B.unsuspected C.unsupported D.complicated【答案】BCAC【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。一项尚未发表的研究发现，植物在受到压力时会发出声音，不同类型的压力导致了不同的声音。【解析】28.本题为细节理解题。根据第一段中Now,reportedNewScientist,theyhavebeenrecordedmakingsoundswhenstressed.现在，据《新科学家》报道，他们已经被录下了在压力下发声的声音。以及第二段中Inayet-to-be-publishedstudy,ItzhakKhaitandhisteamatTelAvivUniversity,inIsrael,foundthattomatoandtobaccoplantscanmakeultrasonic(超声的)noises.Theplants“cryout”duetolackofwater,orwhentheirstems(茎)arecut.在一项尚未发表的研究中，以色列特拉维夫大学的伊扎克·凯特(ItzhakKhait)和他的团队发现，番茄和烟草植物可以发出超声波。由于缺水或茎被剪断时，植物会“哭泣”。可知，Khait和他的团队发现植物能够发出声音来应对压力。故选B项。29.本题为细节理解题。根据第五段中Inmostcases,itcorrectlyidentifiedwhetherthestresswascausedbydrynessoracut,basedonasound’sintensityandfrequency.Water-hungrytobaccoappearstomakeloudersoundsthancuttobacco,forexample.在大多数情况下，它能根据声音的强度和频率，正确地识别出压力是由干燥引起的还是由切割引起的。例如，缺水的烟草似乎比切下来的烟草发出的声音更大。可知，切下来的烟草发出的声音似乎比干旱胁迫下的烟草发出的声音要弱。故选C项。30.本题为主旨大意题。根据第六段中Asclimatechangecausesmoredroughts,theysaidthiswouldbeimportantinformationforfarmers.“Thesoundsthatdrought-stressedplantsmakecouldbeusedinprecisionagriculture(精准农业),”saidAnneVisscherattheRoyalBotanicGardens,Kew,intheUK.他们说，随着气候变化导致更多的干旱，这对农民来说将是重要的信息。“受干旱胁迫的植物发出的声音可以用于精准农业，”英国皇家植物园的AnneVisscher说。可知，本段主要是讲述了研究发现植物能发出声音对农业的影响，也就是研究在农业的潜在应用价值。故选A项。31.本题为词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中EdwardFarmer,attheUniversityofLausanne,Switzerland,isdoubtful.Hesaidthattheideaofmothslisteningtoplantsis“alittletoospeculative”.瑞士洛桑大学的EdwardFarmer对此表示怀疑。他说，让飞蛾听植物的声音这种想法“有点太___________了”。由doubtful可知EdwardFarmer不确定这种说法是否正确，因此猜测划线词speculative意为“未经证实的，推测性的”。故选C项。D（2020年湖南省郴州市高三第二次教学质量监测C）Thelatestsportscrazeisnotevenasport.Accordingtoarecentarticle,“e-sports”areattractingalargenumberofaudience.Ine-sports,playersandteamscompeteinpopularvideocomputergamessuchasDota2andOvenvatch.Fansfillarenastowatchtheactionliveonhugetelevisionscreens.Thegameshavegonewaypastkidsplayingagainsteachotherwhilesittingonasofaathome.TheInternational,amajorcompetitionforplayersofDota2,awarded$24millioninprizes,withthewinnertakinghomealmost$11million.Arecente-sportscompetitionattractedmorethan80,000fanstotheOlympicStadiuminBeijing,China.IhavetoadmitthatIamnotabigfanofcomputergames.Iknowthatsomegamescanbeeducational,butIthinktoomanykidsspendtoomuchtimesittinginfrontofascreenshootingspacealiens.Ithinkitwouldbebetterifkidsspentmoretimereadingorplayingrealsportssuchasbasketball,baseballandsoccer.Andpleasedon’ttellmethatcompetitivegamingisrealsportbecauseitrequireshand-eyecoordination.AccordingtomyAmericanHeritageDictionary,asportis“anactivityinvolvingphysicalexertionandskill.”Idon’tthinkanyoneworksupmuchofasweatplayingvideogames.Toooften,regularsportssendkidsakindofmessage.Competitionstartsearly,whenlotsofkidsarenotreadyfortheupsanddownsofgames.Tryoutsandtravelteamscomenext,givingtoomanykidsthemessagetheyare“notgood”atsports.Solotsofkidsquitsportsandstartplayingmorevideogames.Maybeeveryoneinyouthsports,includingcoaches,parentsandkids,shouldthinkmoreabouttheadvantagesofrealsports.8.Whatare“e-sports”accordingtothetext?A.Sportseventsontelevisionscreens.B.Videocomputergamecompetitions.C.ThelatestsportsintheOlympicGames.D.Easysportsgamesforkids.9.Whatmighttheauthorthinkof“e-sports”?A.Theyarenotinstructive.B.Theyshouldbebannedinschool.C.Theyneedtoomuchtimeandmoney.D.Theyhavesomenegativeinfluenceonchildren.10.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“exertion”inParagraph5mean?A.Growth.
