    We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we make it known to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and share hews too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound, though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.
    Willow(柳树) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects(昆虫) begin nibbling(叮咬) a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical(化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves from the insects.
    The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too.
    【小题1】Willow trees send messages with _________.

    A．wordsB．movementsC．smellsD．sounds
    【小题2】the underlined word “lips” in the first paragraph means ________.
    A．树干B．嘴唇C．枝条D．手势
    【小题3】 The passage tells us that some of the trees can ________.
    A．speak just as people doB．tell stories to others
    C．communicate with each otherD．kill insects in the woods
    【小题4】According to the passage, the right order of the following is ________.
    a. The willow tree gives out a smell.
    b. The willow trees make a chemical in their leaves.
    c. Insects fly a way because of the chemical.
    d. Insects begin nibbling a willow tree.
    A．d-a-b-cB．d-b-a-cC．a-b-c-dD．d-c-b-a


    【小题1】C
    【小题1】B
    【小题1】C
    【小题1】A

    解析【小题1】细节理解题，由文中语句“When insects begin nibbling (叮咬) a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near.”可知选C。
    【小题2】词义推断题，由文中涉及到人类用嘴说话，而树木没有挪动lips而像人一样，故推测是嘴唇，选B。
    【小题3】细节理解题，由文中语句“some trees do manage to communicate with each other.”可知选C。。
    【小题4】细节理解题 ，从文章的第二段的内容，可知先昆虫咬了柳树，然后柳树发出味道，柳树在树叶里有化学物质，然后是昆虫飞走了。选A。

    One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I  was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, and I thought , “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him,“Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”
    “Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”
    I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it? ”
    “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised.
    “Did you say ‘You don’t say!’?” I asked again.
    Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ means ‘Really’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms(惯用语).”
    Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

    A year ago，I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
    One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought , perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

    科目：初中英语 来源：2012-2013学年江苏省扬州市九年级3月练习英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业)company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job —I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma(精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her present high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn’t probe(彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受)my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had —a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.

    1.The author took part in the interview because _______.

    A．he had lost his job and wanted to find a new one

    B．he had to support his family in Boston

    C．his wife had recently died of a heart attack

    D．his daughter needed money for schooling

    2. The underlined word "empathetic “in the second paragraph means _____.

    A．kind             B．easy-going         C．smart             D．understanding

    3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

    A．Bruce invited the author to lunch later.

    B．Bruce shared his life experience with the author.

    C．Bruce was willing to help the author.

    D．Bruce finally gave the job to the author.

    4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

    A．Bruce and the author saw each other often

    B．the author got little help from Bruce

    C．the author learned much from the job interview

    D．the author had a better life afterwards

    5. What is the best title for the passage?

    A．An act of kindness

    B．A pleasant interview

    C．The same experience

    D．An important lesson
