When you watch TV programmes about wild animals, it is amazing to see how an antelope can escape
a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting
off enemies.
Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defense system. Chemicals are
widely used for survival. By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous
to predators (食肉动物), plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Gold Wattle tree. British botanist David Cameron has found that when an animal
eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin (丹宁酸) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the
damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.
The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden
Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes.
Now, if a predator eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.
Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of chemicals. A
herbivore (草食动物) that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor. In this
way, plants have developed not only individual defense systems, but also shared it with others. This makes
it impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Golden Wattle tree is NOT
correct?
A. It fights off its enemies by producing poisonous chemicals.
B. It has the ability to warn its neighboring plants of danger.
C. It is only poisonous while it is being attacked.
D. An animal that eats too many of its leaves may be poisoned to death.
2. It is impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest mainly because _______.
A. plants will become poisonous if they are attacked.
B. plants have very good individual defense systems.
C. plants can protect themselves and share their defense systems.
D. plants can give out special smell to fight off their enemies.
3. What does David Cameron mean in paragraph 3?
A. He means that leaves of Golden Wattle trees can speak to each other.
B. He intends to emphasize that the defense system of Golden Wattle is quick and effective.
C. He wants to indicate that the Golden Wattle leaves are very clever.
D. He is explaining how the Golden Wattle trees warn each other when they are attacked.
4. According to the writer, the unique defence system of plants is the result of _______.
A. millions of years of evolution.
B. their outstanding poison producing system.
C. the tough natural environment.
D. large numbers of herbivores in the wilderness.
5. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Stunts in the wilderness.
B. A unique plant.
C. Poisonous plants.
D. Plants fight back.

The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in
1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the
final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big
Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs
are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which comes true because many of the programs cost
nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to
apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the
most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars.
TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of
the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of
newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because
they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called
“rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big
Brother was described as “against human rights and civilization”.
6. Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually _____.
A. common people B. pop TV stars C. attractive people D. famous film stars
7. Who would pay for the cost of the reality TV shows according to the passage?
A. TV producers who make reality TV shows
B. TV actors who take part in reality TV shows.
C. TV viewers who telephone reality TV shows
D. TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows
8. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. everyone is happy about reality TV.
B. reality TV will do well in many countries.
C. all the people in Europe are in favor of reality TV
D. reality TV will not be broadcast any more in any countries.

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among
competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority(优先)over pizza. Your
instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may
have other choices.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our
point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not
always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation,
and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position
receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome
interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to
persuade. Persuasion may be ethical(合乎道义的)or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading.
Persuaders may enlighten our minds or prey on our vulnerability (弱点). Ethical persuasion, however, calls
on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us
apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of
education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be
persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the
Constitution(美国宪法).
9.According to the passage, persuasion means ________.
A. changing others’ point of view
B. exercising power over other people
C. getting other people to consider your point of view
D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
10.The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”.
A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen
11.The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.
A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well
C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful
12.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. people’s different opinions towards persuade
B. the reasons why people persuade
C. that persuasion is both good and bad
D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us
