35、 using plants as telephones. Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant. This way, aboveground insects are warned that the plant is already occupied. Aboveground, leaf-eating insects prefer plants that have not yet been occupied by subterranean root-eating in
36、sects. Subterranean insects send out chemical signals through the leaves of the plant, which warn the aboveground insects about their presence. This messaging makes it possible for spatially-separated insects to avoid each other, so that they do not compete for, the same plant. In recent years it ha
37、s been discovered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly if they feed on plants that also have subterranean insects and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that a mechanism (机制) has developed through natural selection, which helps the subterranean and aboveground insects to communicate w
38、ith each other. This avoids unnecessary competition. Through the green telephone lines, subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party, namely the natural enemy of caterpillars (毛虫). Parasitic wasps (寄生蜂) lay their eggs inside aboveground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signal
39、s sent by the leaves, as these help them find more insects for their eggs. The communication between subterranean and above- ground insects has only been studied in a few systems. It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is, say the researchers.36. How do subterranean and aboveground ins
40、ects communicate with each other? A. By sending signals through the leaves. B. By giving off particular smells. C. By making soft and beautiful sounds. D. By the signals sent by parasitic wasps.37. After finding a plant occupied by root-eating insects, aboveground insects will usually _. A. send out
41、 warning signals B. choose to leave the plant C. compete for the same plant D. fight with the root-eating insects 38. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants _. A. are often visited by parasitic wasps B. are not occupied by mot-eating insects C. have more green leaves D. h
42、ave more subterranean insects39. What does the underlined part a third party in Paragraph 4 include? A. Aboveground insects. B. Root-eating insects. C. Caterpillars. D. Parasitic wasps.40. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Communication between different insects B. How do animals avoi
43、d competition? C. Insects use plants as telephones D. When plants have subterranean residentsDYoure in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, youre holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one thats b
44、een organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol. The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says USDA Organic. Does that mean its bet
45、ter? Safer? More nutritious? Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket. Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist. The word organic refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products
46、 and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat dont use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease. Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:Conventional farmersOrganic farmersApply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth,Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.Apply insecticides to reduce pests and disease.Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease.
