apparently. because we can watch the neighbours react.some plants pump out 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 dont 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 wasnt a true, intentional back and forth.charles darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. our senses are weak. theres a whole lot going on.32. what does a plant do when it is under attack?a. it sends out certain chemicals. b. it gets help from other plants.c. it stands quietly d. it makes noises. 33. what does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?a. the insects gather under the table b. the attackers get attacked. c. the plants get ready to fight back. d. the perfumes attract natural enemies.34. scientists find from their studies that plants can .a. predict natural disasters b. help their neighbors when necessary.c. talk to one another intentionally d. protect themselves against insects35. what can we infer from the last paragraph?a. the word is changing faster than ever.b. people have stronger senses than beforec. the world is more complex than it seemsd. people in darwins time were more imaginative.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。其中有两项多余。we all postpone (拖延) sometimes. statistics show that 90 percent of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper until the night before. 36 this serious form of postponement can result in a student dropping out of school.according to recent studies, there are three main reasons that students postpone. first, many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time. in the end, these students often feel overwhelmed (打击的) and will put off doing many things they need to. 37 these students will often avoid doing something because they dont like it. a third reason is they are anxious about doing assignments well enough. 38_ do you recognize any of these signs in yourself?
