After going through a tough breakup(分手), the British singer turned her pain into glory and recorded one of the most moving albums of the year. The album, 21, which was released in January, has already hit the charts
48、 in 14 countries, according to the Billboard magazine. It also noted that Adele made history as the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time (Adeles first album, 19, was released in 2008. Each album is named for her age when s
49、he wrote it). Now, after touring around the world for almost a year, the DVD of her live concert, released on November 29, is Adeles latest work. Having topped the pre-order list of Amazon. com for over a month already, this one seems set to stay on top for a while. Born in north London, Adele sang

In 2009 she got the best n
51、ew artist Grammy Award, and went on a world tour in support of the album 19 with a sold-out show in Los Angeles. According to Adele herself, much of the inspiration of her music comes from one single breakup. Thats probably what has made the singers success-that emotional certitude(确信), according to
52、 Dickins. “The key to great singers is believing every single word they sing, ” he said. “And I think you believe every word that comes out of Adeles mouth.

54、orld tour. EWhen you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope can escape a lions attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt. Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies. Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defence
55、system. Chemicals are wildly used for survival. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous(有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back. One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the trees leaves, the amount
56、of poison increases in the other leaves. “Its like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy, ” he said. The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will ge
57、t the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees leaves, it will die. Every species of plant or tree is good at the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.
58、 In this way, plants have developed not only individual defence system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 67. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Plants Fight back with PoisonsB. Plants Can
