小学英语阅读理解篇——树能说话吗

 　即将临近考试，大家的思绪是不是还停留在上次没考好的阴影中，尤其是英语的考试不是突击就能得到提高的，而是要从平时的练习中去积累，现在趁着考试还有几周赶紧学习起来吧，关于英语阅读理解，hellokid老师为大家总结的关于阅读理解的试题：

　　Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

　　Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?

　　1. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.

　　A. are lying on the ground B. have an unpleasant taste

　　C. bees don’t like D. have an unfamiliar shape

　　2. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.

　　A. growing more branches B. communicating with birds and bees

　　C. changing its leaf chemistry D. shaking caterpillars off

　　3. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.

　　A. waving its branches B. giving off a special smell

　　C. dropping its leaves D. changing the colour of its trunk

　　4. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.

　　A. making special movement B. touching one another

　　C. smelling one another D. making unusual sound

　　5. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.

　　A. cannot be taken seriously B. should no longer be permitted

　　C. must be checked more thoroughly D. seems completely reasonable

　　原文翻译：

　　树能说话吗?是的，但不是用语言。科学家有理由相信树木确实彼此交流。不久前，研究人员学到了一些令人惊讶的东西。首先，一棵柳树被毛虫(毛虫)袭击，改变了它的叶子的化学成分，使它们尝起来非常糟糕，以至于它们厌倦了叶子，不再吃了。更让人吃惊的是，这棵树发出了一种特殊的气味——一种信号(信号)，使它的邻居改变了自己叶子的化学成分，使它们变得不那么美味。

　　当然，交流不需要用语言。我们可以通过微笑、抬起肩膀和移动双手来交谈。我们知道鸟类和动物使用完整的词汇，包括歌曲、声音和动作。蜜蜂跳舞，以特定的模式飞行，告诉其他蜜蜂在哪里找到蜂蜜花蜜。那么，为什么树木不应该有发送信息的方式呢?

　　以上，就是关于阅读理解的学习，可以先自己阅读再去做题，对于不理解的地方后边有翻译可以对照学习，积累词汇，学习 重要的就是坚持，赶紧学起来吧。
