D.Labour-saving.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文，讲述了使用词典给作者带来的好处。〖答案〗24.C25.D26.A27.B【24题详析】细节理解题。根据第一段“LookingupwordsfeltlesslikeafailingthananadmissionthattherearelotsofthingsIdon’tknowandanopportunitytodiscoverjusthowmany.(查单词与其说是一种失败，不如说是一种承认，我不知道的东西很多，而且有机会发现到底有多少)”可知，作者认为字典有丰富知识的机会。故选C。【25题详析】推理判断题。根据第三段“TheymakemewonderwhatotherthingsI’mblindtobecauseIhaven’ttaughtmyselftonoticethemyet.Recentlyspottedexamplesincludeorrery,“amechanicalmodel,usuallyclockwork,devisedtorepresentthemotionsofthemoonandEarth(andsometimesalsootherplanets)aroundthesun.”(它们让我怀疑还有什么东西是我视而不见的，因为我还没有教会自己去注意它们。最近发现的例子包括orrery：“一种机械模型，通常是发条装置，用来表示月球和地球(有时也包括其他行星)围绕太阳的运动。”)”可推知，作者在第3段提到了orrery的例子是为了支持一项声明。故选D。【26题详析】词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“WikipediaandGoogleanswerquestionswithmorequestions,openinguppagesyouneveraskedfor.Butadictionarybuildsoncommonknowledge,usingsimplewordstoexplaincomplexones.(维基百科和谷歌用更多的问题回答问题，打开你从未问过的页面。但是字典建立在常识的基础上，用简单的词来解释复杂的词)”可知，词典可以简洁的方式解释复杂的问题，而其他网站则以更多的问题来回答你的问题，没有达到解决的目的。由此可知fallingdownarabbithole意指没有解决问题反而遇到新的问题。可知，故选A。【27题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Forme,dictionariesareadoorintothatkindofuncalculatedknowledge-seeking.TheyremindmethatfollowingyourcuriosityinsteadofbrushingitasideisoneofthebestwaysIknowtofeelconnectedtomorethanwhat’srightinfrontofyou.(对我来说，字典是一扇通往那种未经计算的求知之门。他们提醒我，跟随你的好奇心，而不是置之不理，是我所知道的最好的方式之一，让你觉得自己与眼前的事物有更多的联系)”可推知，词典丰富了知识，打开了作者的视野。故选B。CIn1986,KingCharlessuggestedtalkingtoplants,athoughtinitiallymockedbutnowsupportedbyevidencethatplantscandetect,reactto,andpotentiallyproducesound.Sinceplantshavebeenevolvingalongsidetheinsectsforhundredsofmillionsofyears,HeidiAppel,abotanistandReginaldCocroft,anentomologistwonderedifplantsmightbesensitivetothesoundsmadebyinsects.Theresearchersrecordedthevibrations(声音震动)fromcaterpillars(毛虫)astheychewedonleaves.Thentheplantswereexposedtotherecordedvibrationswhilenocaterpillarswereactuallypresent.Theresultswerestriking.Leavesthathadbeenexposedhadsignificantlyhigherlevelsofdefensivechemicals,makingthemmuchharderforthecaterpillarstoeat.Theresearchmayhavepracticalconsequences,suchasusingdronesarmedwithspeakerstowarncropsofpestthreats,offeringaneco-friendlyalternativetochemicalpesticides.FurtherstudiesbyecologistMonicaGaglianorevealthatplants,likepeaplants,can“hear”waterthroughsound,withrootsrespondingtowater-relatedvibrationsevenwhenthewaterisinaccessible.Thisfindingcouldhaveimplicationsforpreventingdamagetosewer(下水道)systemscausedbyplantroots.Theassumptionhadbeenthatitwasleaksthatattractedtheroots.Thesolution,shesays,mightbetoinvestinpipesthataresilentaswaterrunsthroughthem.Additionally,thestudybytheteamatTelAvivUniversityrevealedthatplantsunderstress,duetofactorslikeinsufficientwaterorphysicaldamage,makehigh-frequencysounds,whichcanbedetectedeveninnoisyenvironments.Thisopenspossibilitiesforusingmicrophonestomonitorplanthealthinagriculture,potentiallyaidingfarmersinidentifyingandaddressingcropissues.Despitesomequestionsremainingtobesolved,thesefascinatingdiscoveriescastnewlightonplants’abilitytoperceiveandrespondtosoundsintheirenvironment.Plantsliveinaworldfullofsoundsduetohumancivilization,anditisworthinvestigatingthisinterestingaspect.PerhapsresearchersmightevenseekfundingfromKingCharles.28.WhatwastheoriginalreactiontoKingCharles’ssuggestion?A.Ambiguous.

B.C.
