[2024 广东东莞二模]The “April snow” is here! It's not real snow, of course. It's catkins (飞絮) from willows and poplars (杨树) in spring.
For some people, this “snow” is not welcomed. Catkins can trigger allergies (过敏症), making people's noses, eyes, and skin uncomfortable.
In spring, the female trees grow lots of flowers. When these flowers finish growing, they produce cotton - like seeds that spread through the air.
Luckily, scientists have found many ways to control catkins. Doing “gender change surgery (变性手术)” on willows and poplars is one of them. People cut off the branches of female trees and take the place of them with branches from male trees. This cuts down the number of catkins. However, this way is slow and expensive. A skilled worker can do the “surgery” on less than ten trees a day. It was reported that from 2008 to 2018, only around 1,000 trees were treated in Beijing.
Scientists in Wuxi, Jiangsu, give the trees special injections (注射) to reduce the number of catkins. These injections make the trees mainly use their energy to grow bigger and get more leaves, not to reproduce and make catkins. Xu Qinming, an expert in Wuxi, said that this method was safe for the trees. However, the trees need to get injections every year to keep the catkin number under control.
Other than injections, the trees can take “medicine”. This medicine can be sprayed (喷洒) onto the trees before the catkins form, which can quickly reduce the number of catkins. Still, people need to be careful about how much medicine they use and when they use it, or they might hurt the environment.
()24. What can we infer from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. Catkins are hard to see.
B. It's normal to snow in April.
C. People welcome willows.
D. It's uncomfortable to breathe in catkins for some people.
()25. What does the “gender change surgery” refer to?
A. Replacing the branches of female trees with those from male trees.
B. Planting more male trees.
C. Planting more female trees.
D. Changing the gender of the branches by medicine.
()26. How many ways are introduced to deal with catkins?
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
()27. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. How to play with catkins.
B. How to control catkins with new technology.
C. How to tell male and female willow trees apart.
D. How to protect willows and poplars.
