　　(2024· 泉州五校?？?

　　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 (紐帶) 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.

　　The great and good do not die，even in this world.Preserved in books，their spirits walked abroad.The book is a living voice.It is an intellect (智者) to which one still listens.

　　1．The writer introduces the topic of the passage by________.

　　A．describing life experience of great writers

　　B．telling his own story of reading good books

　　C．presenting the best thoughts in good books

　　D．comparing good books to good friends in life

　　A．Readers feel sympathy for the author.

　　B．Readers live together with the author.

　　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 (有機體)．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
