B Chinese scientists have discovered four kinds of Gentiana(龙胆) on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, whose flowers can close within seconds after being touched, making them the most sensitive(敏感的) flowers in the world, according to a recently published study. “The flowers disappeared quickly in front of you,” said Dai Can, one of the scientists who led the study.Some people on Chinese social media said the flowers are the“shyest” in the world. The rapid movement of petals(花瓣) has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals, plants are usually static. Leaves of carnivorous(食肉的) plants can react to the touch. Before the Gentiana discoveries, the only known plant to display such behaviour was the sundew plant(茅膏菜). Its green leaves can curl up within 2 to 10minutes after being touched by a fly. It takes between 4 and 6 days for the leaf to digest(消化) the fly it catches. However, the four kinds of Gentiana take 7 to 210 seconds to close their petals, making them the most sensitive and fast-reacting flowers in the world, the study said. The flowers were discovered in 2020 near a lake in Nagqu, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Gentiana's flower could protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees, which have a large body, the study said. Another explanation could be that the plant encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen(传播花粉)among a wider range of flowers, since a closed flower would show them that it has already been visited and that the bees should look for another flower. Wang Qingfeng, a researcher at Wuhan Botanical Garden, said both should be examined further in future studies. 4.The underlined word“static” in the passage probably means“ ”. A. very beautiful B. not moving C. having a short life D. enjoyable 5.What can we infer from the passage? A. The plants living in Nagqu can react to the touch. B. The four kinds of Gentiana are endangered plants. C. The sundew plant is a kind of carnivorous plant. D. Bumblebees are harmful to the Gentiana's flower. 6.The last paragraph is mainly about . A. how the Gentiana's flower protects itself B. why the Gentiana's flower closes its petals C. how the Gentiana's flower encourages bumblebees D. what Wang Qingfeng thinks of the study 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Facts of four kinds of Gentiana B. Scientists discover the“shyest” flower in the world C. Flowers on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau D. Secret s of carnivorous plants C On February 12,2025, the China Manned Space Agency announced the official names of the spacesuit and lunar rover for China's manned lunar exploration mission. They are named“Wangyu” and“Tansuo. The name“Wangyu” means“gazing at the universe and exploring the unknown”. It shows the Chinese astronauts' mission to look into space and start new journeys on the moon. This name is connected to the“Feitian” spacesuit used for space station missions. It shows China's plan to move from working in space to landing on the moon. The name also shows China's peaceful use of space and its efforts to build a community with a shared future for humanity. The lunar rover is named“Tansuo”, which means“exploration”. This name shows the rover's job to help Chinese people explore the mysteries of the moon. The rover can be folded and is made up of different parts. It can carry two astronauts and move quickly over rough ground. It can also help with navigation, safety, communication and carrying things. It will help astronauts do scientific research and tests on the moon. The names were chosen from more than 9,000 entries in a public competition. They are full of Chinese culture and modern spirit. From“Chang’e” and“Yutu” to“Tianwen” and“Zhurong”, and now“Wangyu” and“Tansuo”, the names of China's spacecrafts always connect traditional culture with modern technology. They show China's spirit of exploration and innovation. Right now, the“Wangyu” spacesuit and the“Tansuo” lunar rover are in the early stages of development. China plans to send people to the moon before 2030. The mission will test key technologies like travelling between the Earth and the moon, staying on the moon for a short time and working together with robots. The astronauts will do many tasks like landing, exploring, collecting samples, researching and bringing things back to Earth. The names“Wangyu” and“Tansuo” mark a new step in China's space exploration. They are not only the results of China's space technology but also symbols of the Chinese people's spirit of exploring the universe. 8. What does the name“Wangyu” symbolize? A. The rover's ability to move quickly on the moon. B. The astronauts' mission to explore space and the moon. C. The connection between traditional culture and modern technology. D. The competition to name the spacesuit and rover. 9. What does the article suggest about China's space exploration? A. It focuses only on space station missions. B.
