Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food chain. They really matter to nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing. What is a plant? Most people have no difficulty finding the differences between an animal and a plant. That is because animals can move around, but plants can’t. What makes a plant a plant? Like animals, plants are living things that are made up of lots of cells (细胞). Unlike animals, plants make their own food by photosynthesis (光合作用). Most plants have roots, stems and leaves, and most plants reproduce* by growing flowers and making seeds. All plants need energy to stay alive and grow, and they get it from sunlight instead of food. How does a plant grow? Most animals grow in a certain way, and genes (基因) control their growth. That is to say, even when they are small, it’s easy to know what they will look like after they grow up. Plants are different. Their growth is controlled by genes too, but their final shape also depends on where they live. For example, a tree can be big and round if it grows in an open space, but much thinner and taller if it grows in the woods with other trees all around. Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they can get used to the environment. (*copy or have babies) 26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. The importance of plants. B. Different sizes of plants. C. The number of plants. D. Parts of plants. 27. What method does the author use to describe the plants in Paragraph 2? A. By comparing things. B. By giving examples. C. By giving numbers. D. By telling stories. 28. What can we know about plants from the passage? A. All plants reproduce through flowers and seeds. B. Plants and animals grow in the same way. C. Only the environment controls the plants’ growth. D. It’s important for the plants to get used to the environment. 29. What does the underlined word “oxygen” mean in Paragraph 1? A. 二氧化碳 B. 氧气 C. 煤气 D. 废气 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to protect plants. B. To tell interesting facts about plants. C. To tell plants are more important than animals. D. To encourage us to plant more trees. 第二节：（共5小题，计5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Friendship has no borders (国界).

VIII.任务型阅读（共5小题，计10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 In ancient China, there lived a famous musician named Yu Boya, a true master of the guqin, a musical instrument. Though his music was beautiful enough to paint pictures in the minds of his listeners, he believed no one truly understood the feelings in his heart that he expressed through his music. One day, while playing his guqin by a river beside a high mountain, Boya lost himself in thinking of high mountains. A woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi passed by and stopped to listen. Suddenly, Ziqi cried excitedly, “How amazing! I can see a great mountain reaching for the sky!” Amazed, Boya played another piece, this time imagining flowing (流动的) water. Ziqi listened carefully and said, “How huge and powerful! It sounds like flowing water before me.” Boya was so excited. Finally, he found a zhiyin—a close friend who best understood his music. They promised to meet again at the same place the next year. When Boya returned the next year, he learned that Ziqi died. Boya felt that there was no one who could understand his music in the world. In his deep sadness, he broke his favorite guqin on a rock and decided never to play again. We have heard of the story between Boya and Ziqi for over two thousand years. In China, the phrase “High Mountains and Flowing Water” does not only describe nature, it also means the beauty of music, most importantly, the meaning of a true friendship. 56.
