When a leafy plant is under attack, it desn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, tw scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reprted that yung maple trees getting bitten by insects send ut a particular smell that neighbring plants can get. These chemicals cme frm the injured parts f the plant and seem t be an alarm. What the plants pump thrugh the air is a mixture f chemicals knwn as vlatile rganic cmpunds, VOCs fr shrt.
Scientists have fund that all kinds f plants give ut VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way f crying ut. But is anyne listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighburs react.
Sme plants pump ut smelly chemicals t keep insects away. But thers d duble duty. They pump ut perfumes designed t attract different insects wh are natural enemies t the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker wh was lunching nw becmes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical cnversatins help the neighbrs .The damage is usually mre serius n the first plant, but the neighbrs, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what t d.
Des this mean that plants talk t each ther? Scientists dn’t knw. Maybe the first plant just made a cry f pain r was sending a message t its wn branches, and s, in effect, was talking t itself. Perhaps the neighbrs just happened t “verhear” the cry. S infrmatin was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentinal back and frth. Charles Darwin, ver 150 years ag, imagined a wrld far busier, nisier and mre intimate (亲密的) than the wrld we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whle lt ging n.
8. What des a plant d when it is under attack?

B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready t fight back.
D The perfumes attract natural enemies.
10. Scientists find frm their studies that plants can ________.
A. predict natural disasters
B. prtect themselves against insects
C. talk t ne anther intentinally
D. help their neighbrs when necessary
11. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?

China has set new rules limiting the amunt f time children can spend playing nline games. The rules limit children t just three hurs f nline game playing a week. That is ne hur between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. n Friday, Saturday and Sunday mst weeks.
Li Zhangu has tw children aged 4 and 8. Even thugh they d nt have smartphnes, they enjy playing nline games. Like many ther parents. Li is happy with new gvernment rules. But experts say it is unclear if such plicies can help prevent addictin t nline games. Children might just get addicted t scial media instead. In the end, experts say, parents shuld be the nes t set limits and supprt gd practice.
There has been a grwing cncern in China abut gaming addictin amng children. Gvernment reprts in 2018 fund that abut ne in ten Chinese children were addicted t the Internet. The new rules are part f an effrt t prevent yung peple frm spending t much time n unhealthy entertainment. That includes what fficials call the “irratinal fan culture”
Under the new rules, the respnsibility fr making sure children play nly three hurs a day falls largely n Chinese gaming cmpanies like Net Ease and Ten cent. Cmpanies have set up real-name registratin systems t prevent yung users frm ging past game time limits. They have used facial recgnitin technlgy t check their identities. And they have als set up a prgram that permits peple t reprt what is against the law. It is unclear what punishments gaming cmpanies may face if they d nt carry ut the plicies. And even if such plicies are perfrmed, it is als unclear whether they can prevent nline addictin.
A specialist treating Internet addictin expects abut 20 percent f children will find ways t break the rules by brrwing accunts f their lder relatives and find a way arund facial recgnitin. In his pinin, shrt-vide alps such as Duyin and Kuaishu are als very ppular in China. They are nt under the same restrictins as games.
12. When can children play games accrding t the new rules?
A. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. On Friday.B. Between 8 p. m. and 9 p.m. On Tuesday.
C. Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. On Saturday.D. Between 10 p. m. and 11 p.m. On Thursday.
13. Accrding t experts, _________
A. the new rules can stp children’s addictin t scial media
B. cmpanies are mre respnsible fr kids ‘ beying the rules
C. the new rules will help prevent children playing nline games
D. parents play a greater part in limiting the time f nline games
14. What will children prbably d t battle with the new rules?
A. Design an advanced prgram.B. Use facial recgnitin systems.
C. Set up real-name registratin systems.D. Brrw accunts f their lder relatives.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个暖心故事，身患残疾的Mark想要打棒球，球员答应让他上场，为了成全身患残疾的Mark，球队双方进行了善意地欺骗，故意屡屡失手，共同制造了一个特殊的“英雄”——Mark。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Mark’s father knew that few bys wuld want smene like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, n their team, but the father still apprached t ask the bys if Mark culd play. They exchanged glances with each ther and said, ‘We’ll try t put him in t bat.’(马克的父亲知道，很少有男孩会想要像马克这样有精神和身体残疾的人加入他们的球队，但父亲还是走过去问孩子们马克是否可以参加比赛。他们互相交换了一下眼色，说:“我们会设法让他上场的。”)”可知，Mark的父亲理解儿子的心情，理解他需要一种被接受的感觉，虽然身患残疾，但Mark希望得到别人的认可和接受。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“By the time Mark runded twards secnd base, the smallest guy n their team, wh had a chance t be the her fr his team fr the first time, understd the pitcher’s intentins and he t intentinally threw the ball high and far ver the third baseman’s head.(当马克转到二垒时，他们队中最小的家伙，第一次有机会成为他们队的英雄，明白了投手的 intentins，他也故意把球扔得很高，远远超过了三垒手的头。)”可知，球队中最小的男孩故意把球扔得又高又远，因为理解了投手的意图。intentin是“意图”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“All were screaming. ‘Mark, run t third.’ As Mark runded third, all were n their feet, crying, ‘Mark, run hme！’Mark ran t hme, stepped n the hme base and was cheered as the her wh wn the game fr his team.（所有人都在尖叫。“马克，跑到三垒。”马克跑到三垒时，所有人都站了起来，喊着:“马克，跑回家！”马克跑向本垒，踏上本垒，大家欢呼雀跃，认为他是球队赢得比赛的英雄。)”以及最后一段“That day, the bys frm bth teams helped bring a piece true lve and humanity int this wrld. (那一天，两支队伍的男孩们为这个世界带来了一份真爱和人性)”可推知，对方球员并不是不能阻止Mark跑回主场，他们是为了让身患残疾的Mark感到快乐，球队双方都进行了善意地欺骗，故意屡屡失手，共同制造了一个特殊的“英雄”，C项“对方球员没能阻止他向家跑去。”与文章内容及主题不符。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，再通过最后一段“That day, the bys frm bth teams helped bring a piece true lve and humanity int this wrld. (那一天，两支队伍的男孩们为这个世界带来了一份真爱和人性)”以及“having never frgtten being the her (他从未忘记自己是英雄)”可推知，本文通过讲述棒球球员与身患残疾的Shay之间的暖心故事，引出了一个关于人性的话题，通过这个故事可以领悟到真正的人性可以通过我们对待彼此的方式来实现。故选A。

Scientists have fund that all kinds f plants give ut VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way f crying ut. But is anyne listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighburs react.
Sme plants pump ut smelly chemicals t keep insects away. But thers d duble duty. They pump ut perfumes designed t attract different insects wh are natural enemies t the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker wh was lunching nw becmes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical cnversatins help the neighbrs .The damage is usually mre serius n the first plant, but the neighbrs, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what t d.
Des this mean that plants talk t each ther? Scientists dn’t knw. Maybe the first plant just made a cry f pain r was sending a message t its wn branches, and s, in effect, was talking t itself. Perhaps the neighbrs just happened t “verhear” the cry. S infrmatin was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentinal back and frth. Charles Darwin, ver 150 years ag, imagined a wrld far busier, nisier and mre intimate (亲密的) than the wrld we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whle lt ging n.

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Back in 1983, tw scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reprted that yung maple trees getting bitten by insects send ut a particular smell that neighbring plants can get. These chemicals cme frm the injured parts f the plant and seem t be an alarm. What the plants pump thrugh the air is a mixture f chemicals knwn as vlatile rganic cmpunds, VOCs fr shrt.”（早在1983年，两位科学家杰克·舒尔茨和伊恩·鲍德温就报告说，小枫树被昆虫咬后会散发出一种特殊的气味，邻近的植物也能闻到。这些化学物质来自植物受损的部分，似乎是一种警报。植物排出的是一种被称为挥发性有机化合物(简称VOCs)的化学混合物。）可知，当植物受到伤害时，会分泌一种特殊的化学物质。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“The attacker wh was lunching nw becmes lunch.”（正在吃午餐的攻击者现在变成了植物的午餐）可推知，此处为一旦它们到达这里，局面就反转了然后这些攻击者就会成为植物的午餐。故可猜测划线短语the tables are turned为“形势发生了逆转”的意思，即“攻击者受到攻击”。故选A项。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Charles Darwin, ver 150 years ag, imagined a wrld far busier, nisier and mre intimate(亲密的) than the wrld we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whle lt ging n.”（150多年前，查尔斯·达尔文设想了一个比我们所能看到和听到的世界更繁忙、更嘈杂、更亲密的世界。我们的感官很弱。发生了很多事情。）可知，这个世界远比我们看到或听到的更热闹、更亲密，我们认知能力有限，有很多事仍在继续发生，远比我们想象的要复杂。由此可推知，世界比看起来要复杂得多。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了中国芭蕾舞者陈振伟在世界芭蕾舞台上的表现以及他通过自身的努力被纽约市芭蕾舞团提拔为独舞者，同时他也促进了芭蕾舞在中国的普及和发展。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：中国芭蕾舞演员陈振伟以他令人印象深刻的表演吸引了来自世界各地的观众。修饰名词perfrmance应用形容词impressive，表示“令人印象深刻的”，故填impressive。
【37题详解】
考查过去将来时。句意：“这太不可思议了。我从没想过我的梦想有一天会实现，”陈说，回忆起当他得到他被提升为纽约市芭蕾舞团（NYCB）首席舞者的消息时的场景。根据空后sme day可知，应该为将来时态，结合主句中thught，空处应为过去将来时态，梦想是“被实现”，应用被动语态。故填wuld be realized。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“这太不可思议了。我从没想过我的梦想有一天会实现，”陈说，回忆起当他得到他被提升为纽约市芭蕾舞团（NYCB）首席舞者的消息时的场景。空前已有谓语said，主语Chen与recall之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填recalling。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：NYCB由美国芭蕾之父乔治·巴兰钦（Gerge Balanchine）创立，是世界上主要的芭蕾舞团之一，只有5%的舞者来自世界各地的顶级舞者。根据句意表示“有”，用with的复合结构。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：“你能否成为首席取决于很多因素，”他说。分析句子结构可知空处引导主语从句，结合句中r nt可知为固定搭配whether…r…表示“是否”，whether在句中不作成分，且句首首字母大写，故填Whether。

考查定语从句。句意：回到中国后，他出现在中国电视节目《舞曲粉碎》中，这是一个不同风格的舞者一起竞争的才艺节目。分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为talent shw，表示一个“抽象地点”，从句中缺少地点状语，应用where引导定语从句，故填where。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他使芭蕾舞这种起源于西方的艺术更容易为中国公众欣赏。空后art为名词，空处缺冠词，art发音是首字母为元音因素的单词，故填an。
