You may find that only some of them grow little yellow fruits from August to October. These are girl trees. The fruits are rich in vitamins and good for health. But don’t eat too much, or you may feel sick. Just eat about ten fruits a day. Too many fruits are not good for us. Plants can have different genders (性别), just like animals. Here’s how you can tell if a ginko tree is a boy or a girl. Hi! I am a boy tree. I am a girl tree. My arms go straight up. I have the shape of a tall tower (塔). My arms go out wide.

But do you know how to serve a cup of tea to a visiting guest? Well, in different places, the ways of serving tea are different. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, a clay cup is usually used to brew (冲泡) Longjing, Biluochun, Maojian or just green tea. Chrysanthemum (菊花) tea is sometimes used in the hot summer season to reduce the hot from outside. Serving a cup of tea is a very popular custom in the North China cities. In the colder northeastern provinces, the hosts would provide warm black tea with sugar for their guests. In some coastal provinces such as Guangdong and Fujian provinces, a pot of oolong tea or Pu’er tea is the usual treat. Serving tea to guests is a common practice in China. However, different tea is used in different places. In Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), a guest is usually treated with milky tea.

Passage 5 Watch your habits (习惯), for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny (命运). A strong wind blows by. Two seeds (种子) fall to the ground from a flower. After sometime, the first seed says that she wants to get off the ground to see more. She is always hopeful about everything. She travels with the win to another place, grows up toward the sun and becomes a beautiful flower. As for the second seed, unlike the first seed, she is worried about what may happen. Because her head is full of worries, she doesn’t go anywhere. She plays it safe and waits. One day, a hen (母鸡) comes where the two seeds fall. Looking at the beautiful flower, the hen smiles. Then she turns the other way and sees the second seed. Then the hen picks up the seed and eats it. Some of us may be like the second seed. There’s nothing wrong with playing it safe. But if you want to control the life yourself, playing it safe isn’t always the way to go. You need to try and get out there. 1．What can we know about the first seed? A．She likes the flower.

Passage 6 ①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water. ④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these. ⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves. 1．Trees can “talk” in different ways. How many ways does the passage show? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 2．What does the word “attack” mean in paragraph 2? A．Hurt. B．Burn (燃烧). C．Protect. D．Catch. 3．Why may trees make noise according to paragraph 3? A．They want to use chemicals.

A． B． C． D． Passage 7 Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change color? Leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The Sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The Sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants. D．It is a way for animals to eat plants. 2．Why are leaves green in summer? A．Because trees are making food for leaves. B．Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees. C．Because there is no other color inside leaves in summer. D．Because they are busy making food for trees. 3．What stops leaves from making the green chemical in autumn? A．Less air in autumn. B．Less sunlight in autumn. C．Less water in autumn. D．Less time in autumn. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The importance of the sunlight. B．The trees in different seasons. C．The colors of the tree leaves. D．The changes of the four seasons. Passage 8 ①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they give out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked (攻击)!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water. ④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web (树联网)”. The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these. ⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways.

C．Some trees may take in water from others. D．Scientists may build up a wall in the forest. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 9 Do you know anything about the balance (平衡) of nature? Here is an example. Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) took many of their chickens, so the farmers killed many hawks. They don’t need to worry about their chickens. But then they had new worries. Mice ate the farmers’ food. How did this happen? Hawks ate not only chickens but also mice. They ate more mice than chickens. But the farmers did not know this. When they killed many hawks, they changed the balance of nature. Changing the balance is bad for nature. Sometimes when people move into a new place, they often cut down many plants. Some of these plants are food for animals. If the animals cannot find food to eat, they will die. Hcre is another example. In a place of the US, the giraffes (长颈鹿) ate a kind of rose the lions there ate the giraffes. But people killed many lions to protect the giraffes. Soon many giraffes ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees. These trees were important to people. So people thought many ways to protect trees. Now the giraffes had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature. Please always keep this in mind: It’s important for us to keep the balance of nature. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving a fact.

One day, the farmer’s friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbours would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. But without sunlight or good soil (土壤), the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily and then told what he had thought. “Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.

The fruits are rich in vitamins and good for health. But don’t eat too much, or you may feel sick. Just eat about ten fruits a day. Too many fruits are not good for us. Plants can have different genders (性别), just like animals. Here’s how you can tell if a ginko tree is a boy or a girl. Hi! I am a boy tree. I am a girl tree. My arms go straight up. I have the shape of a tall tower (塔). My arms go out wide. I look round and full. My leaves have a big slit (裂口) in the middle. My leaves have a small slit. You can hardly see it. My flowers look like worms (虫子). My flowers look like matchsticks (火柴棍) with two heads. 1．We can not see ginko fruits in ________.

You may find that only some of them grow little yellow fruits from August to October.”可知，从8月到10月，银杏只有一部分会结出黄色的小果实，因此在四月见不到银杏叶的果实。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Just eat about ten fruits a day.”可知，一天吃大约10个银杏果实。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“My flowers look like matchsticks (火柴棍) with two heads.”可知，女孩银杏树的花看起来像有两个头的火柴棍。故选B。 Passage 2 Do you love to eat blueberries? They grow on bushes (灌木). Every blueberry is small and round. Many blueberries can grow on one bush. At first, blueberries aren’t blue. They are green. You can’t eat the green berries. They need a lot of sun and rain to become big and sweet. When the berries are blue, they are ripe (成熟的) and sweet. Some farmers grow blueberries in big fields.

Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water. ④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these. ⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves. 1．Trees can “talk” in different ways. How many ways does the passage show? A．One.

Scientists call it the ‘Wood Wide Web’ (树联网).”可知，树木通过化学物质、声音以及“Wood Wide Web”三种方式进行“交流”，所以是三种方式。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help,”可知，后文提到了求救，因此“attack”是“被伤害”的意思。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.”可知，第三段提到树木缺水时会发出声音，说明它们需要更多水才能存活。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章先介绍树木能够交流；然后分段分别介绍树木交流的三种方式；最后总结树用不同的方式交流，因此文章为总分总结构，故选A。 Passage 7 Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change color? Leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The Sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The Sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants. D．It is a way for animals to eat plants. 2．Why are leaves green in summer? A．Because trees are making food for leaves. B．Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees. C．Because there is no other color inside leaves in summer. D．Because they are busy making food for trees. 3．What stops leaves from making the green chemical in autumn? A．Less air in autumn. B．Less sunlight in autumn. C．Less water in autumn. D．Less time in autumn. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The importance of the sunlight. B．The trees in different seasons. C．The colors of the tree leaves. D．The changes of the four seasons. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了树叶之所以会变色，是因为它们通过光合作用制造食物。 1．细节理解题。根据“This way of making food is called photosynthesis.”可知，光合作用是植物制作食物的方法。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Leaves are green in summer because they are making food.”可知，树叶在夏天是绿色的，因为它们正在为树制造食物。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down.”可知，秋天树叶停止产生绿色化学物质是因为阳光减少。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt.”可知，一旦天气变得足够冷，晚上开始结冰，树木就会落叶。它们这样做是为了保证自己的安全。如果树叶还挂在树上就结冰了，那么树木就会受到伤害。所以they指的是树木，故选A。 5．最佳标题题。根据“Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change color?”及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了树叶的颜色及为什么会变色，故“树叶的颜色”符合本文标题。故选C。 Passage 8 ①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they give out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked (攻击)!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots.

Here is an example. Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) took many of their chickens, so the farmers killed many hawks. They don’t need to worry about their chickens. But then they had new worries. Mice ate the farmers’ food. How did this happen? Hawks ate not only chickens but also mice. They ate more mice than chickens. But the farmers did not know this. When they killed many hawks, they changed the balance of nature. Changing the balance is bad for nature. Sometimes when people move into a new place, they often cut down many plants. Some of these plants are food for animals. If the animals cannot find food to eat, they will die. Hcre is another example. In a place of the US, the giraffes (长颈鹿) ate a kind of rose the lions there ate the giraffes. But people killed many lions to protect the giraffes. Soon many giraffes ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees. These trees were important to people. So people thought many ways to protect trees. Now the giraffes had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature. Please always keep this in mind: It’s important for us to keep the balance of nature. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an opinion. D．By telling a life story. 2．Which one shows the right relation (关系) of giraffes, lions, roses and trees?
