In the story Snow White,the jealous queen decides to get rid of Snow White once and for all with an apple dipped in deadly poison(毒药).Thanks to some helpful dwarfs and a handsome prince,Snow White recovers(恢复).But the queen didn't need to go to all that trouble.In fact,apples,along with many common fruits we eat are already poisonous!But don't worry—it won't harm you.It's only the seeds you need to avoid.
Apple trees belong to a plant family called Prunus(蔷薇科树).This group also includes peaches,cherries and so on.The seeds and pits(果核)of all these fruits contain a chemical called amygdalin(苦杏仁苷).Inside an animal's stomach,amygdalin turns into a strong poison called cyanide(氰化物).And cyanide can make people and animals very sick,or even kill them.
Still,don't worry if you accidentally swallow a few apple seeds.Each seed has only a very tiny amount of poison.You'd have to eat a large bowlful of seeds to feel any effect.And you'd need to chew them well-the hard, shiny shells of apple seeds keep the poison locked inside.Unchewed seeds usually pass right through and come out whole in your poop(粪便).But cows and other animals often chew up seeds along with the fruit,so they can get sick from eating apples and plums that fall to the ground.
Why would a tree make poisoned seeds?To stop animals from nibbling on them!Amygdalin
tastes terrible.It's also found in leaves and other parts of fruit trees.If a deer or cow chews on apple leaves,it gets a nasty taste and an upset stomach.Animals soon learn to leave those trees alone.Thanks,amygdalin!
34.Why does the writer mention the story of Snow White in the first paragraph?
A.To amuse the readers.
B.To provide an example.
C.To express an opinion.
D.To lead in to the topic.
35.According to the passage,amygdalin is contained in______________.
36.What does the underlined word"nibble"mean in paragraph four?
A.pollute
B.touch
C.break
D.cat
37.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.A tree makes poisoned seeds to protect itself.
B.There's tiny amount of poison in each apple seed.
C.It's not harmful for animals to chew up seeds with fruit.
D.It's just OK to swallow several seeds without chewing up.
(C)
