Harry stepped backward. His legs hit his trunk and he tripped. His wand flew ut f his hand as he cast ut an arm t break his fall, and he landed, hard, in the gutter (阴沟)— There was a deafening BANG, and Harry threw up his hands t prtect his eyes against a sudden blinding light — With a yell, he rlled back nt the sidewalk, just in time. A secnd later, a gigantic pair f wheels and headlights screamed t a stp exactly where Harry had just been lying. They belnged, as Harry saw when he raised his head, t a triple-decker (三层), vilently purple bus. which had appeared ut f thin air. Gld lettering ver the bus spelled The Knight Bus.
Fr a secnd, Harry wndered if he had been kncked silly by his fall. Then a cnductr in a purple unifrm leapt ut f the bus and began t speak ludly t the night.

Plants may tell us when they’re in truble. Thirsty tmat and tbacc plants make clicking sunds, researchers have fund. The sunds are ultrasnic (超声波的), meaning they are t high-pitched fr human ears t hear. But when the sunds are transfrmed t lwer pitches, they sund like ppping bubbles (爆破的泡泡). Plants als make clicks when their stems (茎) are cut.
“It’s nt like the plants are screaming.” says Lilach Hadany, an evlutinary bilgist wrking at Tel Aviv University in Israel. “Plants may nt mean t make these nises. We’ve shwn nly that plants create infrmative sunds.”
Hadany and her clleagues first heard the clicks when they set micrphnes next t plants n tables in a lab. The micrphnes caught sme nises. But the researchers needed t make sure that the clicking was cming frm the plants. S, the scientists placed plants inside sundprf bxes in the basement, far frm the nise f the lab. There, micrphnes picked up ultrasnic pps frm thirsty tmat plants. Thugh it was utside humans’ hearing range, the clicking made by plants was abut as lud as a nrmal cnversatin.
Cut tmat plants and dry r cut tbacc plants clicked t. But plants that had enugh water r hadn’t been cut stayed mstly quiet. Wheat, crn and grapevines als made sunds when stressed ut. ______
The researchers dn’t yet knw why plants click. Bubbles frming and then ppping inside plant tissues that transprt water might make the nises. But hwever they happen, pps frm crps culd help farmers, the researchers suggest. Micrphnes, fr example, culd mnitr fields r greenhuses t detect when plants need, t be irrigated (灌溉)
Hadany wnders whether ther plants and insects already tune int plant pps. Other studies have suggested that plants respnd t sunds. And animals frm pests (害虫), mths t mice can hear in the range f the ultrasnic clicks. Sunds made by plants culd be heard frm arund five meters away. Hadany’s team is nw studying what the living things near the plants will d after hearing the sunds.
28. What can be learned frm the first paragraph?
A. Plants can make pp ping bubbles.
B. Plants sund when cmmunicating.
C. Humans can’t hear the sunds made by plants.
D. Stems f plants make clicking sunds fr help.
29. What may Lilach Hadany agree with?
A. Plants may even scream when stressed ut.
B. Plants can cmmunicate their feelings t humans.
C. Plants may send certain messages by making sunds.
D. The sunds received frm the lab were surely frm plants.
30. In what way can micrphnes be used t benefit plants?
A. Temperature mnitring. B. Timely irrigatin.
C. Grass preventin. D. Pest cntrl.
31. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T call n us t prtect plants.
B. T stress the imprtance f plants’ making sunds.
C. T infrm us f the secret f plants’ making sunds.
D. T warn us against the dangers the sunds f plants might cause.

American users f the ppular vide sharing service TikTk are preparing fr a pssible ban (禁令) f the app by the US gvernment. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-wned TikTk culd be misusing users’ infrmatin. A TikTk spkespersn said in a statement, “TikTk US user data is stred in the US, with strict cntrls n emplyee access. TikTk’s biggest investrs cme frm the US. We are cmmitted t prtecting ur users’ privacy and safety as we cntinue wrking t bring jy t families and meaningful careers t thse wh create n ur platfrm.”

News f the pssible ban spread quickly amng TikTk users.
One f thse users is Ty Gibsn f Greensbr, Nrth Carlina. Gibsn said at first, he dismissed the reprts suggesting the app might be banned.

Other TikTk fans are staying with the service fr nw. TikTkBan has received mre than 212 millin views n the app, while SaveTikTk gt ver 315 millin. Fans are cncerned that if the app is actually shut dwn, it will challenge the values that Americans hld dear, such as freedm f speech.
Cmpeting vide sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched dwnlads f their apps rise. Sme rivals (对手) are nw directly targeting TikTk users. Triller, which became knwn fr its heavy use f hip-hp music, is seeking t sign up tp TikTk stars t jin, said Ryan Kavanaugh, funder f Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTk user frm Greenville, Suth Carlina with 1.2 millin fllwers. He has been urging ther TikTk users t mve t the Byte app in his recent vides. Tate says ne big reasn t mve is that Byte gives 100 percent f ad earnings t vide creatrs.
32. What can we knw abut TikTk in Paragraph 1?
A. Its emplyees have easy access t user data.
B. It can prtect their users frm lsing their jbs.
C. It is a platfrm where users prtect their privacy.
D. It may be banned fr pssibly misusing users’ infrmatin.
33. Hw did Ty Gibsn react t the ban?
A. He was shcked and angry at first. B. He didn’t take the ban seriusly at first.
C. He chse t stick t TikTk despite the ban. D. He attracted mre fans with his gdbye vide.
