Reading
In the life skills class last week, we learned about agriculture and plant biology. The teacher gave us some seeds so we could observe the growing process of a plant. I picked some pea seeds and planted them in a small pot. I watered them every day. I hope my peas grow quickly!
Here are some of my observations on the peas’ growth:
Date: March 3
Weather conditions: sunny, temperature around 18°C
Observations: The pea seeds grew into buds. They look like the English letter “Y”. My peas are growing quickly!
23021
Date: March 30
Weather conditions: cloudy, temperature around 19°C
Observations: Now, there are long, thin stems and some leaves. At the top of the stems are little flower buds! I put the pot in the yard. There, they can get some sunshine.
Date: April 3
Weather conditions: rainy, temperature around 22°C
Observations: The pea flowers are in full bloom. Some are pink and some are purple. When the pea plants grow taller, I will give them a
shelf to climb on.
I know the flowers will fade and become pea pods. Growing a plant is not easy because it takes a lot of work. Farmers grow millions of plants every year to feed us. That is an amazing thing!

1. In the life skills class last week, we learned about agriculture and plant biology.
biology 作不可数名词,意为“生物学;生理”。常见用法:
(1) biology class/lesson 生物课
(2) biology lab(laboratory) 生物实验室
相关词形:(1) biologist n. 生物学家
(2) biological adj. 生物学的;生物的
e.g. We have a biology class on Wednesday. 我们周三有生物课。
Her dream is to be a biologist and study pandas.
她的梦想是成为一名生物学家,研究熊猫。

2. Here are some of my observations on the peas’ growth:
长难句分析:这是一个“Here+be 动词+主语.”的倒装句,强调“这里有某物。”句中Here 为副词,置于句首引出倒装;are 是系动词;主语是名词短语some of my observations on the peas’ growth,其中on the peas’ growth 作定语修饰observations。
23021
3. The pea seeds grew into buds.
grow into 的多种含义:
(1) 表示“逐渐成长为;发展成”(强调从幼小/ 初级状态慢慢变成成熟/ 高级状态) 。
(2) 表示“逐渐适应;变得适合”(指对某个角色、衣服等慢慢习惯或合身) 。
grow 的相关短语:(1) grow up 长大;成熟
(2) grow in 在……中生长 (3) grow with 随……一起成长
e.g. As the tree grows into a large one, it will provide more shade for us. 当树长成大树时,它会为我们提供更多荫凉。
She needs time to grow into her new job.
她需要时间来适应她的新工作。
I grew up in a small town. 我在一个小镇上长大。
23021
4. At the top of the stems are little flower buds!
长难句分析:这是一个倒装句,正常语序为Little flower buds are at the top of the stems!。little flower buds作主语,系动词是are,At the top of the stems作状语。地点状语提前,句子要进行倒装,将are放在主语前。
23021
at the top of 意为“在……的顶端/ 顶部”,既可以指具体物体的顶部,也可以指抽象概念的“顶端、最高处”。
top 的相关短语:(1) on top of 在……上面(强调一个物体直接放在另一个物体的表面,可与at the top of 互换,但更侧重“叠加在表面”) ;除……之外;掌握
(2) from top to bottom 从头到尾;彻底地
e.g. The temple stands at the top of the hill. 寺庙坐落在山顶。
He is at the top of his class in math. 他的数学在班里名列前茅。
He put a box on top of the shelf. 他把一个盒子放在架子顶上。
She cleaned the room from top to bottom.
她把房间彻底打扫了一遍。
23021
5. I put the pot in the yard.
用法:名词,可数名词,pl. yards。
固定搭配:in the yard 在院子里 a front yard 前院 a back yard 后院
派生词:courtyard /ˈkɔːtjɑːd/n. 庭院;院子
e.g. There is a big tree in the yard.
My grandma likes sitting in the yard and drinking tea.
23021
6. Some are pink and some are purple.
purple 既可作形容词,意为“紫色的”,也可作名词,意为“紫色”。
在描述颜色时,可以使用形容词修饰purple,例如light purple 浅紫色、dark purple 深紫色等。
e.g. She wore a purple dress to the party.
她穿了一条紫色的裙子去参加派对。

23021
7. When the pea plants grow taller, I will give them a shelf to climb on.
shelf 作可数名词,意为“架子,隔板”,通常用于放置物品。变为复数形式时要改“f”为“v”加“es”,即shelves。
e.g. Dad bought a new shelf for my study.
爸爸为我的书房买了一个新架子。
The shelves in the grocery store are filled with fresh products.
杂货店的货架上摆满了新鲜的产品。
