. C. Check out. D. Pick out. 13. Why are many flowers bowl shaped? A. To sense sound waves. B. To absorb more sunlight. C. To protect themselves against wind. D. To attract certain insects. 14. What did removing flower petals imply? A. Petals are key to sensing sound waves. B.

The leaves on the trees turned into a mix of gold and red, and the air carried the sweet smell of ripe apples. It was the time when the annual Harvest Festival took place, a tradition that brought the community together to celebrate the reward of the season. This year the festival was more significant than ever. It marked the 100th anniversary, and the whole town was buzzing with excitement. Preparations were underway for weeks, with local businesses and residents decorating the streets and setting up stalls for the grand event. Among them was the Johnson family, who had been running the town’s oldest apple orchard (果园) for generations. Emma Johnson, a high school senior, was particularly excited about the festival. She had volunteered to help her family set up their apple-themed stall, where they would sell freshly baked apple pies, apple cider, and other foods.

Families and friends gathered, laughter and music filled the air, and the delicious smell of various foods wafted (飘荡) through the autumn wind. Emma was busy at the Johnson family stall, serving customers and sharing stories about the history of their orchard. As the day progressed, a friendly competition caught everyone’s attention.

The winner would not only receive a cash prize but also the honour of having their pie featured at next year’s festival.
