三、首字母填空
Do you believe a rose plant says “I want some water.” or a tree shouts “My arms hurt.”? Maybe you will say this could only h 1 in some children’s stories. In fact, plants are not always s 2 . A recent study has found plants shout when they are in need of water or having their stems cut. “Even in a quiet field, there are actually some sounds that carry information. H 3 , the pitch (音高) is too high for people to hear,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from Tel Aviv University.
The researchers used microphones to r 4 some tomato plants and found that stressed plants send out m 5 sounds than unstressed plants. “ When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Professor Hadany said. They also trained a machine in telling the differences b 6 unstressed plants, thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that when the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After the team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants l 7 corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds too when they are under stress.
“There is a possibility that a lot of communication is happening,” Professor Hadany said. “Because other plants can probably h 8 the call of the stressed plants.”
Sound recordings of plants could b 9 humans lots of advantages, especially in farming. For example, people will make s 10 whether corn is getting enough water or where water is needed most without much difficulty.

四、阅读理解
No one can change the weather. Nobody can control (控制) the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather report.
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather reports. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. The fact that many people feel their joints (关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather reports.
