III. Reading Comprehension (35 points)
Passage One (1*5=5 points)
Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words, Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate 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 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 talk to each other by raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of song, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain places that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of spreading message?
41. 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

B. communicating with birds and bees C. changing its leaf chemistry D. shaking caterpillars off
43. 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 color of its trunk
44. According to this passage, bees communicate by______. A. making special movement B. touching one another C. smelling one another D. making unusual sound. 45. 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 Passage Two (1*5=5 points)
Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food, when some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered.\had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the man from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them.
