This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three of four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚种). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.21. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ____.A. plants are important for life.B. plants cannot grow without air.C. there are many plants in the world.D. we cannot live without water.22. Plants can make food from ____.A. flower, water and air.B. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soilD. air, sun and light23. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. Of all living things animals are most important.B. Spores are seeds.C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.D. Without plants, man will die out.24. This passage may be taken from ____.A. a medicine bookB. a novelC. a science magazineD. an experiment reportBThe United States is full of cars. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors' as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.25. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Workers drive cars to offices and factoriesB. Salesmen drive to carry their products.C. Farmers drive into cities to get supplies.D. Cars are widely used.26. Mothers form car pools in order that .A. they can drive to schoolB. they can take turns driving their children to schoolC. they reach school quicklyD. they can drive their children to school in time27. The traffic in and around cities is a great problem because .A. too many cars are being drivenB. there are too many car poolsC. people put fewer cars on the roadsD. there is less gasCA student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say "Have you a pen?”, Americans say “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the r’s in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound the r’s in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour”are British, “color” and “honor” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary arenot important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.28. According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that __________.A.

A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family movedto South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change myname.“You shouldn't change who you are. Let people g et to knowyou first and your name later. When you meet someone new, askthem a good question, something you're really interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they don't judge (评价) you.”Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to eachother. I remembered my dad's advice, so I decided to try.I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical.“What's it like beinga twin？” I asked.They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that！”“Most of the time it's good，”the other said. “When you're a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I'm Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What's your name？”I took a deep breath and said，“I'm Chelsea Chowderhead.”“Chowder? Like the soup？”asked Nathaniel.“Yes，”I replied, lookin g down.“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us？” Nathaniel asked. I nodded.And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.32．Why did the writer want to change his name?A．People made fun of it.B．He wanted to make more friends.C．It was hard to remember.D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.33．The writer's father advised him to ________.A．move to a new class B．say hello to othersC．share his interests D．ask good questions34．The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.A．same B．beautifulC．big D．full35．When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt________.A．surprised B．angryC．nervous D．proud第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
