A
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.
21. 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.
22. How do maples spread their seeds
A. They use ants. B. They use wind. C. They use smells. D. They use animals.
23. 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.

Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province, but now it has changed into a rich and livable place.
In the 1940s, villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. Zhang Guishun, the Party secretary of Shashiyu, encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty. "In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work, why can't we Nobody was born to be poor " Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China（中国共产党）, the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to. 1971, they reclaimed（开垦）lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However, the village encountered a new problem two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in 1990s.
The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started grape cultivation, which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu.
In 2009, the city-level government invested over 1 million yuan($152, 723) to change the village's exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier generations.
After 10 years, the village was called "National Forest Village".
Zhang said that the village started a yearly tourism festival in 2015 to attract travelers to pick grapes. "The grapes could be sold at a better price once Shashiyu becomes famous through this festival. Our villagers can then live even better lives, "he said.

It’s often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists can tell you: Maybe you can.
Recently, some Chinese scientists have made a big breakthrough (突破). They turned CO2 into starch (淀粉).
Starch is the main part of rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly sixty steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only eleven steps.
“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a laboratory, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they made these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex (复杂的) molecules. Finally the starch came out.
This method makes it possible to produce food in factories instead of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate (气候) change, according to China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat!
31. What achievement have the Chinese scientists made recently
A. They created starch with CO2. B. They grew corn in space.
C. They turned O2 into starch. D. They improved traditional farming.
32. How many steps do the scientists need to produce starch now
A. 3. B. 6. C. 11. D. 60.
33. What did the scientists do first to make starch
A. They recycled CO2 in space.
B. They produced rice and corn on the farm.
C. They turned CO2 and hydrogen into methanol.
D. They made methanol molecules into bigger and more complex ones.
34. The technology may be helpful in the following areas EXCEPT ________.
A. making food B. putting sunlight to good use C. saving water and land D. dealing with climate change
35. What’s the best title of the passage
A. How to Deal with CO2 B. The Advantages of Making Starch
C. How to Make Food in Space D. China’s First Step in Man-made Food
D
Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters.
A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
36.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.
A. can’t be lost in a new city B. can’t find their way in different countries
C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place D. can spend the least time getting to another place
37. We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A. there are three parts to the GPS B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch
C. a GPS can help you start your car D. the GPS are becoming more and more expensive
38. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.
A. Receivers B. GPS devices C. Satellites D. Ground stations
39. The passage is mainly about _______________.
A. the history of the GPS B. the introduction of the GPS
C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS
40. What can we infer(推断) from the passage
A. All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D.The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.
