2023名校版高考英语阅读理解精 读含答案Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the “wood wide web".The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌)that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light.Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.1 .

The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldBADCWe ourselves, as products of an educational system, are sufficiently perfect evidence against it. If we think of what we happily might have been, and then of what we are, we cannot but admit the total failure or the helpless insufficiency of our education.Looking back on those years upon years which we spent in school, we know that something was wrong. If we will remember, we did not, at the time, exactly approve of the school system. Many of us, in fact, went in for sabotages. Our favorite brand of sabotage was the ''withdrawal of efficiency77 in our case a kind of unconscious passive resistance. Good-natured onlookers, such as our parents or the board of education, might have thought that we were leaning something all the while; but that7 s just where we fooled them! There were, of course, a few of us who really learned and remembered everything - who could state off-hand, right nowz if anybody asked us, in what yearNorman the Conqueror landed in England. Butthetrouble is that so few people ask us!There was one bit of honesty in our schooling at its very end. They called that ending a Commencement. And so indeed we found it Confused, unprepared, out of touch with the realities, we commenced then and there to learn what life is like. We found it discouraging in a thousand ways; but the thing which struck us at the time most forcibly was that it was in every respect quite unlike school. One could not cram for a job as if it were an examination; one could not get in the good graces of a machine as if it were a teacher; the docility which won high “marks" in school was called lack of originality in the business world, dullness in social life, stupidity in the realm of love. We had been quite carefully prepared to go on studying and attending classes and taking examinations; but the real world was not like that. Soz what difference does schooling make, to us or to the world? And what to us now are those victories and humiliations, the failure or success of school?12. What is the purpose of this article?A.
