9.D

10.C

11.D這是一篇說明文?？茖W家說，當下雨時，植物會進入一種完全“恐慌”的狀態(tài)。研究人員認為，這種“恐慌”反應是由于水分造成了疾病在植物中傳播的頭號途徑。文章還就這一研究提供了其他相關的信息和發(fā)現(xiàn)?！?題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中Whenaraindropsplashesacrossaleaf,tinydropletsofwatergoinalldirections.Thesedropletscancontainbacteria,orviruses.Asingledropletcanspreadtheseupto10meterstosurroundingplants.可知當雨滴濺落在樹葉上時，微小水滴會向四面八方運動。這些液滴可能含有細菌或病毒。一個小水滴就可以把這些擴散到周圍10米的植物上。由此可知，第二段主要講述了為什么下雨時植物會陷入“恐慌”。故選B?！?題詳解】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文rainwithaspraybottle可知他們進行了一項實驗，用噴霧瓶模擬降雨，由此可知劃線單詞意思為“模仿”。故選D?！?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Sothisiswhytheresearchersthinkplantsreacttorainlikehumanswouldreacttosomeonesneezingonthem.可知這就是為什么研究人員認為植物對雨的反應就像人類對別人對他們打噴嚏的反應一樣。由此可推知，作者在第三段中提到這個實驗是為了提供其他與研究主題相關的信息。故選C?！?1題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Plantsthatwererepeatedlywateredeventuallysufferedfromstuntedgrowthanddelayedflowering.可知那些反復澆水的植物最終會出現(xiàn)生長遲緩和花期延遲的問題。由此可知，如果澆水太頻繁，植物可能長得不好。故選D。19.Iconsideredanactivesociallifeasbasichumannecessity.YetwhenitdawnedonmejusthowmuchtimeIwasspendingsocializing,IrealizedImaybetakingittoanextreme.Icalculatedthat,onaverage,Iwasspending22hoursormoreeachweekonsocialactivities.So,toseewhatwouldhappentomyworkoutput,healthandwellbeing,Idecidedtotryandcutoutmysociallifeentirely.Iknew,attimes,Ifilledmyschedulesimplyoutoffearofmissingout(FOMO),butalsoasawaytoshiftfocusawayfrommywork.Foronemonth,Ideclinedallin-personactivitieswithfriends:goingoutfordrinks;dinners;partiesandnon-workrelatedevents,toseeifitwouldmakememoreproductive,improvemyfocusandcareerprospects.Ondayoneofthemonth-longexperiment,Ihadtofightsomeanxietyovermissingout.Butasthedayspassed,Istartedtorelax.IonlyhadoneoptiontoconsiderforSaturdaynight—tostayhome—andthislimitationleftmemoresatisfiedinmydecision.Ifeltmorecontentworking,readingorwatchingTV.WhileIfoundmoretimetowork,Ialsonoticedachangeinmyoverallhealth.Ifoundmyselfcookingmoreathome,doingdailyexercise,gettingtobedearliereachnight,reading,andenjoyingmomentsofrestandboredomthroughouttheday.HavingnosociallifeleftmemorefreetimethanI’dimagine.Suchidlemomentsarevitalforcreativity,andmindwanderinghasbeenlinkedtocreativeproblemsolving.DuringtheexperimentIfoundmyselfregularlybrainstormingnewideasandreimaginingexistingprojects.Ofcoursesocialisingisanimportantwaytobuildworkcontacts.Whileonemonthofnosociallifedidnotimpactmyrelationshipwithexistingclients,ifIhadcontinued,itmayharmmyabilitytobuildnewones.24.Whatdidtheauthorrealizeabouthissocializing?A.Itwasdifficultforhimtocontactpeople.B.It’sanecessarypartofhislifeandwork.C.Hehadspenttoomuchtimeinsocializing.D.Heshouldhavespentmoretimesocializing.25.Howdidtheauthorfeelonthefirstdayofhisexperiment?A.Hefeltanxiousthathemightbeleftout.B.Hefeltmoreenergetictogetdowntowork.C.Hefeltrelaxednothavingtocontactpeople.D.Hefeltdoubtfulwhetherhecouldholdon.26.Whatbenef
