Why do plants grow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in some places and not in others Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, but other land has almost no plants
To grow, plants need ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why there are almost no trees or grass on dry deserts.
Plants must also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f we try to make things grow on the sandy beach A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on the beach has almost no food for plants.
( )41. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “cracks” probably means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 表面 B. 底部 C. 夹层 D. 缝隙
( )42. From ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage, we can know it’s not for plants to grow in dry places.
A. easy B. possible
C. difficult D. important
( )43. How ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many things do plants need to grow well according to the passage
A. Five. B. Four. C. Three. D. Two.
( )44. Why can’t most plants grow on the sandy beach
A. Because there is too much water.
B. Because there isn’t enough sunlight.
C. Because it has little food for plants.
D. Because it is too crowded there.
