单选题{{B}}E{{/B}} One sure sign of the fall season is the sight of scarecrows everywhere. Scarecrows are used for practical reasons by farmers, and as decorations by many people. You can find scarecrows on farms and in yards, and also on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other clothing. Scarecrows were first used over 2000 years ago by farmers who needed to keep birds out of their fields. Crows and blackbirds were always eating the vegetable crops grown by farmers. The farmers had to do something to stop the crows from coming into the fields. They made these human-like objects out of anything they could find. They used sticks, hay, and pine straw, and dressed the scarecrows in old clothing. The farmers tried their best to make these creations look like real people in a field or garden. They hoped that the crows would see the "person" standing in the field and be afraid of it. Scarecrows are still seen today, but most farmers use other things now to get rid of pesky animals. Scarecrows are more often a decoration, and a way to mark the beginning of fall.

单选题 A strong wind can be a dangerous thing—sometimes it is powerful enough to knock you down. But to some plants, the wind is a source (来源) of new life, carrying them or their spores (孢子) thousands of miles. A NASA satellite called QuikSCAT has discovered highways of wind over the Earth's oceans. Scientists believe these invisible roads may explain why many nonflowering plants grow where they do. The satellite is able to send microwaves (微波) from space to the surface of the ocean. The pattern of signals (信号) that come back shows which way the winds are blowing. Using this {{U}}data{{/U}}, the scientists studied a group of islands in the southern hemisphere (半球), near Antarctica. Winds tend to blow anticlockwise (逆时针) in this area, but there are lots of local differences. When the researchers compared these local patterns to botanical (植物学) data, they found that the wind had an important effect on where species (品种) of mosses (苔), lichens (地衣), and other nonflowering plants grow. For example, Bouvet Island and Heard Island share 30 percent of their moss species, 29 percent of liverworts (叶苔), and 32 percent of lichens—even though they are 4,430 kilometers apart. However Gough Island and Bouvet Island, separated by just 1,860 kilometers of sea, share only 16 percent of mosses and 17 percent of liverworts. They have no lichens in common. Ferns (蕨类植物) and flowering plants don't travel as well in the wind, so they don't show the same kinds of distribution (分布) patterns.
