Can trees talk? Yes — but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do

communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars（毛毛虫）changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapor—a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

Communication, of course, does not need to be in words. We can talk each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending messages?

1．It can be inferred from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that .

A．have an unpleasant taste

B．are lying on the ground

C．have an unfamiliar shape

D．bees don’t like

2．According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with each other by .

A．waving its branches B．giving off a special vapor

C．dropping its leaves D．changing the color of its trunk

3．According to the passage, bees communicate by .

A．touching one another B．smiling one another

解析:

本篇科普文章讲述了柳树通过发出一种特别水蒸汽来同临居进行交流。作者认为象人类微笑，鸟儿唱歌，蜜蜂跳舞一样，树也有传送信息的方式。

1．A 细节理解题。答案从第一段第五句中查找。

2．B 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句得出。

3．C 细节理解题。从第二段倒数第二句得出。

4．B 观点说明题。作者通过列举人、鸟、蜜蜂的非语言性的交流，认为树发出蒸汽的方式也是一种交流是合乎情理的。

Can trees talk? Yes--but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree（柳树）attacked in the woods by caterpillars（毛毛虫）changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour--a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

　　Communication, of course, doesn't need to be always in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar（花蜜）for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending messages?

There are some places in the world where great cities once stood. There were trees, gardens and grass. But now these cities have gone and the places are like deserts. Scientists began to study this land to find out what happened. Many of them believed the land died when the trees were cut down.
Trees help other plants grow and help hold the soil in place. They keep the soil from blowing away. The leaves of trees on the ground keep rainwater from running off. Trees near farms protect growing plants from strong winds.
Once there were hundreds of farms in the southwestern United States. Then the farms turned into fields of dry dust. Trees might have saved these farms. But few trees grow in the dry southwest now.
Now we try to save trees. In many places, when a tree is cut down , a new tree is planted in its place . We do not want the land to die.

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey.
