New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds' travel. ②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little “wings”. When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can't fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds. ③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop. ④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it's a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places too. ⑤Seeds can't walk.

What makes them change their colours? ②Leaves 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. ③Summer 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 colours inside them. During summer, those colours are covered by the green colour. ④Many 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 colours grow when that happens. ⑤Once 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（光秃秃的） in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. ⑥Spring 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 colours. 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. B.Less sunlight. C.Less water. D.Less time. 3.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.The trees. B.The leaves. C.The colours. D.The animals. 4.What would be the best structure of the passage? A.①②③④⑤\⑥ B.①\②\③④⑤⑥ C.①\②③④⑤\⑥ D.①\②③\④\⑤⑥ 5.What is the best title for the passage? A.The importance of the sunlight B.The trees in different places C.The changes of the tree leaves D.The changes of the four seasons 参考答案 Part 1 基础过关 一、根据首字母或图片提示写出单词 1.opular 2.land 3.shoots 4.roses 5.bamboo （1）A （2）B 二、用所给单词的适当形式填空 1.butterflies 2.weighs 3.tools 4.actually 5.appeared 三、用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空（每词限用一次） 1.wings 2.African 3.province 4.peonies 5.believe 四、根据汉语意思完成句子（每空一词） 1.up to 2.one of the ways 3.a symbol of 4.feel free to 5.take a walk 五、从方框中选择最佳选项补全对话（有两项多余） 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.G 5.F Part2 Grammar Focus 一、用所给副词的适当形式填空 1.（the） most carefully 2.（the） highest 3.worse 4.harder 5.farther/further 二、用括号内所给形容词的适当形式补全短文 1.best 2.healthier 3.most amazing 4.more colourful 5.brighter 6.most enjoyable 7.quieter 8.most relaxing Part 3 阅读能力强化训练 一、教材整合 1.with 2.the most popular 3.the largest and oldest 4.in one day 5.building houses 二、迁移应用 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.C ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
