• 2．People often think that plants fight with each other for sunlight，water and soil .Now a new study tells us that this is not true.
     A group of researchers studied plants in southern Spain over three months this summer.The plants grew in very poor soil，with little nutrients （營養(yǎng)） or water.However，the researchers found that the plants helped each other deal with these difficulties.A study in the past showed that plants use fungus （真菌） in the soil as a way to "talk" to each other.It's kind of like the Wi-Fi that we use.For example，if a tomato plant gets a leaf disease，it can tell nearby plants about the disease.
     Bigger plants would protect smaller ones from the sun.They would keep the soil moist （潮濕的）.Their fallen leaves gave nutrients to the smaller plants.This helped them grow.
     At the same time，the bigger plants grew more flowers than those that grew alone.The researchers said that if big and small plants grow together，more pollinators （傳花粉） will come to them.They can also attract more animals like insects and birds.Both sides win!
  
  （1）According to the passage，plants use

  to "talk" to each other.
  A．the Wi-Fi
  B．the fallen leaves
  C．fungus in the soil
  D．nutrients or water
  （2）Bigger plants protect smaller plants by

  .
  A．sharing sunlight with them
  B．having more flowers than other trees
  C．growing bigger and having more leaves
  D．giving them a moist environment and nutrients
  （3）The meaning of "both sides win" in the last paragraph is

  .
  A．big plants will help small plants a lot
  B．plants will grow better by helping each other
  C．there will be one winner between the two sides
  D．more pollinators will come to them if plants fight

• 3．Small，independent bookstores in neighborhoods across the United States are places to discover new books and make friends.About 20 years ago，stores like these were closing in large numbers because of competition from large bookstores and online book sales.But about 10 years ago something unusual happened：independent bookstores seemingly came back to life.
     In a Virginia community called Arlington，many people buy their books at a store called One More Page Books.Customer Kate Oberdorfer looks through an unusual mix of books：mysteries，cookbooks，and biographies（傳記） of famous people.Oberdorfer talks about a few of the books with Lelia Nebeker. "I do think it's a special place for people to come，" said Nebeker.She lives nearby and buys books from the store，which opened eight years ago.
     After almost dying off，small，independent bookstores grew by 35 percent between 2009 and 2015.The American Booksellers Association says sales at the more than 2，400 bookstores across the country rose about 5 percent over the past year.
     Independent bookstores know they have to sell more than books. One More Page tries to appeal to people by offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book.
     It's also a place where you can come for events，meet writers，get books signed，and buy books you might not necessarily find on your own，including books by Ed Aymar，a local writer.He is talking to customers about his latest book，The Unrepentant.Nearby a woman is performing songs related to the story.
     Angie Kim，another local writer，came to support Aymar. "I've been here for 5 events just in the last couple of months，" she said. "I think it's just a way to show the bookstore that we care about spaces like this and that we want them to continue."
  
  （1）What does the writer mainly want to show in Paragraph1？

  
  A．The fall of bookstores in the past.
  B．The role of small bookstores in history.
  C．The rise of independent bookstores in the US.
  D．The competition between different bookstores.
  （2）What do we know about One More Page Books？

  
  A．It has had its ups and downs.
  B．It provides many free books.
  C．It is mainly supported by local writers.
  D．It offers many different kinds of books.
  （3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Offer more services.
  B．Perform more duties.
  C．Create more needs.
  D．Provide more books.
  （4）Why does Angie Kim support Aymar？

  
  A．To make herself known to customers.
  B．To attract more local writers' interest.
  C．To continue the events she attended before.
  D．To help to develop independent bookstores.

• 4．It was eleven o' clock at night，a large woman was walking towards home.She had a large purse with everything but money.It hung right behind her shoulder.A boy ran up and tried to snatch her purse.The large woman simply turned around，caught the boy by his shirt，and shook him until his teeth rattled.
     After that，the woman asked， "Boy，aren't you ashamed of yourself？"
     "I'm sorry，" whispered the boy.
     "What did you want to do it for？Your face is dirty.Nobody at home to tell you to wash your face？"
     The boy shook his head.
     "Then，" the woman shouted， "it will get washed this evening.You are going to remember Mrs.Jones!" She dragged the frightened boy behind her and got to her door.
     "Are you taking me to the police？" The boy asked.
     "Not with that face!Have you been home to eat yet？"
     "There's nobody at my house."
     "Then we'll eat，" said Mrs.Jones. "I believe you' re hungry，so you tried to steal."
     "I wanted a pair of leather shoes，" said the boy.
     "Well，you didn't have to snatch my purse to get things you want.Besides，there's little money in it."
     There was a long pause.After he washed his face and turned around，wondering what to do next，he saw the door was open.He could run，run，run!
     In the corner of the room，Mrs.Jones was heating some beans.She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run，nor did she watch her purse which she left behind on the bed. But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room，away from the purse，where he thought she could easily see him.
     "Do you need somebody to get milk or something？" The boy asked.
     "Unless you want，" said Mrs.Jones.
     As they ate，she didn't ask about where he lived，or his family，or anything that would embarrass him.Instead，she said， "eat some more，boy!"
     When they finished eating，she got up. "Now here，take this ten dollars and buy your shoes.Next time，don't snatch my purse，nor anybody else's—shoes got in bad ways will burn your feet!"
     The boy really wanted to say something to Mrs.Jones.But he failed to say a word as he turned at the foot of the steps and looked up at the large woman.
  
  （1）According to the passage，we can learn that the woman

  .
  A．caught the boy right away
  B．held the purse in her arms
  C．walked home in the morning
  D．had a purse with much money
  （2）What can you infer from the underlined sentence？

  
  A．The boy felt frightened and was waiting for a chance to escape.
  B．The boy wanted Mrs.Jones to punish him because of his mistake.
  C．The boy knew Mrs.Jones would give him some money to buy shoes.
  D．The boy realized his mistake and didn't want Mrs.Jones to doubt him.
  （3）Why did the boy fail to say a word to Mrs.Jones in the end？

  
  A．Because he refused to take the woman's advice.
  B．Because he was so touched by the woman.
  C．Because he was afraid of the big woman.
  D．Because he had nothing to say but keep silent.
  （4）Which of the following may be the best title of the passage？

  
  A．Run，Boy，Run

• 5．"You can tune a piano，but you can't tuna fish." Upon reading the sentence，you' re either laughing，scratching your head or rolling your eyes.Welcome to the world of puns.
     A pun is a clever and humorous use of a word or phrase with two meanings，or of words with the same sound but different meanings.For example，in the first sentence，the usage of "tuna" is a pun because it sounds like "tune a".Of course you can't "tune a" fish，but it's a clever way of using words in an unexpected way.
     People generally either love puns or hate them.They have a long history throughout many cultures of the world including ancient Egypt，Mesopotamia and Chjye.aia.In the Western world，the English playwright William Shakespeare is probably the most well-known punster.
     "They can show how clever you are." Peter McGraw，the director of the Humor Research Lab at the University，of Colorado in the US said. "It depends on a person's ability to understand the complexities and small differences of words because puns are a tool to put more meanings into fewer words."
     Puns are used widely throughout popular culture on TV，ad campaigns and marketing.For example，walk down any British shopping street and you will find shops with interesting names，such as a weight-loss centre called "Stop Weighting"，the butcher's called "Meat You Here" and a fish and chips shop called "The Plaice to Enjoy".
     You can try writing your own puns，but remember，don't write with a broken pencil because it's pointless.
  
  （1）A pun is a form that

  .
  A．uses words in a clever and surprising way
  B．puts words with the same meaning together
  C．changes the meanings of the words or phrases
  D．shows the relationship between pianos and fish
  （2）From Peter McGraw's words，we can learn that

  .
  A．there are just a few words in one pun
  B．puns are a tool to know meanings of words
  C．differences between two puns are hard to tell
  D．understanding puns requires intelligent readers
  （3）The underlined word "Plaice" in the passage refers to

  .
  A．a(chǎn) special day to get together
  B．a(chǎn) great place to buy toys
  C．a(chǎn) type of sea fish used for food
  D．a(chǎn) TV programme to learn cooking
  （4）What is the writing purpose of this passage？

  
  A．To tell the importance of puns.
  B．To share some facts about puns.
  C．To give some examples of puns.
  D．To introduce the history of puns.
