C

When people buy flowers or plants to decorate their homes and gardens, sometimes they come with an unexpected guest. Dr Silviu Petrovan, a frog expert at the University of Cambridge, was recently invited to a flower shop in Sheffield, England, to identify a frog that had been found in some roses. He discovered that the frog was from South America. Petrovan said it must have hopped into the roses while they were travelling from Colombia to the UK.

Inspired by this, Petrovan has worked with a team of researchers to find out how common it is for animals, diseases and pests from other parts of the world to arrive in Europe with flowers, and ornamental plants that people grow in their homes or gardens for their appearance or scent.

The researchers looked at records of pests found in ornamental plants entering the Netherlands between 2017 and 2018, and the UK between 2021 and 2023. They found that, in both cases, 80% of the pests found were insects. There was also evidence of Italian wall lizards (壁蜥), geckos (蜥蜴) and snakes from mainland Europe arriving in ornamental olive tree deliveries. Insects, fungi (真菌), reptiles (爬行動(dòng)物) and spiders were transported in plant deliveries as well.

This could be increasing the risk of invasive species. Based on their research, Petrovan's team suggested that there needed to be tighter rules around how ornamental plants and flowers are traded between countries. This could help to prevent harmful species making their way into new habitats. However, the team added that any new rules shouldn't make the plant trade more difficult because lots of people rely on it to make money.

34. Which of the following is mentioned as an unexpected guest in Paragraph 1?

A. A plant to decorate homes.

B. The owner of a shop.

C. An expert named Petrovan.

D. A frog from South America

【解析】:問(wèn)“以下哪一個(gè)在第一段中被提到了是意外的客人?”由第一段內(nèi)容可知"a frog that had been found in some roses."花園中的玫瑰中出現(xiàn)了一只來(lái)自南美的青蛙，故答案選D.

35. Where did the Italian wall lizards (壁蜥) come from according to Paragraph 3?

A. Colombia.

B. The Netherlands.

C. Mainland Europe.

D. The UK.

【解析】:問(wèn)“根據(jù)第三段，意大利壁虎來(lái)自哪里?”由題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段內(nèi)容“There was also evidence of Italian wall lizards (壁蜥), geckos (蜥蜴) and snakes from mainland Europe arriving in ornamental olive tree deliveries." 可知有證據(jù)表明，歐洲大陸的意大利壁蜥、壁虎和蛇類通過(guò)裝飾性橄欖樹(shù)的運(yùn)輸渠道入境新地區(qū)，故符合的答案選C.

36. What does the underlined word "This" in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Playing with pests.

B. Transporting plants.

C. Researching insects.

D. Damaging animal habitats.

【解析】:問(wèn)“最后一段下劃線的this指的是什么?”代詞一般指代上文中提到的事物，由此可定位到上一段的最后一句話 “Insects, fungi (真菌), reptiles (爬行類動(dòng)物) and spiders were transported in plant deliveries as well.” 可知昆蟲(chóng)、真菌、爬行動(dòng)物和蜘蛛也通過(guò)植物運(yùn)輸被攜帶入境，這種情況 (this) 會(huì)提高物種入侵的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，故答案選B.

37. Why did the research team suggest making tighter rules?

A. To help people make more money.

B. To make the plant trade more difficult.

C. To improve the environment for animals.

D. To prevent harmful species invasion.

【解析】:問(wèn)“為什么研究團(tuán)隊(duì)建議要制定更嚴(yán)格的規(guī)則?”由題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到最后一段"Petrovan's team suggested that there needed to be tighter rules around how ornamental plants and flowers are traded between countries. This could help to prevent harmful species making their way into new habitats." 可知更嚴(yán)格的規(guī)則能夠阻止有害物種入侵新的地區(qū)，故答案選D.
