China is the country that eats the most watermelons in the world. It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them.” Do you know why 1
It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6.91 in New York, which is about ￥46 in China. 2 But things are different in China. According to the FAO (联合国粮农组织), China now is the world’s largest watermelon producer and customer.
3 And the weather is just right for planting watermelons. With the large output(产量), the price is naturally much lower.
Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia have a wide land, but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 4
Thirdly, according to some reports, watermelons from foreign countries may not taste good.
5 Why is that
Wu Mingzhu is an 80-year-old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more delicious and much cheaper watermelons.
A．Firstly, China’s land area is large.
B．Watermelons are my favorite fruit.
C．So, watermelons are not as popular as other fruits.
D．That’s because they’re too expensive in most countries.
E．However, in China, we seldom eat watermelons that taste bad.
F．Watermelons are also famous for being expensive in Japan and South Korea.
（2023·湖北襄阳·统考中考真题）When September comes, the new term begins. Parents are all excited because their kids are going back to school. There’s nothing better than this.

What a coincidence! In ancient times, the new term started around White Dew(白露) in September, too. People used to have “four big ceremonies in life” which included the ceremony of “starting school, becoming an adult , getting married and burial”. The ceremony of starting school was a big thing.

The school prepared them for the government tests, and whoever scored high in the tests could get a good job. There weren’t any math or science lessons. The students learned how to read, write, and paint pictures.
Education has played an important role in the development of China’s society. Nowadays, China has provided nine year free education for each child, and all the kids have a fair chance to enter school.

Imagine this: you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato when, suddenly, it starts to scream (尖叫)! This thing will never really happen. 16
Researchers did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes.
17 : one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the third group was untouched. It turned out that the first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times per hour at a frequency (频率) of 40 to 80 kilohertz, while the untouched group only made the sound once per hour. When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet.
18 , but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles (气泡) in the plants. This means the noise produced by the plants is not intentional (故意的) or a form of active communication.
There is no evidence (证据) that plants can intentionally communicate. 19 . For example, the sound can tell a moth (蛾子) that the plant is under stress and not suitable to lay eggs on. An animal that wants to eat a plant could also use the sounds to make decisions, according to Science Focus.
After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat (小麦) and corn, and found that they also made more sounds when stressed. 20 , as they can better take care of the crops (庄稼) by “hearing” how plants feel.

B．The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made
C．Researchers said the study can benefit farmers in the future
D．But animals and insects may be “listening in” to benefit from the sound
