We share our world with trees. They are our silent friends, but we often overlook them. In fact, trees are very important for all living things on Earth. To begin with, forests are a safe place for animals, insects and plants to live. Trees are also good for us humans because they take in greenhouse gases like CO₂ and produce oxygen. This means they help create a clean environment for everyone on this planet. Trees make our lives more convenient. Many of the things around us, such as paper and pencils, come from trees. Just look around your room—a lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees also provide us with delicious fruit and wonderful drinks. For example, we can make tea from the leaves of the tea tree. Trees do so much for us. We can’t imagine a world without them. However, humans are not treating trees in a kind way. We are cutting down forests all around the world. We are polluting the water and the air, and this harms trees. All these things are a big problem. We need to do more to protect trees and save our planet. 1．What do trees produce that is important for humans? A．CO₂. B．Oxygen. C．Greenhouse gases. D．Pollution. 2．Which of the following is NOT a product from trees? A．Paper. B．Furniture. C．Tea. D．Plastic. 3．What is the main problem humans are causing to trees? A．Planting too many trees.

Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. Between 1 and 3 years old, ▲ . For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to keep the animals away. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree not only gives us shade (阴凉), oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty, but also provides a great place for us to rest, read books or listen to music. After that, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When part of a tree becomes dead, it provides a home for small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is just like everyone’s own life. Each period of life brings its own joy and challenge.

We are talking about two kinds of indoor plants: rosemary (迷迭香) and bay laurel (月桂). Both plants have good smell and it’s easy for you to plant them inside your home. You just put them near a window in the cold weather. As long as the temperature (温度) is warm in your house and you keep watering them, they will grow well. Both rosemary and bay laurel come from the warm places of the world. The area is cool but not cold during winter because it gets lots of sunlight For rosemary, water level is very important. You can’t water it too much. The plant needs a little wet soil (土壤). But too much water will injure the plant. It will grow slowly or even die. You can plant rosemary in the soil with some sand. The sand doesn’t keep much water, so this kind of soil will be the best place for rosemary to grow. If you want to grow bay laurel inside, you can cut unwanted branches (枝杈) from the plant as it grows and make it look like a small tree. The plant will not die if you do this. Bay laurel has dark green leaves. it produces a nice smell when you cut its leaves. When you add them to the soup, it will taste better.

Chocolate comes from the beans in large pods (豆荚) on cacao trees. 2 Some of the flowers turn into pods, but some do not. It takes four to five years for a cacao tree to get pods. Picking the pods from cacao trees is the first thing to do for the workers in making chocolate. 3 Each pod has 20~50 beans. But these beans are still very different from the chocolate we know. They need fermenting (发酵) in large boxes. After that, the workers need to dry them and put them in large bags. 4 It takes the makers a lot of time to turn the beans into chocolate. 5 They’re chocolate candies (糖果), ice cream, drinks, and cakes.

Trees can sense directions with their roots. They can feel “up” and “down” underground. There is no light in the soil, but roots always grow in the right way. Trees can feel different temperatures. They know when to drop their leaves in autumn and grow new leaves in spring. When animals eat a tree’s leaves, the tree can protect itself. It can make its leaves taste bad so that fewer animals will eat them. Tree roots can also sense sounds. They like the sound of running water very much. When it is dry, roots will grow towards the water. Trees can sense light and colours. They know where the sun is, so their branches grow towards it. Scientists are still learning more about the amazing senses of trees. 1．Why did Lu Yu write Cha Jing? 2．What did scientists not know about trees in the past? 3．How do tree roots know which way to grow underground? 4．How do trees know when to drop their leaves and grow new ones? 5．What will a tree do if a deer starts eating its leaves?

One of them was a big Chinese Banyan (榕树). It was very high. When he was a small boy, he often played games and listened to the stories under it. He liked trees very much and then he wanted to plant more trees. When he was seventeen years old, he planted a tree, and now it is still alive and it is over one hundred years old. Thanks to Sun Zhongshan, lots of people planted many trees in China. In 1979, Tree Planting Day was fixed (固定) on March 12 to remember him. Today, there are lots of trees in China. They make our country green and beautiful. Green water and green mountains are golden hills and silver mountains. Do you like trees?

Many years ago, people also 5 (make) bamboo into boats to get across rivers and lakes or go 6 (fish). Today, in some places, it’s still easy for 7 (we) to take a ride on a bamboo boat. 8 Chinese people didn’t have paper to use, they used bamboo as “paper” to write on. What’s more, Chinese people have used this plant to make food, play music and so on. Bamboo also has a special place in Chinese culture. Chinese people believe that bamboo is a symbol of good qualities (品质). It grows straight 9 tall. Its green color is a good example of beauty. So, Chinese people love bamboo very much. To them, bamboo is 10 (important) to Chinese people than many other plants. 【答案】 1．a 2．in 3．houses 4．easily 5．made 6．fishing 7．us 8．When 9．and 10．more important 【导语】本文介绍中国的竹子——包括其种植地位、历史、多方面用途以及在中国文化中的特殊意义。 1．句意：竹子在中国有着非常悠久的历史。根据“very long history”可知，“history”是可数名词，此处表示“一段很长的历史”，需用不定冠词修饰；“very”以辅音音素开头，用“a”。故填a。 2．句意：中国人以多种方式使用竹子。根据“many ways”可知，“in many ways”是固定短语，意为“用许多种方式”，表示使用竹子的广泛途径。故填in。 3．句意：例如，人们用它来建造房屋、桥梁等等。空格前无不定冠词“a”，且“build”后接可数名词复数时，表泛指“房屋”这类事物，而非某一栋具体的房子，故“house”变复数“houses”。故填houses。 4．句意：即使在今天，我们也能轻易在身边找到一些这样的建筑。由于“find”是动词，需用副词修饰；“easy”是形容词，其副词形式为“easily”，表示“容易地”。故填easily。 5．句意：许多年前，人们还将竹子制成船只，用来渡河过湖或捕鱼。由“Many years ago”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词“make”需用过去式“made”。故填made。 6．句意：许多年前，人们还将竹子制成船只，用来渡河过湖或捕鱼。由“go”可知，“go + 动词-ing形式”表示“从事某项活动”，“go fishing”是固定搭配，意为“去钓鱼”。故填fishing。 7．句意：如今，在一些地方，我们仍然可以轻松乘坐竹船。由于“for”是介词，介词后需接人称代词的宾格作宾语；“we”是主格，其宾格形式为“us”。故填us。 8．句意：在中国人还没有纸张使用的时候，他们用竹子作为“纸”来书写。前后两句存在逻辑关系：“Chinese people didn’t have paper to use”是“they used bamboo as “paper” to write on”的时间背景，需用连词引导时间状语从句。“When”表示“当……的时候”，强调动作同时发生或先后衔接。故填When。 9．句意：它笔直生长，高大挺拔。由于“straight”和“tall”是并列关系的形容词，均用于描述竹子的长势，需用并列连词“and”连接，表示“既……又……”。故填and。 10．句意：对他们来说，竹子比许多其他植物对中国人更重要。由于“than”是比较级的标志，此空用比较级，“important”是多音节形容词，其比较级形式为“more important”，表示“比许多其他植物更重要”。故填more important。 二、完形填空 Plants on earth are important to us because they give us food, wood and oxygen.

We share our world with trees. They are our silent friends, but we often overlook them. In fact, trees are very important for all living things on Earth. To begin with, forests are a safe place for animals, insects and plants to live. Trees are also good for us humans because they take in greenhouse gases like CO₂ and produce oxygen. This means they help create a clean environment for everyone on this planet. Trees make our lives more convenient. Many of the things around us, such as paper and pencils, come from trees. Just look around your room—a lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees also provide us with delicious fruit and wonderful drinks. For example, we can make tea from the leaves of the tea tree. Trees do so much for us. We can’t imagine a world without them. However, humans are not treating trees in a kind way. We are cutting down forests all around the world. We are polluting the water and the air, and this harms trees. All these things are a big problem. We need to do more to protect trees and save our planet. 1．What do trees produce that is important for humans? A．CO₂. B．Oxygen. C．Greenhouse gases. D．Pollution. 2．Which of the following is NOT a product from trees? A．Paper. B．Furniture. C．Tea. D．Plastic. 3．What is the main problem humans are causing to trees? A．Planting too many trees. B．Cutting down forests and polluting the environment. C．Using too much oxygen. D．Building too many cities. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Trees are important and we need to protect them. B．How to make furniture from wood. C．The history of forests on Earth. D．Why cities are better than forests. 5．What does the underlined word “overlook” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Look carefully at. B．Fail to notice. C．Take care of. D．Talk about. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了树木对地球生物的重要性、树木为人类提供的资源以及当前人类对树木造成的破坏，呼吁人们保护树木。 1．第二段提到“Trees are also good for us humans because they take in greenhouse gases like CO₂ and produce oxygen. This means they help create a clean environment for everyone on this planet”，说明树产生对人类重要的氧气。 2．第三段提到“Many of the things around us, such as paper and pencils, come from trees...For example, we can make tea from the leaves of the tea tree”，说明纸、家具、茶都来自树，而塑料不是来自树。 3．第四段提到“However, humans are not treating trees in a kind way...We are polluting the water and the air, and this harms trees”，说明人类对树造成的主要问题是砍伐森林和污染环境。 4．文章先讲树对生物的重要性，接着讲树给人类生活带来的便利，然后讲人类对树的伤害，最后呼吁保护树，整体主旨是树很重要且我们需要保护它们。 5．第一段提到“They are our silent friends, but we often overlook them”，树是无声朋友但常被我们“overlook”，结合语境可知是“忽视，没注意到”的意思，即“Fail to notice”。 Trees do much for human beings, plants and animals. They provide a lot of wood for buildings and things for making paper. They provide homes for all kinds of insects, birds and other animals. They also keep the air clean. Trees are so important to us. But do you know how a tree grows up? Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. Between 1 and 3 years old, ▲ . For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to keep the animals away. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree not only gives us shade (阴凉), oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty, but also provides a great place for us to rest, read books or listen to music. After that, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When part of a tree becomes dead, it provides a home for small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is just like everyone’s own life. Each period of life brings its own joy and challenge. Let’s enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them. 1．Which of the following sentences can be best put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．young trees grow very fast B．young trees get stronger and stronger C．young trees begin to produce oxygen D．young trees learn how to protect themselves 2．How long does it take a tree to become a young adult? A．1 year. B．3 years. C．15 years. D．20 years. 3．Why is a tree still important after part of it becomes dead? A．It helps people to rest a lot. B．It will still keep the air clean. C．It can give animals the food. D．It provides homes for small animals. 4．What does the writer advise people to do in the last paragraph? A．To look after trees. B．To plant more trees. C．To live a very hard life. D．To enjoy every minute of life. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了树木对人类、植物和动物的重要性，以及树木的生长过程。 1．推理判断题。根据“For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to keep the animals away.”可推知空格处表达的是小树学会了如何保护自己，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“At the age of 15, trees become young adults.”可知，一棵树需要15年才能长成年轻的成年树，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“When part of a tree becomes dead, it provides a home for small animals.”可知，树枯死后对自然界的动物仍然很重要，是因为它提供了一个家，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Let’s enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them.”可知，作者呼吁让我们享受树木生命的每一分钟的同时，要好好照顾它们，故选A。 Do you want to grow plants in your home during the cold weather? If so, you may want to use some plants to make your home smell nice. We are talking about two kinds of indoor plants: rosemary (迷迭香) and bay laurel (月桂). Both plants have good smell and it’s easy for you to plant them inside your home. You just put them near a window in the cold weather. As long as the temperature (温度) is warm in your house and you keep watering them, they will grow well. Both rosemary and bay laurel come from the warm places of the world. The area is cool but not cold during winter because it gets lots of sunlight For rosemary, water level is very important. You can’t water it too much. The plant needs a little wet soil (土壤). But too much water will injure the plant. It will grow slowly or even die. You can plant rosemary in the soil with some sand. The sand doesn’t keep much water, so this kind of soil will be the best place for rosemary to grow. If you want to grow bay laurel inside, you can cut unwanted branches (枝杈) from the plant as it grows and make it look like a small tree. The plant will not die if you do this. Bay laurel has dark green leaves. it produces a nice smell when you cut its leaves. When you add them to the soup, it will taste better. Remember to wash the leaves before you put them into your dishes. So bay laurel is not only a plant, but also a kind of food. 1．Rosemary and bay laurel can_________. A．grow without water B．make your house warm C．live in the soil with ice D．make your room smell nice 2．What does the underlined (划线的) word “injure” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Keep. B．Help. C．Hurt. D．Hit 3．What can you do to help bay laurel grow better like a small tree? A．Move it to a warm room. B．Give it a lot of water every day. C．Plant it in sand without soil.

Then read on, please. Chocolate comes from the beans in large pods (豆荚) on cacao trees. 2 Some of the flowers turn into pods, but some do not. It takes four to five years for a cacao tree to get pods. Picking the pods from cacao trees is the first thing to do for the workers in making chocolate. 3 Each pod has 20~50 beans. But these beans are still very different from the chocolate we know. They need fermenting (发酵) in large boxes. After that, the workers need to dry them and put them in large bags. 4 It takes the makers a lot of time to turn the beans into chocolate. 5 They’re chocolate candies (糖果), ice cream, drinks, and cakes. Each year, people around the world eat lots of chocolate. Now it is one of the world’s most popular foods. A．But where does chocolate come from? B．Chocolate with sugar and milk tastes so sweet. C．Then they cut open these pods to get the beans. D．Next, they sell them to the makers of chocolate. E．The trees have lots of small white or yellow flowers.

Then read on, please.”可知，此处是提出一个问题引发读者兴趣，让读者继续阅读。选项A“但是巧克力是从哪里来的呢？”符合语境，引出了后文关于巧克力来源的介绍，故选A。 2．根据“Chocolate comes from the beans in large pods (豆荚) on cacao trees.”以及“Some of the flowers turn into pods, but some do not.”可知，这里围绕可可树展开，提到了花会变成豆荚，所以此处应是说可可树有很多花。选项E“这些树有很多白色或黄色的小花。”符合语境，承上启下，故选E。 3．根据“Picking the pods from cacao trees is the first thing to do for the workers in making chocolate.” 以及 “Each pod has 20~50 beans.”可知，前面说采摘豆荚是制作巧克力的第一步，后面提到每个豆荚里有豆子，所以这里应该是说采摘后要把豆荚切开取豆子。选项C“然后他们把这些豆荚切开取出豆子。”符合语境，逻辑连贯，故选C。 4．根据“After that, the workers need to dry them and put them in large bags.” 以及 “It takes the makers a lot of time to turn the beans into chocolate.”可知，前面说工人对豆子进行处理，后面说制作巧克力的人将豆子变成巧克力，所以这里应该是说工人把处理好的豆子卖给巧克力制造商。选项D“接下来，他们把它们卖给巧克力制造商。”符合语境，衔接自然，故选D。 5．根据“They’re chocolate candies (糖果), ice cream, drinks, and cakes.”可知，这里列举了很多巧克力制品，所以前面应该是说现在有很多由巧克力制成的食品。选项F“现在有很多种由巧克力制成的食品。”符合语境，引出后文列举的巧克力制品，故选F。 五、任务型阅读 For a long time, scientists did not know that trees could sense things. Now they are discovering many surprising facts. Trees can sense directions with their roots. They can feel “up” and “down” underground. There is no light in the soil, but roots always grow in the right way. Trees can feel different temperatures. They know when to drop their leaves in autumn and grow new leaves in spring. When animals eat a tree’s leaves, the tree can protect itself. It can make its leaves taste bad so that fewer animals will eat them. Tree roots can also sense sounds. They like the sound of running water very much. When it is dry, roots will grow towards the water. Trees can sense light and colours. They know where the sun is, so their branches grow towards it. Scientists are still learning more about the amazing senses of trees. 1．Why did Lu Yu write Cha Jing? 2．What did scientists not know about trees in the past? 3．How do tree roots know which way to grow underground? 4．How do trees know when to drop their leaves and grow new ones? 5．What will a tree do if a deer starts eating its leaves? 【答案】1．He wanted to share his knowledge with others. 2．They did not know trees could sense things. 3．They can feel up and down underground. 4．They can sense different temperatures. 5．It can protect itself and make leaves taste bad. 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家发现树木有多种惊人感知能力，如感知方向、自我保护等，且仍在深入研究。 1．根据常识可知，陆羽写《茶经》的目的是想要和他人分享他的知识。 2．根据“For a long time, scientists did not know that trees could sense things.”可知，过去科学家不知道树木能感知事物。 3．根据“Trees can sense directions with their roots. They can feel “up” and “down” underground.”可知，树根通过感受地下的“上”和“下”来知道在地下的生长方向。 4．根据“Trees can feel different temperatures. They know when to drop their leaves in autumn and grow new leaves in spring.”可知，树木通过感受不同的温度来知道何时落叶和长出新叶。 5．根据“When animals eat a tree’s leaves, the tree can protect itself. It can make its leaves taste bad so that fewer animals will eat them.”可知，当动物开始吃树叶时，树会让树叶变得难吃，这样就会有更少的动物吃它们。 When is Tree Planting Day (植树节)? And why do we have the day? Now let me tell you.
