第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacked other plants. Except for its flower, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of , for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
1、Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A．To analyze the content of some food. B．To introduce the topic of this passage.
C．To tell the usage of the dodder plants. D．To describe the shape of dodder plants.
2、What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?
A．invade B．grow
C．escape D．disappear
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Dodder doesn’t produce its own food. B．Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.
C．Dodder can affect farmer’s income. D．Dodder can only survive in the shade.
4、What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a new variety of farm crops.
B．To introduce plants that are harmful to humans.
C．To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant.
D．To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.

B
The 18-year-old Hope from Arlington, Virginia has a lot of reasons to be happy. Her high school graduation is just days away. She goes to Guatemala in the summer to work there with her church. Then, in the fall, she will head to Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania.
But that is not why she is smiling right now. Tonight, in a beautiful long dress, with her hair perfectly curled, she is excited to be going to prom. A prom is a formal dance for high school students that’s usually at the end of the year.
Prom was born in the United States more than 100 years ago and has spread to other parts of the world. In America, it has become an industry similar to the wedding business. A study done by the American financial company, Visa, found that, on average, an American family spends more than 900 dollars on prom.
Much of it is spent on what the young adults wear to the formal dance. Gowns (礼服) often cost hundreds of dollars. And then there are costs linked to hair and makeup, flowers for prom dates, dinner and transportation.
It adds up. But some students find ways to make the event less expensive. “I borrowed my dress,” says Maggie Kinnett. Like Hope, Maggie is a senior at Yorktown High School in Arlington. She got her makeup done without cost by a professional who is a family friend.
Hope also cuts costs. She bought her dress online for far less than she would have paid in the stores. She also did her own hair. Besides, many girls choose to get ready for the prom with friends. They might get their hair done at a beauty shop together. They might hire a professional make-up artist for a few hours to share the costs.
Probably the least costly thing about prom is the ticket to the dance. Yorktown held its event at a hotel in Arlington. The tickets were $ 45.
1、What makes Hope cheerful at present?
A．The coming college life.
B．The ball of high school graduation.
C．Her attractive dress and curled hair.
D．Her coming high school graduation.
2、Why did Maggie ask a friend to do her makeup?
A．To save money.
B．To get the best effect.
C．To win a prize in the ball.
D．To compete with other students.
3、What did Hope do to save money for the ball?
A．She shared the cost of makeup with others.
B．She rented her dress online.
C．She did her hair by herself.
D．She got the ticket for free.
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．Renting gowns online for prom has become a trend.
B．Prom has become a heavy burden for most families.
C．The author is against prom due to the high cost.
D．Prom has grown as a rising economy as wedding business.
