B All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills an- other, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains will be broken up if one of the living things disappears. All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are“factories.”. They make food from sunlight, water, air and things in the soil. Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun's energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly. What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases. Each form of life is linked to the others. Breaking the links will put all lives in danger. ( )6. How does everything on the earth live? A. Each plant can live alone. B. Each animal can live alone. C. If living things want to live, they must kill each other. D. Every living thing on the earth can't live without others. ( )7. Which living things can use the sun's energy directly? A. Animals. B. Plants. C. Both animals and plants. D. All living things. ( )8. What do plants make food from? They make food from . A. sunlight, water, air and things in the soil B. water, sunlight and the soil C. water, and things in the soil and air D. water, sunlight and things in the soil ( )9. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage. A. Animals B. Plants C. Food Chains D. Living Things ( )10. Who often destroy the food chains? A. Humans B. Animals C. Plants and animals D. Humans and wild animals C Forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees. They are found all over the world. Especially in places where there is enough sunshine and much rainfall. Many kinds of material(材料) come from forests. To build a house, we need wood for doors and windows. Beautiful chairs and tables are also made of wood. Teak(柚木) wood is very useful for ship-building. It is used for all parts of a ship where wood and metal come in contact(接触), for it has a kind of oil that stops metal from rusting(铁锈). It can also stop the attack of white ants and other insects. For this reason, teak wood is an important railway building material. Forests are no less important than useful. They are the home of wild animals. Without them, those animals would run among the places where we live and work. There would be no peace for humans. Forests are helpful to weather, too. When it is very hot, they can be a good place for people to stay away from the sun. In winter, they can keep us from cold. Forests can also stop the sand from being washed away by heavy rain for the trees hold soil together. So it would be foolish to cut down trees freely. ( )11. From the first paragraph, we know it's NOT true that . A. wood is useful in building houses B. there must be big trees in a forest C. forests are everywhere in the world D. forests need sunshine and rainfall ( )12. Teak wood is very useful for ship-building because . A. most ships made of wood B. it can come in contact with metal C. it can stop white ants’ or other insects’ attack D. a kind of oil in it can stop metal from rust ( )13. The expression“no less important than useful” in third paragraph means . A. more important than useful B. not so important as useful C. as important as useful D. neither important nor useful ( )14. The passage mainly tells us that . A. forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees B. wood is good material to build ships, railways and some other things C. without forests, we have to live together with wild animals D. forests are useful to us in many ways ( )15. As a student, what should we do for the environment? A. We should cut down too many trees. B. We should plant more trees and grass. C. We should throw litter away. D. We should step on the grass in the park. D Water, like air and sunshine, is very important to living things. All animals and plants need water. 16 . Man also needs water. He needs it to drink, to cook and to clean himself. It even makes up the greatest part of his body. Water is almost everywhere. 17 It is in lakes, rivers and seas. Even in the driest places of the world, there is water in the air. However, most of the water on earth is seawater. 18 So it is not good for drinking or washing. We can only drink or use fresh water. It makes up only a very small part of all the water on earth. To make things even worse, our need for water is growing and at the same time, we are wasting the clean fresh water. 19 As a result, there is not much drinking water left. 20 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。 A.
