C There are many small insects in the world,and ants are one of the most common ones.You can see them in gardens,forests,and even on the streets.Ants and plants have a helpful relationship:ants help plants,and plants help ants in retur. It's easy to understand this relationship.Many plants have special parts that make sweet liquid ()We call this sweet liquid "nectar"()Ants like nectar very much because it is sweet and gives them energy.So ants often come to plants to drink nectar,and when they do this,they help the plants spread their seeds(种子). Plants need to spread their seeds to grow in new places.Here's how ants help:some plants'seeds have small sticky parts.When ants walk on these plants to drink nectar,the seeds stick to the ants' bodies.Ants don't stay in one place-they walk around and carry the seeds to different places.Later, when the seeds fall off the ants'bodies,they may grow into new plants. Spreading seeds to new places is important for plants.Because new plants don't have to fight with the old plants for water,sun and space.But not all plants need ants'help.Some plants use wind or birds to spread their seeds.

D in-our-daily-lives,-we communicate in different kinds.of forms.These different ways of.. communicating are very important for connecting people and helping us share our ideas and feelings. One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication.When we talk to our friends,family, or teachers in person-like during school lunches or family dinners-we can see their facial expressions,body language,and hear the warm or excited tone (of their voices.This helps us understand not only the words they say but also their real emotions.For example,a big smile on someone's face usually means they are happy.When we're sharing exciting news with a friend over coffee,face-to-face communication makes the moment even more special and memorable. -Another-form-is-communication-through social-media.Platforms-like WeChat,QQ,or Douyin allow us to chat with people far away easily.We can share photos of our trips,short videos of pets,and interesting ideas without trouble.However,we can't see the real-time reactions (of the other person.For example,when we post a funny story on WeChat Moments,we have to wait for their comments,likes,or replies to know if they find it interesting. Phone calls are also popular.We can have a quick conversation when we are busy,such as on the way to school or between after-school classes.Unlike face-to-face communication,we can't see each other's expressions,but we can still feel the clear emotion through the tone of voice.For example,if a friend sounds worried on the phone,we can comfort them immediately with kind words. All in all,each form of communication has its own advantages()and disadvantages.We should choose the right one according to different situations in daily life. ()37.What is one of the most common forms of communication according to the passage? A.Through social media. B.Through phone calls. C.Face-to-face communication. D.By writing letter. ()38.What can we get from face-to-face communication? A.Only the words people say. B.Words and emotions of people chatting with us. : C.The other person's past experiences. D.The future plans of the speaker. ()39.What can we infer(推断)from the passage? A.Phone calls are not useful at present. B.Social media is the best way to communicate. C.We should only use face-to-face communication. D.We should choose right communication forms by situations. ()40.What is the structure of the passage? A. B 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项多余选项。 DIY means "do-it-yourself".When you do DIY,you make things yourself and you don't need to pay anyone to do it.For one thing,it's a wonderful time to enjoy yourself when you make something. 41.
