【題目】
Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation—their young trees?
Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist (生態(tài)學(xué)家) at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex (復(fù)雜的) than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin (達(dá)爾文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (營養(yǎng)) such as nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神經(jīng)元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all.
Simard talks about "Mother trees". These are usually the largest, oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These "Mother trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.
"We didn't take any notice of it," Simard says sadly. "Mother trees" move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【1】The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________.
A.compete for survivalB.protect their own wealth
C.depend on each otherD.provide support for dying trees
【2】"Mother trees" are very important because they ________.
A.look the largest in size in the forestB.pass on nutrition to young trees
C.bring more wealth to humansD.know more about the "tree societies"
【3】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.trees aren't as complex as we think
B.Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard
C.if "Mother trees" are cut down, they won't make difference to young trees
D.trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks

【題目】
Portia gave the decision. “One pound of the merchant’s (商人) flesh (肉) is yours. It is what the contract (合同) says. You may take his flesh!”
Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” exclaimed Portia. “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?”
“Yes, that’s right,” said Shylock. He wondered what the wise young judge was going to say. “Well,” said the young judge, “I have read the contract carefully, and it does not say anything about taking his blood. It says ‘a(chǎn) pound of flesh’. You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood. If you take any of his blood, the duke (公爵) will take everything you own!”
Now it was Graziano’s turn to bless the judge and call him wise.
“You wanted justice (公平),” Portia told Shylock, “and you’ll have more justice than you wanted.”
Shylock didn’t want to give everything he owned to the duke. He decided not to take his pound of flesh. He said he would take the money.
“Give me ninety thousand dollars,” he said, “and I will have pity on Antonio and let him go.”
Bassanio was happy to give him the money. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.
“Wait!” Portia said again. “He does not want the money. It is not written in the contract.”
Shylock said he just wanted to have his money back and wouldn’t even need interest. Bassanio was ready to give it to him, but again Portia stopped him.
“He said he only wanted the thing written in the contract.”
Shylock understood that he would not get his pound of flesh. He understood that he would not get his money. He decided to go home.
“Wait!” said Portia, for the third time. “The law of Venice, says that if you plan to kill a citizen of Venice, you will lose everything that you own. Half of what you have will belong to the person you tried to kill, and the other half will belong to the duke.”
