24、Can plants talk? Modern study has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insets. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning. or a call for help: “I’m being attacked! When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sounds to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (真菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will lead how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other, Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
【1】What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?
A.They will kill the insects by themselves.
B.They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C.They will send out signals to ask for food.
D.They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
【2】How is the wood wide web linked by fungi?
A.By making noises with their roots.
B.By spreading chemicals to each other.
C.By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
D.By leading to bad effects.
【3】What is the writer’s purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To give people hope for further studies.
B.To praise scientists for their great achievements.
C.To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D.To encourage people to grow more plants.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The secret language of plants
B.The plants that make sounds
C.The study on the wood wide web
D.The study on the wasps
25、 Uncle Fat is a monkey in Thailand. He is often seen asking for junk food and soda from visitors. He also has some followers who often deliver (递送) him food.

26、Alice was a student in a secondary school. The school was on the other side of the street from my house. Every day. I watched her play basketball after school from my house. She played very well, much better than any other of her classmates. And she never stopped. She practised over and over again, sometimes until it was very dark.
One day, I asked her, “why do you practise so hard? You are playing very well.”
“That's because I want to play in the city basketball team,” she looked at me and said proudly. “But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard.” I was moved by her great courage.
Another day, I saw her crying on the grass, instead of playing basketball. I walked across the street and sat down by her side.
“Why are you crying, girl?” I asked.
“The coach of the city basketball team told me that I couldn't go on playing basketball because I was too short.”
But some days later, I saw her playing basketball again, practising even harder than before. I was curious(好奇的) and asked her the reason. “My father told me if my dream is big enough, nothing can stop me.” I was moved again.

27、Recently, researchers in Israel have done an experiment and found that goldfish are able to navigate (导航) on land after receiving around 10 driving lessons.
The experiment was performed by a research team at the Ben-Gurion University. It was made to see whether goldfish could find their way in a very different environment. Researchers developed a robotic car that could drive forward, backward and from side to side. They called the car FOV—“Fish Operated Vehicle” (鱼驱动车). A goldfish was placed inside a water box on the FOV. Using a set of wheels with a camera system, the FOV recorded the fish’s movements and swimming directions, and then moved in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish. They placed the car in a small room with a pink target (目标) on one side. The fish would get food when the car touched the target. After a few days of training, the fish navigated to the target. At first, it took them about half an hour to drive to the target. But by the end of the experiment, they were able to complete the same task in less than a minute. Shachar Givon, one of the researchers, said, “As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike or to drive a car knows, it is challenging at first.”
Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target, but they also weren’t fooled by false targets of other colors. They were also able to get free when the car hit a wall. Although the fish may not have realized they were moving on land, these results show that a fish has the ability to navigate outside its nature environment of water. It can enrich scientific knowledge of animals’ navigation skills.
【1】What is the purpose of the goldfish experiment?
A.To see if goldfish could tell different colors.
B.To see if goldfish could find food and living places.
C.To see if goldfish could navigate in a different environment.
D.To see if goldfish could ride a bike or drive a car like humans.
【2】What can be learned about the FOV?
A.It was placed inside a water box.
B.It could follow the fish’s movements.
C.It was driven by a camera system.
D.It could control the fish’s directions.
【3】The goldfish would get food as long as the car ________.
A.touched the pink target
B.moved in the small room freely
C.avoided hitting a wall
D.touched the targets of other colors
【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Good Use of a Robotic Car.
B.An Experiment on Animals.
C.Goldfish’s Ability to Navigate on Land.
D.Goldfish’s Skills to Drive a Car on Land.
