C How does an organism like fungi)without a brain exhibit signs of intelligence?The answer lies in their complex network of mycelium(菌丝体)一long and thin threads that fungi use to grow.Most people only see the tiny mushrooms above the ground and don't kmow the extensive network that lies beneath. The researchers engaged in a curious experiment.They wanted to see how a mycelial network would respond to two different situations:woodblocks placed in a circle versus a cross amrangement.The question was simple-how would the fungi behave?In the cross arrangement, the further most four blocks were the most populated.The researchers believe this is because the fungi see these outer blocks as outposts(前哨站)，helping the mycelial network branch out into further areas.Hence,thick connections were noticed here.When it came to the circle arrangement,there was equal connection at all blocks,but the center remained untouched.The fungi did not see a benefit in extending its network into an area that already had plenty of company.These actions suggest that fungi communicate infermation across the entire 高二英语试卷第5页（共10页） mycelial network,adjusting their growth direction depending on their surrounding shape. Fungi exhibit remarkable efficiency when it comes to resource allocation,a skill essential for their survival and growth.This ability to optimize resources is a result of complex feedback mechanisms and environmental assessments conducted by the mycelial network.Researchers cleim that fingi prioritize areas with abundant resources,indicating an advanced understanding of their surroundings.In resource-rich zones,mycelium growth accelerates,capturing nutrients and storing them for future use.This practice not only ensures the fungi thrive in unstable emvironments but also highlights their ecological significance as decomposers (and mutrient recyclers. The unique problem-solving abilities and efficient networking strategies of fungi have inspired innovations in human technology.Scientists are exploring mycelial algorithms)to develop more efficient networks,such as urban planning and telecommunications systems.The fungi's extraordinary capacity to communicate and coordinate across their networks offers insights into creating sustainable systems.By imitating their resource allocation methods, researchers aim【o create solutions that enbance buman infrastructure(基础建设)leading to smarter and more adaptive frameworks. 28.What can we leam about fingi? A.They are an indicator of their ecological sumroundings. B They can make use of all available resources around them C.They display their unique ability to respond to the environment.

The historical art forms of different cultures continue to affect modem art.Many societies maintain their cultural identity by keeping their traditional art forms alive.These art forms are passed down through generations,often with little change,preserving the historical culture's essence.However,adaptation is the key aspect of cultural evolution.Artists often blend traditional styles with modem elements,creating a fusion()that reflects both the culture's historical roots and contemporary influences.
