Unit 1 Art reading课时作业阅读理解A(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)When a leafy plant is under attack，it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983，two scientists，Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin，reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds，VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It's a plant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening？Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the_tables_are_turned.The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study，it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant，but the neighbors, relatively speaking ，stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.语篇解读：研究发现，植物受到昆虫攻击时，会通过两种方式实施自我保护：第一种是释放一种化学物质，让周围的邻居接收后减少伤害；第二种是产生一种香味引来袭击者的天敌消灭袭击者。

Unit 1 Art reading作业第一节阅读理解AThe right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights of any democracy. Yet, for too long, too many of our fellow citizens were denied that right simply because of the color of their skin.Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson signed a law to change that. The V oting Rights Act broke down legal barriers that stood between millions of African Americans and their constitutional right to cast ballot(投票). It was, and still is, one of the greatest victories in our country’s struggle for civil rights. But it didn’t happen overnight. Countless men and women marched and organized, sat in and stood up, for our most basic rights. For this, they were called agitators(挑拨者) and un-American; they were jailed and beaten. Some were even killed. But in the end, they reaffirmed the idea at the very heart of America: that people who love this country can change it.Our country is a better place because of all those heroes did for us. But as one of those heroes, Congressman John Lewis, reminded us in Selma this past March, “There’s still work to be done.” Fifty years after the V oting Rights Act, there are still too many barriers to vote, and too many people trying to erect（建立）new ones. We’ve seen laws that roll back early voting, force people to jump through hoops to cast a ballot or lead to legitimate (合法的) voters being improperly purged from the rolls. Over the years, we have seen provisions (规定) specifically designed to make it harder for some of our fellow citizens to vote. In a democracy like ours, with a history like ours, that’s a disgrace. That’s why, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the V oting Rights Act, I’m calling on Congress to pass new legislation to make sure every American has equal access to the polls.It’s why I support the organizers getting folks registered in their communities. And it’s why, no matter what party you support, my message to every American is simple: get out there and vote—not just every four years, but every chance you get, because your elected officials will only heed(留心) your voice if you make your voice heard. The promise that all of us are created equal is written into our founding documents but it’s up to us to make that promise real. Together, let’s do what Americans have always done: Let’s keep marching forward, keep perfecting our union, and keep building a better country for our kids.[From Obama Weekly Address Aug 8th , 2015]1. Many Americans were denied the right to vote simply because _____.A. they were unwilling to go out and voteB. they were agitators and un-AmericanC. too many people tried to erect new barriersD. the color of their skin was different2. What message does President Barack Obama want to convey in this speech?A. The President underlined that all people are created equal.B. The President celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the V oting Rights Act.C. The President reaffirmed the commitment to protecting the right to vote.D. The President called on everyone to seize every chance to elect officials.BThere is one holiday in the year which is completely American, Thanksgiving Day. It is the day when everyone goes back home to spend the day with his family, to have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roast turkey, to talk about old times.This is a story of Thanksgiving Day and of one man's efforts, under rather special circumstances, to carry on these traditions.Old Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock, and each time the same pleasant thing had happened. But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger.Certainly today Pete was not hungry. He had just had a dinner so enormous that he could hardly breathe. The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst. He was so full of soup, oysters, roast turkey, apple pie, ice cream, and a dozen other rich foods that the November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to his face.The meal had been completely unexpected. He had been passing one of the large homes on Fifth Avenue, where there lived two rich old ladies. It seems that it was their custom each Thanksgiving to place a servant at the front entrance with orders to bring in the first hungry looking person that passed and then give him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat. On this particular Thanksgiving Day, Pete had passed, the servant had brought him in, and, before Pete knew it, he was being served like a king with more food than he could eat.Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move. He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the Old Gentleman coming toward him. He wanted to get upand run, but he was so full of food that he stayed right there. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman had come here, and found Pete on this same bench, and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner. It was a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman, who had no family and lived alone, had tried to continue. The old man was tall and thin and sixty years old. He was aristocratic looking and he always dressed in black. His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been the year before, and he leaned more heavily on his cane than he used to."How do you do!" said the Old Gentleman. "I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world."Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thing. It was part of the tradition. Old Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten. This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman."Thank you, sir," said Old Pete at last. "I'll go with you gladly. I'm very hungry sir."Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. They sat at the same table. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentleman sat quietly and smiled. Under the circumstance, Pete had to eat. It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero. Soup, oysters, roast turkey, pie, he ate everything, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of more food almost made him sick. At last Pete leaned back with the battle won."Thank you sir," he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner."They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentleman going south, Pete north.Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, then fell to the sidewalk unconscious. A little later an ambulance came. In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion.An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital. At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said,"That nice old gentleman over there-- you wouldn't think that it was a case of starvation. Proud old family, I suppose. He tol d me that he hadn't eaten a thing for three days.”3. This year Old Pete came to the Union Square because ______.A. he was hungry and expected to find some foodB. he had nowhere to go on the Thanksgiving DayC. he wanted to meet the Old Gentleman and check his healthD. i t was a convention for him to accept the Old Gentleman’s dinner4. Why didn’t Old Pete refuse the invitation from the Old Gentleman?A. Because he felt he had more room for food.B. Because he realized he was involved in the tradition.C. Because he felt moved by the Old Gentlemen’s generosity.D. Because h e didn’t dare to tell the old man he had already eaten.5. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Only the Old Gentlemen observed Thanksgiving Day traditions.B. The two gentlemen were both hospitalized because of hunger.C. The Thanksgiving dinner offered by the Old Gentleman is more than dinner itself.D. The food in the restaurant tastes better than that in large homes on Fifth Avenue.6. What can we learn from the two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen?A. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.B. They are really gentlemen true to their word.C. They are too vain to express their true feelings.D. The conduct of the two gentlemen is really absurd.CToday, many species of animals and plants are endangered. This means they are in danger of becoming extinct and living on only in the pages of history books. The famous dodo is a classic example of a creature that became extinct. A flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius, it was discovered by sailors in 1598 but was hunted to extinction by 1681.Hunting has caused the Bengal tiger and the African elephant to be endangered today but habitat destruction can also lead to extinction. This is equally true for plants. Animals and plants disappear for other reasons too, but the main cause is often a disruption（打乱，破坏）in the natural food chain, whether due to hunting, habitat destruction, or even the introduction of alien species.The natural food chain is the cycle that governs the existence of all life on this planet. It is a carefully balanced cycle and any imbalance that occurs can cause knock-on effects that have serious consequences. At the beginning of the natural food chain are plants which turn sunlight into energy and draw nutrients from the earth. Plants are called producers.After the producers come the consumers. There are three tiers of consumers. First are creatures such as plant-eating animals, fish and insects which feed off the producers. These animals that only eat plants are called herbivores. The second tier of consumers are carnivores - animals that live off other animals. The third tier of consumers eats both other animals and plants. These consumers, including most humans, are called omnivores.After animals and plants die, they become food for other smaller creatures, such as bacteria and some plants, such as fungi. As they feed, these creatures turn the dead bodies back into gases and minerals which are again food for the producers at the beginning of the food chain. And so the cycle continues.All of nature is connected and governed by hundreds of these delicate food chains and if a single plant in the chain cannot survive, then the insects that live off the plant start to die and the animals that eat the insects also start to die.When a food chain is disrupted, the consequences can be extremely serious. One estimate suggests that for each plant species that is lost, up to 30 animals and insects may also die out. One wonders how many species were affected by the extinction of the dodo?Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains. We've already mentioned hunting but now let's look at travel. When people first started to explore the world they took plant and animal species from their home countries and introduced them wherever they went. They didn't realize that by introducing alien species they were disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they discovered. Although there are strict rules in place today controlling the import and export of alien species, some places are still fighting the effects of aliens introduced hundreds of years ago.For example, Gough Island in the South Atlantic Ocean is a breeding ground for albatrosses that have been nesting there for centuries. But in the 19th century, mice from passing ships were brought to the island. Being a species alien to the island, they had no natural predators and have now grown to such a size that they are attacking and killing albatross chicks. If they are allowed to continue, they will wipe out the albatross population.With import laws and people's rising awareness of how humans affect the natural environment, hopefully we can learn to fit better into the natural food chains that govern our world. Otherwise we need to accept that the loss of any more plants and animals could eventually mean our own extinction.7. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?A. Hunting and habitat destruction lead to extinction.B. Many species of animals and plants are endangered.C. Plants and animals become extinct for the same reasons.D. The main cause of extinction is often a disruption in the natural food chain.8. Which of the following sentence is TRUE according to the passage?A. Strict rules alone can remove the bad effects of alien species.B. Plants, herbivores and carnivores are the three tiers of consumers.C. If a bird becomes extinct, the relevant food chain will be disrupted.D. Animals and plants become extinct because alien species are imported.9. By mentioning the mice in Gough Island, the author intends to highlight ______.A. mice worldwide are growing all the timeB. being aliens, they had no natural predatorsC. some places are still fighting the effects of aliensD. traveling can have disastrous effects on food chains10. What is the best title of the passage?A. Survival of the fittest.B. Endangered animals and plants.C. How to protect the natural environment.D. The link between food chains and extinction.DWhat will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, public colleges, and land-grant schools in the timeline of America.In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of change ever, with several multitrillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million, with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollab le” in many parts of the world.The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels, particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainableenvironment, and longer life spans that most Americans share.“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. … We are part of the problem.”Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said, are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State — which he calls the “new American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to ta ke risks.”Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by 500 percent.Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells us we have to be.” Research universities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He discussed, for example, the school’s distance-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, wh ich helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning technologies.He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their later degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.11. The fourth wave of change in America’s higher educati on refers to _______.A. public collegesB. land-grant schoolsC. research universitiesD. initial higher education12. Which is NOT part of the American dream most people share?A. People enjoy a quality life.B. People live longer and longer.C. The freedom to move around.D. An environment that is sustainable.13. Which is an initiative adopted by Crow at Arizona State University?A. Restructuring the teachers College.B. Launching the School of Life Sciences.C. Ignoring the linkages between disciplines.D. Enrolling more students from poor families.14. Which one is similar to the underlined word “architect” in meaning?A. The author of the guidebook is an architect by profession.B. If you want to refurnish the house, consult the architect.C. Deng Xiaoping is one of the architects of the PRC.D. Tom is considered one of the best landscape architect here.15. With the distance-learning program, Arizona State University is able to ______.A. enroll 40% of its students onlineB. keep costs down without a loss of qualityC. provide an even greater number of coursesD. attract the most gifted students all over the world第二节任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入恰当的单词。
