【題目】

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation—their young trees?

Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist (生態(tài)學(xué)家) at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex (復(fù)雜的) than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin (達(dá)爾文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) such as nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".

Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神經(jīng)元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all.

Simard talks about "Mother trees". These are usually the largest, oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These "Mother trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.

"We didn't take any notice of it," Simard says sadly. "Mother trees" move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

【1】The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________.

A.compete for survivalB.protect their own wealth

C.depend on each otherD.provide support for dying trees

【2】"Mother trees" are very important because they ________.

A.look the largest in size in the forestB.pass on nutrition to young trees

C.bring more wealth to humansD.know more about the "tree societies"

【3】We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.trees aren't as complex as we think

B.Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard

C.if "Mother trees" are cut down, they won't make difference to young trees

D.trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks

【題目】

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a lovely song for children, but it has two misunderstandings (誤解). First, stars aren’t little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system (太陽(yáng)系). Second, they don’t twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age. viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter (過濾器) because the air is thick compared to the emptiness of space. What is more, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving, too. The air also makes stars appear dimmer (暗淡的) than they would be if we could see them from space.

If you stop and look at the sky carefully on a dark and moonless night, it’s easy to find color differences among stars. The color of a star is a signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible (可見的) stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars different in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.

Some stars appear brighter to humans simply because they’re closer. Astronomers rank (排列) the brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by giving them a name known as magnitude (光度) ---the smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a number that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With a magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.

【1】From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that .

A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter

B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Earth

C. stars are very large and always shine brightly

D. starlight’s brightness and color are the signs of its temperature

【2】Magnitude is designed to see .

A. how far a star is from Earth

B. how bright a star is compared to other stars

C. how far a star is from other stars

D. how bright a star is seen from Earth

【3】Which is the best title of this passage?

A. What do stars look like?

B. Which song do children like best?

C. How to view the stars from Earth?

D. Why are many stars so dim at night?

——It is ________ ! His math is always the worst.

A. possible B. simple C. impossible D. bored
