【題目】 When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals which are called VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Exactly.Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants release smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true communication.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(親密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. The world is .
【1】Does a leafy plant sit quietly when it is under attack?
【2】What does a plant do when it is under attack?
【3】How can scientists know that there is someone listening to the crying?
【4】What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraphs 3?
【5】From the scientists' studies, can plants protect themselves against insects or really talk to each other?
【6】What can be filled in the blank at end of the passage?

【題目】Choose the best answer (根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容,選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢浮?/span>)
Students across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a lot of inventions that they hope will one day be marketable. Here are three examples from the minds of China's young inventors.
Foot-Controlled Mouse
This new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help disable people when surfing the Internet.
The new invention is called a "surf mouse", and looks like a pair of blue slippers.(拖鞋) When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking the left mouse button; when people press with their heels, (腳后跟)they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can view Web pages.
Dirty Water Filter(過濾器)
The "pump (泵) of life", a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long and has a diameter of four centimeters. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful substances.
Rain, fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief.(救濟(jì)) Pan told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan. If they had sent water-purifying equipment instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.
Transformer Vehicle (變壓器多功能車)
The multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the size of tyres (輪胎)and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier.(行李架) The name Tranfus is a contraction of "transforming for us." Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into luggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesn't think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.(投資)

Cars will talk to other cars,your computer,your phone and almost any other device(設(shè)備).They'll help drivers save energy and watch out for other drivers and walkers.
