In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 46. What can tomato plants do when worms eat them?（不超过12词） ____________________________________________________________ 47. What do plants mainly use to talk to each other?（不超过10词） ____________________________________________________________ 48. Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter?（不超过12词） ____________________________________________________________ 49. What’s the main idea of the passage?（不超过20词） ____________________________________________________________ 50. How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us?（结合自身实际，不超过20词） ____________________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 假设你是王华，你的笔友David对中国中学生的周末生活很感兴趣。请你写一封邮件，以“A Meaningful Weekend with My Best Friend”为题，向他分享你和好朋友的一次周末经历。 邮件内容需包含： 1. 简单介绍你和朋友的一处相同或不同的兴趣爱好； 2. 描述你们在周末一起做的一件事（可选择帮忙做家务、探索户外的动植物等）； 3. 谈谈这次周末经历让你感受到的快乐或收获。 注意： 1. 词数70左右； 2. 语句通顺，语法正确，条理清晰； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。 EMAIL To: David@example.com From: WangHua@student.com Dear David, I’m glad to tell you about a meaningful weekend I spent with my best friend. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your reply.

Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place.”可知，作者通过讲述一个关于上帝和树的故事开篇。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks sticking up in the air.”可知，猴面包树在旱季没有叶子，看起来像直立在空中的树干。故选A。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks.”可知，老树能容纳很多人，当地人还能在树干里建房，说明树干内部是“空的”，由此可推测“hollow”意为“空洞的”。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s the baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others.”可知，猴面包树有很多名字。故选A。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文内容可知，文章开头用故事引出猴面包树，随后介绍了它的生长地区、外形特征、不同季节的状态，以及被称为“生命之树”的原因和多种用途，核心是围绕猴面包树这一特殊树木展开。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Many parents do not let their children do housework because they want their children to focus on their studies.

In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 46. What can tomato plants do when worms eat them?（不超过12词） ____________________________________________________________ 47. What do plants mainly use to talk to each other?（不超过10词） ____________________________________________________________ 48. Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter?（不超过12词） ____________________________________________________________ 49. What’s the main idea of the passage?（不超过20词） ____________________________________________________________ 50. How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us?（结合自身实际，不超过20词） ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. 47. Plants mainly use special air to talk to each other. 48. To stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. 49. The passage mainly talks about the amazing abilities of plants. 50. I water them regularly and put them in the sun to help them grow quickly. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了植物具有自我保护、交流以及记忆等令人惊奇的能力，改变了人们对植物的传统看法。 【46题详解】 根据文章第二段“when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice.（当虫子吃它们时，番茄植株可以用一种特殊的汁液使叶子味道变坏。）”可推知结论番茄植株会让叶子味道变坏。 【47题详解】 根据文章第三段“They mainly use special air.（它们主要使用特殊的空气。）”可推知结论植物交流主要用特殊空气。 【48题详解】 根据文章第四段“They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter.（它们记住冷天和暖天是为了防止在冬天温暖的时段过早开花。）”可推知结论是为了防止过早开花。 【49题详解】 根据文章第一段“plants are unusual in their own ways.（植物以其自身的方式不同寻常。）”及小标题可推知结论文章主旨是植物的奇妙能力。 【50题详解】 本题为开放性问题，结合自身实际回答如何照顾植物即可，注意词数限制。比如I water them regularly and put them in the sun to help them grow quickly. 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 假设你是王华，你的笔友David对中国中学生的周末生活很感兴趣。请你写一封邮件，以“A Meaningful Weekend with My Best Friend”为题，向他分享你和好朋友的一次周末经历。 邮件内容需包含： 1. 简单介绍你和朋友的一处相同或不同的兴趣爱好； 2. 描述你们在周末一起做的一件事（可选择帮忙做家务、探索户外的动植物等）； 3. 谈谈这次周末经历让你感受到的快乐或收获。 注意： 1. 词数70左右； 2. 语句通顺，语法正确，条理清晰； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。 EMAIL To: David@example.com From: WangHua@student.com Dear David, I’m glad to tell you about a meaningful weekend I spent with my best friend. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your reply.
