Section Ⅲ　Developing ideas & Presenting ideas [对应学生用书P103] The Secret Language of Plants Talking plants have long been a thing of myths① and legends②.Many cultures have stories of talking trees that give advice as well as③ warnings to people.[1]Alexander the Great④ and Marco Polo were said to have visited such a tree in India. And in some modern stories，such as the film Avatar，trees can communicate with animals and people. [1]此处为“主语＋be＋said＋不定式”句型。 [2]With us long believing that talking plants are fantasy⑤，new research has revealed⑥ something amazing：[3]it appears that plants can communicate after all． [2]此处为with复合结构，其中that引导宾语从句，作believing的宾语。 [3]本句中的it作句子的主语，无实际意义。appears是系动词，其后的that则引导一个表语从句。 [4]It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals⑦ to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant，say a bean plant，gets attacked by insects.The plant releases⑧ tiny amounts of chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten.This is like a warning，or a call for help：“I'm being attacked！” When another bean plant detects⑨ the chemicals from its injured neighbour，it starts to release its own，different chemicals.Some of these chemicals drive insects away⑩.Others attract insects—the wasps⑪！ The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plants.Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system，[5]so that we can use it to grow crops without pesticides． [4]本句中的It在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是后面由that引导的从句。 [5]此处so that引导目的状语从句。 More surprisingly⑫，plants also use sound to communicate.People can't hear these sounds，but plants are making them.Some plants make noises with their roots.Corn and chilli⑬ plants do this.They also “listen” to the noises from other plants.A chilli plant can tell⑭ if a neighbouring⑮ plant is helpful，or unfriendly.Some trees make clicking noises [6]when there is not enough water，indicating⑯ drought is arriving． [6]此处when引导时间状语从句，意为“当……时”；indicating...arriving是现在分词短语作伴随状语。 Most surprisingly of all，plants have an amazing system of communication that can link⑰ nearly every plant in a forest.Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”．It is in some ways⑱ similar to the Internet we use.[7]While the Internet is a worldwide network of computers linked by cables and satellites, the wood wide web is linked underground⑲ by fungi⑳.This fungal network links the roots of different plants to each other.[8]Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other.For example，some pine trees can send food to smaller pine trees to help them grow.But just like our own Internet，the wood wide web has its own version㉑ of “cybercrime㉒”．Plants can steal food from each other，or spread poisons to attack other plants.Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. [7]此处While为并列连词，表示对比关系，意为“而，然而”。 [8]此处是现在分词短语作方式状语。 Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways [9]in which plants talk to each other．Who knows？Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. [9]此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，其中介词in由先行词ways的搭配决定。 ①myth n.[C，U](古代的)神话；虚构的东西 ②legend n.[C，U]传说，传奇(故事) legendary adj.传说的；非常著名的 ③as well as 也，还(常用于连接两个并列的成分) ④Alexander the Great 亚历山大大帝 [文化常识]　人们通常在西方国家的君王名称后面加其他名词来显示人们对其功绩或为人的评价。例如狮心王理查(Richard the Lionheart)，征服者威廉(William the Conqueror)。 ⑤fantasy n.[U]幻想，想象 ⑥reveal vt.显示；透露；揭示 reveal the truth/the secret揭露真相/泄露秘密 ⑦chemical n.[C]化学制品，化学品adj.化学的 chemistry n.[U]化学 chemist n.[C]化学家 ⑧release vt.释放 ⑨detect v.发现，察觉(尤指不易觉察到的事物) detective n.[C]侦探 ⑩drive away使离去 [拓展]　give away分发；赠送 break away逃脱 ⑪wasp n.[C]黄蜂 ⑫more surprisingly更令人吃惊的是(常用在句首，用于修饰全句) ⑬chilli n.[C，U]辣椒 ⑭tell vt.[熟词生义]分辨，识别 tell A from B 辨别A和B tell the difference between A and B分辨出A与B的区别 ⑮neighbouring adj.邻近的，附近的，毗邻的 ⑯indicate vt.& vi.表明，显示 indication n.[C，U]显示，表明，标示 ⑰link v.把……联系起来；连接 link...to/with...把……和……连接/联系起来 ⑱in some ways在某种程度上 ⑲underground adv.在地下 adj.地下的 ⑳fungus n.[C]真菌(复数fungi) fungal adj.真菌的；真菌引起的 ㉑version n.[C]形式；变种；版本 ㉒cybercrime n.[C，U]网络犯罪 [构词法]　前缀cyber-意为“计算机的，网络的”，常置于名词和形容词前。由其构成的词还有cybersecurity(网络安全)，cyberthreat(网络威胁) 等。 植物密语 会说话的植物长久以来都是神话和传说里的事情。许多文化里都有会说话的树给人们警告和建议的故事。据说，亚历山大大帝和马可·波罗曾在印度见过这样一棵树。而且在一些现代故事中，像电影《阿凡达》，树木可以与动物和人交流。 我们一直认为会说话的植物只存在于幻想之中，但新的研究有了惊人的发现：植物间似乎确实可以交流。 人们知道植物使用化学物质相互交流已经有一段时间了。当某种植物(比如豆类植物)受到昆虫侵害的时候就会这样做。(受侵害的)植株从正被啃食的叶子中释放出微量的化学物质，就像是发出警告或者呼救：“我被攻击了！”另一株豆类植物察觉到附近受伤植株释放出的化学物质时，它便开始释放自身不同的化学物质。其中一些化学物质把昆虫驱走，另一些则会吸引昆虫——黄蜂！黄蜂会杀死正啃食豆类植株的昆虫。科学家希望能进一步了解这种植物警报系统，这样我们就可以利用其种植农作物，而不使用农药。 更令人惊讶的是，植物也会用声音交流。虽然人类无法听到，但是植物确实在发出声音。有些植物用根部发出响声，玉米和辣椒就是如此。它们还会“倾听”其他植物发出的声音。辣椒可以分辨出邻近的植物是敌是友。一些树在没有足够的水分时，会发出咔嗒声以示干旱即将来临。 最令人惊讶的是，植物之间有一个惊人的交流系统，该交流系统可以把森林里几乎每一株植物联系起来。科学家称该系统为“植物万维网”。它在某种程度上与我们使用的互联网相似。互联网是由电缆和卫星连接起来的全球计算机网络，而植物万维网是由真菌在地下连接而成的。这个真菌网络将不同植物的根系相互连接了起来。通过植物万维网，植物可以相互分享信息甚至食物。例如，一些松树能够给松树幼苗输送养分，帮助它们生长。不过就像我们的互联网一样，植物万维网也有自己版本的“网络犯罪”。植物间会互相窃取食物，或者传播毒素以攻击其他植物。也许有一天，科学家将学会如何建造“防火墙”来帮助阻止植物万维网内部的攻击。 科学家对于植物互相交流的秘密方式的认识与日俱增。谁知道呢？也许有一天，我们对植物交流有了足够的了解，便能够亲自与它们“交谈”。 [对应学生用书P105] Ⅰ.重点词汇 核心单词 1．root n.根 2．link v.把……联系起来；连接 3．centimetre n.厘米 拓展单词 4．legend n.传说，传奇(故事) →legendary adj.传说的；非常著名的 5．detect v.发现，察觉(尤指不易觉察到的事物) →detection n.发现，察觉，侦察→detective n.侦探 Ⅱ.重点短语 1．as well as 不但……而且……；既……又……；除了…… 2．communicate with sb 与某人交流 3．tiny amounts of 微量的 4．drive away 驱走；驶离 5．in some ways 在某些方面 6．be similar to 与……相似 Ⅲ.重点句式 1．sb/sth be said to do...“据说……” Alexander the Great and Marco Polo were said to have visited (据说见过) such a tree in India. 2．with复合结构 With us long believing (我们一直认为) that talking plants are fantasy，new research has revealed something amazing：it appears that plants can communicate after all. 3．it作形式主语 It has been known for some time that (人们已经知道……有一段时间了) plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. 4．the way＋定语从句 Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other (植物相互交流的秘密方式).
