　　(2012· 泉州五校模考)

　　A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps.One should always live in the best company，whether it is of books or of men.

　　A good book may be among the best of friends.It is the most patient and cheerful of companions.It always receives us with the same kindness，amusing and instructing us in youth， and comforting us in age.

　　Men often discover their similarity to each other by the common love they have for a book just as two people sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third.There is an old proverb，“Love me，love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this：“Love me，love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond (纽带) of union.Men can think，feel，and sympathize with each other through their favorite author.They_live_in_him_together，and_he_in_them.

　　A good book is often the best container of a life preserving the best that life could think out，for the world of a man’s life is，for the most part，the world of his thoughts.Thus the best books are treasures of good words and the golden thoughts，which become our steady companions and comforters.

　　Books are by far the most lasting products of human effort.Temples and statues decay (腐朽)，but good books survive.Time is of no account with great thoughts，which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds ages ago.

　　(2012·湖北武汉4月)

　　Talking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale.But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways.To understand them，scientists say，we just have to learn their language.Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.

　　“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体)．They can communicate with giant bacteria，with other plants and with insects.They do this chemically，” said Cahill，an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.

　　Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”．Cahill says studies have shown，for example，that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions.Plants have an ability，for example，to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack.Jack Schultz，a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri，says when a plant senses that it’s being eaten，it cannot walk away from trouble；on the contrary，it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.

　　“Their language is a chemical language，and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable，and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” Schultz explained.

　　“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” Schultz recalled.“But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves，even though they were not part of the experiment.”

　　Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals.Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.

　　In the end，plants’ ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals，cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.

　　5．The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can________.

　　A．communicate with other living things in a chemical way

　　B．hardly react to any sudden change in temperature

　　C．use a very special chemical language which is familiar to us

　　D．respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals

　　6．When being eaten by an insect，the plant will________.

　　A．walk away from trouble

　　B．change its chemistry to kill the insect

　　C．release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for help

　　D．give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest

　　7．The underlined word “alert” most probably means “________”．

　　A．warn

　　B．protect

　　C．threaten

　　D．allow

　　8．Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Communication between Plants

　　B．A Chemical “Language”

　　C．Plants Can Talk

　　D．How Plants Protect Themselves

　　详解答案

　　课时作业(六)　

　　.单项填空

　　1．解析：　句意为：——你愿意收到她的信吗？——当然。信不信由你，我梦到她好几个晚上了。what’s more另外；that is to say那就是说；in other words换句话说；believe it or not信不信由你。根据句意，故选D。

　　答案：　D

　　2．解析：　句意为：从这里到购物中心距离很短，所以如果你愿意可以走着去。第二空后的shopping center在本句中表示特指，故用定冠词，排除A、B两项；distance作“距离”讲时可作可数名词，在本句中表示泛指，故用不定冠词。

　　答案：　D

　　3．解析：　句意为：有二百多万农民，占这个省份总人口数的三分之二。空格处表示“组成；构成”之意，与farmers为逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用现在分词making up。A、D两项意思为“由……组成”，不符合句意。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　The new dictionary与create之间为逻辑动宾关系，所以要用被动语态。由next year可知要用动词不定式表示将来要发生的动作。

　　答案：　C

　　5．解析：　由believe的语气可以判断，医生相信抽烟和某些癌症之间有“绝对的(definite)”联系。accessible可进入的；fantastic美妙的；independent独立的。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　本题考查介词。由“约翰被解雇”可以推断“他在工作的时候睡着了。”over作介词可以当“在……期间”讲。

　　答案：　D

　　7．解析：　先行词为children spending too much time on computers，且非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，所以要用which来引导。

　　答案：　A

　　8．解析：　本题考查比较级的修饰语。由more important可知，空格处应填比较级的修饰语。常见的比较级的修饰语有：much，a great deal，far，even，still，a bit，a little，rather，any等。very，fairly，quite不能用来修饰比较级。

　　答案：　D

　　9．解析：　由I’m having trouble可知，我跟不上班里的其他同学。keep up with赶上，追上，符合句意。come up with提出，想出。have trouble doing sth.在……方面有困难。

　　答案：　C

　　10．解析：　句意为：他很担心，因为他丢了装有护照、身份证和许多钱的包。contain表示“装有”与bag构成逻辑上的主动关系，因此用containing，作后置定语修饰bag。

　　答案：　D

　　11．解析：　have access to sth.为固定短语，表示“得以使用……，进入……的权利”。

　　答案：　C

　　12．解析：　句意为：依我看来，与其他好学生相比，汤姆是一个更令人满意的学生。第一空可用compared with/to表示“与……相比”，在句中作状语；第二空为a more satisfying一个更令人满意的。

　　答案：　D

　　13．解析：　考查it的用法。it作形式宾语，替代后面的不定式to keep in touch with...friends。

　　答案：　B

　　14．解析：　考查with复合结构。因为concentrate与his attention之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已发生，故用动词-ed形式作宾补。句意为：约翰在聚精会神地做作业，他没有注意到我进来。

　　答案：　B

　　15．解析：　考查连词。句意为：你五分钟就可以走到那儿的，可你还打的去，真是太傻了。根据句意可知此处用when引导状语从句，意为“既然，考虑到”。though意为“尽管，虽然”；as long as只要，so that为了，都不符合题意。

　　答案：　D

　　.阅读理解

　　语篇解读：　本文是一篇优美的散文。一本好书就是最好的朋友。好书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库。

　　1．解析：　写作手法题。根据第一段内容和第二段第一句可知D项正确。

　　答案：　D

　　2．解析：　句意理解题。根据“Men can think，feel，and sympathize with each other through their favorite author.”可知，画线句子的意思是人们与自己喜欢的作家有着相同的感受，故C项正确。

　　答案：　C

　　3．解析：　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知，A项正确。其他选项均与文章内容不符。

　　答案：　A

　　4．解析：　主旨大意题。全文围绕书是人类的朋友展开描写，说明一个人应该和好书相伴，故C项正确。

　　答案：　C

　　语篇解读：　本文是一篇科普类文章，主要讲述了“植物的特殊语言”及其功能，以及这种特殊语言对农业生产可能产生的指导意义。

　　5．解析：　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体)．..They do this chemically.”可知，植物能够与其他生物通过化学方式进行交流。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“when a plant senses that it’s being eaten...on the contrary，it will release a chemical vapor...”以及文章倒数第二段中的“Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.”可知，当植物被昆虫吞食的时候，植物会释放一种化学蒸汽，这种化学蒸汽能够吸引有益的昆虫来袭击害虫。

　　答案：　D

　　7．解析：　词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知，植物在遭受攻击时会释放一种化学物质，这种化学物质有两种功能，一是警示危险的存在，二是发出求助信息。由此可知，此处的alert应该意为“警示，警惕”，即warn。

　　答案：　A

　　8．解析：　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了“植物的特殊语言”及其功能。C项既能概括文章的主题又生动风趣，尤其是talk一词充满了拟人化的幽默感。

　　答案：　C
