W: Rose, Christmas is coming soon. What presents shall we buy for the children?

M: Well, tomorrow is Sunday. Let’s go shopping tomorrow afternoon after we see the film.

W: But we mustn’t let the children know about the presents before Christmas.

【题目】 Even though they're not the most exciting things in the world, plants have attracted us ever since the days of early humans. They may not do any tricks or greet us when we come home at night like a dog would, but that doesn't mean they're any less interesting than animals.

However, just when we thought we knew everything we could about them, a recent study found that plants may have a secret ability that has gone unnoticed all this time.

According to the study by Australian biologist Monica Gagliano, published in the journal Oecologia, plants may be able to "hear” sounds . To come to this conclusion, Gagliano and her team planted pea seedlings （幼苗）in a pair of different Y-shaped pots with two arms. The first pot's arms led to fresh water, while the other's led to either dry soil or a sealed （密封的）plastic tube containing flowing water. Naturally, the first pot's seedlings grew toward the water. What's surprising, however, is that the second pot's seedlings grew toward the sealed water supply but not the soil.

"They just knew the water was there even if the only thing to discover was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe, ” Gagliano told Scientific American . She believes that plants are able to use their leaves to discover sound waves, which make tiny vibrations （振动）as they're produced. This could explain why so many people believe that singing or playing music to their plants helps them grow. “ I had a plant that I used to wash the leaves of once a week and sing to," plant lover Heather Goodall told BBC News. "It grew from being about 2 feet tall to 7 feet tall in just a couple of years."

So, does this mean we should start treating our plants like pets? Not necessarily, although perhaps it does mean we should give them more respect. "I would like to see plants accepted more as the amazing and interesting living beings, and less as just a source of human nutrition," Fatima Cvrckova, a scientist at Charles University in the Czech Republic, told BBC News.

【1】What did Gagliano find in their study?

A.Plants can recognize the sound of water.

B.Sound can change the direction plants grow toward.

C.Plants can tell the difference between various sounds.

D.Different plants can discover sounds in different ways.

【2】What do plants use to hear sound according to Gagliano?

A.Their rootsB.Their flowers

C.Their fruitsD.Their leaves

【3】Why does the author mention Heather Goodall's example?

A.To show a different way of growing plants.

B.To inspire people to sing to their plants often.

C.To prove that music plays a role in plant growth.

D.To stress the importance of treating plants like pets.

【4】What would Cvrckova probably agree with?

A.Plants are just a source of human nutrition.

B.There is still a lot we do not know about plants.

C.Plants are unbelievable and deserve more respect.

D.Most people do not care enough about their plants.

【题目】 One of the most traditional British holidays is the seaside holiday. Typically, families travel to British seaside towns.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer.

In the 1980s and 1990s, British young people became wealthier. They started to go abroad in groups. Once at their destination they socialised with other young people and had one long party.

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies (经济) rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的) tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word: a “staycation”.

In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽) of East Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.

【1】Why do more British people take their holidays in their own country?

A.The Internet makes them closer.

B.They are wealthier and more sociable.

C.The global climate is getting much warmer.

D.The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.

【2】What does the underlined word “staycation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.A vacation spent at home.B.A healthier style of living.

C.A new way to spend holiday.D.A fashionable tourism industry.

【3】Which is the best heading that matches Paragraph 5?

A.Flights of fancy.B.Sun, sea and sand.

C.The length and width.D.Footloose and fancy-free.

【4】What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A.To prove the UK has diverse scenery.

B.To show the UK starts to discover itself.

C.To tell the development of the United Kingdom.

D.To explain why the British spend holidays inland.
