A “Gap Year” is a period of time wh en a student takes a break before going to university. It is

often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.

Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：

Learn about the World and Yourself

Although you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.

Face Challenges and Have Fun

A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn’ t always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.

Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances

Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals ran keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing. Imagine an admission officer trying to admit (录取) only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However, one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?

? A new study finds that plants communicate with one another

to warn of danger.

We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world.

They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act

on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all

the time. And the language is chemical.

Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of

plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.

In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.

They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.

42.The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragra ph probably means _________ here.

A.reported

B. followed

C. doubted

D. developed

43.For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?

①Place the infested plant upwind.

②Place the uninfested plant downwind.

③Expose the downwind plants to the pest.

④Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.

A.③①②④

B. ①④③②

C. ④①②③

D. ④②①③

44.You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants.” At the b eginning of

A.Paragraph 3

B. Paragraph 4

C. Paragraph 5

D. Paragraph 6

45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

https://www.360docs.net/doc/7b11623548.html,municating Plants and Terrible Diseases

B.Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings

C.Protecting Plants and Clear Information

D.Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals

Don’ t Rest on Your Laurels

Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”？“ Laurels” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.

As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire, England, Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough, but Mike doesn’t think so. At the age of 17，he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海).

Mike is now 19, and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further. For his next adventure, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.

Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his adventures, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.
