9、并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。AI often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Towers of Pisa(比萨斜塔). But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower must be the best place to buy pizza in the world. Many years later, I finally saw the Lean

10、ing Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza and that the tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid that it may fall over and they dont want it to lean over the city. I dont think it a good idea to try to fix it. The tower p

11、robably will not fall down. Its 600 years old.Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. It seems to say nothing is perfect. Imperfect things may be more interesting. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy but Pisa to

14、 enjoying the benefits of cycling(骑自行车) in Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there. In the 1960s, a group of cycl

15、ing fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars werent allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and plac

16、ed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks! However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike is back in town-this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to ins

17、ert(插入) a special card. The new “ white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room. There is already less traffic in c

18、entral Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.24.Amsterdam is called the “City of

B.A commo

21、n chip.C.A special card. D.A white key.C Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So mete

22、orologists(气象学者)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with e

23、arlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before sate

24、llites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.28.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphe

25、re? Because _.A.the weather satellites can do it easily B.clouds form thereC.the weather forms there D.the pictures can forecast the weather29.Meteorologists forecast the weather _.A.when they have received satellite picturesB.after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC.before

26、 they received satellite picturesD.during they study satellite pictures30.Maybe well soon be able to forecast the weather for _.A.one day B.two days C.five days D.seven days or even longer31.The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _.A.taking pictures of the atmosphere B.rece

27、iving pictures of the atmosphereC.weather forecasting D.doing other work in many waysDWhen a leafy plant is under attack,it doesnt sit quietly.Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighbori

28、ng plants can get.These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.Its a

29、 plants way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty.They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they

30、 arrive,the tables are turned.The attacker whowas lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors.The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors,relatively speaking,stay safer because they heard the alarm and k

31、new what to do. Does this mean that plants talk to each other?Scientists dont know.Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches,and so,in effect,was talking to itself.Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry.So information was exchanged,but it wasnt a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago,imagined a world far busier,noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear.
