Plants is on Earth for millions of years and there are over 300,000 kinds of plants. Grasses and trees are common plants. Plants use photosynthesis to make their own food, and that means they use sunlight to help them produce food (sugar) and oxygen. This process (过程) never ends, so there is always food and oxygen. Plants produce most of the world’s oxygen. They are important because many animals eat plants or other animals which eat plants. Why are plants so important? Almost all living things need plants to live. Animals can’t get their food from the sunlight like plants, so they need plants (or other animals which eat plants) to get the sugar to live. They also need oxygen to breathe. Plants have something in common. First, plants make their food through photosynthesis and they don’t move from place to place. Second, plants have chlorophyll (叶绿素), and it makes leaves green and is also important to photosynthesis. Light, temperature and water can influence plant growth. It’s important to know how they influence plant growth. 26．Why does the writer write Paragraph 1? A．To enjoy different plants. B．To show the history of plants. C．To introduce some kinds of plants.

Plants is on Earth for millions of years and there are over 300,000 kinds of plants. Grasses and trees are common plants.”可知第一段介绍动植物广泛存在，引出下文对植物这个主题的介绍。故选D。 27．细节理解题。根据“Plants use photosynthesis to make their own food, and that means they use sunlight to help them produce food (sugar) and oxygen.”可知植物使用阳光来帮助它们产生食物 (糖分) 和氧气。图片中A选项符合。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据“ so they need plants (or other animals which eat plants) to get the sugar to live. They also need oxygen to breathe.”可知动物需要植物来获取糖分，然后需要氧气来呼吸。故选C。 29．主旨大意题。第一句是本段主旨句，根据“Plants have something in common.”可知本段介绍植物的相似之处。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据“Light, temperature and water can influence plant growth. It’s important to know how they influence plant growth.”可知最后一段指出光照、温度和水分对植物生长的影响，所以之后作者会讨论环境因素对植物的影响。故选D。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五位学生对动植物的需求，右栏是七条关于展览或博物馆的信息， 请为每位学生推荐一个最适合他们的地方。选项中有两项为多余选项。 31.

How do they sleep and drink? You may think it’s very difficult for them to sleep. Adult Giraffes can grow up to 18 feet. Giraffes living in the wild (野生的) sleep for half an hour a day. When they sleep, they hardly ever lie down and sleep for minutes at a time, since it’s difficult for them to get up again and it’s dangerous in the wild. But the giraffes in the zoo sleep around 4.6 hours per day. They usually sleep lying down. Drinking water may cause problems for giraffes because their necks are too long to reach the ground. To drink water, they must spread their legs in an uncomfortable position. As a result, they get most of their water from the leaves they eat. They only need to drink water every a few days. The number of the giraffes is getting fewer and fewer. Here are the ways to protect them. Firstly, we should let more people know that giraffes are in danger. Secondly, we should stop people cutting down the trees, then they can have more food to eat. Finally, we should set up more nature parks to help them live in peace. In a word, all of us should take action to protect giraffes. 61．What are the tallest mammals on the Earth? _____________________________________________________ 62．How long do giraffes living in the wild sleep every day? ____________________________________________________ 63．Why may drinking water cause problems for Giraffes? ____________________________________________________ 64．Where do giraffes get most of their water? ____________________________________________________ 65．How many ways are mentioned to protect giraffes? ____________________________________________________ B．书面表达（共15分） 66．鲸鱼是海洋中最大的动物，它们主要以小鱼和其它海洋生物为生，它们能够高高地跃出水面，还能唱歌，是人类的好朋友，但目前面临着濒临灭绝的危险。请以“Let’s Save Whales”为题，写一篇不少于80词的短文。内容包括： 1．鲸鱼的基本情况（包括生存环境、食物、能力……）： 2．导致鲸鱼濒临灭绝的原因： 3．呼吁大家采取措施来保护鲸鱼（至少2条措施）； （1）可在内容提示的基础上适当拓展信息。 （2）不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名、地名和考生的真实姓名。 （3）作文的标题和开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Let’s Save Whales Whales are huge animals in the sea and some of them have teeth.________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】61．Giraffes. 62．Half an hour. 63．Because their necks are too long to reach the ground. 64．From the leaves they eat. 65．Three. 66．例文 Let’s Save Whales Whales are huge animals in the sea and some of them have teeth. They live in the sea and eat small fish. They can sing songs and jump high out of the water. Some kinds of whales are in great danger because humans catch them for meat, fat and oil and use whale parts to make things like candles and soap. We should protect whales from water pollution. We can protect whales in many ways. People should stop putting rubbish into the sea and killing whales. We also need to learn more about whales and make rules on whale protection. In a word, let’s work together to save whales! 【导语】本文介绍了长颈鹿的生活习性，以及我们应该如何保护它们。 61．根据“Giraffes are the tallest mammals (哺乳动物) on the earth.”可知，长颈鹿是地球上最高的哺乳动物。故填Giraffes. 62．根据“Giraffes living in the wild (野生的) sleep for half an hour a day.”可知，生活在野外的长颈鹿每天睡半小时。故填Half an hour. 63．根据“Drinking water may cause problems for giraffes because their necks are too long to reach the ground.”可知，喝水可能会给长颈鹿带来麻烦，因为它们的脖子太长，够不着地面。故填Because their necks are too long to reach the ground. 64．根据“As a result, they get most of their water from the leaves they eat.”可知，它们从它们吃的叶子中获取大部分水分。故填From the leaves they eat. 65．根据“Firstly, ...

We know four plants as the “four junzi” in Chinese culture. We can find them in Chinese art like paintings and poems. The plum blossoms (梅花) are famous for coming out in the dead of winter. People like them because they stay strong even in difficult times. Artists started to paint plum blossoms 1,600 years ago. The orchid (兰花) grows in mountains. People name it one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. It is a symbol of elegance (优雅) because it looks nice and soft in the wind. The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness (豁达). Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo. Chinese people began growing chrysanthemums (菊花) more than 3,000 years ago. It stands for the strength to get over life’s challenges. So people in China like chrysanthemums very much. 21．Why do people like the plum blossoms? A．Because they have beautiful shapes. B．Because they stand for elegance. C．Because they get over life’s challenges. D．Because they stay strong in difficult times. 22．Which of the following is TRUE about the orchid? A．It grows in deserts. B．It is a symbol of strength.

Grasses and trees are common plants. Plants use photosynthesis to make their own food, and that means they use sunlight to help them produce food (sugar) and oxygen. This process (过程) never ends, so there is always food and oxygen. Plants produce most of the world’s oxygen. They are important because many animals eat plants or other animals which eat plants. Why are plants so important? Almost all living things need plants to live. Animals can’t get their food from the sunlight like plants, so they need plants (or other animals which eat plants) to get the sugar to live. They also need oxygen to breathe. Plants have something in common. First, plants make their food through photosynthesis and they don’t move from place to place. Second, plants have chlorophyll (叶绿素), and it makes leaves green and is also important to photosynthesis. Light, temperature and water can influence plant growth. It’s important to know how they influence plant growth. 26．Why does the writer write Paragraph 1? A．To enjoy different plants. B．To show the history of plants. C．To introduce some kinds of plants.

How do they sleep and drink? You may think it’s very difficult for them to sleep. Adult Giraffes can grow up to 18 feet. Giraffes living in the wild (野生的) sleep for half an hour a day. When they sleep, they hardly ever lie down and sleep for minutes at a time, since it’s difficult for them to get up again and it’s dangerous in the wild. But the giraffes in the zoo sleep around 4.6 hours per day. They usually sleep lying down. Drinking water may cause problems for giraffes because their necks are too long to reach the ground. To drink water, they must spread their legs in an uncomfortable position. As a result, they get most of their water from the leaves they eat. They only need to drink water every a few days. The number of the giraffes is getting fewer and fewer. Here are the ways to protect them. Firstly, we should let more people know that giraffes are in danger. Secondly, we should stop people cutting down the trees, then they can have more food to eat. Finally, we should set up more nature parks to help them live in peace. In a word, all of us should take action to protect giraffes. 61．What are the tallest mammals on the Earth? _____________________________________________________ 62．How long do giraffes living in the wild sleep every day? ____________________________________________________ 63．Why may drinking water cause problems for Giraffes? ____________________________________________________ 64．Where do giraffes get most of their water? ____________________________________________________ 65．How many ways are mentioned to protect giraffes? ____________________________________________________ B．书面表达（共15分） 66．鲸鱼是海洋中最大的动物，它们主要以小鱼和其它海洋生物为生，它们能够高高地跃出水面，还能唱歌，是人类的好朋友，但目前面临着濒临灭绝的危险。请以“Let’s Save Whales”为题，写一篇不少于80词的短文。内容包括： 1．鲸鱼的基本情况（包括生存环境、食物、能力……）： 2．导致鲸鱼濒临灭绝的原因： 3．呼吁大家采取措施来保护鲸鱼（至少2条措施）； （1）可在内容提示的基础上适当拓展信息。 （2）不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名、地名和考生的真实姓名。 （3）作文的标题和开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Let’s Save Whales Whales are huge animals in the sea and some of them have teeth.________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
