　　 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 pine 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."
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.
The rose learned a lesson that never judge (评价) anyone by their appearance.

We all know that plants are delicious food for insects. But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.
Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant's leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can't eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.
Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it's already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. By giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.
27.Which of the following is TRUE about the passion plant
A. It doesn't have any leaves.
B. Its leaves are full of spikes.
C. It is too small for insects to eat.
D. Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.
28.What does the underlined word "discourages" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. 鼓励 B. 吞噬
C. 阻止 D. 喂养
29.How does the potato plant protect itself
A. It gives out a chemical making insects feel full.
B. It has too many leaves for insects to eat.
C. It has bad leaves for insects to eat.
D. It gives out a chemical to kill insects.
30.What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How to grow plants.
B. Two ways for plants to protect themselves.
C. The relationship between plants and insects.
D. How to make insects stay away from plants.

Cycads(苏铁)grow in warm places. They are tall and green all year round. Their leaves grow on the top and flowers seldom come out. Some have bright orange fruits. They usually need hundreds of years to grow into adult plants.
Cycads are facing problems now. In South Africa, the situation of cycads is getting terrible,but this has drawn little attention from the public."In fact,there are 38 kinds of cycads in South Africa. Among them,2 kinds have disappeared since 2003 and 25 kinds are in great danger,"said a gardener. "Do you know what the loneliest plant is in the world It is Wood's Cycad. Someone found it in a forest in 1895. It is the only one of its kind."
So what causes cycads to be in danger Surprisingly, the danger is from the people who love them most. These slow-growing adult cycads even sell for tens of thousands of dollars each. As time goes by,they have become a symbol of wealth and position(地位)in society. This makes cycad lovers want to own more. Cycad lovers buy and plant them in their private gardens. As a result,nearly all these cycads die because the living conditions have changed.
South African government has taken action to protect cycads from being stolen and traded. At the same time,people around the world should also work together to protect the plants.

　　The willow branch(柳树枝) is a part of the willow tree. In ancient China, willow branches were often used as a parting gift between friends and family 41.　　　　(member). Even today, willow branches are mentioned in many cases as a symbol of saying goodbye. Do you know 42.　　　　
　　One reason is that willow trees are strong. They can live 43.　　　　(easy) in any place, wet or dry, north or south. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will get used to 44.　　　　(they) new living environment.
　　45.　　　　 another reason, the pronunciation of the willow tree "liu(柳)"is similar to the character "liu(留)"in Chinese — only the tones are different. It means inviting someone to 46.　　　　(stay).

Dear classmates, I'm very proud to share our plan with you today. The plan we choose is naming the plants in English.
There are mainly two steps. We'll first do a survey to find information about the plants. We can surf the Internet or ask our teachers for help if we meet with difficulties. The second step is to design name cards. We'll describe each kind of plants in English. To make the cards look prettier, a photo of the plant will be included in each card.
We believe this plan will make our school garden a better place to learn about nature and improve our English. I can't wait to see it come into practice.
That's all. Thank you!
