【题目】Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch.We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there.In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping.It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch.Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem.There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there.Needless to say, we didn’t find her.

It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30.“Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully.By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway.Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be.An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog.With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road

By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge.It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey.Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train.Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell.It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night.Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.

【1】Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?

A. Go to the concert.

B. See the Crown Jewels.

C. Return to Cambridge.

D. Go shopping.

【3】The reason why they didn’t all meet for lunch was that _______.

A. They lost their way in the fog

B. they forgot to make necessary arrangement

C. they waited at different places and didn’t meet each other

【题目】For the first time, researchers have discovered that some plants can kill insects in order to get additional nutrients. New research shows that they catch and kill small insects with their own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.

Professor Mark Chase, of Kew and Queen Mary, University of London, said: “The cultivated (改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs. Tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. They do trap small insects on a regular basis. They do kill insects.”

The number of these carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. Among them are species of petunia(矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. Researchers at Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.

It is thought that the technique was developed in the wild to get necessary nutrients in poor quality soil and even various plants grown in your vegetable garden still have the ability.

The researchers, publishing their finding in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, said: “We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “We are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants," they added.

A. get more sticky hairs
