• 1．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 （毛蟲） 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 causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty．
  Communication，of course，doesn't need to be 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 message？
  
  （1）The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by

  ．
  A．growing more branches
  B．communicating with birds and bees
  C．changing its leaf chemistry
  D．shaking caterpillars off
  （2）According to the passage，the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by

  ．
  A．waving its branches
  B．giving off a special smell
  C．dropping its leaves
  D．changing the colour of its trunk
  （3）According to this passage，bees communicate by

  ．
  A．making special movement
  B．touching one another
  C．smelling one another
  D．making unusual sound．

• 3．When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation （住所）．I suggested that they should stay at'bed and breakfast' houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．
  "We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，"they said，"because we found that most families were away on holiday．"
  I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English，and they thought'VACANCIES' meant'holidays'，because the Spanish word for'holidays"is'vacaciones'．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said'VACANCLES'，which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said'NO VACANCLES'，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels!
  We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，the word'DIVERSION' means fun．In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word'DIVERSION' on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead，the road ended in a large hold．
  English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris．when someone offered me some more．coffee，I said'Thank you' in French．I meant that I would like some more，However，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that'Thank you' in French means'Mo，thank you．'
  
  （1）My Spanish friends wanted advice about

  ．
  A．learning English
  B．finding places to stay in England
  C．driving their car on English roads
  D．going to England by car
  （2）I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because

  ．
  A．they would be able to practise their English
  B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
  C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner
  D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
  （3）If you see a road sign that says'Diversion'，you will

  ．
  A．fall into a hole
  B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
  C．find that the road is blocked by crowds of people
  D．have to take a different road
  （4）I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I

  ．
  A．hadn't finished drinking my coffee
  B．was expecting another cup of coffee
  C．meant that I didn't want any more
  D．was never misunderstood．

• 4．Man is a land animal，but he is also closely tied to the sea．Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man．The sea has provided man with food and a convenient （便利的） way to travel to many parts of the world．Today，nearly two-thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast．
  In the modern technological world，the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive （=continue to live）．Resources on land are beginning to be used up．The sea，however，still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs．
  The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive．Oil and gas explorations （探險） have been carried out for nearly 30 years．Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined．
  Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food．The culture of fish and shellfish （貝類動物） is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people．
  Besides oil and gas，the sea may offer new sources of energy．Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship．Ocean currents （水流） and waves offer possible use as a source of energy．
  Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea．The development of strong，new materials has made this possible．
  The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve．Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food，minerals，and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved．
  
  （1）The major things that the sea offers man are

  ．
  A．fish and oil

  ．
  A．the sea resources have largely been used up
  B．the sea，in the broad sense，has not yet been developed
  C．the problems that prevent us from using the food，minerals，and energy sources of the sea have already been solved．
  D．by the year 2000，the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources

• 5．It's normal to wake briefly during the night．（1）

  But if you're waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep，the following tips may help．
     Stay out of your head．The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep，so remain in bed in a relaxed position．Hard as it may be，try not to stress over the fact that you're awake，because that every stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake． （2）

  
      （3）

  If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep，try a relaxation technique such as visualization，or deep breathing，which can be done without even getting out of bed．Remind yourself that although they're not a replacement for sleep，rest and relaxation still help refresh your body．
     Do a quiet，non-stimulating activity．If you've been awake for more than 15 minutes，try getting out of bed and doing a quiet，non-stimulating activity，such as reading a book．Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it's time to wake up． （4）

  A light snack might relax you，but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day．
      （5）

  If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something，make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve．
  
  A．Make relaxation your goal，not sleep．
  B．Put off worries and troubles．
  C．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night．
  D．In fact，a good sleeper won't even remember it．
  E．Also avoid screens of any kind-computers，TVs，cell phones，iPads．
  F．You'll be much more productive and creative after a good night's rest．
  G．A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body．
