二、阅读理解。
A
Why do the leaves on trees have different colours? What makes them change colours? Leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals.
Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it's work, work, work! The Sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colours inside them. During summer, those colours are covered by the green colour.
Many places get colder in fall with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical. The hidden orange, yellow, and brown colours grow when that happens.
Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights.
Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The Sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. The cycle begins again.
(D)1.What is photosynthesis according to the passage?
A.It is a way of growing leaves.
B.It is a way of changing colours.
C.It is a way for animals to eat plants.
D.It is a way to make food for plants.
(B)2.Why are leaves green in summer?
A.Because trees are making food for leaves.
B.Because they are busy making food for trees.
C.Because there is no other colour inside leaves in summer.
D.Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees.
(D)3.What stops leaves from making the green chemical in fall?
A.Less air. B.Less time.
C.Less water. D.Less sunlight.
(C)4.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The colours. B.The leaves.
C.The trees. D.The animals.
(A)5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Colours of the Tree Leaves
B.The Trees in Different Seasons
C.The Importance of the Sunlight
D.The Changes of the Four Seasons
B
In many places on the Earth, the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons.
Spring starts when the day and night are of the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.
Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere (北半球), this is on 21 June, 22 June or 23 June. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows on trees. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are of the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change colour and fall from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is on 21 December, 22 December or 23 December. The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like snakes and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.
Fun facts:
●When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere (南半球).
●At the North and South Poles (南北两极), there are only two seasons.
●In tropical (热带的) places near the Earth's equator, there are two seasons: a “wet” season and a “dry” season.
(D)1.If June 21 is the longest day of the year in Sandy's hometown, where is Sandy from?
A.Melbourne. B.Sydney. C.Auckland. D.Beijing.
