A
Science Daily -------- Dutch ecologist Roxina Soler and her colleagues have discovered that subterranean（地下的）and above ground herbivorous（食草的）insects can communicate with each other by using plants as telephones. Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant. Thus, aboveground insects are warned that the plant is already “ occupied”.
In recent years it has been discovered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly if they feed on plants that also have subterranean residents and vice versa（反之亦然）. It seems that a system has developed through natural selection, which helps the subterranean and aboveground insects to communicate with each other. This avoids unnecessary competition.
Through the “green telephone lines”, subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party, namely caterpillars（毛蟲）. Parasitic wasps（寄生的黃蜂）lay their eggs inside aboveground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signals sent by the leaves, The communication between subterranean and aboveground It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is.
This research was carried out at the Netherlands Institute for Ecology by Roxina Soler, Jeffrey Harvey, Martijn Bezemer, Wim van der Putten and Louise Vet. was funded by the Free Competition of NOW Earth and Life Sciences.

42. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants _______.
A. have more green leaves

It was the perfect weather for leaf watching, and my housemate Julie and I meant to spend the weekend with our friends in the north Georgia mountains. "Don’t you want to come along?

Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. "Mark!" she shouted. "Mark!" We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smoke —a pillow too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it. Mark had built a fire to keep warm, and some embers (灰燼) had flown out.

閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)．

The Internet has opened up a whole new on line world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct（本能）is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.

If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

1. When you send short messages to a person online, you must_______ .

A. make sure that they mean no harm

B. read them again and again

C. say something beautiful to hear

D. repeat them later to the persons’ face

2. If you are hurt in the chat room by others, you can ________.

A. fight back in the same way

B .take them seriously

C. refuse to receive their messages

D. tell the police about this

3. If a newcomer who communicates online makes any mistakes, you______ .

A. should point them out sharply

B. shouldn’t be so strict with them

C. should say something about them

D. should take your responsibility to correct them

4. This passage mainly tells us_______ .

A. some rules of Internet communication

B. ways of sending messages

C. rules of the chat room

D. ways of making friends on the Internet

第四節(jié) ： 閱讀理解 （共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred（留下創(chuàng)傷） her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.

Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons（外科醫(yī)生）performed complex skin grafts（移植） to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.

When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “ I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”

Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.

She is a member of the Scottish Burned Chindren’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to shrug off unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”

56.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Angel of Hope                   B. A seriously burned girl survives

C. Permanent scars and pain for a girl   D. Shrug off unkind stares

57. How many operations has Ammie already had?

   A. One       B. Twelve        C. Thirteen        D. Fifteen

58. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?

   A. They were friendly to her    B. They laughed at her

   C. They were cruel to her       D. They were afraid of her

59. Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to ____.

   A. hide their scars by proper dressing    B. face others’ unkindness bravely

   C. recover quickly                   D. live a normal life

60. Which of the following words is not proper to describe Ammie?

   A. Confident      B. Outgoing       C. Optimistic      D. Fashionable
