Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不開(kāi)花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(種子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(陰涼的) places, they usually grow into new plants.
小題1:What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A．Of all living things, animals are most important.
B．Spores are seeds.
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.
D．Without plants, man will die out.
小題2:The paragraph following the passage will be about ________.
A．how plants can make food from air
B．how spores grow into new plants
C．why some plants have no seeds
D．why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants
小題3:This passage is most likely to be taken from ________.
A．a(chǎn) story bookB．a(chǎn) novel
C．a(chǎn) science magazineD．a(chǎn) laboratory report

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:C

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了指物對(duì)于我們的重要性以及它們的繁殖方式.
小題1:根據(jù)第一段Life could not go on if there were no plants.及下文描述，可知沒(méi)有植物，人們就會(huì)死亡。故選D。
小題2:短文最后一段主要介紹了不開(kāi)花植物通過(guò)孢子繁殖，故接下來(lái)可能要講述的是，孢子如何長(zhǎng)成新的植物。故選B。
小題3:這篇短文主要介紹了指物的兩種繁殖方式,故有可能出自一本科學(xué)雜志,選C,一本科學(xué)雜志.
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文淺顯易懂，層次分明，學(xué)生很容易把握文章中心內(nèi)容。答題中注意帶著問(wèn)題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問(wèn)題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。

  Napoga  is a 12—year---old  girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water . Every morning , she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away . It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga . They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然資源)on the earth.
Water covers 70 perent of the earth’s surface (表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things.  Fresh water covers only one percent of the earth’s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s . But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers , lakes , and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish , too. Now, thirty-four percent of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then , when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants ,animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves  and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
● Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450liters(升)each month.
● Leaky taps （漏水的龍頭）waste a lot of water. Fix them right away.
●You can easily cut your 10—minute showers in half---and you’ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full , you are wasting water!
根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案，并將其標(biāo)號(hào)填入題前括號(hào)內(nèi)。
小題1:Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _________.

小題2:On the earth, _______________.

閱讀下面材料，從每題所給的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B和C）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler … and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10%.
Scientists in UK did the study on 448 students. The students were studying for different degrees  at the University of East London. Only 25% of them entered the exam hall with water.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought water with them got better grades by 2% to10%.
Scientists also predicted the students’ scores according to their normal schoolwork. They wrote down their possible scores on paper before exams.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also reduce anxiety (焦慮), which has a bad effect on exam performances.
“Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) with water during exams,” one of the scientists said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. It may help you pass the exam!
小題1:According to the study, students who bring water to exams may ______.
A. get better scores
B. feel worried in exams
C. be smarter than others
小題2:How many students brought water during the exam in the study by the UK scientists?

小題3:Having enough water in exams ______.

What do you think is the most important invention in the world? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.

April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth!
The earth has warmed by about 1°F (華氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how?
Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect (溫室效應(yīng)) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (氣候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
小題1:Earth Day is probably set for people to ______.
A．learn more about the earthB．make full use of the earth
C．take better care of the earth.D．study the warmth of the earth
小題2:We can infer (推斷) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are
______ now.
A．not very clear B．completely secretC．well knownD．not given yet
小題3:Greenhouse effect comes from______.
A．sea risingB．climate changeC．nature's unbalanceD．people's activity
小題4:The passage mainly tells us that ______.
A．there is more rain nowB．we should protect the earth
C．we must stop pollutionD．sea level is getting higher
