聆听植物的心声

       ①古老的印第安人有这样一个传统:他们在砍树或锯树枝之前,会做上一段祷告,以此来请求树木原谅。现在一些科学家认为,美洲土著居民的这种传统习俗,可能会成为科学家们研究植物也有语言的一种依据。

       ②德国波恩大学应用物理研究所在对植物进行最新声学研究后发现:人采花时,花朵会“哭泣”;人摘黄瓜时,黄瓜会“尖叫”;甚至连正常生长的水果也会发出咯咯的声音。看来现代科学的研究成果,似乎还真为民间的传统提供了佐证。不要以为植物会“说话”是一个古怪可笑的问题,法国物理学家施特恩海默说:“20年前也没有人相信鲸鱼会唱歌,而现在鲸鱼的歌唱已经被破译了。”

       ③为了探索植物语言是否真实存在,科学家们从不同的角度进行了广泛的研究,后来他们发现:当植物的叶子被昆虫咀嚼时,植物身上所发生的反应与动物抑制疼痛和创伤的反应几乎一样。例如在虫咬叶子时,叶子便释放出一种激素,类似于动物受到伤害时释放的内啡舦。它们对待伤痛的化学反应如此相似,在植物组织表面喷洒阿司匹林或布洛芬后,就会像在动物身上喷洒此类物质一样,都能消除伤痛反应。对此,纽约州立大学植物生理学家伊恩·鲍德温说:“这就是植物喊‘哎哟’的方式。”

       ④德国德雷斯顿的生物物理学家魏泽教授认为,树木是通过声音来互相沟通和了解的,但由于这种声音频率很高,人耳反而听不到。而波恩大学的科学家弗兰克·朱利曼则不仅证实植物语言的存在,而且还研制出了能够探听植物语言的激光驱动麦克风。当植物叶子或根茎被切开时,植物就会发出痛苦的声音信号--在整个切面释放出乙烯气体。弗兰克·朱利曼一直在用钟形玻璃容器收集这种气体。这种气体的分子开始轰击标准激光束,然后产生振动,形成麦克风能够探听到的声波。朱利曼说:“植物受到的压力越大,麦克风收到的声音信号就越强。” 

       ⑤还有的科学家认为,植物是通过一种能量进行相互交流的。这种能量是微弱的光,它可以被测量出来,人们甚至可以通过“剩余能量放大器”使这种光转变成可以看得见的光。不管是通过高频声音还是通过光,随着科学技术的不断发展和科学研究的不断深入,科学家们最终一定会破译植物的语言之迷。

1、文章开头叙述印第安人的传统有什么作用?

     答:                                                                                             

2、文章第②段中引用施特恩海默的话是为了说明什么观点?

     答:                                                                                               

3、细读第③段,根据文中有关语句完成下表。

4、从目前研究进程看,科学家认为植物之间是通过哪两种方式来沟通和交流的?

     答:①                                                                                                                              

            ②                                                                                                                               

5、根据文章的内容以及平时的积累,你认为一项科学研究的成功,应该具备哪些条件?请写出其中三种。

     答:①                                                                                                              

            ②                                                                                                                

            ③
