Grass doesnt cry when you cut it; flowers dont shout when theyre picked. But this view of the world couldnt be more wrong. Plants talk to each other all the time. Their language is one of chemicals. Over the years, scientists have found that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, send compounds(复合物)into the air to help neighboring plants. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still a mystery. Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan looked at tomato plants that had been bitten by insects. To start out, they grew plants in two plastic bags connected by a tube(管子). One plant had been bitten by insects. The other was not bitten. They found that when insects bite plant leaves, the plants dont sit quietly. They send a chemical called hexvic into the air. Humans cant notice it, but these chemicals carry a smell that neighboring plants can notice. This way, neighboring plants realize the danger and begin to give off more hexvic to protect themselves. The same scientists continued their research by placing insects on the plants that had not been bitten. The plants were able to kill nearly 50 percent of the invaders, much more than their neighbor. It was surprising that the plants that had not been bitten didnt send the chemical until the received a warning message from their infested(受侵的)neighbor, the scientists said. These findings could be used to help farmers with the control of the insects which do harm to their plants. （1）When bitten by insects, the tomato plant _ . A . stayed quiet without doing anythingB . died immediately after thatC . sent out a chemical to warn othersD . wouldnt be hurt again by the same insects（2）What does the underlined word invaders in Paragraph 5 refer to? A . ScientistsB . Insects.C . Compounds.D . Farmers.（3）What can we learn from the research? A . Tomato plants are easily bitten by insects.B . The smell of hexvic is a kind of warning message.C . Hexvic can help plants kill all the insects near them.D . Plants wont give off chemicals until they are hurt.（4）Which of the following is True according to the passage? A . Plants dont communicate with each other.B . Scientists did the research with two plants bitten by insects.C . The findings of the research help farmers to protect their plants.D . Communication among plants is no longer a mystery.（5）Whats the best title of the passage? A . Growing TomatoesB . Talking PlantsC . Harmful ChemicalsD . Scientific Researches19. （10分）阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。 As we are getting older and older, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse.But not everyone is like this. Some people are super-agers, who are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much younger people.Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But the change of the super-agers goes much more slowly. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory (记忆) was shown to be thicker in super-agers. When we look at a super-agers brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. They usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends.Growing old, she adds, does not have to be depressing (令人沮丧的) and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, well understand that not all getting old makes us sad.Rogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees- meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-agers mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most. The science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the research offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.（1）Super-agers are people _. A . over 80 with older brainsB . over 80 with younger brainsC . under 80 with older brainsD . under 80 with younger brains（2）This passage is probably from a _. A . magazineB . dictionaryC . noticeD . menu（3）Which of the following may be the ending of the last paragraph? A . Its impossible for us to become super-agers.B . All of us can become super-agers naturally.C . We may also become super-agers if we follow the advice.D . We can become super-agers without following the advice.（4）We can infer from the passage that _. A . super-agers are common and very easy to find in our livesB . scientists have found out why a super-agers mind works so well.C . few super-agers like traveling, playing sports and doing readingD . more and more scientists may get into the study of the super-agers20. （10分）阅读理解 Traveling is very interesting.
