二、阅读理解
A
Green is an important colour in nature. It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the colour of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word ‘green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the l5th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命)is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成) to continue with a project.

七、阅读回答问题 ,每题答案不超过6个词
Our school is in the beautiful countryside near Dongqian Lake in Ningbo. It is a tradition (传统) of our school to let the students work in the fields to experience the joy of labor(劳动).
The class is divided into six groups. Each group member has his or her own job, such as watering the plants, recording data (数据) or loosening the dirt (松土). So far we’ve planted seven different kinds of food: corn, sunflowers, tomatoes, potatoes, rice, cucumbers and Chinese cabbages. The job is not easy. Each plant has its own needs. For example, Chinese cabbages need more water, and we need to clear away the grass for the corn. But when we ate our homegrown food, we felt our hard work had paid off!
We not only farm outside but also study in the classroom about agriculture (农业). For example, each group needs to choose a topic to research, such as “planting according to the 24 solar terms (节气)”, “the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and food crisis (危机)”, or “agricultural production in ancient Chinese poetry (诗歌)”. Every two months, we will be scored and compete for prizes based on our team report and how the plants have grown.
I really enjoy this kind of learning. Not only can students relax from busy schoolwork, but also we can know more about agriculture.
1. Why do the students in the writer’s school have to work in the fields?
2. How many kinds of food have they planted so far? _____
3. How did the students feel when they ate their own homegrown food?
4. How often will the students be scored and compete for prizes?
5. What do you think of the labor education?
