第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems（茎）hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
1、Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A．To analyze the content of some food.
B．To describe tie shape of dodder plants.
C．To explain where the dodder plants come from.
D．To argue that dodder plants can be used.
2、What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?
A．It will die sooner or later.
B．It will grow deep roots.
C．It will attract other plants.
D．It will cover the entire area of soil.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Dodder does not produce its own food.
B．Dodder can affect farmers’ income.
C．Dodder can only survive in the shade.
D．Dodder only grows in the warm areas.
4、What is the main topic of the passage?
A．A new variety of farm crops.
B．Plants that are harmful to humans.
C．The special abilities of a dangerous plant.
D．Recent improvements in farming methods.

B
As free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.
Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.
“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, "said inventor Evelyn Aravena. "Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? 'After that, we thought, why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not? ' "
Their invention — a small biological circuit called E-Kaia - uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.
"It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them. " said Mauricio Cifuentes.
The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.
"Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.
But plants are everywhere, and the biocircuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.
The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.
The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.
1、How could the students get the "green" power idea?
A．By carrying out an experiment.
B．Just from an occasional thought.
C．With the support of their professors.
D．Enlightened(启发) by the information in a science book.
2、How does the device work?
A．By using the energy during photosynthesis. B．By using a small biological circuit.
C．By using the electricity stored in the device. D．By using a device buried in the ground.
3、What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said?
A．He intended to buy the patent.
B．The device was made in a rough way.
C．He showed great interest in the device.
D．He attempted to produce the device in large numbers.
4、What might be the best title for the passage?
A．A New Device to Change the World
B．Green Power - A New and Potential Source
C．Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge Phones
D．A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale

People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 2 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods 3 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing . There are six 4 .
5 , the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 6 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 7 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 8 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 9 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 10 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 11 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes 12 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 13 the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 14 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 15 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 16 idea comes quite 17 because the thinker suddenly sees something in a 18 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.
Finally the solution is 20 Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.
