However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.s almost leafless, threadlike stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.5．閱讀理解故選A?？v觀全文可知安娜租房時(shí)，選擇房子，考慮一系列價(jià)格、便利設(shè)施和位置，并且參觀了所有五家公寓大樓，最后租下了一間公寓，可以推斷出她是個(gè)聰明、有條理的故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“After considering prices, amenities, and locations, Ana found a few apartment plexes that she liked.”可知，安娜在翻閱出售公寓的小冊(cè)子時(shí)考慮了價(jià)格、便利設(shè)施和位置。故選D。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 The manager asked them to sign a rental contract and pay a security deposit so that if any damage was done to the apartment while they were in it, the security deposit would pay for it.
