题目内容
2.Lichens (地衣) are difficult to see.They don't move.They often mix into the living place.You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.Lichens live on rocks,branches,houses,and even metal street signs.You can find these colorful organisms (微生物) almost everywhere-from deserts to rainforests,and from Antarctica to Africa.They've traveled in outer space,and some scientists think there might even be lichens on Mars.
What you probably don't realize is that a lichen is more than a single thing.It includes two different types of living organisms:a fungus (菌类) and an alga (藻类).Neither of these organisms is a plant,so the lichen isn't a plant either.
Through photosynthesis (光合作用),the alga gets the sun's energy to make food for the fungus,which is the place for the alga to live in.However,the alga cannot leave the fungus.
Around the world,scientists have found tens of thousands of types of lichens.Many may not even have been discovered yet.As scientists continue to find new kinds of lichens,they are also working to understand how they are connected to one another.By putting together a lichen family tree,they hope to understand why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world.
Many researchers are trying to understand basic facts about the organisms and their connections.Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.
56.What do we know about lichens according to the passage?C
A.They will die if they leave Earth.
B.There are more lichens than plants on Earth.
C.They look similar to the environment around them.
D.They are too small to be easily seen by people.
57.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?B
A.The way lichens live.
B.The natural environment of lichens.
C.The way lichens work as organisms.
D.The family tree of lichens.
58.What is the function of the alga in lichens?B
A.It produces food for the fungus.
B.It offers a living place for the fungus.
C.It makes the lichen a plant.
D.It can protect the fungus.
59.Which of the following statements is NOT the scientists'purposes of studying lichens?C
A.To understand basic facts about them.
B.To create a lichen family tree.
C.To understand how lichens are related to each other.
D.To understand why lichens can live in different places.
60.We can know from the passage thatA.
A.lichens can be used to better understand the environment
B.lichens don't have any differences in colors or sizes
C.lichens don't use photosynthesis like a green plant
D.scientists have discovered every kind of lichen.
分析 文章为科教类,主要介绍了地衣的有关知识,并介绍了研究人员想利用地衣来研究环保.
解答 CBBCA
56.C 细节题.根据第一段They often mix into the living place.You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.可知,地衣通常和活生物混在一起,即使你发现了也不一定认出来,所以地衣和周围的环境看起来很相似,故答案为C.
57.B 主旨归纳.第二段介绍了地衣主要生长在岩石、树枝等地方,从沙漠到热带雨林都有地衣,概括为重点介绍地衣的生长自然环境,故答案为B.
58.B 细节题.根据the alga gets the sun's energy to make food for the fungus可知,藻类吸收阳光给菌类提供食物,故答案为B.
59.C 细节归纳题.根据最后两段的介绍可知,科学家研究地衣目的有:understand basic facts about the organisms 弄清有机物基本事实;By putting together a lichen family tree创造一个地衣家族系列;why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world为什么地衣会生长在不同地方.只有选项C没有提到,故答案为C.
60.A归纳推理.根据最后一句话Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.可知,研究人员利用地衣来研究环境的问题,故答案为A.
