In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.
The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.
The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.
4. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?
A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.
B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.
C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.
D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.
5. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poisons.
B. What poisons it produces.
C. How it benefits from the sting.
D. The consequences of its sting.
6. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?
A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.
B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.
C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.
D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's Secret
B. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison You
C. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in Australia
D. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Tree
C
I’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.
Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.
It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.
We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?
I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.
That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll
go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.
8. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .
A. desperate
B. humorous
C. bored
D. worried
9. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?
A. To feel hopeful.
B. To make a wish.
C. To take adventures.
D. To broaden horizons.
10. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By showing evidences.
B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By interpreting opinions.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Where to go for a trip.
B. Why people need to travel.
C. How to fight the pandemic.
D. What people should do at home.
D
Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.
“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.
Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the
plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.
“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”
12. Where did Mrs. Garcia take Maria to one day?
A. The park.
B. The roof.
C. The garden in front of her house.
D. The countryside.
13. Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden?
A. It made the building stronger.
B. It helped keep the air clean.
C. It helped keep the building cooler.
D. It used the empty space well.
14. After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to ________.
A. go back to the countryside
B. pick flowers from the garden
C show her around the park D. grow vegetables on the roof
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. A Creative Lady
B. An Empty Roof
C. A Rooftop Garden
D. A Special Building
