We usually think that plants always stay quiet and never speak. Grass doesn't cry when you cut it; flowers don't shout when they're picked. But this view of the world couldn't be more wrong. Plants talk to each other all the time. Their language is one of chemicals.

Over the years, scientists have found that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, send compounds(复合物)into the air to help neighboring plants. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still a mystery.

Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan looked at tomato plants that had been bitten by insects. To start out, they grew plants in two plastic bags connected by a tube(管子). One plant had been bitten by insects. The other was not bitten.

They found that when insects bite plant leaves, the plants don't sit quietly. They send a chemical called "hexvic" into the air. Humans can't notice it, but these chemicals carry a smell that neighboring plants can notice. This way, neighboring plants realize the danger and begin to give off more "hexvic" to protect themselves.

The same scientists continued their research by placing insects on the plants that had not been bitten. The plants were able to kill nearly 50 percent of the invaders, much more than their neighbor.

It was surprising that the plants that had not been bitten didn't send the chemical until the received a warning message from their infested(受侵的)neighbor, the scientists said. These findings could be used to help farmers with the control of the insects which do harm to their plants.

（1）When bitten by insects, the tomato plant __________ .

A . stayed quiet without doing anything

B . died immediately after that

C . sent out a chemical to warn others

D . wouldn't be hurt again by the same insects

（2）What does the underlined word "invaders" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A . Scientists

B . Insects.

C . Compounds.

D . Farmers.

（3）What can we learn from the research?

A . Tomato plants are easily bitten by insects.

B . The smell of hexvic is a kind of warning message.

C . Hexvic can help plants kill all the insects near them.

D . Plants won't give off chemicals until they are hurt.

（4）Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A . Plants don't communicate with each other.

B . Scientists did the research with two plants bitten by insects.

C . The findings of the research help farmers to protect their plants.

D . Communication among plants is no longer a mystery.

（5）What's the best title of the passage?

A . Growing Tomatoes

B . Talking Plants

C . Harmful Chemicals

D . Scientific Researches

①If you have a chance to go to Fin land(芬兰), you will probably be surprised to find how "foolish" the Finnish people are.

②Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz(奔驰) with the money of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to do, and then walk off without paying. The driver would not show the least sign of being nervous and worried.

③The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration(登记) card to the waiter. With such a relaxing check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to get the meals free.

④The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.

⑤With so many mistakes in everyday life, surely Finland must be a place to those who love to take "petty advantages"(小便宜). But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have done their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest record of the exact hours they put in.

⑥As you can see, living in such a society has turned ever yone into a real "gentleman". In a society

of such high moral(道德) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

（1）We can learn from the second paragraph that_________ in Finland.

A . all the taxis are very inexpensive and comfortable

B . passengers only pay two US dollars for a taxi ride

C . taxi drivers don't know the ways in city very well

D . It's normal for passengers to pay for the drivers later

（2）Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?

A . No outside dinner go to the free dining rooms.

B . Workers are always honest with their working hours.

C . To pay later when you take a taxi.

D . To travel around Finland by ship.

（3）It can be seen from the passage that __________ in Finland.

A . hotel guests often get meals free with their friends outside

B . the bosses pay the workers according to their performance

C . the workers are always honest with their working hours

D . people are usually not so smart or careful in daily life

（4）Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

A .

B .

C .

D .

3. （8分） A group of frogs were travelling through the woods. Two of them, Nick and Jack, fell into a deep pit(坑). All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told Nick and Jack that they were as good as dead.

Jack continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the frogs around the pit shouted at him to stop the pain(痛苦) and just die. Jack jumped even harder and finally got out.

The morning was cold and clear. A yellow bus came around the corner and stopped near a wood (树林). A coach asked the students to get off the bus. Girls began to gather by the starting line. One of them is a young, little girl. She had prepared for this running race for the whole summer. She looked around at the other girls, noticing how she was different.

There was a break in the silence, and everyone started to run. After about twenty-five minutes, every runner finished the race except the girl. She was still running for the next forty minutes. As she came near the finishing line, she saw her parents, classmates and the coach. They shouted her name and told her not to stop until the end. The sweat (汗水) was flowing down her face.

She kept on running until she crossed the line. I was that girl, and that was the first time I had finished a cross-country race (越野赛跑).

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.

Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the 11th century BC.

We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

Not every dog is right for children and not every child is right for a dog. Most dog or child problems I meet involve children under six years old. If your children are under six, you should invest a great deal of time and thoughts before choosing a new dog. Large guard dogs or dogs which have a history of being aggressive(好斗的) or biting should be avoided. Large and high-energy dogs that can knock children over would not be good choices either. Instead, parents should consider the little gentle dogs.

Parents with little children are usually very busy. They often do not have free time or desire to spend hours cleaning or walking a dog. In fact, a dog requires almost as much time as a child does. So ask yourself if you are ready to keep a dog when you are already very busy. As a veterinarian, many of the problems I meet are caused by the excuses like "the dog would be good for the kids" or "the children begged for one", but the parents do not really want a dog. If the parents cannot completely care for or train the dog, then I usually stop them from keeping a dog, otherwise it is not fair to the dog.

（1）According to the writer, most dog or child problems happen to children who are .

A . under 6 years old

B . from 6 to 8 years old

C . under 10 years old

D . over 12 years old

（2）Which kind of dog might be suitable for children under 6?

A . Large guard dogs.

B . Large and high-energy dogs.

C . Large aggressive dogs.

D . Little gentle dogs.

（3）From the passage, we can know that the writer is a(n) .

A . reporter

B . animal doctor

C . expert

D . teacher

（4）The writer thinks that it is unfair if .

A . parents don't raise a dog for their children

B . children are not allowed to walk the dog

C . a mother with young kids needs to walk the dog

D . parents keep a pet dog but don't care for it well
