Spring is coming! We can see another round of flowers. The peach blossom (桃花) is one of those flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April.
If you want to see peach blossoms, you can go to Pinggu in Beijing, Nanhui in Shanghai or Longquan in Chengdu. But the most special place to go is Nyingchi in Tibet. Under the blue sky, white snow covers green mountains. At the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of pink peach blossoms.
Chinese people love the peach blossom. Many people write poems about it. People usually compare (比作) the peach blossoms to beautiful young women. A famous sentence goes as, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.” The peach blossom is like the flush on a shy woman’s face.
Chinese people also say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. Some people’s eyes are in the shape of peach petals. We call eyes like that “taohuayan”. Those people may have “peach blossom luck”.

Scientists found plants seemed to be doing some “talking”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (记录) some plants in different places. Their recordings revealed that the plants made some sounds.
When the scientists changed their recordings so that people could hear them clearly, they heard clicking (咔嗒) sounds. But they also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.
When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having.
Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. Plants being eaten by other animals send chemicals (化学物质) into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another big question is: Is anything listening to the plants Hadany points out that she and her team will study if there are plants or animals answering the clicking sounds plants make.
The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.”
29．What does the underlined word “revealed” mean
A．Used. B．Left. C．Sent. D．Showed.
30．Which of the following ideas does the writer mention
A．Plants hardly talk when they have enough water.
B．Plants click more when the weather becomes wet.
C．Plants click less when they meet dangerous animals.
D．People can’t hear plants’ sounds because they are too quiet.
31．Which question are Hadany and her team going to study next
A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds
B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants
C．Are there plants or animals answering plants’ clicking sounds
D．How can people tell the differences between different clicking sounds
32．What does the passage mainly want to talk about
A．Scientists found useful plants. B．Scientists found how plants live.
C．Scientists found plants can “talk”. D．Scientists found plants can feel happy.
In Kunming, there is a special thing every year. Since 1985, many seagulls (海鸥) have been visiting Kunming, These birds go a long way from the cold Siberia (西伯利亚) to find a warm place to stay in winter.
It is hard for these seagulls to come to Kunming. They migrate (迁徙) from far-away cold Siberia to our hometown. They fly over mountains and rivers. They fly about 80 kilometers to the south every day, facing bad weather and many dangers along the way. It is about 6,000 kilometers to get to Kunming from Siberia.
Seagulls like to be with their friends. They live in large groups for safety. When one seagull sees danger, it will make loud noise to tell others in the group. This helps them stay away from danger.
A few years ago, scientists studied these seagulls. They put small GPS on some birds to learn more about where they go. They found out that the seagulls visited other places like Lake Erhai in Dali or even Myanmar (缅甸) before deciding that Kunming is the best place. The seagulls usually arrive in Kunming in October and stay here until March.
So, why do seagulls like Kunming so much Winter in Kunming is not too cold, with a nice temperature of about 10℃, which is friendly to seagulls. They also find a lot of food in Dianchi Lake. And the people of Kunming often give food to the seagulls in their free time. This makes Kunming not only a good living place for seagulls but also a place where they get love from Kunming people.
33．How long does it take seagulls to fly from Siberia to Kunming according to the text
A．About one month. B．About two and a half months.

Scientists found plants seemed to be doing some “talking”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (记录) some plants in different places. Their recordings revealed that the plants made some sounds.
When the scientists changed their recordings so that people could hear them clearly, they heard clicking (咔嗒) sounds. But they also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.
When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having.
Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. Plants being eaten by other animals send chemicals (化学物质) into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another big question is: Is anything listening to the plants Hadany points out that she and her team will study if there are plants or animals answering the clicking sounds plants make.
The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.”

In Kunming, there is a special thing every year. Since 1985, many seagulls (海鸥) have been visiting Kunming, These birds go a long way from the cold Siberia (西伯利亚) to find a warm place to stay in winter.
