Reproducing means creating more 1 of their group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this. The simplest way is gravity (重力). Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too 2 , it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way. Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good 3 of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are 4 with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree. Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place. Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that 5 ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They 6 eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground.

Reproducing means creating more 1 of their group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this. The simplest way is gravity (重力). Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too 2 , it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way. Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good 3 of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are 4 with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree. Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place. Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that 5 ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They 6 eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing. 1．A．inventions B．changes C．members D．chances 2．A．strong B．old C．light D．heavy 3．A．name B．example C．choice D．guess 4．A．pleased B．covered C．filled D．connected 5．A．produces B．attracts C．follows D．attacks 6．A．only B．still C．even D．soon 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了种子的传播方法。 1．句意：繁殖意味着创造更多的群体成员。 inventions发明；changes改变；members成员；chances机会。根据“Reproducing means creating more...of their group.”可知，繁殖意味着创造更多的群体成员，故选C。 2．句意：当一块水果太重时，它就会从树上掉到地上。 strong强壮的；old老的；light轻的；heavy重的。根据“When a piece of fruit gets too..., it falls from a tree to the ground.”可知，它会从树上掉到地上，所以是很重，故选D。 3．句意：蒲公英就是一个很好的例子。 name名字；example例子；choice选择；guess猜测。根据“Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good...of this.”可知，蒲公英是一个很好的例子。故选B。 4．句意：它们的种子与长而薄的叶子相连，看起来像翅膀。 pleased使高兴；covered覆盖；filled填满；connected连接。根据“Their seeds are...with long, thin leaves that look like wings.”可知，它们的种子与长而薄的叶子相连，故选D。 5．句意：有些种子有一种特殊的气味，可以吸引蚂蚁。 produces生产；attracts吸引；follows跟随；attacks袭击。根据“Some seeds have a special smell that...ants.”可知，特殊的气味可以吸引蚂蚁。故选B。 6．句意：它们只吃一部分种子。 only只；still仍然；even甚至；soon不久。根据“They leave the rest of the seed underground.”可知，它们把剩下的种子留在地下，所以只吃一部分，故选A。 （23-24八年级下·上海嘉定·期末）Choose the best answer and complete the passage.
