Luckily, a new study has found an easy way to deal with the problem. Researchers from the University of Hyogo (兵库大学) in Japan have found that small green plants on the desk can go a long way towards reducing people’s stress. More than 60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them were asked to work as usual without any plants in sight while the other half were given a plant to put on their desks. Researchers then used a standard test to measure (测量) their stress levels. More than 90 per cent of the office workers showed lower stress levels after taking a three-minute rest to look at their plants. The study has found that it does not matter whether people were directly looking at their plants or only having the plants near their computers. As long as people had a green plant in sight, their stress levels changed greatly. Moreover, this finding worked on everyone no matter how old they were and what their jobs were. People used to go outdoors into nature to relax themselves, but now they have less time to do so, one of the researchers said. “Lucky for them, our study has proved that a small green plant works in the same way as a large forest.” 25.

People look at the plants directly. B. People have a green plant in sight. C. People should be office workers. D. people have the plants out of sight. 27. What is the purpose of the study? A. To give a plant to office workers on the desk. B. To work with a plant in sight. C. To find ways to deal with the problem of stress. D. To measure people’s stress levels. C Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax your body. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachs.

Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some people suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

As a matter of fact, that’s not true. The green colour is from a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素). Without chlorophyll, a green plant would not be able to survive. Chlorophyll helps plants produce food through photosynthesis (光合作用). During photosynthesis, chlorophyll takes in sunlight. This gives the plant energy. The leaves use the energy to mix CO₂ with water. This helps food production. In autumn days become shorter and shorter. There is less sunlight for plants. When winter comes, there is less water in the air. With less water and sunlight, photosynthesis slows down. Then leaves stop producing chlorophyll, so plants stop producing food. When the green chlorophyll disappears, other colours such as yellow and orange appear on the leaves. In fact, these colours are always there and they are nearly covered up by chlorophyll before. As soon as leaves stop producing chlorophyll, they change colour, die, and fall from the tree. In spring, days become longer. The weather becomes warmer and there is much more water in the air. So new green leaves can grow healthily and quickly. Above all, photosynthesis is the food-making and energy process (过程) for plants to survive. Without photosynthesis, plants would not be able to live and grow. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 61. What makes the leaves look green? _____________________________________ 62. What does chlorophyll need when the leaves produce food? _____________________________________ 63. Why does photosynthesis slow down? _____________________________________ 64.

Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck. 3.

Luckily, a new study has found an easy way to deal with the problem. Researchers from the University of Hyogo (兵库大学) in Japan have found that small green plants on the desk can go a long way towards reducing people’s stress. More than 60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them were asked to work as usual without any plants in sight while the other half were given a plant to put on their desks. Researchers then used a standard test to measure (测量) their stress levels. More than 90 per cent of the office workers showed lower stress levels after taking a three-minute rest to look at their plants. The study has found that it does not matter whether people were directly looking at their plants or only having the plants near their computers. As long as people had a green plant in sight, their stress levels changed greatly. Moreover, this finding worked on everyone no matter how old they were and what their jobs were. People used to go outdoors into nature to relax themselves, but now they have less time to do so, one of the researchers said. “Lucky for them, our study has proved that a small green plant works in the same way as a large forest.” 25.

People look at the plants directly. B. People have a green plant in sight. C. People should be office workers. D. people have the plants out of sight. 27. What is the purpose of the study? A. To give a plant to office workers on the desk. B. To work with a plant in sight. C. To find ways to deal with the problem of stress. D. To measure people’s stress levels. 【答案】25. C 26. B 27.

As a matter of fact, that’s not true. The green colour is from a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素). Without chlorophyll, a green plant would not be able to survive. Chlorophyll helps plants produce food through photosynthesis (光合作用). During photosynthesis, chlorophyll takes in sunlight. This gives the plant energy. The leaves use the energy to mix CO₂ with water. This helps food production. In autumn, days become shorter and shorter. There is less sunlight for plants. When winter comes, there is less water in the air. With less water and sunlight, photosynthesis slows down. Then leaves stop producing chlorophyll, so plants stop producing food. When the green chlorophyll disappears, other colours such as yellow and orange appear on the leaves. In fact, these colours are always there and they are nearly covered up by chlorophyll before. As soon as leaves stop producing chlorophyll, they change colour, die, and fall from the tree. In spring, days become longer. The weather becomes warmer and there is much more water in the air. So new green leaves can grow healthily and quickly. Above all, photosynthesis is the food-making and energy process (过程) for plants to survive. Without photosynthesis, plants would not be able to live and grow. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 61. What makes the leaves look green? _____________________________________ 62. What does chlorophyll need when the leaves produce food? _____________________________________ 63. Why does photosynthesis slow down? _____________________________________ 64. When do the leaves die and fall from the tree? _____________________________________ 65. What do you think of photosynthesis? _____________________________________ 【答案】61. A chemical called chlorophyll. 62. Sunlight. 63. Because of less water and sunlight. 64. When they stop producing chlorophyll. 65. It’s necessary for plants to live. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了叶绿素和光合作用。 【61题详解】 根据第一段中“The green colour is from a chemical called chlorophyll.”可知，一种叫做叶绿素的化学物质使叶子看起来是绿色的。故填A chemical called chlorophyll. 【62题详解】 根据第二段中“Chlorophyll helps plants produce food through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll takes in sunlight.”可知，当叶子产生食物时，叶绿素需要阳光。故填Sunlight. 【63题详解】 根据第三段中“With less water and sunlight, photosynthesis slows down.”可知，随着水和阳光的减少，光合作用会减慢。故填Because of less water and sunlight. 【64题详解】 根据“As soon as leaves stop producing chlorophyll, they change colour, die, and fall from the tree.”可知，当叶子停止产生叶绿素时，叶子就会死亡并从树上掉下来。故填When they stop producing chlorophyll. 【65题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。根据“What do you think of photosynthesis?”可知，此处应回答自己对光合作用的看法，光合作用是植物生存所必需的。故填It’s necessary for plants to live. （二）书面表达。（满分20分） 66. 随着生活水平的提高，健康越来越受到重视，健康包括身体(physical)健康和心理(mental)健康。学校英语俱乐部组织主题为“How to live a healthy and happy life”的演讲比赛。根据下面的提示，写一篇短文参赛。 注意事项： 1. 文字不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息。 2. 词数100左右。 3. 文章必须包含所有要点，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 How to live a healthy and happy life Hi, my dear classmates!
