sudoku is a new choice. sudoku consists of (由组成)the japanesecharacters su ( meaning“number”）and doku ( meaning“single”）, but it was not invented in japan. it was created by howard games in 1979.the puzzle was first introduced into japan by nikoli puzzle company in 1984. in 1986, kaji maki, the president of nikoli made the rules strict and clear. soon in the same year sudoku became popular in japan. in november 2004，the times a british newspaper, first printed it in the newspaper. it became an international hit in 2005. now sudoku becomes very popular all over the world. the rule of the puzzle is to fill in the grids (格子）so that every row, every 33 box has the numbers 1 to 9. here is a sudoku. please relax and enjoy. its fun.

they dont make sounds；they dont seem to act on anything. but as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. and the language is a chemical (化学物质).over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighbouring plants. these chemical warnings can spread information about one plants disease or infestation (虫害)，so other plants can protect themselves. but how plants receive and act on the information exactly is still mysterious (神秘的）.in this weeks science magazine, researchers in japan offered some explanations. they have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.the scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest (害虫）.to start out，they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube (管子）. one plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. the downwind plants were later exposed (暴露的）to the pest. the results showed that plants near sick neighbours before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.they found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. the chemical is called hexvic. the scientists discovered where hexvic came from, and put it over healthy plants. those plants were then able to produce hexvic. researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. how do they know when to protect themselves? they are warned first by their friendly plant neighbours.it is not a simple story , and it may be happening in many other plants besides tomatoes. it may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. in a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.( )57. the underlined word “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _here.a. reportedb. followedc. doubtedd. developed( )58. for scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest? place the infested plant upwind. place the uninfested plant downwind. expose the downwind plants to the pest. grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.a.b. c.d.( )59. you can put the sentence “the researchers also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants. at the beginning of paragraph_.a. 3b. 4c. 5 d.6()60. which of the following can be the best title of this passage?a.communicating plants and terrible diseasesb.talking plants and friendly warningsc.protecting plants and clear informationd. growing plants and mysterious chemicals五、单词拼写（10分）61. on the last day of his trip to japan, he made a big _(决定).62. they have searched for some_ (宝贵的)information about their trip to hong kong.63. never do anything_（违反）the law, or you will be punished.64. she was lying _(醒着的）in her be
