A
Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration? Think again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that you’re probably totally unaware of.
Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus (真菌) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive.
Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.
Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insect’s natural enemy. The enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.
You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock. But did you know that plants also have this clock? This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do. Is it because they can react to light at sunrise? In a study, scientists found that plants use the sugars they produce to keep time, which help to regulate the genes responsible for the plant’s own internal clock. So, in a sense, ―wake up with petunias (矮牵牛) is just as valid as ―wake up with the chickens.
Nature is full of surprises. So for those of you who didn’t know the wonders of plants, now you do.
1、How many ways does the network of fungus serve the plants?
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.
2、What does the underlined words ― “your older brother” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The chemical given off by plants. B．The insect’s natural enemy.
C．The bug attacked by the enemy. D．The plant to be eaten by the insect.
3、What helps the plant keep time?
A．The sugars produced by itself. B．Its own genes.
C．The time of sunrise. D．Its response to light.
4、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To show his love of different plants.
B．To share his study on some awesome plants.
C．To introduce the unknown abilities of plants.
D．To make people aware of plant protection.

B
Most people may think that people who write computer code must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.
Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.
But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, consents. She said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”
Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.
1、Osmo Coding Jam is designed for ________.
A．training kids’ logical thinking
B．helping kids learn to code fast
C．helping children learn math well
D．helping kids become more creative
2、What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?
A．It needs to be improved.
B．It is highly addictive for kids.
C．It is of great help to today’s kids.
D．It is imperfect in training kids’ analytical skill.
3、Which of the following statements is True according to the text?
A．Tanya Dodge agrees that coding is good for children to succeed in future jobs.
B．Many parents doubts whether coding will help children work well in the future.
C．Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.
D．Tanya Dodge has two girls, who play the game, Osmo Coding Jam.
4、What can we know about kids’ learning coding from the last paragraph?
A．It makes them much more confident and creative.
B．It makes them like using computers more.
C．It helps them know better about computers.
D．It helps them know better about themselves.
5、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To tell how to learn to code well.
B．To tell about a new game for kids.
C．To encourage kids to learn to code.
D．To show the importance of creativity.
