Plants are trees, bushes (灌木), flowers and grass. A plant needs many things to help it grow. It needs sunlight, water, soil and air. Sunlight comes from the sun. It gives a plant energy (能量). A plant needs water to grow. Water helps carry food from the soil (土壤) to all its parts. As for soil it has food for plants to grow big and strong. We cannot see air, but it is everywhere. And it helps the plant breathe. Do you know how to grow a plant? First, put seeds in soil. Then, water the seed. After a few days, there will be roots and a seeding. After some weeks, you can see stems and big leaves. After some months, when the plant grows up, we can see its flowers and fruits. 1．What can you know from Paragraph 1? A．All plants are green. B．There are many kinds (种类) of plants. C．Plants are important. D．Children like plants. 2．Why do plants need water to grow? A．Because it gives them energy B．Because it helps them breathe. C．Because it helps carry food. D．Because it has food for plants to grow big and strong. 3．When can we see stems and big leaves after growing a plant? A．After five days. B．After some weeks. C．After ten months. D．After two mid-nights. I love travelling around the world. I find there are different plants in different places. The flame tree is very popular in Africa for several reasons. First, it has beautiful red flowers and lovely green leaves. Second, it’s a big tree and it gives us a lot of shade in summer. Its flowers are very beautiful, aren’t they? However, young trees won’t produce any flowers for about 8 years. The lychee tree grows widely in the countries of South-east Asia. It produces very sweet fruit. The lychee tree’s fruit is red outside and white inside. Bamboo is very famous in China. We use bamboo in different ways. We can make furniture. We can also use it for making chopsticks and plates. 1．How many kinds of plants are mentioned (提及) in the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Which is NOT the reason why the flame tree is popular? A．It has lovely green leaves. B．It’s a big tree and it gives us a lot of shade in summer. C．Its flowers are very beautiful. D．Its fruit is very sweet. 3．Where does the lychee tree grow widely? A．In Africa. B．In America. C．In South-east Asia. D．In China. 4．What can we use bamboo to do? A．To make furniture. B．To make chopsticks and plates. C．To make flowers and fruits. D．Both A and B． Trees are important in our daily lives. What are the parts of a tree? Seeds Like many plants, every tree starts life as a seed. A seed needs food, water and sunlight to grow. Roots All of the trees have roots. They go into the soil (土壤) and have two important jobs to do. They make the tree stand, and they take in water and other things from the soil. Trunks (树干) The trunk of a tree supports the branches of the tree and moves water and other things from the soil to the other parts of the tree. Branches Branches grow out from the trunk. They are important. They move water and other things from the trunk to the leaves. Leaves Leaves can catch sunlight. Using sunlight, the leaves produce food for the whole tree. Leaves use the water from the soil to make sugar to feed the tree. At the same time, trees release (释放) oxygen into the air. This is very important, because all the animals and humans need oxygen to live. 1．A tree starts life as a ________. A．seed B．root C．branch D．leaf 2．Which of the following CANNOT roots do for the tree? A．They make the tree stand. B．They take in water. C．They take in some other things from the soil. D．They catch sunlight. 3．The writer wrote the passage to ________. A．introduce the parts of trees B．tell us how to save trees C．encourage us to plant trees D．introduce some interesting trees 4．Where can we probably read the passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a newspaper. D．In a history book. Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change their colors? Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). 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 are icy 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．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. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 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 Do you love flowers? Today I will tell you something about a kind of beautiful flower—sunflowers. A sunflower is a big, round, yellow flower. Sunflowers need a lot of sunlight to grow. In fact, sunflowers are made up of (由……构成) many small flowers. The central part is made up of one kind of flower, and the petals (花瓣) around it are another kind of flower. We use sunflowers in different ways. One thing we do with them is to look at them! Many people plant them in gardens because they are so big, bright and colorful. They can also be cut and brought inside. They will last (维持) a long time in a vase (花瓶). Sunflower seeds are delicious. People, birds, and other animals love to eat sunflower seeds. They can be difficult to be eaten (被吃掉) because of the shell, but they are rich in protein (蛋白质) and are good for health. Sunflower seeds also have a lot of oil. Many people use sunflower oil for cooking. The food tastes very nice after people use it. Sunflowers are beautiful flowers, and they give us and other animals food. But be careful of the rough (粗糙的) stems, or they will hurt you. 1．Which is TRUE about a sunflower according to Paragraph 2? A．It is very small. B．It is made up of one kind of flower. C．It has no petals. D．Its shape is round. 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．People. B．Birds and animals. C．Sunflower stems. D．Sunflower seeds. 3．We may find the passage from the ________ part of a newspaper. A．plant B．food C．animal D．health Plants: more than we thought Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like humans. But now, new research shows plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting themselves One way is in how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms (虫子) eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication (沟通) Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant Memory Do plants have memory? There’s the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to flower (开花) in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain, but they feel touch or being eaten and react (反应), even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．According to Paragraph 2, tomato plants protect themselves by ________. A．changing their shape B．growing bigger leaves C．hiding from the worms D．making leaves taste bad 2．Why do many fruit trees have the “memory of winter”? A．To enjoy the sunshine. B．To keep warm in winter. C．To feel pain like humans. D．To flower at the right time. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plants have a fantastic memory. B．Plants are amazing in different ways. C．Plants have magic communication skills. D．Plants are good at protecting themselves. 进阶拓展训练6篇 “You are going to enter the largest wild (野生的) seed (种子) bank in the world,” said Sharon Balding. She is the Seed Collections manager at the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB). This seed bank is in Sussex, U. K. “Inside there are over 39,000 different kinds of seeds from more than 100 countries. That’s over 2.8 billion seeds,” Sharon said. She turned a key, and the heavy door slowly opened. Inside the MSB, there are many glass bottles with seeds. The bottles are named with numbers, not plant names. “This is for safety,” Sharon said. “If someone takes the seeds away, he won’t know what they are!” So, is the collection worth a lot of money? “It’s invaluable,” said Sharon. “Our future life rests on these seeds. Without them, we could lose important things, like food and medicines.” Some seeds here have already helped. For example, in early 2020, fires in Australia burned down the natural environment of a special plant. The MSB sent 250 seeds back to the country to help the plant reestablish in the wild again. As the world gets warmer because of climate change (气候变化), it will be harder for some plants to live in the U. K. “One day it may be too warm for some of the UK’s trees to grow,” said Owen Blake. He is part of the U. K. Tree Seed Collecting Team. “So we are looking for and studying trees from other parts of the world. Some of these trees can grow in the warmer U. K. climate,” he said. 1．What can we know about the MSB in paragraph 1? A．It only has seeds from the U. K. B．It has less than 2.8 billion seeds. C．It has more than 390,000 kinds of seeds. D．It is the largest wild seed bank in the world. 2．Why are the bottles named with numbers, not plant names? A．To protect the seeds. B．To find the seeds easily. C．To show the value of the seeds. D．To tell how many seeds there are. 3．What does the underlined word “reestablish” probably mean? A．Take off. B．Get up. C．Grow back. D．Run away. 4．What is Owen working on according to paragraph 4? A．Planting trees in colder areas in U. K. B．Working hard to stop climate change in U. K. C．Finding nice places for plants to grow in U. K. D．Looking for trees that can grow in the warmer U. K. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Seeds for a Safer Future. B．Solutions for Climate Change. C．A Trip to the Millennium Seed Bank. D．Scientists in Tree Seed Collecting Team. ①The Christmas party is over. The gifts are opened. The Christmas tree has finished its work. Every year, people around the world buy lots of trees for Christmas. In 2022, people in America bought 20~30 million trees! But where do the trees go after the holiday? ②Many countries recycle (回收) the Christmas trees. For example, in Berlin, people take off toys from the trees and leave the trees on the streets. The trees will be sent to the power stations. Every year, Berlin recycles about 350,000 trees. They can make electricity (电) for 500 families to use for a year. ③In New York people always send their trees to parks. There, the trees are cut into small pieces. The wood pieces are used in gardens to keep the plants warm. ④In some countries, many Christmas trees are sent to zoos. Once a year, elephants in Austria get their favorite food. The trees taste sweet. ⑤The lives of Christmas trees are short, but they bring people so much happiness. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Power stations.

Let’s take some plants as an example. Monster Flower The monster flower is the name of a plant. It has the biggest flower in the world. To people, the plant’s smell is really bad! But bees and other insects love this smell. And that helps the plant! Giant Tree Most trees are tall. But the tallest trees in the world are redwood trees. These trees are slow growers. It takes them 500 years to grow very, very tall and wide. Redwood trees are 300 feet tall. That’s about as tall as a stack of 40 school buses! Redwoods are 30 feet wide. That’s about as wide as 3 school buses side by side. Pitcher Plant The pitcher plant traps insects. This plant smells nice. Insects like its smell. But when an insect slips into (溜进) the pitcher plant, quickly, the pitcher plant catches it! Sundew Plant Insects love the leaves’ smell of the sundew plant. But when an insect creeps or lands on a sundew’s leaf, the insect can’t get away. The leaves are sticky. The insect is stuck (粘住). 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

But around the world, the cities are growing and they bring us pollution (污染), so many mangrove forests are lost. In Shenzhen, the city is working hard to help mangoves. The city is small and busy, but it keeps 1% of the main city part for mangroves. The city even moves the Coastal Highway to help the mangroves. To bring back the mangroves, the city also plants more mangroves in some right places. Now, the Futian Mangrove Reserve becomes home to migratory birds. Many people in Shenzhen like helping mangroves. They enjoy activities like planting trees and making more people know about mangroves. But there aren’t many chances (机会) for them to join in. So, the city needs to do more and gives chances to let people help. Helping mangroves is good for our city and the world. We should do our best to help these important forests. And we have a long way to go. 1．Why are mangroves important for our earth? A．They make the air fresh. B．They are around the world. C．They make the city grow.

The workers in the plant are busy and ready to start their jobs. The plant has many workers in different parts. Each part of the plant has workers to do important jobs. The workers in the Root send water up to the Stem, and then the water rises to the Leaf. In the Leaf, the workers make use of the water, CO2 and sunlight (二氧化碳和阳光). These things help the plant make sugar (糖). Sugar is very important for the plant because it helps the plant grow. The plant also makes oxygen (氧气), but it doesn’t need much of it. Oxygen is very important because we need it to breathe (呼吸). The workers work hard all day. They keep the plant healthy and help it grow. When the night comes, the workers take a rest and wait for the next day to begin. Plants do more than just give us food and oxygen. They help clean the air and keep the world healthy. Without plants, the world would be very different. 1．Where does the water come from in the plant? A．From the Leaf. B．From the Stem. C．From the Root.

Go for a walk in the park in the morning, and you can feel how nice it is to be with many trees and clean air. Trees also give us many kinds of beautiful flowers and delicious fruits such as apples and oranges. Trees give homes to different insects, birds and other animals. Even the sap (汁液) of trees is useful as food for insects. ________ We can use them in many ways. But we are hurting (伤害) them and they can’t grow back quickly. We cut down trees to make paper, desks and chairs. Also, we sometimes clear (清空) the forest to make space to build houses, shops and so on. Clearing the forest is bad. Many animals lose (失去) their homes because of this. It is time for us to stop hurting our great friends—trees. Use not as much paper and join tree-planting activities.

Plants are an important part in nature because they give out oxygen. All animals need it for breathing. What is a plant? Most people can find the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant? Like animals, plants are living things with lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food with water, CO2 and sunlight. Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. How does a plant grow? For most animals, genes (基因) control (控制) their growth. That means when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Genes controlled their growth too, but their final shapes may be different because of the place they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space (空间), but taller and thinner if it grows with many other trees around it. Plants can’t move from one place to another, so it is important for them to fit (适应) in the place they live. 1．What can we learn in Paragraph 1? A．Parts of plants. B．Number of plants. C．Colors of plants. D．Food of plants. 2．How does the writer talk about the plants in Paragraph 2? A．By comparing. B．By telling stories. C．By giving numbers. D．By drawing pictures. 3．What can we know about plants from the passage? A．Trees grow tall and thin in an open place. B．Plants and animals grow in different ways. C．Only environment controls the plants’ growth. D．The same kind of plants grow into the same shape. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The Magic Plants B．Life of an Animal C．The Growth of Animals D．Plants and Sunlight 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作同步新教材精品系列资料，名师精选！ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作同步新教材精品系列资料，名师精选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit3 Trees and us 单元话题（人与植物）阅读理解18篇（紧贴新教材） 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练6篇 What are plants? Plants are trees, bushes (灌木), flowers and grass. A plant needs many things to help it grow. It needs sunlight, water, soil and air. Sunlight comes from the sun. It gives a plant energy (能量). A plant needs water to grow. Water helps carry food from the soil (土壤) to all its parts. As for soil it has food for plants to grow big and strong. We cannot see air, but it is everywhere. And it helps the plant breathe. Do you know how to grow a plant? First, put seeds in soil. Then, water the seed. After a few days, there will be roots and a seeding.

Seeds Like many plants, every tree starts life as a seed. A seed needs food, water and sunlight to grow. Roots All of the trees have roots. They go into the soil (土壤) and have two important jobs to do. They make the tree stand, and they take in water and other things from the soil. Trunks (树干) The trunk of a tree supports the branches of the tree and moves water and other things from the soil to the other parts of the tree. Branches Branches grow out from the trunk. They are important. They move water and other things from the trunk to the leaves. Leaves Leaves can catch sunlight. Using sunlight, the leaves produce food for the whole tree. Leaves use the water from the soil to make sugar to feed the tree. At the same time, trees release (释放) oxygen into the air. This is very important, because all the animals and humans need oxygen to live. 1．A tree starts life as a ________.

What makes them change their colors? Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). 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 are icy 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．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. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 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．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了树叶在不同季节的颜色变化及其原因，特别是光合作用在其中的作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees.

Today I will tell you something about a kind of beautiful flower—sunflowers. A sunflower is a big, round, yellow flower. Sunflowers need a lot of sunlight to grow. In fact, sunflowers are made up of (由……构成) many small flowers. The central part is made up of one kind of flower, and the petals (花瓣) around it are another kind of flower. We use sunflowers in different ways. One thing we do with them is to look at them! Many people plant them in gardens because they are so big, bright and colorful. They can also be cut and brought inside. They will last (维持) a long time in a vase (花瓶). Sunflower seeds are delicious. People, birds, and other animals love to eat sunflower seeds. They can be difficult to be eaten (被吃掉) because of the shell, but they are rich in protein (蛋白质) and are good for health. Sunflower seeds also have a lot of oil. Many people use sunflower oil for cooking. The food tastes very nice after people use it. Sunflowers are beautiful flowers, and they give us and other animals food.

In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like humans. But now, new research shows plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting themselves One way is in how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms (虫子) eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication (沟通) Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant Memory Do plants have memory? There’s the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to flower (开花) in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain, but they feel touch or being eaten and react (反应), even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．According to Paragraph 2, tomato plants protect themselves by ________. A．changing their shape B．growing bigger leaves C．hiding from the worms D．making leaves taste bad 2．Why do many fruit trees have the “memory of winter”? A．To enjoy the sunshine. B．To keep warm in winter. C．To feel pain like humans. D．To flower at the right time. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plants have a fantastic memory. B．Plants are amazing in different ways. C．Plants have magic communication skills. D．Plants are good at protecting themselves. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要描述了植物在不同方面的奇妙特性，比如自我保护、沟通和记忆，说明植物的多样性和独特性。 1．细节理解题。根据“For example, when worms (虫子) eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice.”可知，番茄通过制作特殊汁液让叶子变得难吃来保护自己，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Many fruit trees need to ‘remember’ the number of cold days in winter to flower (开花) in spring.”可以，果树需要“冬天的记忆”来确保在春天合适的时候开花。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要描述了植物在不同方面的奇妙特性，比如自我保护、沟通和记忆，说明植物的多样性和独特性。故选B。 进阶拓展训练6篇 “You are going to enter the largest wild (野生的) seed (种子) bank in the world,” said Sharon Balding. She is the Seed Collections manager at the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB). This seed bank is in Sussex, U. K. “Inside there are over 39,000 different kinds of seeds from more than 100 countries. That’s over 2.8 billion seeds,” Sharon said. She turned a key, and the heavy door slowly opened. Inside the MSB, there are many glass bottles with seeds. The bottles are named with numbers, not plant names. “This is for safety,” Sharon said. “If someone takes the seeds away, he won’t know what they are!” So, is the collection worth a lot of money? “It’s invaluable,” said Sharon. “Our future life rests on these seeds. Without them, we could lose important things, like food and medicines.” Some seeds here have already helped. For example, in early 2020, fires in Australia burned down the natural environment of a special plant. The MSB sent 250 seeds back to the country to help the plant reestablish in the wild again. As the world gets warmer because of climate change (气候变化), it will be harder for some plants to live in the U. K. “One day it may be too warm for some of the UK’s trees to grow,” said Owen Blake. He is part of the U. K. Tree Seed Collecting Team. “So we are looking for and studying trees from other parts of the world. Some of these trees can grow in the warmer U. K. climate,” he said. 1．What can we know about the MSB in paragraph 1? A．It only has seeds from the U. K. B．It has less than 2.8 billion seeds. C．It has more than 390,000 kinds of seeds. D．It is the largest wild seed bank in the world. 2．Why are the bottles named with numbers, not plant names? A．To protect the seeds. B．To find the seeds easily. C．To show the value of the seeds. D．To tell how many seeds there are. 3．What does the underlined word “reestablish” probably mean? A．Take off. B．Get up. C．Grow back. D．Run away. 4．What is Owen working on according to paragraph 4? A．Planting trees in colder areas in U. K. B．Working hard to stop climate change in U. K. C．Finding nice places for plants to grow in U. K. D．Looking for trees that can grow in the warmer U. K. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Seeds for a Safer Future. B．Solutions for Climate Change. C．A Trip to the Millennium Seed Bank. D．Scientists in Tree Seed Collecting Team. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了世界上最大的野生种子库MSB，收藏的种子对人类未来生活至关重要，可用于重建被破坏的植物环境以及应对气候变化对英国本土植物的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“You are going to enter the largest wild (野生的) seed (种子) bank in the world”可知MSB是世界上最大的野生种子库。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Inside the MSB, there are many glass bottles with seeds. The bottles are named with numbers, not plant names. ‘This is for safety,’”可知瓶子是用数字命名的，而不是植物名称，这是为了安全考虑，即保护种子。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据“The MSB sent 30 seeds back to the country to help the plant reestablish in the wild again.”可知MSB将30颗种子送回该国，以帮助该植物再次在野外重新长出来，故此处划线部分意为“重新长出来”，和grow back意义相近。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“So we are looking for and studying trees from other parts of the world. Some of these trees can grow in the warmer U. K. climate”可知他们正在寻找和研究世界其他地区的树木，这些树中的一些可以生长在英国较温暖的气候中。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。本文介绍了世界上最大的野生种子库MSB，收藏的种子对人类未来生活至关重要，可用于重建被破坏的植物环境以及应对气候变化对英国本土植物的影响，以选项A“为更安全的未来播下种子”为标题最合适。故选A。 ①The Christmas party is over.

Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are an important part in nature because they give out oxygen. All animals need it for breathing. What is a plant? Most people can find the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant? Like animals, plants are living things with lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food with water, CO2 and sunlight. Most plants have roots, stems, and leaves, and most plants reproduce by growing flowers and making seeds. How does a plant grow? For most animals, genes (基因) control (控制) their growth. That means when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Genes controlled their growth too, but their final shapes may be different because of the place they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows up in an open space (空间), but taller and thinner if it grows with many other trees around it. Plants can’t move from one place to another, so it is important for them to fit (适应) in the place they live. 1．What can we learn in Paragraph 1? A．Parts of plants. B．Number of plants.
