can kill insects in order to get additional nutrients. new research shows that they catch and kill small insects with their own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.professor mark chase, of kew and queen mary, university of london, said, the cultivated (改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs. tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. they do trap small insects on a regular basis. they do kill insects.the number of these carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. among them are species of petunia (矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. researchers at royal botanical gardens kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.it is thought that the technique was developed in the wild to get necessary nutrients in poor quality soil and even various plants grown in your vegetable garden still have the ability.the researchers, publishing their finding in the botanical journal of the linnean society, said, “we may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “we are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants,” they added.72. tomatoes and potatoes kill insects to _ .a. get more sticky hairsb. make themselves grow

from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesnt always come home with them. airline identification tags（标签） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. and passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.the airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. they dont keep them, since theyre not in the warehouse business. and by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.so once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of scottsboro, alabama, buys them. the “unclaimed baggage center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of alabama. more than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the stores shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. you can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.the stores own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. the unclaimed baggage center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.the store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物） have been preserved. they include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an egyptian pharaohs tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.statistics indicate

(2009安徽,c)改编sometimes,the simplest ideas are the best.for example,to absorb heat from the sun to heat water,you need large,flat,black surfaces.one way to do that is to build those surfaces specially,on the roofs of buildings.but why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already,in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads?ten years ago,this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt,a dutch engineer.he finally persuaded his boss to follow it up.the result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.the heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes.most of them run from one side of the street to the other,just under the asphalt road.some,however,dive deep into the ground.when the street surface gets hot in summer,water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.at a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers(交换器) have been built.the hot water from the street runs through these exchangers,warming the groundwater,before returning to the surface through another pipe.the aquifer is thus used as a heat store.in winter,the working system is changed slightly.water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer.this water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up.after performing that task,it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.1.which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?()a.arian de bondt got his idea from his boss.b.large,flat,black surfaces need to be built in cities.c.the dutch engineers system has been widely used.d.heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.2.for what purpose are the diving pipes used?()a.to absorb heat from the sun.b.to store heat for future use.c.to turn solar energy into heat energy.d.to carry heat down below the surface.3.from the last paragraph we can learn that .a.some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterb.the system can do more than warming up the buildingc.the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaced.less heat may be collected in winter than in summer4.what is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?()a.what we shall do if the system goes wrong.b.what we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.c.how the system cools the building in summer.d.how the system collects heat in spring and autumn.语篇解读:城市的黑色柏油路有了用武之地,可以用来收集热量,起到冬暖夏凉的功效。答案及剖析:1.d事实细节题。根据第二段的最后一句可知。2.d事实细节题。根据第四段第一句中的.takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.可知。3.b事实细节题。根据第五段最后一句的after performing that task,it is pumped.可知答案。4.c推理判断题。文章主要从两方面阐述通过柏油路储热的好处,首先是冬天供暖,下面应该讲述夏天降温。【长难句子分析】 the result主语 is系动词 that their building is now表语从句heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system表语从句(that relies on the surface of the road outside)定语从句表语从句。结果是通过依靠外面的路面这样一种系统,他们的建筑物冬天得到供暖,夏天得到降温。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。when youre an employee of a company, no matter the size, its common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. but there is another way to move aroundby creating a new position for yourself. i did this several years ago, though i wasnt actively looking for a different job. in 2007, i was hired at the transamerica life insurance company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. i processed requests for distributions from our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. to solve the problem, id mail the person a letter. the company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. the longer i worked with the letters, the more i saw how they could be improved. some had overlapping information and could be combined. some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. i also noticed that industry terminology(专业术语) wasnt standard across all the versions. when i told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. she said i should stop what id been doing and start the new work. in a relatively short time, i was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. it was an informal job change until a managers meeting several months later. at that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the divisions entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. my manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the jobme. the position was still considered temporary when i took on the extra tasks, but i was able to show that the work had value, and i was officially promoted and given a raise in november 2009.31. according to paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?a .the author admired those who got a promotion in his company.b. the author tried his best to get a promotion in his companyc. the author was eager to seek another job.d. it is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据its common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department.可知看见我们周围的人们改变工作或职位是不奇怪的。故选d。32. which of the following problems with the letters is not mentioned in the passage?a. some information needed to be united. b. some informatio
