　　(2015·黑龙江大庆市高三第二次教学质量检测) We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world.They don’t move, they don’t make sounds and they don’t seem to respond to anything—at least not very quickly.But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot.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, release compounds (化合物) into the air to help neighboring plants.These chemical warnings all have the same purpose—to spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves.But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.

　　In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offered some explanations.They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.

　　The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest, the cutworm.The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants.They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants.The substance is called HexVic.When the scientists fed HexVic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%.The scientists identified the source of HexVic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the

　　cutwormkilling

　　HexVic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

　　It is a complex tale, 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. Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency.

　　【解题导语】　人们倾向于认为植物是大自然的装饰品。它们不能移动，不能发出声响，看起来不对任何事情作出反应。但是情况常常并非如此，植物一直都在说话。

　　5．How do plants help their neighbors?

　　A．They make use of winds.

　　B．They release some chemicals.

　　C．They identify the chemicals.

　　D．They are exposed early.

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds(化合物) into the air to help neighboring plants”可知，不同种类的植物通过释放一些化合物进而帮助附近的植物，即B项正确。

　　6．What’s the function of HexVic?

　　A．It damages the cutworm’s body.

　　B．It shows up more.

　　C．It cures the disease.

　　D．It sprays over healthy plants.

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“When the scientists

　　fed HexVic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%”和“Those plants were then able to start producing the cutwormkilling HexVic”可知，A项正确。

　　A．there are not chemical signals

　　B．the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species
