It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didnt know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path.In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast. In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they cannot get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons(毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.（1）We can learn from the passage that _. A . kudzu mostly grows in the northern AmericaB . kudzu was brought to Japan from AmericaC . kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weatherD . American government has never supported to plant kudzu（2）The underlined word tough in Paragraph 4 probably means _. A . not easily brokenB . widely usedC . hard to growD . important to ones health（3）The last paragraph is mostly about _. A . how quickly the vine growsB . how people use the vineC . why people want to kill the vineD . why people eat the vine（4）The writer uses the title The Vine That Ate the South most probably to _. A . let readers know kudzu is a vineB . interest readers in a humorous wayC . tell readers the vine is a kind of foodD . get readers to realize the passage is serious6. （10分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项The Petit Appetit CookbookList Price: $35.00Price: $23.10You save: $11.90(34% off)Product Description: Fresh, healthy meals that give little mouths something to smile aboutIn the Petit Appetit Cookbook, mother and professional cook Lisa Barnes offers healthy foods to help create delicious menus and begin a lifetime of proper eating habits for babies and very young children.Everyday Raw Express (Paperback)List Price: $19.99Price: $13.57You Save: $6.42(32% off)Product Description: Many people love eating raw food, but often the recipes take hours or even a period of several days to prepare.
