C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物世界的特点和生长方式。地球上有超过40万种植物，有些植物高大如建筑物，有些小如米粒。植物是食物链中的关键部分，通过光合作用释放氧气，对自然界起着重要作用。植物是由许多细胞组成的生物，通过光合作用自己制造食物。它们的生长受基因控制，但最终形态也受生长环境影响。植物无法移动到不同的环境，因此适应环境对它们非常重要。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the nature because they give out oxygen—the gas that all animals need for breathing.”可知，第一段提到的了植物的数量，大小不同的植物，以及植物的重要性，没有提到植物的一部分。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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).”可知，第二段是通过与动物对比来描述植物的。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Plants are unable to move from one environment to another, so it is important that they are able to get used to the environment.”可知，植物适应环境是很重要的。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了植物世界的特点和生长方式，因此可在百科全书中读到该文章。故选C。 第二节： 【31~35题答案】 【答案】31.

He was born in Salzburg (萨尔斯堡), Austria, on 27th January 1756. He was the son of a musician and he had one sister, four years older than himself. Mozart and his sister were both very musical. Mozart began to play the piano when he was three. He liked music very much and his father never had to tell him to practise. He wrote his first piece of music at the age of five. Later, he and his sister travelled all over Europe with their father. They played music for kings and queens and other important people. Mozart became ill while he was in Prague (布拉格) in 1791. He died on 5th December 1791. He was only 35. Although he died young, Mozart left more than 600 musical works to the world. He was still composing shortly before he died. 21. What did Mozart’s father do? A. An inventor. B. An engineer. C. A scientist. D. A musician. 22. What made Mozart pass away young? A. Cold. B. Illness. C. Hunger. D. War. 23. Where can you possibly read the text above? A. Encyclopaedia of Science. B. Encyclopaedia of Music. C. Encyclopaedia of History. D. Encyclopaedia of Nature. B How much do you know about birds? Here are some interesting facts. How do birds fly? Birds have one feature that tells them from all other animals: feathers (羽毛). These strong feathers, together with their light bodies, allow birds to fly with amazing skills and speed. Their special wings can be used in many different ways to control height and direction. Some birds fly high, while others stay low to the ground. Why do birds fly south for the winter? Birds move from one place to another for some reasons. Some areas in the world are only comfortable during the warmer months of the year. So when cold weather comes, birds fly to warmer areas. These trips can be as long as thousands of miles. In this way, they can find lots of food. How do birds build nests? Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting things, while others are good at building. Once they started, everybody followed, and now they have a tradition. Younger birds watch and try to copy the older ones. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests. 24. What feature tells birds from all other animals? A. Light bodies. B. Flying skills. C. Special wings. D. Strong feathers. 25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Birds fly north for the winter. B. The trips of birds are always short. C. Birds fly south to find much food in winter. D. Birds fly to other areas when warm weather comes. 26. Where can we find this passage? A. A story book. B. An encyclopaedia. C. A travel guide. D. A health magazine. C THE PLANT WORLD There are more than 400,000 kinds of plants on Earth. Some plants are as big as tall buildings; others are as small as rice. Plants are key parts of the food circle. They play an important part in the 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 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 up in an open space, but much taller and thinner 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 are able to get used to the environment. 27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Number of plants. B. Different sizes of plants. C. Importance of plants. D. Parts of plants. 28. What method does the author use to describe the plants in paragraph 2? A. By comparing. B. By giving examples. C. By giving numbers. D. By telling stories. 29. What can we know about plants from the passage? A. Flower and seed are the most important parts of a plant. B. Plants and animals grow in the same way. C. Only environment controls the plants’ growth. D. It’s important for the plants to get used to the environment. 30. Where can we most probably read the passage? A. In an advertisement. B. In a story book. C. In an encyclopaedia. D. In a poster. 第二节： 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。 Scientists have found fossils of animals with tails since hundreds of millions of years ago. Back then, early fish used their tails as fins (鳍) to swim through oceans, and run away from enemies. ____31____ Scientists believe that dinosaurs used their tails to balance their heavy heads and bodies while they walked. ____32____ Similarly, kangaroos use their tails for balance. But their tail also works as their third powerful leg: it can help push them forward.
