2016广东阳西县高考英语二轮阅读理解月练（1） 史地自然型阅读理解(二)animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. when an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. but plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. for example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grasseating animals. holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. this is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animals teeth.many plants also have chemical defenses. some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. when a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. this messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. the higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. a certain plant in china, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). a single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.1the holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals_aare not tall

simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. the only thing they might gain is weight. most american schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. some schools follow a year-round calendar. they hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. the national association for year-round education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. they were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. lead researcher paul von hippel said, “year-round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. they simply spread it out across the year.”across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. experts say this can be prevented. they note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.but calling them “summer school” could be a problem. the director of the summer learning center at johns hopkins, ron fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in chicago and baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. in american culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. the parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.31. according

perfectly normal to feel afraid. after all，animals do，too. “fear matters，”says karen warkentin，an ecologist.“its a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways.a frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell.a small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches.some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect.the first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying redeyed tree frogs in costa rica.in this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果冻一样的块状物)of their eggs to the undersides of leaves.the leaves hang on branches that dangle(悬挂)over ponds.after they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching.if they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule. as the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.if hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch sooner.it turns out that hatching early brings its own danger.once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them, too.staying in their eggs for 6 days，then，allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.this extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.1it can be inferred from the passage that fears_ahelp animals grow bigger and strongerbare less common among young animalschelp animals move a lot to fit the environmentdare more or less important for animals to survive2we are told in the passage that tree frogs_aface danger both inside their eggs and in the waterbwill grow fast if they fall into the water latercare surprisingly
