There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. ”
The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. ” Then the rose looked at a cactus(仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺)!”
“What a proud flower！” thought the tree.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor！”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “Any form of life couldn't be created without a purpose. ”
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks(喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water ” asked the rose.
“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. ”

Every living thing needs to reproduce. Reproducing means creating more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds(种子) to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.
The simplest way is gravity. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.
Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple(枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree.
Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal's body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it's in a new place.
Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.
61. What does the word “gravity” mean in the second paragraph
A. The action that makes animals drop seeds.
B. The help that moves seeds even farther away.
C. The need that comes from animals and plants.
D. The force that causes fruit to fall to the ground.
62. How do maples spread their seeds
A. They use ants. B. They use wind.
C. They use smells. D. They use animals.
63. What do ants do to help spread seeds
a. They only eat part of the seed.
b. They help seeds fall from the tree.
c. They carry seeds to the underground home.
d. They pick up the fruit and move it far away.
e. They leave the rest of the seed underground.
A. b, d, e B. a, b, d
C. a, c, e D. b, c, d
64. What is the theme (主题) of the text
A. Nature. B. Culture.
C. Education. D. Technology.
65. What's the best title for the text
A. How Plants Spread Seeds
B. Why Animals Pick Up Seeds
C. How Wind Helps Seeds Spread
D. Why Seeds Have a Special Trip
Ⅸ. 任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
Do you long to have garden fresh vegetables on your plate every night Read on for information on how to take care of a garden.
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden, but don't water too much. You could drown(淹死) your plants!
You may see some plants in your garden that you didn't put there. These are weeds(野草). Pull them out when the ground is soft and wet. Be sure to pull out the roots, or the weeds will grow back.
Tall plants such as tomatoes need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. When your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to tie them to a stake(桩). Push a long stick into the ground next to each plant. Tie the plant to the stick with a string. As each plant grows taller, you'll have to tie it up again.
If you've planted seeds, you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow. This is called thinning. If you've planted lettuce(生菜) seeds, wait until the baby plants are about 1.5 inches tall. Then pull some of the plants out so that you can leave about 8 inches between plants.
Now that you've done all the work to make a vegetable garden, it's time to enjoy what you've finished. If you have more vegetables from your garden than your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to have the joy together with others.
