17、he cities, countryside, and mountains. People are wondering what these colors are for. For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees in the autumn. Up to now there have been different explanations for why natural selection makes autumn colors so widespread.Dr.Hamil

18、ton from Oxford University proposed that bright autumn leaves contained a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In the autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae(幼虫)come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees

19、. Dr. Hamilton suggested that trees could ward off these insects with poisons. They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs. Dr.Hamilton and his students turned the theory into a mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed

20、 drive the evolution(进化)of bright leaves. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time leaves change, all the insects that feed on leaves are gone,” Dr. Hoch said. H

21、e believed that autumn colors served mainly as protection.According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost(冰冻)injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscreen to avoid the destruction of the leaves. Besides, autumn colors might prot

Scientists and farmers have been working on a solution to this problem for decades, and theyve apparently come up with a tearless oni

31、on.Called the “Sunion”, this new vegetable is the result of a natural cross-breeding program thats been going on farms in Nevada and Washington since the 1980s. Its supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other

32、 onion varieties is that it doesnt cause teary eyes when its chopped.When you cut into a normal onion, it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase, and when that hits your eyes, your body produces tears. Now, the interesting thing about regular onions is that the amounts of lachrymato

33、ry-factor synthase increase the longer the vegetables are stored, so the older they are, the more you will cry. In Sunions, on the other hand, the levels of that annoying compound drop as time goes by, until it no longer has any effect on your eyes when you cut it.7Thats what Sunion growers are clai

34、ming anyway, but reports from those lucky enough to have tried them seem to confirm these claims. The Huffington Post had three of its reporters chop some Sunions, and apparently, none of them shed a single tear. According to the Washington Post, they dont have the pungency of regular onions and are

35、 so sweet that you can eat them “like popcorn”.So the good news is that tearless onions are now a real thing. The bad news is that they are currently only grown in Washington and Nevada, and even though they are sold nationwide, they are still in relatively short supply. The first Sunion batches hit

36、 the shelves of grocery stores in December, but well probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years, as more people learn about them.12.What is special about the Sunion?A.Its easily chopped.B.Its sweet and tastes strong.C.Its tearless and mild.D.Its grown nat

37、ionwide in the USA.13.How does the author introduce the Sunion in Paragraph 3?A.By comparison.B.By telling a story.C.By giving examples.D.By asking questions.14.What does the underlined word “pungency” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Round shape. B.Strong smell.C.Special character. D.Medical function.15.What

38、can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.The Sunion has been largely on the market.B.The Sunion is still on trial at present.C.The Sunion will soon be grown worldwide.D.The author is confident about the future of the Sunion.答案8语篇解读 有过切洋葱经历的人一定会印象深刻:两眼泪水。美国两个州研究出了一种新型的洋葱,不会让人流泪而且还可以像吃玉米花那样吃它。12.C 细节

39、理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句中的 theyve apparently come up with a tearless onion 及第二段中 Its supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesnt cause teary eyes when its chopped.可知这种洋葱不会让人流眼泪且气味不浓。故

40、选 C 项。13.A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知,作者用普通洋葱与新型洋葱进行比较,故作者是运用了比较法。故选 A 项。14.B 词义猜测题。根据其后半句 are so sweet that you can eat them “like popcorn”可以猜测出 pungency 是“刺激性气味”之意。故选 B 项。15.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中 The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December,but well probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years,as more people learn about them.可知作者对 Sunion 的未来很有信心。故选 D。
