Last October , while tending her garden in Mora , Sweden , Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small (carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer , and she noticed a (shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.
Pahlsson screamedloudly that her daughter came running from the house. “she thought I had hurt(I),”says Pahlsson
Sixteen years(early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters —then ten, eight, and six— had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it.
Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, it remained until the carrot's leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was wonder.

【答案】carrots;shiny/shining;so;myself;earlier;to cook;searched;swept;where;a
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Lena Pahlsson在花园里采摘胡萝卜时,找到了丢失已久的结婚戒指的那种失而复得心情。

⑸句意:十六年前,故用比较级earlier。
⑹句意:Pahlsson 退掉钻戒去做饭。表示目的,故用不定式to cook。
⑺句意:Pahlsson 和他的丈夫在厨房找遍了,检查了每一个角落,但是一无所获。此处是句子的谓语,讲述过去发生的事,故填一般过去时searched。
⑻句意:Pahlsson 和她的丈夫现在认为这个戒指很可能被扫到厨房的一堆垃圾里面,被撒在花园里了。get+过去分词,故填swept。

【题目】阅读理解
D
When a leafy plant is under attack ,it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It's a plant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.
(1)What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A.It makes noises.
B.It gets help from other plants.
C.It stands quietly
D.It sends out certain chemicals.
(2)What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?
A.The attackers get attacked.
B.The insects gather under the table.
C.The plants get ready to fight back.
D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.
(3)Scientists find from their studies that plants can .
A.predict natural disasters
B.protect themselves against insects
C.talk to one another intentionally
D.help their neighbors when necessary
(4)what can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The word is changing faster than ever.
B.People have stronger senses than before
C.The world is more complex than it seems
D.People in Darwin's time were imaginative.
