The Vine That Ate the South
Kudzu is a fast-growing vine (蔓生植物)that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn't know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path (路径).
In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.
In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil (土壤)from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.
The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after
kudzu covers them because they cannot get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons (毒药)to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.
Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.
(1)We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. kudzu mostly grows in the northern America
B. kudzu was brought to Japan from America
C. kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weather
D. American government has never supported to plant kudzu
(2)The underlined word "tough" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".
A. not easily broken
B. widely used
C. hard to grow
D. important to one's health (3)The last paragraph is mostly about ________.
A. how quickly the vine grows
B. how people use the vine
C. why people want to kill the vine
D. why people eat the vine
(4)The writer uses the title "The Vine That Ate the South" most probably to ________.
A. let readers know that kudzu is a vine
B. interest readers in a humorous way
C. tell readers the vine is a kind of food
D. get readers to realize the passage is serious
【答案】(1)C
(2)A
(3)B
(4)B
【解析】【分析】文章大意:向大家介绍了Kudzu这种蔓生植物,覆盖了美国南部的大块地区,人们使用它的过程和历史,以及它的用途。
(1)细节理解题。
根据 But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather.可知在美国,野葛因为天气温暖潮湿有非常长的生长季,故选C。
(2)词义猜测题。
根据They used poisons (毒药)to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.可知科学家们利用毒药来杀死野葛,然而,一些毒药让它们长得更好。
科学家们也发现挖掘野葛也很困难,可知这种植物真的非常坚韧,很难杀死,故选A。
(3)段落大意题。
根据最后一段讲述了人们如何充分利用野葛,故选B。
(4)写作意图题。
文章主要向我们介绍了Kudzu这种蔓生植物,用吃掉南方的蔓生植物作为题目是用幽默的方式使大家对这个话题感兴趣,故选B。
【点评】考查阅读理解能力,首先通读全文,掌握大意,然后根据问题在原文中找到依据,细节理解题要在文章中找到原句和细节,选出正确答案;主旨大意题要掌握文章大意,了解作者的写作意图,找到关键词,推断题需要联系上下文,推断出需要的信息。

We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the jungle" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt better. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago, in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the a number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the rabbits.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.
(1)The lion is the highest animal in the food chain.
A. ocean
B. land
C. sky
D. Earth
(2)From the first paragraph, we can know that .
A. in the land the shark is at the top of the food chain
B. the shark can swim faster than most other sea animals
C. the shark can also use its big paws to catch other sea animals and eat them
D. the shark can live for a long time
(3)Many years ago, where did people use guns to kill a lot of wild wolves?
A. In Inner Mongolia.
B. In Paris.
C. In Africa.
D. In America.
