live near grandparents.There were no cousins next door,no aunts or uncles
in the neighborhood to go to.So our parents told us never to go out.It was a
quiet summer holiday,just the two of us.
One day,we heard the soft and happy sound of an ice-cream truck from
the corner of the street.The sound of the ice-cream truck was so loud,so
close.I grabbed my brother,ran outside and waved the truck down.
The ice-cream truck stopped for us.We were very excited.We got what we asked for and ate quickly,
trying not to let the summer heat take it away from us.We licked (our fingers and hands.And we
laughed for no reason.
We didn't notice the ice-cream truck leaving.My brother looked over at me with sudden anxiety()
and said,“I forgot to pay.Did you?”“I forgot,too!”
We felt afraid and promised not to tell our parents about it.We spent the rest of the day watching
cartoons about small blue people who lived inside mushrooms.
I am forty-four years old now.A few weeks ago,I heard the same music of the ice-cream truck again.
It brought back sweet memories of my brother and me.I felt so happy and warm inside.I took some money
and ran after the sound until I found the truck.I paid with a twenty-dollar bill and told the driver to keep the

Plants might look like they are doing nothing,but in fact they are very busy.And what they're doing is
vey“smart'”.
九年级英语试卷第3页共8页
In the 1980s,two American scientists found that plants could"talk"to each other.They planted some
young trees in different pots and put all of them in a clear sealed (box.When they broke the leaves
of one young tree,it produced a chemical to protect itself.Then about 36 hours later,the other trees made
the same thing.This showed that the hurt tree had sent a message through the air to the others.
Since then,more studies have shown that plants"talk”in a very complex(复杂的)way.For example,
they can send different signals when they are hurt by different insects.Their messages
can even tell other plants how far away the danger is.
What's more,a 2014 Australian study used the mimosa (to prove that
plants can learn.This plant is known for curling its leaves when it's troubled.The
scientists put 50 pots of this plant on special shelves.They then dropped each plant 15
centimeters down on its shelf and repeated this 60 times.At first,the plants curled their
leaves,but they soon stopped.They learned that the drop wouldn't hurt them.
Plants don't have brains,
▲_?Well,plarits have a tube system that
can move water and nutrients (within them.When plants are influenced by their
environment,they produce certain chemicals.These chemicals move through the tube to send important
messages.Because of this,the plants change their responses to the environment.
23.What did the two US scientists find in the 1980s?
A.Plants can grow very fast in sealed boxes.
B.Plants can communicate with each other.
C.Plants can learn to avoid danger quickly.
D.Plants can produce chemicals to kill insects.
24.How does the writer describe the Australian study in Paragraph 4?
A.By telling stories.
B.By asking questions.
C.By listing numbers.
D.By explaining reasons
25.Which sentence is the best for"
A.so how do they learn
B.so what do they learn
C.so why do they learn
D.so when do they learn
26.What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?
A.To show the importance of protecting wild plants.
B.To describe the methods of growing healthy plants.
C.To explain the smart and amazing abilities of plants.
D.To introduce the way of plants producing chemicals.

Do you know the Great Barrier Reef?Located on the northeastern coast of Australia,it is the biggest
coral reef in the world.However,this natural wonder is now facing a serious problem.There have been too
many starfish on the reef and they like to eat coral.One can eat about 10m2 of coral a year-that is bigger
than the floor space of a bedroom.In a year,one can make more than 200 million eggs.Trying to move
away these starfish means lots of work.
Divers have been following boats and recording how many
starfish they spot.This is slow work and can take a long time.The
divers must know what the starfish look like very well and have good
spotting (skills.These starfish like to hide under things or in
small spaces.
Google and an Australian research organization have worked
together.They used lots of pictures and videos of the starfish to train a
machine learning model.This AI technology can look at videos,and
almost at the same time spot these starfish.Then the places where the starfish are can be put on a map.
Divers can stop too many starfish from being in one area.When a human can sometimes find only one
starfish,the model can spot 20!Other people around the world can even use this machine learning model to
spot starfish.It's such a great way to protect the environment!

Al is playing a big role in saving the Great Barrier Reef.With the machine learning model,people can
find the starfish much faster than before.This makes the work easier.Thanks to AI,we can protect this
beautiful natural wonder in a smarter way.
27.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

When I was ten and my brother eight, we were often left at home alone.Our parents worked long hours and couldn't afford a babysitter. We didn't live near grandparents. There were no cousins next door, no aunts or uncles in the neighborhood to go to. So our parents told us never to go out. It was a quiet summer holiday, just the two of us.
One day, we heard the soft and happy sound of an ice-cream truck from the corner of the street. The sound of the ice-cream truck was so loud, so close. I grabbed my brother, ran outside and waved the truck down.
The ice-cream truck stopped for us. We were very excited. We got what we asked for and ate quickly,trying not to let the summer heat take it away from us. We licked( 舔) our fingers and hands. And we laughed for no reason.
We didn't notice the ice-cream truck leaving. My brother looked over at me with sudden anxiety(焦虑)and said,“I forgot to pay. Did you?”“I forgot, too!”
We felt afraid and promised not to tell our parents about it. We spent the rest of the day watching cartoons about small blue people who lived inside mushrooms.
I am forty-four years old now. A few weeks ago, I heard the same music of the ice-cream truck again.It brought back sweet memories of my brother and me. I felt so happy and warm inside. I took some money and ran after the sound until I found the truck. I paid with a twenty-dollar bill and told the driver to keep the rest of the money.
I took my ice cream with me and enjoyed it in the sunshine.“I'm worthy of this joy,” I told myself,“I'm worthy of every bit of it.”

In the 1980s, two American scientists found that plants could“talk” to each other. They planted some young trees in different pots and put all of them in a clear sealed(密封的) box. When they broke the leaves of one young tree, it produced a chemical to protect itself. Then about 36 hours later, the other trees made the same thing. This showed that the hurt tree had sent a message through the air to the others.
Since then, more studies have shown that plants“talk” in a very complex(复杂的) way. For example,they can send different signals when they are hurt by different insects. Their messages can even tell other plants how far away the danger is.
What's more, a 2014 Australian study used the mimosa (含羞草) to prove that plants can learn. This plant is known for curling its leaves when it's troubled. The scientists put 50 pots of this plant on special shelves. They then dropped each plant 15centimeters down on its shelf and repeated this 60 times. At first, the plants curled their leaves, but they soon stopped. They learned that the drop wouldn't hurt them.
Plants don't have brains, ▲ ? Well, plants have a tube system that can move water and nutrients(养分) within them. When plants are influenced by their environment, they produce certain chemicals. These chemicals move through the tube to send important messages. Because of this, the plants change their responses to the environment.
23. What did the two US scientists find in the 1980s?
A. Plants can grow very fast in sealed boxes.
B. Plants can communicate with each other.
C. Plants can learn to avoid danger quickly.
D. Plants can produce chemicals to kill insects.
24. How does the writer describe the Australian study in Paragraph 4?
A. By telling stories. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By explaining reasons.
25. Which sentence is the best for“ ▲ ”?
A. so how do they learn B. so what do they learn
C. so why do they learn D. so when do they learn
26. What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?
A. To show the importance of protecting wild plants.
B. To describe the methods of growing healthy plants.
C. To explain the smart and amazing abilities of plants.
D. To introduce the way of plants producing chemicals.

Do you know the Great Barrier Reef? Located on the northeastern coast of Australia, it is the biggest coral reef in the world. However, this natural wonder is now facing a serious problem. There have been too many starfish on the reef and they like to eat coral. One can eat about 10m² of coral a year —— that is bigger than the floor space of a bedroom. In a year, one can make more than 200 million eggs. Trying to move away these starfish means lots of work.
Divers have been following boats and recording how many starfish they spot. This is slow work and can take a long time. The divers must know what the starfish look like very well and have good spotting(识别) skills. These starfish like to hide under things or in small spaces.
Google and an Australian research organization have worked together. They used lots of pictures and videos of the starfish to train a machine learning model. This AI technology can look at videos, and almost at the same time spot these starfish. Then the places where the starfish are can be put on a map.Divers can stop too many starfish from being in one area. When a human can sometimes find only one starfish, the model can spot 20! Other people around the world can even use this machine learning model to spot starfish. It's such a great way to protect the environment!
