They are large, bright-coloured flowers that are known for always facing the sun during the day. This phenomenon is called heliotropism (向日性). Young sunflower buds and leaves track the sun’s movement across the sky from east to west. As the sunflower matures, its flower head usually ends up facing east. The structure of a sunflower is quite interesting. What we often think of as a single flower is actually a large cluster (簇；群) of hundreds or even thousands of tiny flowers. The outer ring of “petals (花瓣)” is actually made up of ray florets (舌状花), which are mainly for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The centre part consists of disk florets (盘心花), which can develop into seeds after pollination. Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful. Their seeds are a popular snack, rich in protein (蛋白质), vitamins, and healthy fats. They can also be pressed to extract sunflower oil, which is widely used in cooking and the production of cosmetics (化妆品). In addition, sunflower stalks can be used in the paper-making industry. 1．Sunflowers are known for always facing the sun during the day. 2．Young sunflower buds and leaves track the sun’s movement across the sky from west to east. 3．The centre part consists of disk florets, which can develop into seeds before pollination. 4．Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful. 5．Sunflower stalks can be used in the paper-making industry. 九、阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题2分，计20分） A The Amazing Cactus Cacti are special plants that mainly grow in deserts. Unlike most plants, they have thick stems instead of large leaves. These stems can store water, which is very important for living in dry places. Cacti come in many shapes and sizes. Some are as small as a tennis ball, while others can grow up to 20 meters tall. Their flowers are usually bright—pink, yellow, or red—and bloom for a short time each year. Why don’t cacti need much water? One reason is their spines. Spines are like sharp needles that grow on the stems. They stop animals from eating the cactus and also reduce water loss by shading the plant. People in desert areas use cacti in different ways. Some eat the fruit of certain cacti, which is sweet and juicy. Others use the stems to make medicine. But cacti are also in danger because of overcollecting and habitat loss. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Where do most cacti grow? A．In forests. B．In deserts. C．In rivers. D．In mountains. 2．What helps cacti store water? A．Large leaves. B．Thin stems. C．Thick stems. D．Bright flowers. 3．What is the function of cactus spines? A．To help the plant grow taller. B．To store extra water. C．To stop animals from eating the cactus. D．To make the plant look beautiful. 4．The underlined word “habitat” means ________ in Chinese. A．寿命 B．栖息地 C．品种 D．价值 5．Why are cacti in danger? A．They get too much water. B．They bloom for a short time. C．Overcollecting and habitat loss. D．Their fruit is too sweet. B How Animal Migration Helps Ecosystems​ Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year—this is called migration. Migration is not just a journey for the animals; it plays a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy.​ For example, in Africa, millions of wildebeests migrate across the plains. As they move, they eat old grass, which allows new grass to grow. Their droppings also fertilize the soil. When predators like lions hunt the wildebeests, they keep the herd’s numbers balanced.​ Birds that migrate help spread seeds. As they eat fruits, the seeds pass through their bodies and are dropped in new areas. This helps plants grow in different places, creating more homes for other animals. Even insects like butterflies migrate to carry pollen, which helps flowers reproduce.​ However, migration is becoming harder for many animals. Climate change is altering weather patterns, and human buildings block their paths. Protecting migration routes is crucial to save both the animals and the ecosystems they support. 1．What is migration according to the passage?​ A．Animals’ daily activities in their home.​ B．Animals’ movement between places at certain times.​ C．Animals’ fight against predators.​ D．Animals’ way of communicating with each other.​ 2．The underlined word “fertilize” in Paragraph 2 means ________ in Chinese.​ A．污染 B．破坏 C．肥沃 D．占用​ 3．Why is migration important for ecosystems?​ A．It helps animals find better homes.​ B．It stops predators from growing too fast.​ C．It balances nature in many ways.​ D．It allows humans to study animal behavior.​ 4．How do migrating birds help plants?​ A．They eat harmful insects on plants.​ B．They carry seeds to new areas.​ C．They build nests in tall trees.​ D．They drink water from plant leaves.​ 5．What can we learn from the last paragraph?​ A．Human activities make migration easier.​ B．Climate change has no effect on migration.​ C．Protecting migration routes is necessary.​ D．Most animals have stopped migrating.​ B卷（共50分） 1、 补全单词 根据首字母及句意写出完整单词。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 1．Driverless cars will make fewer mistakes than h drivers do. 2．Maths plays a r in our everyday life. 3．The o is home to whales. 4．Bees make h from flowers. 5．The r flowers are the symbol of love. 二、完成对话（共10小题；计10分） 在空格中填上适当的单词，使对话完整正确。一空一词（含缩写词）。 A-Judy    B-Selina    They’re friends.

Angry? Sad? At this moment, you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected (相关的). We need each other to live and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen (花粉) with them. 2 In fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. 3 For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. 4 Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. 5 They need our help, and there is a lot we can do.

They are large, bright-coloured flowers that are known for always facing the sun during the day. This phenomenon is called heliotropism (向日性). Young sunflower buds and leaves track the sun’s movement across the sky from east to west. As the sunflower matures, its flower head usually ends up facing east. The structure of a sunflower is quite interesting. What we often think of as a single flower is actually a large cluster (簇；群) of hundreds or even thousands of tiny flowers. The outer ring of “petals (花瓣)” is actually made up of ray florets (舌状花), which are mainly for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The centre part consists of disk florets (盘心花), which can develop into seeds after pollination. Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful. Their seeds are a popular snack, rich in protein (蛋白质), vitamins, and healthy fats. They can also be pressed to extract sunflower oil, which is widely used in cooking and the production of cosmetics (化妆品). In addition, sunflower stalks can be used in the paper-making industry. 1．Sunflowers are known for always facing the sun during the day. 2．Young sunflower buds and leaves track the sun’s movement across the sky from west to east. 3．The centre part consists of disk florets, which can develop into seeds before pollination. 4．Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful. 5．Sunflower stalks can be used in the paper-making industry. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了向日葵的特点、结构和用途。 1．细节理解题。根据“They are large, bright-coloured flowers that are known for always facing the sun during the day.”可知，向日葵因白天始终面向太阳而闻名。故答案为A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Young sunflower buds and leaves track the sun’s movement across the sky from east to west.”可知，向日葵幼苗的花蕾和叶子是从东向西跟随太阳运动，而非从西向东。故答案为B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The centre part consists of disk florets (盘心花), which can develop into seeds after pollination.”可知，盘心花是在授粉后发育成种子，而非授粉前。故答案为B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also very useful.”可知，向日葵不仅美丽而且很有用。故答案为A。 5．细节理解题。根据“In addition, sunflower stalks can be used in the paper-making industry.”可知，向日葵茎秆可用于造纸。故答案为A。 九、阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题2分，计20分） A The Amazing Cactus Cacti are special plants that mainly grow in deserts. Unlike most plants, they have thick stems instead of large leaves. These stems can store water, which is very important for living in dry places. Cacti come in many shapes and sizes. Some are as small as a tennis ball, while others can grow up to 20 meters tall. Their flowers are usually bright—pink, yellow, or red—and bloom for a short time each year. Why don’t cacti need much water? One reason is their spines. Spines are like sharp needles that grow on the stems. They stop animals from eating the cactus and also reduce water loss by shading the plant. People in desert areas use cacti in different ways. Some eat the fruit of certain cacti, which is sweet and juicy. Others use the stems to make medicine. But cacti are also in danger because of overcollecting and habitat loss. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Where do most cacti grow? A．In forests. B．In deserts. C．In rivers. D．In mountains. 2．What helps cacti store water? A．Large leaves. B．Thin stems. C．Thick stems. D．Bright flowers. 3．What is the function of cactus spines? A．To help the plant grow taller. B．To store extra water. C．To stop animals from eating the cactus. D．To make the plant look beautiful. 4．The underlined word “habitat” means ________ in Chinese. A．寿命 B．栖息地 C．品种 D．价值 5．Why are cacti in danger? A．They get too much water. B．They bloom for a short time. C．Overcollecting and habitat loss. D．Their fruit is too sweet. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了仙人掌的生长环境、形态特征、适应干旱的原因、人类对其的利用及面临的威胁。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“Cacti are special plants that mainly grow in deserts.”可知，仙人掌主要生长在沙漠里，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“they have thick stems instead of large leaves. These stems can store water”可知，粗厚的茎能储存水分，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文中“Spines...stop animals from eating the cactus”可知，尖刺能阻止动物啃食仙人掌，故选C。 4．词义猜测题。根据“habitat loss”与“overcollecting (过度采集)”可知，这里指威胁仙人掌生存的因素，所以推测habitat应意为 “栖息地”，故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据文中“cacti are also in danger because of overcollecting and habitat loss”可知，处于危险的原因是过度采集和栖息地丧失，故选C。 B How Animal Migration Helps Ecosystems​ Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year—this is called migration. Migration is not just a journey for the animals; it plays a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy.​ For example, in Africa, millions of wildebeests migrate across the plains. As they move, they eat old grass, which allows new grass to grow. Their droppings also fertilize the soil. When predators like lions hunt the wildebeests, they keep the herd’s numbers balanced.​ Birds that migrate help spread seeds. As they eat fruits, the seeds pass through their bodies and are dropped in new areas. This helps plants grow in different places, creating more homes for other animals. Even insects like butterflies migrate to carry pollen, which helps flowers reproduce.​ However, migration is becoming harder for many animals. Climate change is altering weather patterns, and human buildings block their paths. Protecting migration routes is crucial to save both the animals and the ecosystems they support. 1．What is migration according to the passage?​ A．Animals’ daily activities in their home.​ B．Animals’ movement between places at certain times.​ C．Animals’ fight against predators.​ D．Animals’ way of communicating with each other.​ 2．The underlined word “fertilize” in Paragraph 2 means ________ in Chinese.​ A．污染 B．破坏 C．肥沃 D．占用​ 3．Why is migration important for ecosystems?​ A．It helps animals find better homes.​ B．It stops predators from growing too fast.​ C．It balances nature in many ways.​ D．It allows humans to study animal behavior.​ 4．How do migrating birds help plants?​ A．They eat harmful insects on plants.​ B．They carry seeds to new areas.​ C．They build nests in tall trees.​ D．They drink water from plant leaves.​ 5．What can we learn from the last paragraph?​ A．Human activities make migration easier.​ B．Climate change has no effect on migration.​ C．Protecting migration routes is necessary.​ D．Most animals have stopped migrating.​ 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍动物迁徙对生态系统的重要作用及迁徙面临的挑战与保护的必要性。 1．细节理解题。文章开篇明确指出“Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year—this is called migration.”，即迁徙是动物在一年中的特定时间从一个地方到另一个地方的移动。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。第二段提到“Their droppings also fertilize the soil.”，结合常识，动物的粪便能够让土壤变得肥沃，所以“fertilize”在这里的中文意思是“肥沃”。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。从文章第二、三段可知，角马迁徙时吃草、粪便能肥沃土壤，狮子等捕食者捕猎角马维持种群数量平衡；鸟类迁徙传播种子帮助植物生长，蝴蝶等昆虫迁徙传播花粉帮助花繁殖。这些例子都体现出迁徙在很多方面平衡了大自然，对生态系统起到了重要作用。故选C。 4．细节理解题。第三段明确表述“Birds that migrate help spread seeds. As they eat fruits, the seeds pass through their bodies and are dropped in new areas.”，说明迁徙的鸟类通过把种子带到新区域来帮助植物。故选B。 5．推理判断题。最后一段提到“Protecting migration routes is crucial to save both the animals and the ecosystems they support.”，意思是保护迁徙路线对于拯救动物和它们所支撑的生态系统至关重要，即保护迁徙路线是必要的。故选C。 B卷（共50分） 1、 补全单词 根据首字母及句意写出完整单词。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分） 1．Driverless cars will make fewer mistakes than h drivers do. 【答案】(h)uman 【详解】句意：无人驾驶汽车比人类驾驶员犯的错误更少。根据“Driverless cars will make fewer mistakes than … drivers do.”以及首字母可知，此处指人类的，形容词作定语来修饰名词。human人的、人类的，形容词。故填(h)uman。 2．Maths plays a r in our everyday life. 【答案】(r)ole 【详解】句意：数学在我们的日常生活中起着重要作用。role“作用”，play a role“发挥作用”。故填(r)ole。 3．The o is home to whales. 【答案】(o)cean 【详解】句意：海洋是鲸鱼的家园。根据“whales”并结合首字母提示可知，鲸鱼生活在海洋中，ocean符合。故填(o)cean。 4．Bees make h from flowers. 【答案】(h)oney 【详解】句意：蜜蜂从花朵中获取花蜜来酿造蜂蜜。根据“Bees make...from flowers.”以及首字母可知，此处是指蜜蜂从花中采花蜜来酿造蜂蜜；考查honey“蜂蜜”，不可数名词。故填(h)oney。 5．The r flowers are the symbol of love. 【答案】(r)ose 【详解】句意：玫瑰花是爱情的象征。根据“The…flowers are the symbol of love.”及首字母提示可知，结合常识象征爱情的花应是玫瑰，应用名词rose“玫瑰”作定语修饰名词flowers。故填(r)ose。 二、完成对话（共10小题；计10分） 在空格中填上适当的单词，使对话完整正确。一空一词（含缩写词）。 A-Judy    B-Selina    They’re friends.
