It takes in moisture(水汽)from the air through its leaves. Although it is seen growing on another object or plant，the air plant simply usesthe object or the plant to support itself.To prevent the roots from being too wet，avoid(避免) planting it in soil. Keep the roots in a well-ventilated(通风良好的)environment. Air plants can grow well hanging from fishing lines. They can also be hung from seashells，teacups or even on wood.Water the air plant once in a while. Simply let the water fall from the roots. The roots will take in the water for the air plant. The air plant can live between 0℃and 51 ℃.It does not need to be in the light all the time. However，sunlight(morning and evening only)helps it to reproduce(繁殖)faster. When it flowers，it turns pink，red or orange. At most 8 young plants can grow from the air plant. When these grow to half the size of the parent plant，simply pull them away gently from the parent plant and plant them in another place.The lifespan of an air plant depends on the care it gets and the environment it is placed in. Generally，an air plant can live for many years.Because they are so beautiful and easy to take care of，air plants are excellent as birthday gifts or housewarming gifts.46．The air plant takes in moisture from ________．A．other plants B．the airC．the roots D．other objects47．An air plant must NOT be placed in ________．A．soil B．seashells C．teacups D．wood48．Morning sunlight can help the air plant ________．A．become drierB．produce young plants fasterC．turn into different colorsD．become half the size of the parent plant49．The underlined phrase“depends on” most probably means ________．A．支持B．继续C．取决于D．应付50．The air plant is easy to take care of because it ________．A．is a famous plantB．needs little water and sunlightC．grows on other plants and objectsD．makes the garden beautifulB (词数：约200；建议用时：7分钟)We talk every day. When we have good news，we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens，we will let others know soon. But do you know that a tree can talk and share news？It sounds strange，but it's true that some trees can also communicate with each other. Of course，no tree moves lips and says words just as people do.Willow trees(柳树) are the best-known of these trees. When insects(昆虫) begin eating a willow tree，the tree gives out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willow trees that insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical(化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way，the willow trees keep themselves away from the insects.Next time when you take a walk near the trees，maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”，please tell them that even trees can “talk” to each oth er，too.51．Willow trees communicate with each other by________．A．words B．winds C．smells D．sounds52．The underlined word “lips” in the first paragraph means________．A．树干B．嘴唇C．枝条D．手势53．________ make(s) the insects fly away.A．The leaves on the willow treesB．The “talk” between the willow treesC．The special smell that willow trees give outD．The chemical that willow trees make in their leaves54．According to the passage，which of the following is the right order?a．The willow tree gives out a smell.b．The willow trees make a chemical in their leaves.c．Insects fly away because of the chemical.d．Insects begin eating a willow tree.A．d－a－b－c B．d－b－a－cC．a－b－c－d D．d－c－b－a55．The passage tells us that some of the trees can________．A．speak just as people doB．tell stories to othersC．communicate with each otherD．kill insects in the woodsC (词数：约200；建议用时：7分钟)Nearly everyone knows that flowers of different plants open and close at different times of the day. Why do flowers open and close at a particular(特殊的)time？No one really understands it because it is not as simple as we might think. So one experiment was done by the scientists. They kept flowers in darkness for a long time. We might expect that the flowers，without any information about the time of the day，did not open as they usually do. In fact they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的)way of knowing the time.Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world. It is inside them: a kind of “inner clock”．This discovery may not seem to be very important. However，it was later found that not just plants but animals including man have this “inner clock” which controls(控制)working of their bodies and their activities. Human beings are also controlled by the mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not，it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep，our need for food，and our ability to concentrate(集中)．56．The experiment in the first paragraph was done for finding out ________.A．when different flowers open and closeB．if flowers have a mysterious way of knowing the timeC．how flowers were used to tell the time in the darknessD．why flowers open and close at a particular time57．Before the experiment，people had thought that the flowers ________.A．would never open in darknessB．would change their usual time to openC．would continue to open at their usual timeD．would open earlier than the usual time58．The flowers have the sense of time which is related to ________.A．sunlight B．weak light C．the “inner clock”D．the information from the outside world59．From the passage, we know that ________ do not have mysterious power inside.A．wild animals B．human beingsC．all creatures(生物) D．lifeless things60．We may know that if we make g ood use of the “inner clock”，________．A．we will have more energy to do our workB．clocks or watches are no longer useful to usC．we will be able to live as long as we wish toD．human beings will need less sleep，less food or less movement八、词语运用(每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容及所给提示，补全文中单词或用所给单词的正确形式填空。

But many children don't know what part of the potato is the best for food. Take a knife and cut from the middle of the potato a piece as thin as paper. Hold the piece between your eyes and light. You'll see that the potato has skin，an outside rim and an inside part. The outside rim which is right under the skin of the potato，is the most valuable part of all. But this is often thrown away with the skin. Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside. When eating a cooked potato，if you choose the inside and leave the outside，you are throwing the best part of it. If you can't eat the whole potato，eating the outside rim and leaving the inside will do. 46．How many parts does a potato have?A．It has only one part，the outside rim.B．It has two parts，skin and the outside rim.C．It has three parts，skin，an outside rim and an inside part.D．It has four parts，the middle，skin，an outside rim and an inside part. 47．What is the best part of a potato?A．The outside rim.

B．How to plant them.C．How to cut them. D．How to eat them.B(词数：约320；建议用时：9分钟)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants，too.Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing. Sometimes，it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe．For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience，and who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century，a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in the war (战争)．In the eighteenth century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.About one hundred years ago，“greenhorn” was a popular expression in the American West. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn't have the skills that he would need to live in the hard，rough country.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her plants continue to grow after your plants have died.The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.51．According to the passage，a greenhorn means________ now.A．a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developedB．a soldier who has not had any experience in the warC．a person who is new in a jobD．a man who doesn't have the skills to live in the country52．The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.A．未完成的B．成熟的C．青涩的D．老练的53．Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?A．If there weren't the Green Revolution，we would have no rice to eat.B．The expre ssion “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago.C．Because of the Green Revolution，we have more kinds of rice and other grains.D．Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution. 54．We can know from the passage that ________.A．all growing plants are greenB．green is the most important color in natureC．a person with a green thumb can make plants grow wellD．the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years 55．The main idea of the passage is ________.A．a greenhorn B．a green thumbC．the Green Revolution D．the word “green” and its story八、任务型阅读(每小题2分，共10分)(词数：约290；建议用时：9分钟) Cyril Dick's house is neither a modern house nor a house of the future. It is 40 years old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called “bubble houses”，and you can see why!Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house.Everything in the “bubble house” is round. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. This is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs，a round table，and a big round rug (地毯) in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves，another bubble is the garden room，and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles—a bedroom and a bathroom.The doors and windows are also round，of course. The windows are like eyes.There aren't any curtains (窗帘) in the house，because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect (建筑师), Antti Lovag.“A lot of modern houses are bad for us，especially tall buildings of flats，” saysLovag.“Because round homes are more natural，people feel happy in them.” Cyril agrees with this.“Some people think my house is funny，” he says，“but for me，this is the perfect home.”56题判断正误(“T”表示正确，“F”表示错误)；57题完成句子；58题简略回答问题；59题找出并写下第三段的主题句；60题将文中画线句子译成汉语56．You can f ind more “bubble houses” in the south of France.()57．Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves _________________________.58．What is the third bubble around the living room?____________________________________________________________ 59．_______________________________________________________________60．______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________九、词语运用(每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容及所给提示，补全文中单词或用所给单词的正确形式填空Every Tree Planting Day，we all go to plant trees in the park near our school.

Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people except your curiosity (好奇心) about them.When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less nervous and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying about yourself, “What can I say next that won’t sound stupid?”, you will focus on learning more about the other person.Making small talk with strangers can be tricky. We’ve all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person. It’s true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will sense that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.How can you keep small talk from becoming boring?One way is to watch the other person for what is really interesting to them. When you understand, start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions, and their experiences.After you have had a few minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. He or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.根据短文内容, 判断句子正(T) 误(F)。

Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.Fungi may appear almost everywhere. They commonly grow in wet places where they c“n get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, they must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt. Mushrooms（蘑菇）are the best-known fungi.There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees・ Matsutake（松茸）is another kind of wild mushroom. These fungi look like small golden cakes・ Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their holes to eat later.The mushrooms in food stores are carefully grown by people and they are safe to eat.
