Plants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing (光合作用) while animals have all the
fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between
ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution (协同进化) started with ants feeding on plants and
plants evolving ant-friendly features.
Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have
evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even
mаmmаlѕ. Тhеѕе іnсludе hollow thorns that аntѕ will live іnѕіdе, or ехtra nесtаr ( 琼浆、花蜜) оn
lеаvеѕ or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some
will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them
move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant
will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed—often in a nutrient-
rich area where it’ll grow better, and since it’s farther away from its parent, they won’t have to
compete for resources.
But scientists weren’t sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got
started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors,
then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg
question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants
evolving structures to take advantage of ants.
The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it’s
not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance.
Scientists say their study matters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex
interactions evolved.
4. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to .
A. reward the ants B. make a fool of ants
C. provide nutrition for the seeds D. get the seeds moved around
5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. How plants and ants interact. B. What ants do to protect plants.
C. How plants and ants survive attacks. D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.
6. Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?
A. Ants depended more upon plants. B. It caused a race for better evolution.
C. How it got started was uncertain. D. It was of little value for future studies.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce a science research method.
B. To inform readers of a latest research finding.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in science research.
D. To criticize people’s traditional views about plants.
C
I was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever
wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it
would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would he like to be able to
get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife
wouldn’t email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I
thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.
