10、选出最佳选项。21(6分) Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration? Think again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that youre probably totally unaware of.Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made
11、up of fungus (真菌) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller one
12、s to help them to survive.Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being
13、swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insects natural enemy. The enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.You might be aware that humans and an
14、imals have an internal clock. But did you know that plants also have this clock? This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do. Is it because they can react to light at sunrise? In a study, scientists found that plants use the sugars they produce to keep time, which help to re
15、gulate the genes responsible for the plants own internal clock. So, in a sense, wake up with petunias (矮牵牛) is just as valid as wake up with the chickens.Nature is full of surprises. So for those of you who didnt know the wonders of plants, now you do.1、How many ways does the network of fungus serve

18、ts have provided new evidence to help solve one of the worlds oldest mysteries-zebras stripes. Researchers recently described experiments showing that horse flies have a difficult time landing on zebras while easily landing on horses of a single color.In one experiment, the researchers put blankets
19、with stripes on horses and saw that fewer flies landed on them. They fly past them or hit them and bounce off, said Tim Caro of the University of California-Davis. He was the lead writer of a report on the study. The report was published in the journal PLOS ONE.Closely related to horses, the worlds
20、three zebra species are known for their black-and-white striped bodies. Zebras are native to Africas savannas, or grasslands. The appearance of the stripes is different from one zebra to the next.There have been four main theories about the reasons why zebras developed stripes. The first theory is t
21、o avoid attacks by meat-eating animals. Another is that zebras have an easier time recognizing other zebras. a third idea is thermoregulation, which is the ability of a creature to control its body temperature, even when the surrounding temperature is different. The fourth theory is to prevent attac
22、ks by biting flies.Only the last stands up, Caro said. Most biologists involved in research on mammal coloration accept that this is the reason why zebras have stripes. University of Bristol biologist Martin How worked with Caro on the study. He said stripes may confuse flies when they get too close
23、 to zebras. African horse flies carry diseases, such as trypanosomiasis. The sickness can cause weakness and be deadly.“In addition to stripes that prevent controlled landings by horse flies, zebras are always moving their tail and may frighten off the horse flies if they do land successfully, Marti
24、n How said. He added that zebras are also using behavioral means to prevent flies from biting them1、Why did the researchers put blankets with stripes on horses?ATo confuse African horse flies.BTo draw the attention of real zebras.CTo help drive away African horse flies.DTo see how African horse flie

27、re about such flies.BTo tell us how zebras survive biting flies.CTo explain about a cause of death of zebras.DTo show the necessity for zebras to avoid flies.5、What is the best title for the text?AWhy do zebras have stripes?BHow did zebras evolve from horses?CWhat is the worlds oldest mystery?DWhen
28、did zebras start to prevent horse flies?23(8分)Many people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice. Every time pengu
29、ins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film an
30、d believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguins colors, its way of standing straight upright and
31、the way it walks.”These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy. The penguins co
32、lour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguins white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. And from above, other animals cannot see the penguins black back against the dark ocean floor.The p
33、enguins colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like
34、 parts of a baby.Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the University of Michigan tested young peoples reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The researchers showed the you
35、ng people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.1、In the film “March of the Penguins”, _.Aa baby penguin is stolen Ba
36、 penguin is sent out as a giftCpenguins are cute and attractive Dpenguins have a bad sense of balance2、It can be inferred from the passage that _ .Aa walking penguin has more energy than a swimming oneBa penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from fallingCa shop selling baby products are lik
37、ely to make more moneyDa website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors3、Scientists have found that the penguins color can _.Achange at different places Bhelp them keep warmCmake people have pity on them Dprotect them from being hunted4、The study carried out by the University of Michigan
38、 shows that _.Acute messages mislead peopleBcuteness influences peoples judgmentChumans react to anything that is cuteDa simple message is more convincing than a cute message24(8分)If you are heading for Paris this year, be sure to include at least one of these shopping malls in your schedule.Au Prin

The store also offers many services to overseas visitors, including shipping, translation and a personal shopping service. Au Printemps, whose name means springtime, hosts sev
40、eral free fashion shows each week. The stores beauty department has one of the worlds largest selections of perfumes.Galeries LafayetteTel: 01133014283The Galeries Lafayette was built in 1906. It is as much fun to look at as it is to shop in this 10-storey shopping palace. In fact, the flagship stor
41、e is the second most visited attraction in Paris, after the Louvre Museum. This shopping palace specializes in womens clothing. Make sure to take in the view from the tea shop on the top floor; its well worth the visit.Le Bon MarcheTel: 01133014439This stylish Left Bank department store was Paris fi

La Forum des Halles, the three-storey-tall shopping
43、center offers everything from souvenirs to haute couture(高级女子时装)to entertainment, such as first-run movies and street performers. The shopping center is attached to the busy La Halle-Chatelet metro station and can be easily reached from all over Paris.1、Which of the following places attracts the mos
44、t visitors according to the passage?AThe Louvre Museum. BThe Paris Opera.CLa Forum des Halles. DAu Printemps.2、Which of the stores pays its special attention to womens dressing?ALe Bon Marche.

45、s is famous for its food hallBLa Forum des Halles is next to the metro stationCthe clothes in Le Bon Marche are usually very cheapDthe tea shop that is worth visiting is on the ninth floor of Galeries Lafayette25(10分)J.K. Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her a
46、ttempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Fol
47、lowing the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenw
48、riter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a glo
49、be-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. Th
50、e “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 193, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to dista
51、nce himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the
52、wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Si
53、milarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundatio
54、ns of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worl
55、ds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearl
56、y, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be ev
57、en more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic B
58、easts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a
59、 more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment
60、 with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book
