15.A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world.They don't move; they don't make sounds,they don't seem to act on anything.But as is often the case,plants talk to each other all the time.And the language is chemical.
Over the years,scientists have reported that different types of plants,from trees to tomatoes,give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants.These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant's disease or infestation(蟲害),so other plants can protect themselves.But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.
In this week's Science Magazine,researchers in Japan offered some explanations.They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害蟲).To start out,they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子).One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind.The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest.The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.
They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants.The chemical is called HexVic.The scientists discovered where HexVic come from,and put it over healthy plants.Those plants were then able to produce HexVic.Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases.How do they know when to protect themselves?They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.
It is not a simple story,and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes.It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us.In a word,we know that plants not only communicate,but also look out for one another.

42.The underlined"traced"in the fourth paragraph probably meansB here.
A.reported
B.followed
C.doubted
D.developed
43.For scientists,which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?C
①Place the infested plant upwind.
②Place the uninfested plant downwind.
③Expose the downwind plants to the pest.
④Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.
A.③①②④
B.③④①②
C.④①②③
D.④③①②
44.You can put the sentence"The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants."At the beginning ofD.
A.Paragraph 3
B.Paragraph 4    
C.Paragraph 5    
D.Paragraph 6
45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?B
A.Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases 
B.Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings
C.Protecting Plants and Clear Information  
D.Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals.

分析 短文講了一項新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)植株之間交流是危險的警告.植株之間的交流就是一種化學物質.科學家觀察了害蟲在植株上滋生的過程,發(fā)現(xiàn)在被害蟲感染的植株上有一種化學物質HexVic.這種物質放在健康的植株上,也會產生這些物質.因此要確保植株健康,首先要有友好的鄰居.總之,植株之間不僅交流,而且要互相小心.

解答 答案:42.B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)上文They have found out one chemical message 他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一條化學信息,和下文all the way from beginning to end.從開始到結束.可知結合選項,應是說他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一條化學信息,從頭到尾都在追蹤它.此處traced意為跟蹤,故選B.
43.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內容及其句子To start out,they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子).One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind.The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest.可知科學家觀察害蟲在植株上滋生的步驟為:首先他們在兩個由管子連接獨立的塑料空間種上植株,一棵植株被感染上害蟲,放在迎風的地方,另一棵植株沒有被感染,被放在順風的地方.不久順風地方的植株也暴露在害蟲面前.可知正確的順序為④①②③.故選C.
44.D 細節(jié)推理題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段句子They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants.可知他們在被暴露的植株上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種化學物質,故在此之前應是科學家把被暴露的植株和沒被暴露的植株進行比較,才會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們之間的差別.因此這句話應出現(xiàn)在第6段.故選D.
45.B 主旨歸納題.根據(jù)整篇文章內容及其第一段句子A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.一項新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),植物相互溝通警告危險.可知本文是圍繞著對植物之間互相交流帶來的危險警告.故選B.

點評 在通讀全文的基礎上,根據(jù)全文大意,展開邏輯思維,瞻前顧后,認真觀察選項,仔細推敲,確定最佳答案.
