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 insects. 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 are the wood wide web linked by fungi?

A．By making noises with their roots.

B．By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.

C．By sharing food and information with each other.

D．By spreading chemicals to each other.

【3】What is the writer’s intention 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 inspire people to communicate with plants.

【4】What is the structure of the passage?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The Secret Language of Plants

B．The Study about the Plant Warning System

25、Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb(拇指)”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.

Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?

26、She was returning from teaching out in a small community . It was a moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.

She remembered back to when she had first started teaching out in small communities. In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been shot (中枪) in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.

Her family didn’t become concerned (关心的) about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.

Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.

The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.

28、   Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon b【1】"the most famous detective in the world." What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.

In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr. Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood's plan to c 【2】 the world with black  "magic".

Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our  own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.

Rule No. 1: Justice（正义）is the most important.

No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The d 【3】is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.

Rule No. 2: Have sharp eyes.

Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man's footprints and q 【4】ind out his personal information like age and  habits.

Rule No. 3: A good a 【5】is a great help.

Even though Holmes has knowledge about many s 【6】, such as chemistry, botany（植物学）and anatomy（解剖学）, he still needs Dr. Watson's help to solve mysteries. You should also have someone to help you, especially if you don't know as much as Holmes.

Rule No. 4: Logic（逻辑）is the key.

A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you'd better think carefully. If you can't work it out, don't be a 【7】. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.
