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 at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.
Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by 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 cut down, it affects all.
Simard talks about "Mother Trees". These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. 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” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing 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 a chance.” If we could send this message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
(1)Trees can share resources with other ones by .

(2)"Mother Trees" are very important because they .
A.bring wealth to the scientists

(4)What would be the best title for the passage?

【答案】
(1)B
(2)B
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】文章介紹樹(shù)和樹(shù)之間不是你死我活的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)關(guān)系,它們之間是相互依賴(lài)的,快要死的樹(shù)會(huì)將自己的營(yíng)養(yǎng)傳給小樹(shù)讓它們更好的成長(zhǎng),人們?nèi)绻肋@些現(xiàn)象,就可以更好的保護(hù)這些樹(shù)。
⑴細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段passing around the resource……by miles of underground fungi networks……give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. 可知森林里的樹(shù)木是通過(guò)一個(gè)龐大的地下真菌網(wǎng)絡(luò)使得整個(gè)森林生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的樹(shù)木得到一樣的營(yíng)養(yǎng)以保證他們的健康。故選B。
⑵推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段Mother Trees” are connected to all the other trees……pass on the wealth to the next generation可知母樹(shù)將營(yíng)養(yǎng)傳遞給下一代。故選B。
⑶詞義猜測(cè)。it出現(xiàn)在文章最后一段:實(shí)際上it指代的是第四段提到的內(nèi)容,人們砍倒快死的mother trees是不知道樹(shù)的社會(huì)的依存關(guān)系,可知it指的是“樹(shù)的社會(huì)”是怎么運(yùn)作的,故選B。
⑷主旨大意。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容,可知文章介紹樹(shù)和樹(shù)之間不是你死我活的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)關(guān)系,它們之間是相互依賴(lài)的,快要死的樹(shù)會(huì)將自己的營(yíng)養(yǎng)傳給小樹(shù)讓它們更好的成長(zhǎng),從第一段的句子:Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?可知作者想要表達(dá)的是樹(shù)要比我們想象的要更加令人驚嘆,所以選D。
