3．Bear and Hare Warm Up One cold frosty morning，Bear woke up from the middle of his long winter sleep.He walked around outside his home and noticed that the water in the lake had frozen over.
"Good thing I'm not made of water，" he said， "or I'd turn to ice."
"But you are made of water，" said Hare，who was tumbling around on a snow bank beside him. "Over half your body is water."
"You must be fooling，" said Bear.He looked at his body.His arms didn't look like water.His legs didn't look like water.His paws didn't look like water.
"Think of all your blood，" said Hare. "Your blood's made of water.In fact，all your parts are made of cells，and cells are made of water."
Bear rubbed his paws together and blew on them to keep them warm. "I don't want to freeze like the lake，" he said.
"Don't worry，" Hare giggled. "We're warm-blooded animals.That means our body temperature stays the same，even when it's cold outside.Besides，our body water isn't pure water.It contains organic molecules（分子）like sodium（钠）and potassium（钾）that make its freezing point lower than regular.We can only freeze in very extreme conditions."
"Brrrrrr." Bear shook because of the cold.
"See，when you shake like that，your body's using energy to make more heat and warm you up."
"I know a better way to warm up，" said Bear. "Let's go inside."
They walked into Hare's house.Bear relaxed by the fireplace.A few minutes later，the snow on his fur melted and dripped into puddles on the floor.
A teapot whistled on the store.Bear looked at the teapot and saw a thick stream of steam shooting into the air.
"How are you feeling now？" Hare asked as he brought Bear a cup of black tea.
"I'm still afraid，" Bear said as he touched the steaming teacup in his paws.
"Don't be silly，" Hare told him. "Even though you're made of water，you know you aren't going to turn to ice."
"I know，" Bear said. "But now I'm afraid I'll evaporate."

B．Bear just found the water in the lake turned into water.
C．Bear hadn't drunk any water during his long winter sleep.

A．The water in their blood is less salty than the water in the lake.
B．The water in their blood is much thinner than the water in the lake.
C．The water in their blood has chemicals that make it harder to freeze.
D．The water in their blood is pure water，while the water in the lake is not.

4．Can plants talk？Modem study has found something amazing：they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other.This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects.The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves hat are being eaten.This is like a warning，or a call for help："I'm being attacked!" When another plant gets the chemicals，it starts to give out its own，different chemicals.Some of these chemicals drive insects away.Others attract the wasps （黄蜂）!The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants.Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system，so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly，plants also use sounds to communicate.People can't hear these sounds，but plants are making them.Some plants make noises with their roots.Com and chili plants do this.Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all，plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest.Scientists call this system the "wood wide web".The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi （真菌）.It links the roots of different plants to each other.It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.Using the wood wide web，plants can share information and even food with each other.However，it may lead to bad effects.Plants may use it to steal food from each other，or spread chemicals to attack other plants.Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other.Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to"talk" with them ourselves.
（1）What will plants do when they are attacked by insects？
A．They will kill the insects by themselves.
B．They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C．They will send out signals to ask for food.
D．They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
（2）How is the wood wide web linked by fungi？
A．By making noises with their roots.
B．By spreading chemicals to each other.
C．By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
D．By leading to bad effects.
（3）What is the writer's purpose of the last paragraph？
A．To give people hope for further studies.
B．To praise scientists for their great achievements.
C．To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D．To encourage people to grow more plants.
（4）Which is the best title for the passage？
A．The secret language of plants.
B．The plants that make sounds.
C．The study on the wood wide web.
D．The study on the wasps.组卷：15引用：3难度：0.7
