You can plant vegetables there. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? The students at No. 1 Middle School get to do this now. They plant vegetables in their school garden. The science teacher Ms. Wang has a vegetable garden in the school. The students plant vegetable seeds (种子) in the garden in spring. They water and watch the vegetables grow. They enjoy the vegetables in autumn. What great fun it is! The school garden is a good place for them to learn the ways to grow plants. Some students from Grade 7 plant about 5 kinds of vegetables in the garden. They want to know how things like soil and water influence (影响) the vegetables’ growth. Li Ke is one of them. She likes working in the school garden. “It is good for us to eat vegetables in different colors. I am happy to pick all kinds of colorful vegetables here,” she says. Tips: Why do vegetables have different colors? Actually, colors don’t just make vegetables look good. Vegetables in different colors give different vitamins (维生素) and minerals (矿物质). Every day, if you eat vegetables of different colors, you will become very healthy! 1．What subject does Ms. Wang teach? 2．When do the students plant vegetable seeds in the garden? 3．How many kinds of vegetables do the students plant in the garden? 4．Why is it healthy to eat vegetables in different colors? 5．If you can work in the school garden, how will you feel? Why? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下面小题。 Plants and animals are living things. All living things need food for energy. Without a way to get energy, they would die. Plants and animals get their food in different ways. A plant uses the energy in sunlight to make food for itself. Without the sun or carbon dioxide, small plants would not be able to grow into bigger plants. If you put a seed in the ground and give it water and energy from the sun, it will grow. It will grow into good food for other living things, mainly animals. Some animals, such as cows and pandas, eat plants. Some animals eat other animals. We call these animals carnivores. Still, plants feed all animals! How? Think of a tiger. The tiger eats animals that eat plants. Without plants, the tiger would have nothing to eat. 1．What are living things? 2．What do all living things need food for? 3．How does a plant make food for itself? 4．What do animals eat? 5．What do you think of plants? Why? 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 There are a lot of plants in the world. Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food for us from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can eat plants and other animals to live. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. This is why there are so many plants around us. There are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruit. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You cannot see many non-flowering plants around you. Look carefully at the plants around you, and you can find there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us, we can live on earth. 1．What can plants provide for human beings according the text? 2．How can animals live? 3．List two kinds of plants mentioned (被提及) in the passage. 4．What do you think of plants? Why? (每题答案不超过4个单词) What does your mother say before you play outside? Protect yourself from the sun! Sunburns are very painful. What should you do if you get a sunburn? There is a plant that can help. It’s called the aloe plant.   The aloe plant produces a special juice. If you break an aloe leaf, the juice flows out. Put some juice on your sunburn. You will feel better soon!   Plants are living things, yet most plants do not move. One plant is very special. People call it the “touch-me-not”. There is a good reason for this. If you touch this plant, its leaves close up!   How does the “touch-me-not” know when you touch it? Maybe you’re not sure about that. One thing is certain, though. It is fun to play with this plant!   The Earth is a pretty exciting place. There are so many things to see! Take a walk through a forest or a field and look around. There are weird and wonderful plants just waiting to be discovered! 1．Where should we put some juice of the aloe plant?   2．What happens when we touch the “touch-me-not”?   3．What does the writer want us to do?   When we talk of things that grow on the ground and have green leaves (叶子), but there are plants that do not look like other plants. Some of these are called fungi (真菌). Fungi may appear almost everywhere. They usually grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make food for themselves, and they must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Mushrooms (蘑菇) are the best-known fungi. There are many kinds of mushrooms. For example, we can find cauliflower mushrooms in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds. They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrels’ (松鼠的) bread is another kind of wild mushroom. These fungi look like small bread. Squirrels can easily eat them or take them to their holes to eat later. The mushrooms in food stores are grown carefully. People can eat them safely. People should never touch or taste wild mushrooms, because some of them are poisonous. Even less dangerous ones can still make a person feel bad. 1．What are most plants like? 2．Why do fungi usually grow in wet places? 3．When can we find cauliflower mushrooms in forests? 4．Which kind of mushrooms is safe according to the article? 5．What does the underlined word “poisonous” in Chinese? 任务型阅读 Can plants eat people? Maybe not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草). The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses (压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea! 1．Is the Venus flytrap a plant or an animal? 2．What’s inside the leaves of the plant? 3．Where do most plants get what they need? 4．What do you think of the flytrap? Why? 5．What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence? Read the passage and answer the following questions according to it. (阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。) One of the most surprising trees in the world is known as the baobab. This kind of tree mainly grows in South Africa and Australia. Sometimes, it is hard to tell what the name of a tree is because they look like each other. But this is not a problem with the baobab. Its appearance is quite different, so people can’t mistake it for another tree. The baobab is very wide, people often enjoy the shade under it. One Australian baobab was so large that people were able to turn part of the tree into a small room. The tree itself was so strong and wide that it could hold a large group of people. The strongest tree in the world is over 1,835 years old now. People also call it the “giving tree”. The tree’s fruits are very delicious and a tasty treat in many African countries. The fruits are also very healthy and people make porridge and soft drinks from the fruits. Since the tree grows in dry environments, it has to store water. The tree soaks (浸泡) in water when it is wet. During dry seasons, the baobab tree can use the stored water. Some baobabs can store thousands of gallons (加仑) of water and people can get the water from the trees when they need it. Sadly, in recent years, the baobab trees are dying because of climate change. Scientists are trying hard to take action to save them. 1．Where does the baobab tree mainly grow? 2．Can people mistake the baobab for another tree? 3．How old is the strongest tree in the world? 4．When can the baobab tree use the stored water? 5．Do you agree to call the baobab tree the “giving tree”? Why or why not? The pitcher plant (捕蝇草) is one of the most amazing plants in the world. It is a different kind of plant because it eats meat—mostly insects! This plant is not only amazing but also very clever. Its leaves are in the shape of a pitcher, a deep cup with a cover. It has a sweet smell that attracts (吸引) insects. When an insect comes close, it slips (滑) into the pitcher and falls into a special liquid (液体) inside. The plant then uses this liquid to get the food from the insect. Pitcher plants are important in their ecosystem (生态系统). They help to control the number of insects. However, in some places, they are in danger because people are taking their living places. This is the problem they are facing now. Scientists are now working to protect these interesting plants. We must understand that every plant, even the ones that seem a little strange, plays a role in nature. Learning about them helps us see how connected life really is. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．What does the pitcher plant eat? 2．How does the pitcher plant attract insects? 3．Why are pitcher plants important in their ecosystem? 4．What is the problem that pitcher plants face?

They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many young trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals. Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees. 1．How do many young trees protect themselves according to Paragraph 2? 2．When do trees begin to grow flowers and fruit? 3．What do adult trees give us? 4．What can you do to protect trees? Write 30 words or more. 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 “Do you want to grow your own vegetables?” Mom asked. “Yes!” My eyes got big. Mom smiled at my excitement. She gave me a book on gardening, and I carefully planted some seeds (种子) in the backyard. After supper, I rushed to see how much they might grow. Nothing! My mouth dropped. “Someone stole my seeds!” Mom laughed from ear to ear. She said, “Johnny, go and check the book.” I read the book and I knew something needed to be done. Early the next morning, I ran to the backyard. Everything looked the same but I wasn’t that disappointed (失望的). As the book said, I slowly watered my seeds to make sure it wasn’t too dry and apply some fertilizer (肥料). That evening, I couldn’t help going to check my garden again. No sign of anything green. Just dirt. The next morning I raced to the garden again. No changes. “Why is it taking so long for the seeds to grow?” I asked. “Grow up!” I shouted. “Please, just grow.” I almost cried. Mom was too busy with housework to help. “Read the book, and wait patiently.” So I read again. I removed (除去) the grass from the soil and watered the seeds. Then one morning, I walked out to my garden. I wasn’t expecting to see anything yet. To my surprise, a little bit of green came into my eyes. I got down on my knees for a closer look. “They grew!” I shouted. I could see little green leaves growing everywhere! I was so excited! “They finally grew! The book is right. It took several days for the seeds to be in the soil before popping up.” 1．Was Johnny excited to grow his own vegetables? 2．Where did Johnny plant the seeds? 3．What should we do to help the seeds grow according to the passage? 4．Do you think Mom teaches Johnny in a good way?

They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many young trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals. Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees. 1．How do many young trees protect themselves according to Paragraph 2? 2．When do trees begin to grow flowers and fruit? 3．What do adult trees give us? 4．What can you do to protect trees?
