三．阅读理解（40分）
㈠根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

A
Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s chance in million.
People have made a survey of colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and found that only eight of them are black.
As we know, sunlight is formed (形成) by seven different colored lights. The wave length (波长) of each light is different, so the quantity (量) of heat in each light is also different. Flowers especially their petal (花瓣), are easy to be harmed (伤害) by high temperature.
Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely (很少) survive (挺过) sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect (保护) themselves from sunlight by reflecting (反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
( )26.People can_______ see black flowers.
A. often
B. never
C. hardly ever
D. always

( )29.How do red flowers, orange flowers or yellow flowers protect themselves from sunlight?

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about the rich. Though they have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools, they may often feel lonely.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your teachers will help you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy; when you succeed in something, your friends will say congratulations to you. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. Although you are poor, you can also say you are very happy. Money is not everything. You have something else that money can't buy. When you meet with difficulties, you can loudly say you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
31.______may often feel lonely even though they have beautiful houses with large gardens.
A. Teachers
B. Parents
