高一英语必修一第四单元测试试题(带答案)

【新教材】人教版（2019）高一英语必修第一册Unit4 单元测试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解In late March, storms and rapid temperature shifts in several Midwestern states led to unexpected flooding. For Nebraska, it was the worst disaster in the state's history: 76 of 93 counties have had to apply for aid, with damage approximately $1.3 billion. Many families are receiving assistance for repairs to homes, farms, and infrastructure (基础设施).Although it has been a destructive time for Midwestern farm counties, many volunteers have joined in despite the dangers. For volunteer Lynn Caniglia, the feeling that comes from "helping families" is all the payment she needs.Another girl called Jeanie Goodhile talked about her efforts. She raised disabled animals on her farm in Valley, Nebraska. The floods ruined her land and nearly killed all she owned. "When the water came, I had 20 minutes to save all of my animals," Goodhile said. "When I attempted to get some animals out of their pens(畜栏), they wouldn't come out." Across the Midwest, three people and more than 2.3 million animals died in the flooding. Goodhile is grateful for the first volunteers who risked their lives to save others.Volunteers from as far away as Ohio and North Carolina rescued people trapped and are now providing supplies to those in need and helping to rebuild. "I assess homes to see if they're safe to live in after all of the damage," said volunteer Steve Metcalph. "Several steps need to be taken to ensure that a house is safe and habitable after flooding. Cleaning out a home and making repairs after flood damage can be a tough, complex process. Roads, bridges, and highways were also damaged. Most of the highways and roads have reopened, but nearly one million homes are still awaiting clean-ups."1.Which of the following best describes Nebraska's situation in late March?A. Terrible.B. Changeable.C. Pleasant.D. Effective.2.What happened to Jeanie Goodhile's farm?A.Her efforts to save some animals were in vain.B.The flood didn't kill any animal on the farm.C.There was no volunteer to help save the farm.D.She had no time to save the animals on the farm.3.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Survivors in the floodB.A joint effort to save animalsC.The government's great contributionsD.Volunteers helping victims through floodThe scientific study of earthquakes is comparatively new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of earthquakes were recorded, and the natural causes of earthquakes were not well understood.The earliest earthquake for which we have descriptive information occurred in China in 1177 BC. The Chinese earthquake catalog (目录) describes several dozen large earthquakes in China during the next few thousand years. Earthquakes in Europe were mentioned as early as 580 BC, but the earliest for which we have some descriptive information occurred in the mid-16th century. The earliest known earthquakes in the Americas were in Mexico in the late 14th century and in Peru in 1471, but descriptions of the effects were not well recorded. By the 17th century, descriptions of the effects of earthquakes were being published around the world.The most widely felt earthquakes in the recorded history of North America were a series that occurred in 1811-1812 near New Madrid, Missouri. A great earthquake, whose magnitude is reported to have been about 8, occurred on the morning of December 16, 1811. Another great earthquake occurred on January 23, 1812, and a third, the strongest yet, on February 7, 1812. Aftershocks (余震) were nearly continuous between these great earthquakes and continued for months afterwards. These earthquakes were felt by people as far away as Boston and Denver. Because the population in these regions was small, the destruction of human life and property was slight.The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive in the recorded history of North America——the earthquake and the fire that followed killed nearly 700 people and left the city in ruins.1. When did published descriptions of the effects of earthquakes become popular in the world?A. In the 1300s.B. In the 1400s.C. In the 1500s.D. In the 1600s.2. What do we know about the earthquakes in 1811-1812 in North America?A. They killed a large number of people.B. They occurred in San Francisco.C. They could be felt very far away.D. They almost destroyed entire cities.3. What can we infer from the passage?A. Few earthquakes were scientifically studied before the 18th century.B. Earthquakes can be avoided with the development of technology.C. Most of the early earthquakes caused little damage.D. People haven't found the causes of earthquakes so far.4. What's the best title for this passage?A. The scientific study of earthquakesB. Earthquakes in historyC. The effects of earthquakes on humansD. Why earthquakes occurA food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on April 4,2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the third season of CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China's top university.Lei, from Shaoyang in Hunan, is now working as a food delivery man in Hangzhou of Zhejiang. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father, who would write poems down, stick them on the wall of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn't diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1,000 poems.Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn't faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring," the courier said.In November, 2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70,000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.Lei's outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story, have amazed Chinese audiences."His love of learning is so pure, it moved me to tears,"one netizen said "It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge," another shared.1.Why did Lei Haiwei have no chance to go to college?A.His family was very poor. .He was fascinated with poems.C.He was too busy to study. .He often changed schools.2.The underlined word "diminish" in the third paragraph can be replaced by "_______" .A.inspireB.increaseC.reduce .encourage3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tells us?A.Lei's work is delivering food for others.B.Lei’s daily life is highly stressful at present.C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems.D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.4.How did people find Lei's story?A.Interesting.B.Inspiring.C.Fascinating.D.Shocking.When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them."I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear," I said. "You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too."I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn't it?1.The writer has _______ children.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four2.The underlined word "donate" in Paragraph 3 probably means "_______".A. 捐赠B. 丢掉C. 展出D. 放好3.What's the best title for this passage?A. A Family StoryB. The Spirit of GivingC. The Way of Helping OthersD. A Sad Experience二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

APhiladelphia (CNN) — Hazel Donnelly was taking her husband to the doctor when they got a call that their building was on fire.Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don‟t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn‟t make it?”Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防员) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out.“Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly.No one wa s hurt, but the Donnellys‟ building was badly damaged, and they weren‟t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat.“When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn‟t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members —as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, …We‟ll take care of your animal like it is our own‟ means the world to people.”After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals.Red Paw cared for the Donnellys‟ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we wer e reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.”For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it‟s a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “After goin g through such a sad thing, it‟s so good to have a happy ending.”21. We can infer from the text that Kramer is _____.A. Donnelly‟s husbandB. Donnelly‟s childC. a firefighterD. a cat22. What do we know about Red Paw?A. It offers help to pets and their families.B. It was set up by Hazel Donnelly.C. It belongs to the Red Cross.D. It saves people in disasters.23. The fire in the Donnellys‟ building _____.A. took many people‟s livesB. caused great damage to the buildingC. left Donnelly seriously hurtD. led to the loss of a family member24. Who looked after Kramer for a long time after the fire?A. A doctor.B. Jen Leary.C. Red Paw.D. The Red CrossBWelcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you‟re not afraid. You‟re just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there‟s nothing out here but some rocks.Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones‟ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人).Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water — leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.25. The under lined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A. fearB. angerC. surpriseD. excitement26. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.A. the iceB. the windC. aliensD. animals27. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn‟t move by themselves.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.CDear friends and colleagues (同事) of Tom Blumenthal,We are organizing a cele bration honoring Tom‟s research career (生涯).

When asked how I was going to pay, I opened my purse to get my credit card (信用卡). It wasn‟t there!Nell and I looked at each other in shocked silence. Then, from the line behind us, a voice asked, “How much do you need?” When I said we would need $300 to get us through our first week, the kind man gave us the needed money. We discovered he and his wife were returning home to Toronto a couple of weeks later on the same flight as we were, so we made sure to see them to return the money and give them a gift to thank them.I later found out I had left my card at a garage (加油站) in Toronto a week before our vacation. When I called the garage, they actually sent the card to us in Florida, where it arrived safely just a few days later.Tom, North York, OntarioI travelled by bus to Halifax to visit my brother George. After he had met me at the terminal (终点站), we caught another bus to his house. We got off so quickly, though, that I forgot my purse.

Being in a city where I knew only a few people, I really didn‟t think I‟d ever see my purse and money again. But a few hours later there came a knock on the door.

APhoenix, Arizona, the USA was struck by a big sandstorm(沙尘暴) recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenixa little after 7:00 p.m. local time.Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people in the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma County in southwestern Arizona. It reduced the visibility(能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.1.In what season do sandstorms usually take place in Arizona?A.In fall and winter.B.In summer and fall.C.In winter and spring.D.In spring and summer.2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The storm.B.The wind.C.The desert.D.The state.3.Why was local people lucky after the big sandstorm happened?A.People's health was not influenced.B.It didn't do harm to people's gardens.C.All the local people in the area survived.D.The electricity was not affected at all.4.What can probably be the title of the passage?A.Phoenix, Arizona has more sandstormsB.Sandstorms do a great deal of harm to peopleC.We must do something to prevent sandstormsD.Phoenix, Arizona experienced a huge sandstormBA 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Phi Phi Don, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. "People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on," she said.Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.Lang was stuck underwater between pieces of debris(碎片) with the surface just above her face. "The more I struggled(挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed," she said. "I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater."The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony(阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.5.What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened?A.She was running in a race.B.She was playing on the beach.C.She was shopping in the street.D.She was looking for her friend.6.Why was Lang unable to run?A.There was a wall in the way.B.She feared she would get lost.C.She had to wait for her friend.D.The racing water was too powerful.7.What can we learn about Lang from Paragraph 3?A.She didn't want to struggle.B.She was trapped underwater.C.She didn't regret going on vacation.D.She kept awake all the time in the water.8.How did Lang manage to save herself?A.By calling for help.B.By hiding in a house.C.By climbing up a tall tree.D.By making use of floating objects.CWhat do you think of when you hear the word “drought”? Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked(开裂的)earth” or even “no water”? If so, you’re on the right track!When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams, and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.9.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To analyze the problem.C. To conclude the article.D. To put forward an argument.10.What will happen if a place is in drought?A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3?A. Dust in the wind.B. Rain in the soil.C. Snow on the ground.D. Water in the air.12.What topics are discussed before the passage?A. The definition(定义) of drought.B. The water cycle and weather.C. The causes of drought.D. The influence of drought.DThe Horn of Africa was struck by billions of locusts(蝗虫). They flew through fields of crops at an amazing speed, killing crops in the process. The locusts crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia. They were then found in Kenya and had become the worst disaster there in 70 years.The U.N. says the area is affected by lack of food, and it warns that the international community only has a small window of opportunity to prevent future disaster". "These things are always voracious," says Keith Cressman. A swarm(一大群) the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in both New York and California, he says. Swarms of desert locusts more than three times the size of New York City have been seen in northeast Kenya.Experts know how to stop the locusts' spread, but say efforts have been prevented by a lack of resources because it's difficult to spray pesticide(喷洒农药) in conflict-racked(冲突肆虐的) places such as Somalia and Yemen. "We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but that's not what we're doing at the moment," Mark Lowcock said. "We're running out of time."Desert locusts are known for their rapid reproduction and ability to move long distances with the wind. "This kind of insect has been around for a long time," Mark Lowcock said. "It has so many different survival ways...to just survive in some of the harshest conditions and remotest parts of the planet. But it has the great ability to take advantage of good conditions." It reproduces rapidly—every three months, and in suitable conditions, the population could increase by 400 times every six months.13.Where might locusts first appear?A.In Ethiopia.B.In Somalia.C.In Kenya.D.In the Gulf of Aden.14.What does the underlined word “voracious” mean?A.Expecting to fly.B.Wanting to eat.C.Being curious.D.Being cautious.15.Which might be the cause of the locusts' spread?A.Experts' unawareness of how to prevent the locusts' spread.ck of people to deal with locusts.C.The good living environment of the desert.D.Losing the chance to solve the locust problem in the bud.16.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Desert locusts' ability to take advantage of good conditions.B.Desert locusts' long life on the earth.C.Desert locusts' ability to reproduce and survive.D.Desert locusts' different survival abilities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crash of many things were deafening, and Maggie hugged herself in fear.After what seemed like a very long time, the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门)was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!4.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.Earthquakes are the main natural disasters in the US.B.Maggie's parents taught her how to survive in an earthquake.C.Earthquakes occur often in the west of the US.D.Maggie has some self-help awareness in earthquakes.5.What does the underlined word “deafening” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Very loud.B.Quite familiar.C.Very distant.D.Quite strange.6.What can we know about Maggie?A.She was the only child in her family.B.She was not afraid at all during the earthquake.C.She was hurt when tuning off the water valve.D.She had experienced an earthquake before.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.A story of a girl in an earthquake.B.The importance of preparing for an earthquake.C.The ways to escape from an earthquake.D.The danger of an earthquake.C(2021天津静海区第一中学高一12月月考,中)Phoenix, Arizona, the USA was shaken by a big sandstorm recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenix a little after 7:00 p.m. local time.Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was so far the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people along the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma area in southwestern and far western Arizona. It reduced the visibility (能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.8.In what season do sandstorms usually take place in Arizona?A.In fall and winter.B.In summer and fall.C.In winter and spring.D.In spring and summer.9.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to .A.the stormB.the windC.the desertD.the state10.It is fortunate that though the big sandstorm happened, .A.people's health was not influencedB.it didn't do harm to people's gardensC.all the local people in the area survivedD.the electricity power was not at all affected11.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Phoenix, Arizona has more sandstorms.B.Sandstorms do a great deal of harm to people.C.We must do something to prevent sandstorms.D.Phoenix, Arizona experienced a huge sandstorm.D(2021四川眉山高一上期末,难)There are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your houseplants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that most plants are extremely sensitive to the touch, and even a light touch can significantly stunt(遏制)their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animals, insects, or even plants' touching each other in the wind, can cause a huge gene response in the plant,”said Jim Whelan, who led the new study. “Within 30 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plan t's genome(基因组)can be changed. This involves a huge expenditure(消耗)of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic level, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. “We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are activated(激活)to prepare the plant for defending itself against being eaten,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.Until more research is done, it's just a guess at this point. Still, the findings might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops, to best promote healthier growth.It's worth noticing that while the study has found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, it's really repeated touch that causes lasting stunted growth. That's because the plants are looking for patterns in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesn't matter if you accidentally brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.12.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By comparing.B.By giving examples.C.By listing numbers.D.By showing results of studies.13.Why can touching stunt a plant growing according to the study?A.It leads to the plant's energy expenditure.B.It makes the plant sensitive to threats.C.It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.D.It prevents the plant absorbing nutrients.14.What's the importance of the study by Whelan and his team?A.It gives us more useful gardening tips.B.It helps find ways to ensure plants' healthy growth.C.It contributes to the further study on genes.D.It uses data to warn people not to touch plants.15.What is the passage mainly about?A.Something is done to help plants grow.B.Plants' genome can be changed easily.C.Plants don't really like to be touched.D.What we do every day may destroy plants.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
