Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing. A chemical called“chlorophyll(叶绿素)”in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees“know”it's time to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food­making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn. 12. Which of the following can you put in the box? sunlight＋＋CO2→glucose A. water B. sugar C. wind D. air 13. Why do the leaves turn yellow in autumn? A. Because they are short of glucose and energy. B. Because they are short of sunlight and water. C. Because they are short of sunlight and CO2. D. Because they are short of water and CO2. 14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. B. During winter, trees live on the food they store in summer. C. Trees begin to stop making food and to have a rest in summer. D. During winter, some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves. 15. What's the main idea about the passage? A. It tells us all kinds of plants on the earth. B. It tells us the plants can grow well with the sunlight. C. It tells us maple leaves change the color as other trees. D. It tells not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述五颜六色的树叶形成的原因。主要讲述两种原因：一种是叶绿素一种是葡萄糖。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar“植物利用阳光将水和二氧化碳转化为葡萄糖，一种糖”可知，阳光和水和二氧化碳转化为葡萄糖，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food­making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves“在冬天，没有足够的阳光和水。树木在这段时间休息，靠夏天储存的食物生存。他们开始关闭食品制造厂。当绿色的叶绿素从树叶中消失时，我们开始看到黄色和橙色的树叶”可知，因为缺少阳光和水，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter“因为夏天结束秋天到来，白天变得越来越短”，排除A；根据Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer“树木在这段时间休息，靠夏天储存的食物生存”可知，树靠夏天储存的食物为生，排除B；根据As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves“当绿色的叶绿素从树叶中消失时，我们开始看到黄色和橙色的树叶”可知黄色和橙色的树叶仍在树上，排除D；根据During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food­making factories“在冬天，没有足够的阳光和水。树木在这段时间休息，靠夏天储存的食物生存。他们开始关闭食品制造厂”可知，在冬天他们开始停止生产食物并且休息，而不是在夏天，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves“当绿色的叶绿素从树叶中消失时，我们开始看到黄色和橙色的树叶”以及The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn“我们在树叶中看到的明亮的红色和紫色主要是在秋天制造的。在一些树上，像枫树，阳光和秋天凉爽的夜晚把树叶中的葡萄糖变成红色。我们可以在秋天欣赏美丽的红叶”可知，不是所有的树叶的颜色都来自叶绿素，故选D。 下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项A、B、C、D、E和 F中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余选项。 Flu season is coming!

When she got to the bank, Freda forgot that she was still wearing the mask and went inside. Freda walked up to the window, and the teller (出纳员) got panicky because she saw a person wearing a mask.

Freda was on her way back home when she noticed there were three police cars. The police made her stop. The poor girl was frightened to death, and didn’t know why the police would be after her. The police pulled her out of the car and forced her to the ground. When a police officer pulled off the mask, they all found it was Freda, and realized that someone had made a mistake. Once the police explained why they were there, Freda told them that she always wore a mask in winter and that she must have forgotten she was wearing it when she entered the bank.

However, there is a much easier and cheaper way to cook using energy from the sun. ②Solar cookers have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar cooker in 1777. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use them to cook food and to heat drinking water. ③There are three kinds of solar cookers The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that collect sunshine into the box. A box cooker is good for slow cooking of a lot of food. ④The second kind of solar cooker is a panel cooker. It has several flat walls that collect the sunshine onto the food. People can build panel cookers quickly. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers cost just two dollars. ⑤The third kind of solar cooker is a parabolic(抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that collect sunlight into the bottom of the cooker. Food is cooked quickly in parabolic cookers. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be moved again and again to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly. ⑥You can make solar cookers from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232℃. A solar cooker never gets hotter than that. Solar cookers cook food at low temperatures over long time. This allows people to cook food and do other things at the same time. 8.

Solar cookers can get hotter than 232℃. 9. A parabolic cooker ________. A. has several flat walls B. is good for slow cooking C. has rounded walls D. has a special wall and a box 10.

A. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ B. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ C. ①/②③④⑤⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤⑥ We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing. A chemical called“chlorophyll(叶绿素)”in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees“know”it's time to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food­making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn. 12. Which of the following can you put in the box? sunlight＋＋CO2→glucose A. water B. sugar C. wind D. air 13. Why do the leaves turn yellow in autumn? A. Because they are short of glucose and energy. B. Because they are short of sunlight and water. C. Because they are short of sunlight and CO2. D. Because they are short of water and CO2. 14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. B. During winter, trees live on the food they store in summer. C Trees begin to stop making food and to have a rest in summer. D. During winter, some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves. 15. What's the main idea about the passage? A. It tells us all kinds of plants on the earth. B. It tells us the plants can grow well with the sunlight. C. It tells us maple leaves change the color as other trees. D. It tells not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll. 下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项A、B、C、D、E和 F中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余选项。 Flu season is coming! Are you prepared?
