Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Take care of your plants! They may “scream(尖叫)” if you don’t treat them well. This is just a saying, but a new study found that plants can make sounds when they are stressed(有压力的).
Researchers recorded(记录) plant sounds by putting some plants in quiet boxes. And at the same time, they recorded their sounds with some special microphones(麦克风). There were three groups of plants: researchers didn’t water the first group for five days; they cut off the second group’s stems; they left the last group alone. The microphones collected sounds from the first two groups. These sounds were like popcorn popping(爆米花爆裂). Sad plants made these popping sounds 30 to 50 times every hour, but the plants of the last group made them only once every hour.
Scientists aren’t sure how the plants made these sounds, but they think it might happen when small air bubbles(泡) within the plant pop. The team used these sounds to create a computer program. It can tell if(是否) plants are thirsty or hurt. This can help farmers know when their plants need water or care.
()11. When might plants keep making sounds according to the study?
A. When they are thirsty.
B. When farmers water them.
C. When we leave them alone.
D. When people play music for them.
()12. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Why the researchers did the study.
B. How the researchers did the study.
C. When the researchers did the study.
D. Who can use the result of the study.
()13. How does the study help farmers?
A. Farmers can grow lots of plants.
B. Farmers will have a good harvest.
C. Farmers can talk with their plants in plant language.
D. Farmers can know when to water and care for their plants.

()14. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. New Technology for Farmers
B. How to Take Care of Your Plants
C. The Importance of Watering Plants
D. Plants Can Make Sounds When They Are Stressed
()15. Where can we read this passage?
A. In a storybook.
B. In a movie.
C. In a science magazine.
D. In a geography textbook.
