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.
上海夜生活论坛 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?
71. 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
上海夜生活论坛 C. bees don’t like D. have an unfamiliar shape
上海夜生活论坛 72. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.
A. growing more branches B. communicating with birds and bees
上海夜生活论坛 C. changing its leaf chemistry D. shaking caterpillars off
73. 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
上海夜生活论坛 C. dropping its leaves D. changing the colour of its trunk
