11．We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world．They don't move，they don't make sounds and they don't seem to respond to anything-at least not very quickly．But as is often the case，our human's view of the world misses quite a lot．Plants talk to each other all the time．And the language is chemical．
Over the years，scientists have reported that different types of plants，from trees to tomatoes，release compounds（化合物） into the air to help neighboring plants．These chemical warnings all have the same purpose-to spread information about one plant's disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves．But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious．
In this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，researchers in Japan offered some explanations．They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action．
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest，the cutworm．The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants．They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants．The substance is called HexVic．When the scientists fed HexVic to cutworms，it knocked down their survival rate by 17%．The scientists identified the source of HexVic，and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants．Those plants were then able to start producing the cutwormkilling HexVic．Researchers confirmed that uninfected plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease．How do they know when to play defense？They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors．
It is a complex tale，and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes．It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us．Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency．

B．It shows up more．
C．It cures the disease．
D．It sprays over healthy plants．
27．It can be inferred from the text thatC．
A．there are not chemical signals
B．the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoes
C．farmers may benefit from the further studies
D．plants are warned first by their neighbors
28．The passage is likely to appear inC．
A．a newspaper advertisement
B．a physics textbook
C．a science magazine
D．a finance report．

10．In 1947a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras（交响乐团）．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000people yearly．
At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．
Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21days it lasts．And yet as early as 1959，with only 19theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150during August itself．In 2004there were 200places housing 1，695shows by over 600different groups from 50different countries．More than 1.25million tickets were sold．
21．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？A

8．When you were young，ginger ale（姜味汽水）may have been a popular choice for reducing the unpleasant feelings caused by your upset stomach on the road to get to school．For years，ginger has been used to reduce the effects of nausea（作呕）．But do you know it's now also being looked at to fight cancer？
Scientists have discovered that ginger can kill cancerous cells in two different ways．On the one hand，ginger causes the cancer cells to"commit suicide"by destroying themselves while leaving the surrounding healthy cells untouched．Ginger can prevent the growth of diseased cells by destroying the environment they grow in．On the other hand，ginger tricks the diseased cells and causes them to fight among themselves．Researchers are now looking into one of the toughest cancers to fight．However，scientists find repeated treatment of disease by drugs can actually lose its effectiveness over time as the cancer builds up resistance（抵抗力）to the same treatment．This raises researchers'confidence that ginger would help stop resistance from the cancer．
In a study，the cancer clearly stopped growing in the body of the mice that had been given ginger．The bad news is that such encouraging research has only been conducted on mice．The good news，however，is that it seems humans might be able to get the same benefit just by eating products with ginger and ginger root in them．
Cancer prevention and fighting abilities aren't the only potential benefits you may get from adding a bit more ginger to your diet．
Drinking ginger ale when your stomach was upset as a child wasn't just a placebo（安慰剂）．Numerous studies and research，including the Mayo Clinic's strict grading system，agree that ginger has some sort of anti-nausea characteristics．
Some believe that ginger works well against nausea after operations，while others use it to reduce motion sickness such as seasickness and car sickness．The Mayo Clinic，however，advises the use of ginger only to reduce nausea during pregnancy．While more research needs to be done，early studies are very promising，especially in that small amounts of ginger don't seem to do any harm to the mother or baby．
Other health benefits from ginger exist as well．Since ginger is often considered to be useful in warming bodies，it can improve the condition of people's joints including knees and ankle joints．Some suggest that ginger can help cure a cough associated with the common cold．Another benefit of ginger is that it seems to have no real side effects，which is one of the main reasons it appears to be safe during pregnancy．
But for safety，you should always consult a doctor for instructions on daily use before starting，even with something like ginger that seems to have little to no side effects．
29．Why do scientists think ginger can be used to fight against cancer？A
A．Ginger can destroy diseased cells in two different ways．
B．Ginger is commonly considered as a kind of pain killer．
C．Ginger warms people's bodies and helps them recover from operations．
D．Ginger has no harmful side effects according to a large amount of medical research．
30．We can learn from the third paragraph thatC．
A．ginger works well only for warm-blooded animals
B．ginger and its root have the same effect on humans as mice
C．people are likely to gain great benefit by having ginger
D．the research on ginger is promised to be carried out only on mice
31．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Ginger's medicinal effects．
B．The benefits of ginger ale．
C．A new discovery about ginger．
D．Detailed research on ginger．
32．What will most probably be talked about following the text？A

7．Animals have a hard time surviving in the wild these days：the climate is changing，there is often not enough food and humans continue to use up more land．Besides，their natural habitats are chopped up（劈开） by humankind's long，busy roads．Most often，animals are forced to cross a roadway for water，food or migration．Sadly，about one million animals are killed each day on roadways across the United States，and that's just one country．Sometimes，however，there are roads that may be easier to cross than others．
In countries like Canada，where wildlife plays a significant role in daily life，particularly in remote northern areas of the country，wildlife overpasses have been constructed to allow animals to cross major roadways safely．
In Banff National Park in Alberta，Canada，since monitoring began in 1996，wild animals have crossed the 35underpasses and six overpasses more than 200，000times．Researchers have documented 10，000safe animal journeys on Banff's Red Earth Overpass alone．It's encouraging data，particularly when wildlife is faced with increasing roadways and speeding vehicles．
Most of us have experienced a close encounter（偶遇） with a wild animal while driving and have probably witnessed the unfortunate sight of animals killed by vehicles on the road．We sigh，get behind the wheel and drive away．
Conversely（反过来），an encounter with a wild animal while driving，particularly large animals，can also have a disastrous impact on the driver，commonly injuring the driver and leaving the car either destroyed or severely damaged．
Clearly thre is a need to solve this problem on many levels．We，as the creators of these vehicles and road networks，have the greater responsibility to，at the very least，protect these natural areas，making sure that other species aren't left completely helpless．Animal bridges are a good place to start and they're in the best interest of humans and animals alike．After all，we share this Earth and animals have just as much right to move around freely as we do．
28．The first paragraph is mainly used toA．
A．introduce the topic of the text

6．A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing（61）had（have） a close knock on Oct 22．He was so（62）absorbed（absorb） in his smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him，（63）throwing（throw） him to the ground．This should serve（64）asa warning that people should be aware of their surroundings，especially（65）when\whilecrossing roads．（66）Luckily（lucky），the man survived，but the incident forced the driver（66）to stop（stop） the train．An l8-minute delay followed the incident，（67）which led to a break in the running of other trains on the route．
The Smartphone （69）addiction（addict） has spread like an infectious（传染的）disease．It's evident that it will do great harm to society．What's even（70）worse（bad），some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends．
Some people blame the smartphone for the sad story，yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame．

4．Deep into the night，the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson's restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo．The young people began to wonder about him，trying to imagine his life．perhaps he was sea captain； maybe he had run away from his wife； he could be an old soldier going home．When they went to the bus，one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself．After a long time，slowly and painfully，he began to tell his story．He had been in prison in New York for the last four years，and he was going home．
"Well，when I was in prison I wrote to my wife．I said，Martha，I understand if you can't stay married to me．I said I was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldn't stand it，if the kids kept asking questions，if it hurt her too much，well，she could just forget all about me．I told her she didn't have to write to me，and she didn't．Not for the three and a half years．"

Soon all the others were in it．When they were 20miles from Brunswick，the young people took over window seats on the rightside，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree．Vingo stopped looking，tightening his face into the ex-con's mask．Then it was 10miles，and five，and the bus became very quiet．
