任务三 阅读理解B(8分)
[2025福建福州期末]Plants are rooted (扎根) in one place. They can't turn away from danger or walk over the sunny side of the garden. So they have to develop some special ways to protect themselves and grow in nature.
Some scientists found that plants can sense their surroundings (环境). You've all seen plants grow towards light which is called phototropism. Even if the tops of them are cut off, the plants don't change the direction. They sense the light and tell the rest of the plants how to grow then.
Some plants "talk" with each other by using "airmail" to warn each other of danger. Researchers in England cut the leaves of cabbages. The cabbages then produce a tiny number of chemicals that protect themselves from some insects. Strangely, the cabbages which aren't cut nearby also begin to give off their own different chemicals. That means they seem to receive a warning from their cabbage neighbours.
Most amazingly, plants have a great system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest by fungus. It connects the roots of different plants to each other. Scientists call the system the "wood wide web", similar to the internet we use. Using the network, plants can communicate and share information and even food with each other.
Whatever the case is, plants are stranger and more wonderful than we can imagine.

情境4 然后,小组开展"古今沟通方式对比"的社团活动,成员们结合过去面对面交流、现在依赖科技进行社交的内容,分享自己用不同方式和亲友沟通的故事,探讨哪种沟通方式更能拉近心与心的距离。

15—18 A C B D
15. A 细节理解题。根据“The cabbages then... from some insects.”可知，卷心菜会产生少量的化学物质来保护自己免受某些昆虫的侵害。
16. C 细节理解题。根据第二段首句及倒数第二段首句可知，植物可以感知周围环境，且有一个强大的沟通系统，因此①③正确。
17. B 细节理解题。根据“It connects the roots of different plants to each other...”可知，真菌通过将不同植物的根连接起来，形成“木质广域网”。
18. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，植物通过“木质广域网”而不是互联网进行信息或食物的分享。故选 D 项。
