Kudzu is a fast-growing vine(蔓生植物) that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn’t know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path(路径).

In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.

In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil(土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.

The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they can not get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons(毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.

Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.

1. We can learn from the passage that 　　　　 .

A. kudzu mostly grows in the northern America

B. kudzu was brought to Japan from America

C. kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weather

D. American government has never supported to plant kudzu

2.The underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “　　　　 ”.

A.　 not easily broken　　 B. widely used

C. hard to grow　　　　　 D. important to one’s health

3.The last paragraph is mostly about 　　　　 .

A.　 how quickly the vine grows

B. how people use the vine

C. why people want to kill the vine

D. why people eat the vine

4. The writer uses the title “The Vine That Ate the South” most probably to 　　　　 .

A. let readers know kudzu is a vine

B. interest readers in a way

C. tell readers the vine is a kind of food

D. get readers to realize the passage is serious

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Australia is almost as large as China（China is about 9,600,000 km2 while Australia is 7,682,300 km2）,but Australia has a much smaller population（just over 19. 5 million）. Most people live in cities along the coast of Australia, and huge areas of the rest of Australia are uninhabited（无人居住的）. In some areas, families live a long way away from one another and from towns and cities. Australians call this part of the country "the Out back（内陆）"or "the Bush". Most people who live in the outback work on huge sheep or cattle stations（农场）.Some of these properties are as large as 3,000~5,000 km2 and their nearest neighbours may be 100 km or more away.

Many children in the outback are too far from town to travel to school. Instead, they attend one of the sixteen Schools of the Air. The schools are located in towns and teachers use high frequency radio to talk to their classes. They also post work to the students who post it back for their teacher to mark. Students also use the Internet, fax and phone to communicate with their teacher and with other students. Sometimes students are sent a video or audiotape to help them with their lessons.

Tim Benton's brother George is the manager of a large cattle station in the Northern Territory. When they were in primary school, George's children, Rebecca and Oliver, attended the Alice Spring School of the Air. Their mother and father took it in turns to help them with their lessons. After they finished primary school, Rebecca and Oliver went to a high school in Alice Springs. They lived with their Aunt Mary during the school term and returned home during the school holidays. At first, high school was difficult because they weren't used to being in a class with other students. In some subjects, they did not know as much as the children from the town. However, they soon caught up because they had very good study skills, thanks to the School of the Air.

Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year, usually in spring. It is a record of the school year—a “book of memories” for the students.

Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Then come the second year students. The last photos are the first-year students. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.

The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of many activities. These are activities that students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design and take photos all year for the yearbook.

In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose　 the “class clown” (a funny student), the “most likely to succeed” (a student who got the best grades), and the “best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards.

Students usually sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot　 of fun,”or “I’ll never forget you.” They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.
