- B
- C
- D
- E
- F
答案：D
原文定位：recent research on the common thorn apple, Datura stramonium;has found that two powerful chemicals are released from the seed during the early stages of germination;In fact, it is necessary for the chemicals to be released from the seed coat so that the seed can germinate
同义替换：「reproductive process」↔「released from the seed during germination」，「example of a plant」↔「thorn apple」
how some plants use a kind of glue to discourage attack
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
- F
答案：B
原文定位：In other plants of the same family the sacs contain a natural adhesive and the unsuspecting insect landing on such a leaf and rupturing a trichome sac is held onto the plant, unable to depart

答案：B
原文定位：In these structures a tiny sac is carried on the hair;The sac contains chemicals which may perform a range of functions. For example, an insect landing on a tomato leaf and rupturing the sac is exposed to a toxic chemical which will deter it from feeding on that plant in future;In the leaves of the nettle plant these trichomes resemble miniature hypodermic syringes;a shot of the chemical is discharged though the "needle" and into the skin of the animal. The irritation the chemical causes is a deterrent against future threat

答案：FALSE
原文定位：It has also been found that the activity these chemicals may be synergistic;that is;two or more such substances may combine to produce an effect that is greater than the effects of the substances acting in isolation;These are the very attributes which are being sought in the current development of synthetic hertpicides

- Australian plants have unique methods of self-protection.
- chemicals found in weeds can have practical benefits for agriculture.
答案：chemicals found in weeds can have practical benefits for agriculture.
原文定位：Harnessing allelopathy is highly attractive to the farming industry;Developing and harvesting natural herbicides might also offer advantages in addressing environmental concerns;Weeds produce powerful allelopathic chemicals that inhibit competitors; these characteristics are being sought in the development of synthetic herbicides
