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. So 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 (不开花的) plants.Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits protect the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or 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 (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float (飘) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady (阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants. ( ) 1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.A. plants are important for lifeB. plants can’t grow without airC. there are many plants in the worldD. we can’t live without water( ) 2. Plants can make food from _______.A. flower, water and airB. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soilD. air, sun and light ( ) 3. What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A.

This passage is most likely to be taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a TV guideC. a science magazineD. a lab (实验室) report(B)It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas was nearer, her desire (愿望) for a bicycle seemed to fade (消退). We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that “I really want a bike more than anything else.”But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner, we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. On Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, were sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment (失望) of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade (交换) the clay bike for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited to wait for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud (大声地). “Does this mean that I can trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears (眼泪) in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather (宁愿) keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth (竭尽全力) to buy her every bicycle in the world.( ) 6.
