Optimistic.C. Objective.D. Conservative.D“What we define as pain usually has to do with a nervous system,” Anke Stepphun, an ecologist at the Free University of Berlin, says. When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send an alert to your brain. Your brain decodes that signal as burning pain, which causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done. Plants dont have nerves or brains, so they cant feel pain like we do. “But plants definitely do recognize when something is hurting them，” Steppuhn says. And since they cant escape a potentially dangerous situation, they need other ways of fighting back.The biggest threat to a plants life is getting eaten. Some plants stop herbivores from chewing on them by growing thorns or sharp little hairs，like a rose or a cactus does. Other plants produce bad-tasting or even poisonous chemicals, which force a would-be attacker to abandon its meal.But a plant called bittersweet nightshade does something even more ingenious, Steppuhn discovered. When a slug chews holes in a nightshades leaf, liquid begins dripping out of the edges of the wound, almost as if the plant were bleeding. The liquid is sugary nectar, and it happens to be a favorite food of ants. In order to collect the nectar, the ants swarm all over the injured nightshade plant and attack anything that stands in their way.Plants also release certain chemicals into the air when they are being eaten. People usually cant detect these subtle smells. But wasps can. When a wasp senses a cry for help, it races to the scene of the crime. If it finds the right kind of insects chowing down on the plant, the wasp interrupts the bug meal by laying its eggs inside the bugs body. Although plants may look like passive victims, they have armies of cold-blooded killers at their beck and call.12. Why does author give us the example about touching a hot stove in Para. 1?A. To explain pain is a nervous sensation.B. To prove the nervous system is part of the body.C. To advise people to keep away from a hot stove.D. To state how the nervous system carries messages.13. According to the passage, which statement is NOT correct?A. The central nervous system is responsible for human pain.B. Plants don5t feel pain the same way people do.C. A cactus protects itself by producing bad chemicals.D. Some plants can rely on animals to protect themselves.14. Which animal attack slugs to get to a plants sweet liquid?A. Wasps.B. Ants.C. Bees.D. Snails.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. How plants act when they sense danger.B. How the humans nervous system works.C. How the plants call wasps to kill their enemies.D. Why plants cant feel pain like people do.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Using a child safety seat is the best way to protect kids when traveling by car.
