25、essiveC. Optimistic D. ProudCWe already know that plants are capable of learning and adapting to their environment, just like any organism. But a new study seems to suggest that plants can do more than just adapt. They can actually make decisions at that.Perhaps we shouldnt be surprised. Plants migh

26、t be rooted, but their environments can be complex. In fact, researchers discovered that competition and a dynamic environment are what really pushes plants decision-making to its limits.For instance, when competing with competitors for limited sunlight, a plant is faced with having to choose among

27、a number of options. It can attempt to outgrow its neighbors, thus gaining more access to light. It can also attempt to go into a low-light survival mode, if it doesnt consider an arms race to be worthwhile. The plant might also need to determine which way it should grow to best maximize its resourc

28、es.“In our study we wanted to learn if plants can choose between these responses and match them to the relative size and density(密度) of their opponents,” said Michal Gruntman.In the experiment, whenever plants were presented with tall competitors, they would go into shade-tolerance mode. On the cont

29、rary, when plants were surrounded by small, dense vegetation, they would attempt to grow upright. But there were also wise decisions built into each of these situations, too. For instance, plants in shade-tolerance mode would make their leaves thinner and wider to capture as much light as possible r

30、elative to the level of their competition.“Such an ability to choose between different responses according to their outcome could be particularly important in diverse environments, where plants can grow by chance under neighbors with different size, age or density, and should therefore be able to ch

31、oose their appropriate strategy,” said Gruntman.All of this basically means that scientists are beginning to look more closely at how plants work through their decisions. Obviously plants dont have nervous systems, so more research will be needed to see exactly how these decision-making mechanisms (

32、机能) operate within our plant friends.28. Why do plants need to make decisions?A. They are far different from other organisms.B. They know how to adapt to their environment.C. The environment where they are suited can change.D. They have the ability of learning about environment.29. The underlined ph

33、rase “an arms race” in Paragraph 3 means .A. the attempt to growB. the choice to surviveC. the way to maximize the resourcesD. the competition for more sunlight30. What influences the size and shape of plant leaves?A. How fierce their competitions are.B. Where the plants grow actually.C. Whether veg

34、etation is dense or not.D. What small plants they are surrounded with.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Plants can easily adapt to the environment.B. Plants are capable of decision-making.C. Plants can work like other organisms actually.D. Plants compete for sunlight with each other.DScient

35、ists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale（须鲸类）became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicho

36、las Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million yea

37、rs started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations（模拟）and knowledge about how evolution works, they conclud

38、ed that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted,Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator(赤道）and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that w

39、hales eat.Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鲸), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants that made food less evenly spread out didnt affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.Olivier Lambert at

40、 the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really convincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult t

41、ime surviving.32. What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?A. The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.B. The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.C. Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whale

42、s.D. Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant. 33. What played the key role in baleen whales becoming huge?A. Man-made climate change.B. Its eating a huge amount of fish.C. The water circulation in the oceans.D. The increase of food supply for whales.34.What do we know about s

43、perm whales and blue whales according to the text?A. Sperm whales eat more food.B. Blue whaler live much longer.C. Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.D. Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. There are no whale fossils now.B. The whales

44、may become even bigger.C. Global warming has threatened the whales.D. Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Best Way to Save MoneyAlthough the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age, family size and
