44、 their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever theres trouble.Personality,just as among people,varies among trees.Some are anxious,some bold.On the authors land,there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to she

45、d its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature,the same soil and the same length of day,such variables cant be the explanation.So whats happening?Well,this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more p

46、hotosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However,the longer a tree keeps its leaves,the higher the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions,they also learn from their mistakes.A tree,for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This

47、leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously,trees dont have brains,but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.But trees arent o

48、nly clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever theres trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example,one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.Bu

49、t the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible?Well,the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system,and had been for at least 400 years!Why do trees do such a thing?Its simple:its better together.Trees need the forest;it protects them from

51、xplain trees are quite supportive to each other.D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段第四句可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一句可知,树木能自己做决定。据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故B项正确。29.According to the text,which of the following best describes general features of trees?A.Anxious and

52、 bold.B.Smart and adventurous.C.Helpful and well-behaved.D.Adaptable and supportive.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,树木的适应能力强。根据第四段第一、二句可知,树木不仅善于照顾自己,当遇到困难时,它们还相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类。据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助,故D项正确。30.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?A.Give warnings

53、.B.Offer assistance.C.Depend on others.D.Provide nutrients.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据第四段尾句可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第一句和其后的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助”,显然该短语是指提供帮助,故B项正确。31.Where does this text most probably come from?A.A public lecture.B.A science book.C.An experiment report.D.A travel journal.答案B解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文是一

54、篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧。据此可推知,本文最可能选自科学书籍,故B项正确。D(2020全国卷)The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In a

55、nother,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step furtherchanging the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual func

56、tions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when theyre short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.“Were thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,”explained Michael Strano,a

57、professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables.Stranos team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a

58、 start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plants lifetime.The eng

59、ineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps

60、on a remote highwaya lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了麻省理工学院开展的研究,力求用发光的植物代替日常用品的功能。用普通蔬菜来发光照亮房间,甚至将树木变成自供电的街灯。32.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.A new study of different plants.B.A b

61、ig fall in crime rates.C.Employees from various workplaces.D.Benefits from green plants.答案D解析段落大意题。由文章第一段可知,一项研究发现,城市绿化率越高的区域犯罪率越低;另一项研究发现,工作环境有室内植物装饰时,员工的效率提高15%。由此可知,本段主要讲绿色植物的好处。故选D项。33.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers?A.To detect plants lack of water.B

62、.To change compositions of plants.C.To make the life of plants longer.D.To test chemicals in plants.答案A解析细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Theseincludeplantsthathavesensorsprintedontotheirleavestoshowwhentheyreshortofwater”可知,麻省理工学院的工程师们之所以在植物叶子上放置传感器,是想监测植物的缺水状况。故选A项。34.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the

63、 future?A.They will speed up energy production.B.They may transmit electricity to the home.C.They might help reduce energy consumption.D.They could take the place of power plants.答案C解析推理判断题。由文章最后两段,尤其是最后一段中的“Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.”可推知,将来这种发光植物可能会有助于降低能源消耗。故选C

64、项。35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Can we grow more glowing plants?B.How do we live with glowing plants?C.Could glowing plants replace lamps?D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free?答案C解析标题归纳题。文章开门见山,指出人类与植物的联系一直是科研的主题;然后讲述麻省理工学院开展的研究,力求用植物代替日常用品的功能;接下来进一步阐述用普通蔬菜来发出

65、光照亮房间,甚至将树木变成自供电的街灯。由此可知,文章最佳标题为:发光的植物能替代街灯吗?故选C项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As is known to all,we are always consuming various foods.We have to spend large parts of our days finding,buying,cooking and eating our food.Did you ever think it might be nice to be

66、able to make your own food like plants do?36 They perform a process called photosynthesis(光合作用) using light from the sun,water and carbon dioxide.The end result of this chemical reaction is sugar for the plant to eat.The plant gives off water and oxygen.37 Plants have special structures called chlor

67、oplasts (叶绿体) that animals dont have.These structures are filled with chlorophyll,which gives leafy green plants their green colour.Their main job is to absorb light from the sun.Chloroplasts can absorb every colour except green.Light makes chlorophyll active.It creates an energy that separates wate

68、r out into hydrogen and oxygen.38 Hydrogen from the water combines with carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out.Oxygen is sent out into the air.39 Plants rely on the carbon dioxide that we breathe out,and we rely on the oxygen that they breathe out.This is one good reason for protecting plant

69、life on Earth.Many plants can produce a constant supply of oxygen for us.We need plants in order to survive.Conservation (保护) projects around the globe are aimed at protecting our natural resources,including numerous species of plants.40A.Plants are producers.B.Chemical reactions take place.C.Animal
