with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?ubc professor simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. although charles darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, simard shows just how wrong he was. in fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. this hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. she explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. when humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“we didnt take any notice of it .” simard says sadly. “dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” if we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.28. what would be the best title for the passage?a. old trees communicate like humans b. young trees are in need of protectionc. trees contribute to our society d. trees are more complex than you think29. in simards opinion, trees _a. compete for survival b. protect their own wealthc. depend on each other d. provide support for dying trees30. we can learn from the passage that_.a. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.b. charles darwin had the same thought as simard.c. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.d. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.31. the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_.a. how “tree societies” workb. how trees grow oldc. how forestry industry developsd. how young trees survive 答案28.d29.c30.c31.a考点：科技类阅读。 d we know the famous ones-the thomas edisons and the alexander graham bells -but what about the less famous inventors? what about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? shouldnt we know who they are? joan mclean thinks so. in fact, mclean, a professor of physics at mountain university in range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. in addition to learning who invented what, however, mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the why and how questions. according to mclean, when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. her students agree. one young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of mcleans statement. “if i had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention, said tommy lee, a senior physics major. “i never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive. lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. so, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? well, mary anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to new york city. the day was cold and stormy, but anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow by covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device for cleaning the window. still wondering about this when she returned home to birmingham, alabama, anderson started drafting out solutions. one of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. its hard to imagine driving without garrett a. morgans traffic light. its equally impossible to picture a world without katherine j. blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?32. by mentioning traffic light and windshield wiper, the author indicates that countless inventions are_. a. beneficial, because their inventors are famous b. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous c. not useful, because their inventors are less famous d. not useful, though their inventors are famous33. professor joan mcleans course aims to _. a. add color and variety to students campus life b. inform students of the windshield wipers invention c. carry out the requirements by mountain university d. prepare students to try their own invention34. tommy lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _ a. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer b. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper c. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm d. not related to professor joan mcleans lectures35. which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? a. how to help students to sell their inventions to producers? b. how to design a built-in device for cleaning the window? c. shouldnt we know who invented the windshield wiper? d. shouldnt we develop invention courses in universities? 【答案】32.b33.d34.b35.c【解析】试题分析:文章以雨刷器为例讲述了很多发明这不被人们熟知，但他们的发明确是意义非凡。32.b考察文章主旨题。根据文章what about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? shouldnt we know who they are?及today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations its hard to imagine driving without garrett a. morgans traffic light可知这两项发明的发明者虽然不被人们熟知但他们的发明却意义非凡，所以答案是b。33.d考察细节理解题。根据文章when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. 可知joan mclean教授课程的目的是启发学生尝试他们自己的发明，所以答案是d。34.b考察细节理解题。根据文章“if i had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention, said tommy lee, a senior physics major. “i never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive.可知tommy lee的发明是收到了雨刮器的鼓舞，所以答案是b。35.c考察文章大意题。文章介绍了不被人们熟知的雨刮器的发明者，所以答案是c。考点：科技类阅读第二节（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。universities around the country are doing everything they can to
