Ⅲ.閱讀理解
Plants have family values, too, it seems, with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together.
An ability to tell family from strangers is well known in animals, allowing them to cooperate and share resources, but plants may possess similar social skills, scientists believe.
Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin.
This suggests that plants, though lacking recognition and memory, are capable of complex social interactions.
“Plants have this kind of hidden but complicated social life，” Dudley said.
The study found plants from the same species of beach－dwelling wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their families.
Sea rocket, a North American species, showed stronger and healthier root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives from the same maternal(母系的) family, the study found.
This is an example of kin selection, a behavior common in animals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment, the researchers said.
Kin selection also applies to competition, because if family members compete less with each other, the group will do better overall. “Everywhere you look, plants are growing right up next to other plants，” Dudley said，“ Usually it’s a case of each plant for itself. But sometimes those plants are related, and there are benefits to not wasting resources on being competitive, and there is not really a cost to not being competitive as long as your neighbor is also not being competitive.”
Learning and memory appear to be important for kin recognition in animals, but this isn’t an option for plants, she noted.
Some researchers speculate(猜測) that plants communicate through their roots, identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family.
24．What’s the main idea of the message?
A．Studies find plants can recognize, communicate with relatives.
B．Kin selection is important for plants.
C．Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives.
D．Competition asks plants to recognize their relatives.
25．Which of the following is NOT right about animals’ social skill?
A．Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives.
B．Animals’ social skill is to cooperate and share resources.
C．Animals’ social skill can recognize close relatives in order to work together.
D．Animals’ social skill is no use at all.
26．Plants’ kin selection is to ________.
A．grow well
B．compete with other kinds of plants
C．strengthen the relationship among siblings
D．find which one is the best
27．From the passage，we learn that ________.
A．sea rocket is a South American species
B．sea rocket grows aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors
C．sea rocket grows aggressively alongside its siblings
D．sea rocket is a kind of bush without flowers
28．How can the plants communicate with each other according to experts’ suppose?
A．Plants communicate by using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family.
B．Plants communicate with each other through their roots.
C．Plants communicate with each other by their leaves.
D．Plants communicate with each other with their flowers.
Ⅳ.閱讀簡答
When I stepped out of the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you！”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans－World Airlines (TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right－hand corner of the first－class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac(機場停機坪) in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.
I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
29．Why did many people crowd the terminal? (No more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
30. How did the writer get to Providence at last? (No more than 2 words)
________________________________________________________________________
31. Why did the author mention the incident in Miami? (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________
32. What can be implied from the passage? (No more than 14 words)

課時作業(六)
Ⅰ.1.B won the big prize暗示該空表示“得到回報”，因此應用pay off短語。
2．A 考查inspire的用法和動詞的時態。inspiring鼓舞人心的，啟發靈感的，常用來修飾物；inspired有靈感的，常用來指人。所以第一空用inspiring。根據本句的時態可知第二空選用現在的某種時態，所以選擇A項正確。
3．D 考查連詞＋分詞形式作狀語。根據句意“那個男孩被追問為什么遲到”可知，選擇D項正確。
4．B could have done表示對過去某事的一種假設，說的是與現在事實相反的情況。句意：感謝你們上周的努力工作，我想如果沒有你們，我們是不可能完成它的。
5．C 考查強調句型。強調句型的基本結構：It is/was＋被強調內容＋that(who/whom)＋其他內容。本句強調了主語years of hard work，原句即Years of hard work has made him what he is today.
6．C 考查動詞的時態。由語境可判斷該空表示“到目前為止她的作業已經被完成了”，故用現在完成時的被動語態，選C。
7．B 考查動詞的時態和語態。句意：我的朋友湯姆1976年離開紐約，從那時起就沒有聽到過他的消息。
8．D 考查動詞的時態。此處before I came to China表明study發生在“過去的過去”，故用過去完成時。
9．C 主語部分是as well as并列的兩個名詞，謂語動詞的人稱和數與前面的主語the father保持一致，即用第三人稱單數形式，由此排除B、D兩項。再根據句末的時間狀語確定用一般現在時，所以選C。句意：父親和三個孩子在冬天的每個周日下午去滑雪。
10．A 考查連詞。句意：一旦你承諾給她買禮物，無論怎樣你都不能失信。
11．D in one’s thirties在某人三十多歲時，in the 1930s或in the 1930’s在二十世紀三十年代。
12．A along with“和……一起”，apart from“除……之外”，all through“自始至終”，up to“直到”。句意：說唱者一邊說一邊敲擊。
13．A after 在……之后；carry out執行。兩空均用what引導賓語從句，并在從句中作主語。
14．B 考查交際用語。句意：——務必記著用溫開水一日吃三次藥。——我明白了。此處get it意為：明白了。
15．B 考查動詞辨析。句意：部長希望你出席下次會議。請做好準備。hope后不能直接跟人作賓語；desire要求，想要；long渴望，是不及物動詞；wish希望，強調希望渺茫，根據后句可知此項不符。故選B項。
Ⅱ.16.which 該空引導非限制性定語從句且在從句中作賓語，故填which。
17．that 此句為強調句型，被強調部分為there，故填that。
18．what 此句為感嘆句，根據空后的“a pity”可判斷填what。
19．do 否定詞seldom置于句首引起部分倒裝，故填助動詞do。
20．ourselves 根據句意“我們發現自己處在一片雪白的世界里”可判斷填ourselves。
21．Nothing 根據句意“什么也無法描述我們所看到的一切”填不定代詞Nothing。
22．with 根據習慣搭配“fill…with…”可判斷。
23．first 根據句意“這是第一次看到這么美麗的景色”可判斷填first。
Ⅲ.本文是科普說明文。科學家經過研究發現：和動物一樣，植物也有親屬選擇的習性，同時排擠其他種類植物。同時介紹了同系植物之間不競爭的原因、作用以及交流方式。
24．A 主旨大意題。全文說明研究發現：植物也可以辨別親屬，和親屬交流共生而和其他植物生長在一起時則瘋狂排擠競爭。
25．D 細節理解題。從第二段可以判斷出動物的社會能力非常有用，是為了合作，為了共享資源，而不是沒用。
26．B 細節理解題。從倒數第三段看出，植物的親屬判斷力是為了競爭。
