D. Answer the questions（依据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
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? Exactly. Because we can watch the neighbors 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 than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. The world is__________.
88. Does a leafy plant sit quietly when it is under attack?
【参考答案】No, it doesn’t.
【思路分析】本小题为细节题目，由第一段” When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. ”
89. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
【参考答案】It sends out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get.
【思路分析】本小题为细节题目，由第一段 “Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get.”
90. How can scientists know that there is someone listening to the crying?
【参考答案】By watching the neighbours react.
【思路分析】本小题为细节题目，由第二段“Because we can watch the neighbors react.”
91. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?
【参考答案】The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
【思路分析】本小题为细节题目，由第三段 “The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.”
92. From the scientists’ studies, can plants protect themselves against insects or really talk to each other?
【参考答案】They can protect themselves against insects.
【思路分析】本小题为细节题目，由第二段 “Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.”及第五段“Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know.”
93. What can be filled in the blank at the end of the passage?
【参考答案】full of wonders and more complex than we think.
【思路分析】本题目为开放性题目,依据“imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak.”可知，这个世界远比大家看到或听到的更热闹、更亲密，大家认知能力有限，有不少事仍在继续发生，这个世界充满了奇迹，远比大家想象的要复杂.

I want to take part in the English contest again
In our life, there are some moments when we want to go back. I wish I could go back to last week when I was asked to take part in an English contest. I was selected to represent the whole class to take part in the contest. This was a golden opportunity, but I was too proud that I didn't make any preparations. As a result, I achieved nothing. I was disappointed. I failed to live up to my teacher’s expectations. Although she didn't blame me for that, I felt awful. I hope I can take part in the contest. And next time, I will certainly make every bit of effort to prepare for it and make my teacher proud of me. I am sure to do better next time.
