When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighbouring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds（挥发性有机化合物）, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attackers who were lunching now become lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbours. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbours, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbours just happened to "overhear" the cry. So, information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate（亲密的）than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.
24. What does a plant do when it is under attack
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals.
25. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in Paragraph 3
A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
26. What do scientists find from their studies
A. Plants can predict natural disasters.
B. Plants can protect themselves against insects.
C. Plants can talk to one another intentionally.
D. Plants can help their neighbours when necessary.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin's time were more imaginative.

Located in northern Manitoba on the west shore of Hudson Bay, Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere. But polar bears like it that way. They spend summers on the tundra（苔原）around Churchill. In autumn, they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form. Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt for ringed seals, their favourite food. October and November are the best polar bear viewing times. From tundra vehicles, visitors to Churchill observe the bears. Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities. Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears' migration route to view the vigorous creatures. These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements.
Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year, there is growing concern about the animals' future. Because Earth is getting warmer, the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in spring. As a result, polar bears have less time to hunt for seals. Polar bears can also find smaller animals, bird eggs and berries on land, but these kinds of food are not sufficient to support the animals.
Polar bears are also affected by plastic and chemicals that get into the ocean. A research project carried out in northern Europe has found high concentrations（浓度）of both plastic and chemicals in the tissue of polar bears. These materials and substances can damage the animals' internal organs, especially when the animals are not yet mature. Many people are researching polar bears' health. Their goal is to gather the information that is needed to help save these animals.
28. Which of the following best describes Churchill
A. Remote. B. Small. C. Historic. D. Busy.
29. What can we learn about polar bears
A. They are a threat to people.
B. They might migrate in October and November.
C. Their number is increasing steadily.
D. They mainly feed on bird eggs and berries.
30. How is the polar bears' hunting season changing
A. It's starting earlier. B. It's becoming colder. C. It's finishing later.
D. It's getting shorter.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Whether people should stop using plastic and chemicals.
B. Why people should keep the ocean clean.
C. How polar bears are endangered by pollution.
D. What people should do to learn more about polar bears.
D
Vinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet's population to ease hunger.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science ( CSRS ) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts.
This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world's supply of food will be much lower.
The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（乙酸盐）— the main component of vinegar.
After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died. It's hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive.
Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told a science journal that he's already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners.
Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn't as easy as just pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system," he said.
And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbours to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favourite flowers have died.
32. What is mentioned as a feature of the Arabidopsis
A. It produces acetate in wet conditions. B. It is mainly composed of acetate.
C. It can survive in nowhere but desert. D. It can be tolerant of drought.
33. Why did the scientists experiment further
A. To find a simple way of keeping the crops of farmers alive.
B. To add acetate to the soils of other plants to stop watering.
C. To check the effectiveness of the acetate to resist drought.
D. To treat the dried-up plants by adding acetate to them.
34. What is the author's attitude to the discovery
A. Objective. B. Unsupportive. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
35. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Vinegar could help end hunger B. Vinegar keeps plants living forever
C. How to survive climate change D. Advantages and functions of vinegar

Recently, I've been following a simple rule that is helping me overcome procrastination（拖延）and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time. 36 There are two parts of the "2-Minute Rule".
Part 1 — If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now.
37 For example, wash your dishes immediately after your meal, toss the laundry in the washing machine, take out the rubbish, send the email, and so on.
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.
Part 2 — When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes Obviously not. But every goal can be started in two minutes or less. 38
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals, but I beg to differ. The "2-Minute Rule" works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia（惯性）of life. 39 I love the "2-Minute Rule" because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.
The most important part of any new habit is getting started — not just the first time, but each time. It's not about performance. It's about consistently taking action.
I can't guarantee whether or not the "2-Minute Rule" will work for you. 40 Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds. Use this time to get one thing done. Go!
A. I call this little strategy the "2-Minute Rule".
B. And that's the purpose behind this little rule.
C. Here's what you need to know to stop procrastinating.
D. Once you start doing something, it's easier to continue doing it.
E. But I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it.
F. The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing.
G. It's surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less.

The cost of a smile
Kathy was a young woman in her twenties who worked in a small restaurant as a waitress. One day, as she went about her shift with her usual angry look, a kind old man walked in and sat down at the counter. He read the menu and politely told her what he wanted.
Kathy took his order, and yelled, "Your food will be ready soon." As she turned to leave, the man said, "A smile costs nothing." Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order, cleared his plates and gave him the bill, for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her, he smiled and thanked her. However, this only made her angrier.
A week went by, and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened. And each time Kathy took his order he would say, "A smile costs nothing."
But a week later, Kathy picked up a menu, wrote the words "I SMILE... $20" at the bottom, and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.
He came, and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu. The old man ordered as usual and added, "... and a smile, if you don't mind." Kathy was so surprised. She laughed out loud, "Now, now..." The man jokingly scolded, "I ordered a smile, not a laugh." So, Kathy put on a bright smile and said, "Coming right up, sir." And to her surprise, he left a $20 tip!
A few years went by, and the two bonded like family. Charlie, the kind old man, was a retired manager whose wife passed away long ago. He spent most of his time at home, with the exception of his frequent restaurant visits. Kathy spent her break time talking to him every day.

One possible version:
An interesting experiment
Recently, in order to build up our interest in learning biology, our teacher did an inspiring and interesting experiment, which I will never forget.
In the class, our teacher asked us to grow a little plant in a small box with a hole on it, after which we helped cover the plant and place it by the window. A few days later, when we removed the box, it’s surprising that the plant grew bigger, but not straight, bending to the hole, where some light could come in.
The experiment shows our life is just like the plant and we should try to adapt ourselves to the surroundings. Only in this way will we succeed in every field.
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
One day he didn’t come to the restaurant. She called his home, but no one answered. Being worried, Kathy went to his house only to find that he had died the day before. She couldn’t help crying bitterly. It was the kind man’s visits to the restaurant that made Kathy change her attitude to life and brought her many smiles, but now he has gone. Charlie having no family or close friends, Kathy gave the funeral for him.
Paragraph 2:
Several days after the funeral, Kathy received a very important letter in the postbox. It was from Charlie’s lawyer, in which was a cheque for $600,000! Kathy was surprised to notice a handwritten note reading: “Dear Kathy, by the time you read this, I have been gone. Here I had left my gratitude, for a smile is worth much more than $20, which is priceless.”

Text 10
W: An old lady and her husband lived on the second floor, and Daniel’s family lived in the flat above theirs. Daniel’s mother and the old lady were good friends. Sadly, though, the old lady died last month, and her husband could not live alone, so he had his grandson move in to live with him.
The grandson has become a problem to all the neighbours, especially to Daniel’s family. The walls are thin and he is too noisy. Daniel is used to a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood, but the young man likes to listen to the radio late at night. Sometimes he has friends over to visit and they make a lot of noise. That is too much for Daniel’s family.
Daniel’s mother once asked the old man politely if he was able to sleep well at night, but probably he didn’t understand. Even if he did and spoke to his grandson, the young man would not listen, so things would not change at all.
