1、Module 5 A Lesson in a Lab (建議用時：35分鐘) Ⅰ.閱讀理解 A (2020·陜西摸底檢測) In the story of The Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow(烏鴉) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink. Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Cro

2、ws actually do understand how to make water displacement(排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders. Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes cont

3、aining water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crows. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the e

4、rasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack. However, the__birds__handled__awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift t

5、he water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first. Previous studies showed that chimps

6、 and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文主要介紹了科學(xué)家通過實驗對烏鴉智商進(jìn)行的研究。 1．How did the crows get the snack in Sarah’s experiment? A．B

7、y breaking the tube. B．By dropping in erasers. C．By standing on the wood. D．By removing the wood. B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.”可知，烏鴉能夠把橡皮擦扔到管里，使水位升高，然后吃到零食。所以選B項。 2．What does the a

8、uthor mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in Paragraph 4? A．They were unable to tell different shapes. B．They dropped objects only into narrow tubes. C．They were not aware of the snack at first sight. D．They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack. D　解析：推理判斷題。從第四段可知，實驗中的烏鴉在面對粗細(xì)不同的管子時，雖

9、然只需往細(xì)管里投兩次物體就可以夠到零食，而需往粗管里投大約七次物體才能夠到零食，但是烏鴉往往先去粗管那邊，而沒有選擇更容易獲得零食的細(xì)管。由此可推知，畫線部分是說它們通常沒有選擇更容易的方式得到零食。 3．What does the text mainly focus on? A．Stories of Aesop’s Fables. B．The development of crows. C．Crows’ intelligence. D．Human-animal communication. C　解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“The results suggest that

10、 the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.”以及下文中的實驗可知，整篇文章都是圍繞烏鴉的智商問題來展開的。 4．What do we know about crows in the passage? A．Crows are almost as clever as first-graders in some respects. B．Crows understand water displacement completely. C．Chimps and children are much smar

11、ter than crows. D．The story of The Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence. A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.”可知，烏鴉在一些方面幾乎跟一年級學(xué)生一樣聰明。 B (2020·濰坊統(tǒng)一考試)Plants cannot run or hide, so they need other strategies to avoid being

12、 eaten. Some curl up their leaves, others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows that some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack, l

13、etting a plant prepare a preemptive(先發(fā)制人的) defense that even works against other pest species. When ecologist John Orrock of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—onto soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased th

14、eir levels of an enzyme(酶), which is known to prevent plant-eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked，” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.” Initially Orrock found this defense w

15、orked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungry caterpillars(毛蟲), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated the

16、ir chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia. The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response t

17、hat affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects，” Karban says. “The research was comprehensive，

18、” he adds, “but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.” “That’s the million-dollar question，” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文主要介紹了一項新的科學(xué)

19、研究。研究表明植物會對外在威脅相當(dāng)警覺，會自動作出反應(yīng)進(jìn)行自我保護(hù)。 5．John Orrock sprayed a liquid onto soil near tomato plants to ________． A．make them grow better B．give them a warning C．keep plant-eating animals away D．inform plant-eating animals of danger B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“We just gave them cues that suggested an attac

20、k was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”可推知，John Orrock在西紅柿植株附近的泥土上噴灑液體的目的是給予植物一種警告，讓它們能夠產(chǎn)生自我保護(hù)性反應(yīng)，且其與第三段第一句中的“his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat”呼應(yīng)，故選B。 6．Why is the example of caterpillars mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To int

21、roduce another animal. B．To confirm the result of the study. C．To appeal to people to protect animals. D．To analyze different resistance chemicals. B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails；in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on a

22、nother potential threat.”可推知，文章中提到毛蟲的例子是為了驗證研究的結(jié)果，故選B。 7．What does Richard Karban really want to know? A．How tomato plants become aware of danger. B．What the chemicals in the snail slime are. C．Whether the research is of practical value. D．What the finding of the research is. A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最

23、后一句“‘The research was comprehensive，’he adds，‘but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.’”，并結(jié)合對最后一段的整體理解可推知，Richard Karban實際上想了解的是西紅柿植株是如何意識到危險的，故選A。 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Watchful Plants　　　　　 B．Greedy Animals C．A

24、Snail’s Approach D．A Defense Attack A　解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章中的關(guān)鍵詞plant，并結(jié)合對全文的整體理解可推知，本文主要講述的是有關(guān)植物的科學(xué)研究，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)植物有對外在威脅或攻擊的自我保護(hù)性反應(yīng)，故選A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2020·昆明診斷測試)I received 3 missed calls from a number I didn’t recognize today.
