Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard exp

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,树木比我们大多数人想象得要复杂的多,它们相互合作,互相支持,通过传递营养得以生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.”(尽管查尔斯达尔文认为树木是为了优胜劣汰而竞争,西玛德却证明了他的错误。事实上,恰恰相反:树木通过它们的合作和支持生存下来,“取决于谁需要营养”传递必要的营养。),可知西玛德教授认为树木相互合作和支持,传递营养维系生存,说明树木是相互依赖的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段中的“Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.”(西玛德谈到“母树”,通常是所有其他树木赖以生存的最大和最古老的植物。她解释了垂死的树木是如何将财富传递给下一代的,将重要的矿物质输送给幼树,使它们得以继续生长。)和最后一段中的“Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.”(垂死的树木在死亡前将营养传递给幼树,但我们从不给它们机会。),可知母树是其他树木赖以生存的最大和最古老的植物,因为母树能把营养传递给幼树,所以“母树”极其重要。故选D项。
【10题详解】
指代猜测题。由第五段中的“When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.”(当人类砍伐“母树”时,却不知道这些高度复杂的“树木社会”或它们赖以生存的网络,我们正在减少整个森林的生存机会。)和最后一段中的““We didn’t take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly.”(“我们没有注意到它,”西玛德悲伤地说。),可知it指代上文已提及的东西,此处it指highly complex “tree societies”或the networks的赖以生存的方式/运作方式。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?”(当你知道树木和动物一样,互相交流,并把它们的财富传给下一代时,你会感到惊讶吗?),第二段“UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.”(UBC教授西玛德解释了树木是如何比我们大多数人想象的复杂得多。)和后文关于“树木之间不是竞争关系,而是相互依赖,快死的树把营养传递给小树让其更好的生长”,说明作者想要表达的是树木比我们想象的要更令人惊叹、复杂,C项“树比你想象的更奇妙”符合文意。故选C项。
