They just sit there photosynthesizing (光合作用) while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant coevolution (協(xié)同進(jìn)化) started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving antfriendly features. Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mаmmаl?. Тhе?е ?nсludе hollow thorns that аnt? will live ?n??dе, or ехtra nесtаr (瓊漿) оn lеаvе? or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed—often in a nutrientrich area where it39。ll grow better, and since it39。s farther away from its parent, they won39。t have to pete for resources. But scientists weren39。t sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chickenandegg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants. The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it39。s not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and plex interactions evolved.（1）Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to ________. A.reward the antsB.make a fool of antsC.provide nutrition for the seedsD.get the seeds moved around（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A.How plants and ants interact.B.What ants do to protect plants.C.How plants and ants survive attacks.D.Why plants and ants need coevolution.（3）Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants? A.Ants depended more upon plants.B.It caused a race for better evolution.C.How it got started was uncertain.D.It was of little value for future studies.（4）What39。s the author39。s purpose of writing the passage? A.To introduce a science research method.B.To inform readers of a latest research finding.C.To arouse readers39。 interest in science research.D.To criticize people39。s traditional views about plants.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，螞蟻和植物之間的互動有著悠久的歷史。螞蟻和植物的共同進(jìn)化始于螞蟻以植物為食，植物進(jìn)化出對螞蟻友好的特征。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds.”其他植物讓螞蟻幫助它們移動種子，方法是在種子上附加豐富的食物包。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use.”植物有許多不同的結(jié)構(gòu)，這些結(jié)構(gòu)是專門為螞蟻使用的；“Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds.”可知，有些螞蟻會偷取花蜜逃跑，但有些會留下來攻擊任何試圖傷害植物的東西。其他植物讓螞蟻幫助它們移動種子，方法是在種子上附加豐富的食物包。由此可知，第二段主要講了植物和螞蟻如何互動，故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“But scientists weren39。t sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started.”但是科學(xué)家們并不確定螞蟻和植物之間的進(jìn)化關(guān)系是如何開始的。由此可知C選項(xiàng)描述正確，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。第一段中的“A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants.”一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，螞蟻和植物之間的互動有著悠久的歷史。是全文的主題句，由此推斷出，作者寫這篇文章的目的是告知讀者最新的研究結(jié)果，故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Hacking isn39。t just for puters and smart phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant39。s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world. Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants39。 genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants. Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant39。s genes, the scientists were able to
