There are 55 different clubs, such as sports and music, for them to choose from. They go to their classes every Thursday from 4:40 p.m. to 6:05 p.m. Students really like the soil and hydroponics club (水土栽培社团). In each class, students first learn how to tell plants from one another and how to plant them in the right place. Then, they have 10 minutes to look closely at real plants. At last, they can plant their plants in the school garden! They need to find the best way to plant different plants. For example, strawberries grow well in water while apples love soil (土). “It’s interesting but also difficult,” said 13-year-old Wang Yijie, “In hydroponics (水栽培), different plants need to stay in water with different pH levels (酸碱值). So, I need to make the water right for each plant by adding acid (酸) in different amounts (量). This helped me learn a lot.” 1．When do students go to club activity classes? A．Every Tuesday morning.

It is a kind of plant. It’s everywhere in Bali (巴厘岛). There are 1,450 kinds of bamboo around the world, but we only use seven kinds to make things like beds, desks and chairs. My father uses bamboo to build a school in Bali. Its name is Bamboo School. In this school, all of the rooms are made of bamboo. There are a lot of bamboo things in the classroom. Every classroom has a bamboo blackboard, some bamboo desks and bamboo chairs. But every classroom has no windows, doors or walls. It only has a bamboo roof (屋顶). In Bamboo School, students are from 40 countries. They have math, English, art and music. After class, all students grow fruit and vegetables around the school. And they also keep pigs, chickens and ducks. A lot of food comes from their hands. Come and have a look at our Bamboo School. It’s a nice school. 1．Where is Bamboo School? A．In Beijing. B．In Yunnan.

In nature, you don’t have to go far to find new and interesting things. You can find a cool thing right near your house. Li Shuhan likes to watch a special tree near her home. It’s called the Alstonia scholaris tree. “This tree has beautiful white flowers and they smell nice,” says Li. She draws pictures of the tree and shares them on social media Xiaohongshu. Her pictures become very popular (受欢迎) and bring her about 54,000 flowers. Li really enjoys looking at this tree. She watches different parts of it. The flowers are small, so she uses a magnifier to see them better. Its green leaves make a nice home for birds and bugs. Its juicy fruit makes people want to have a try. Li thinks this tree shows how great and useful the nature is. Why does Li watch trees? A French botanist (植物学家) once said: Plants show the passing of time. “It helps us get closer to nature and feel happy. Trees are alive, just like us, and they make the world a better place. Life can be busy and noisy, but watching a tree can help us feel relaxed for each day,” says Li. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)?

Golden and red leaves are always the things in autumn. But because of warming weather, a warmer autumn makes the leaves change the color later. Today, red leaves in some countries have arrived one month later than they did over 100 years ago. Some leaves even fall before turning red. We might lose this beautiful color someday in the future. How do trees turn red? In spring and summer, trees make chlorophyll (叶绿素) to grow. When it gets cold, they stop making chlorophyll. The yellow and red pigments (色素) are under chlorophyll. They show up in autumn. The red color helps the trees beat the cold by... ·making the leaves warm ·helping trees take in the last nutrients (营养物) from the leaves before they fall Late red leaves can be bad for trees. ·Trees may have a shorter life. ·Trees may not grow well next spring. ·Some weak trees may die. 1．In which season do the trees turn red? A．Spring B．Summer C．Autumn D．Winter 2．Why do the leaves turn red later? A．Because of the warming weather. B．Because of the cold weather. C．Because of the trees’ shorter life.

B．Late red leaves can make some weak trees strong. C．We might not see the yellow and red leaves in the future. D．Climate change has no effect (影响) on the time of leaf color change. Do you know bamboo (竹子)? It’s green all year round and it is everywhere in Bali. There are 1,450 kinds of bamboo around the world, but we only use seven kinds of them to make things.

Everybody loves oranges because they taste really great. The orange tree came from China. The oranges at that time were very small, not like the ones today. The Chinese planted orange trees around 4,400 years ago. Chinese art has lovely old pictures of oranges and orange trees.

When we have good news, we want to talk about it with our good friends and when something bad happens, we make it known to others soon. But do you know that some trees can also talk about news with each other? Of course, no trees move lips and say words just as people do. It may sound strange, but some trees really try to talk with each other in other ways. Willows (柳树) are the best-known of these trees. When insects begin biting a willow, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and will fly away soon. In this way, the willows protect themselves from the insects. The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are talking to each other quietly. How magical nature is! 1．What can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Few people like using the body language to talk with each other. B．Some trees can say words just as people do. C．When some bad things happen, we don’t want to tell others. D．Some trees can talk with each other in other ways. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Some trees can talk about news as people do.

A．In a storybook. B．In a science book. C．In a travel guide. D．In a sports magazine. 重难语篇提升练 In the last passage we’ve already talked about some dangerous plants, but we don’t want to give anyone the wrong idea. The truth is that some plants can hurt you, but most are completely harmless. In fact, there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans. That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4,800 years. One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng (人参). Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs (肺), clean your blood and do many other things. Ginseng also provides energy for people. In fact, many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng. In some parts of the U.S., there is a plant called lady fern (蹄盖蕨). This is the plant you need if you’ve been stung by a bee, or if you’ve got a small burn or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better. All you have to do is roll one of its leaves and make it into pieces in your hands. The juice inside the leaf will help your skin feel better. If you’re hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy (艾菊). This yellow flower is a natural insects’ enemy. You just rub it on your skin, and insects will leave you alone. Sage (鼠尾草) is one of the most useful plants in the world. Because it has so many uses, it’s also quite valuable. Human beings have been using sage for a very long time. In Europe before fridges appeared, people used sage to keep food. Over the years, people have used sage to fight all kinds of health problems. Sage has been used to treat colds, stop muscle problems and reduce swelling. In fact, sage comes from the Latin word “salvere”, which means “to be saved”. 1．How many kinds of useful plants are mentioned in the passage? A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5 2．Which of the following about ginseng is NOT TRUE? A．It can be found in many modern energy drinks. B．It’s still being used in Chinese medicine. C．It is helpful to our lungs and blood. D．It can make people feel relaxed. 3．Lady ferns can be used to treat the following EXCEPT ________. A．a bee sting B．a small burn C．a little cut D．a mild cold 4．What does the passage say about sage? A．It’s the most useful plant in the world. B．It hasn’t been used by people for long. C．It was once used to keep food in Europe. D．Its name comes from a German word. 5．What will the next paragraph most probably talk about? A．How modern medicine is better than Chinese medicine that uses plants. B．How to grow useful plants like ginseng and sage in home gardens. C．Why some dangerous plants can still be found in forests. D．More examples of plants that are useful to humans. Most people think plants are quiet, but a video from Bilibili gives us a new look at plants. It shows how plants secretly compete (竞争), help each other, and even talk in amazing ways. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants compete for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a battlefield—only 2% of the sunlight gets there. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast⁃growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine. Interestingly, plants even fight underground. Their roots compete for water and nutrients (营养素) in the soil, just like athletes racing for a prize. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water， it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to talk to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi⁃Fi works. For example, when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical “messages” through the air to warn neighbours. The warned plants then produce bitter (苦的) juices to drive the insects away. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby. The video not only teaches us about the plant world but also pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” Mr Lee, the director of the video said. “It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.” 1．What can we know about plants in the video from Bilibili? ①how they help each other　②their communication　③their self⁃protection　 ④their competition　⑤their secret of growing A．①②⑤ B．②④⑤ C．①②④ D．①④⑤ 2．What does the underlined word “overtake” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Take away. B．Fall behind. C．Look after. D．Get ahead of. 3．How does the writer develop Paragraph 3? A．By giving examples. B．By comparing facts. C．By raising questions. D．By listing numbers. 4．Mr Lee agrees that __________. A．plants are difficult to study B．wild plants need caring about C．we shouldn’t always depend on plants D．we look after houseplants too much 5．Which is the best title of the text? A．The Living Habits of Plants B．Making Better Videos on Plants C．An Amazing Plant World D．How Plants Talk with Each Other 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 The power of plants 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 5 The power of plants单元话题：植物的力量 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 This term, students at Gaoxin Junior Middle School of Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School can join their favorite club activity classes.

When we have good news, we want to talk about it with our good friends and when something bad happens, we make it known to others soon. But do you know that some trees can also talk about news with each other? Of course, no trees move lips and say words just as people do. It may sound strange, but some trees really try to talk with each other in other ways. Willows (柳树) are the best-known of these trees. When insects begin biting a willow, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and will fly away soon. In this way, the willows protect themselves from the insects. The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are talking to each other quietly. How magical nature is! 1．What can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Few people like using the body language to talk with each other. B．Some trees can say words just as people do.

The truth is that some plants can hurt you, but most are completely harmless. In fact, there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans. That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4,800 years. One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng (人参). Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs (肺), clean your blood and do many other things. Ginseng also provides energy for people. In fact, many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng. In some parts of the U.S., there is a plant called lady fern (蹄盖蕨). This is the plant you need if you’ve been stung by a bee, or if you’ve got a small burn or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better. All you have to do is roll one of its leaves and make it into pieces in your hands. The juice inside the leaf will help your skin feel better. If you’re hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy (艾菊). This yellow flower is a natural insects’ enemy. You just rub it on your skin, and insects will leave you alone. Sage (鼠尾草) is one of the most useful plants in the world. Because it has so many uses, it’s also quite valuable. Human beings have been using sage for a very long time. In Europe before fridges appeared, people used sage to keep food. Over the years, people have used sage to fight all kinds of health problems. Sage has been used to treat colds, stop muscle problems and reduce swelling. In fact, sage comes from the Latin word “salvere”, which means “to be saved”. 1．How many kinds of useful plants are mentioned in the passage? A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5 2．Which of the following about ginseng is NOT TRUE? A．It can be found in many modern energy drinks. B．It’s still being used in Chinese medicine. C．It is helpful to our lungs and blood. D．It can make people feel relaxed. 3．Lady ferns can be used to treat the following EXCEPT ________. A．a bee sting B．a small burn C．a little cut D．a mild cold 4．What does the passage say about sage? A．It’s the most useful plant in the world. B．It hasn’t been used by people for long. C．It was once used to keep food in Europe. D．Its name comes from a German word. 5．What will the next paragraph most probably talk about? A．How modern medicine is better than Chinese medicine that uses plants. B．How to grow useful plants like ginseng and sage in home gardens. C．Why some dangerous plants can still be found in forests. D．More examples of plants that are useful to humans. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四种对人类非常有用的植物，包括它们在医学、日常护理和食品保存等方面的应用。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng (人参).”、第三段中“In some parts of the U.S., there is a plant called lady fern (蹄盖蕨).”、第四段中“If you’re hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy (艾菊).”和第五段中“Sage (鼠尾草) is one of the most useful plants in the world.”可知，文章中提到了人参、蹄盖蕨、艾菊和鼠尾草四种有用的植物。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng (人参). Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs (肺), clean your blood and do many other things. Ginseng also provides energy for people. In fact, many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng.”可知，人参在中医中仍然被使用，它对肺和血液有帮助，许多现代能量饮料中都含有人参，但文章并未提到人参能让人感到放松。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is the plant you need if you’ve been stung by a bee, or if you’ve got a small burn or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better.”可知，蹄盖蕨可以用来治疗蜜蜂蜇伤、轻微烧伤和割伤，但文章并未提到它可以治疗轻微的感冒。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段中“In Europe before fridges appeared, people used sage to keep food.”可知，在欧洲冰箱出现之前，人们曾用鼠尾草来保存食物。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“In fact, there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans.”以及后文介绍了四种对人类有用的植物可知，文章主要介绍了对人类有用的植物，因此接下来最有可能继续介绍更多对人类有用的植物的例子。故选D。 Most people think plants are quiet, but a video from Bilibili gives us a new look at plants. It shows how plants secretly compete (竞争), help each other, and even talk in amazing ways. Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants compete for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a battlefield—only 2% of the sunlight gets there. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast⁃growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine. Interestingly, plants even fight underground. Their roots compete for water and nutrients (营养素) in the soil, just like athletes racing for a prize. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water， it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to talk to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi⁃Fi works. For example, when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical “messages” through the air to warn neighbours. The warned plants then produce bitter (苦的) juices to drive the insects away. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby. The video not only teaches us about the plant world but also pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” Mr Lee, the director of the video said. “It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.” 1．What can we know about plants in the video from Bilibili? ①how they help each other　②their communication　③their self⁃protection　 ④their competition　⑤their secret of growing A．①②⑤ B．②④⑤ C．①②④ D．①④⑤ 2．What does the underlined word “overtake” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Take away. B．Fall behind. C．Look after. D．Get ahead of. 3．How does the writer develop Paragraph 3? A．By giving examples. B．By comparing facts. C．By raising questions. D．By listing numbers. 4．Mr Lee agrees that __________. A．plants are difficult to study B．wild plants need caring about C．we shouldn’t always depend on plants D．we look after houseplants too much 5．Which is the best title of the text? A．The Living Habits of Plants B．Making Better Videos on Plants C．An Amazing Plant World D．How Plants Talk with Each Other 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要基于B站视频内容，介绍了植物之间竞争、互助和交流的神奇现象，并呼吁人们重视和保护野生植物。 1．细节理解题。根据“It shows how plants secretly compete, help each other, and even talk in amazing ways.”可知，视频内容明确提到了它们如何互相帮助、它们的交流、它们的竞争。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But others may catch up with them. Finally, other fast-growing plants overtake them to receive more sunshine.” (一些植物伸展宽大的叶片以获取阳光，但其他植物可能会追上它们。最终，其他快速生长的植物会超越它们，获得更多阳光) 结合语境，overtake应表示“超过、超越”，与“Get ahead of”意思一致。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others.”和“…when insects attack corn plants, they send chemical ‘messages’ through the air to warn neighbours.”以及“If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell the plants nearby.”可知，第三段主要通过列举具体事例来展开说明。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Mr Lee的话“It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.”可推知，他认为野生植物需要被关心和保护。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕植物的竞争、互助和交流等神奇现象展开，揭示了植物世界不为人知的动态。标题“An  Amazing Plant World” (一个神奇的植物世界) 能全面概括文章主题。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
