Lotus, ginkgoes, Chinese roses ... On the campus of Beijing 101 Middle School, there are more than 200 types of plants. To keep a record of the rich natural resources there, the school's students made a beautiful book: Flora of 101.
“We chose 30 plants to show with pictures, basic information and particularly, a poem for each plant written by ourselves，” said 17 year old Wang Jianyuan, the chief editor of the book.
The poems are not just describing the plants. They also reflect students' stories. “One day I was a little upset when I smelt a fragrance (芳香). Looking down, I saw humifuse euphorbia, or dijincao (地锦草), a very common plant. Suddenly I felt comforted—it just grows and gives off a sweet scent, regardless of people stepping on it. So I wrote a poem for it，” said Wang Jianyuan.
“Every poem in the book shows students' unique understanding of the plants, showing our school's character and spirit through the book，” Wang Jianyuan added.
Wang Jingyue, 17, painted the pictures for the book. “Many students in our school love painting. We took photos of the plants and drew them in a realistic (现实主义的) style，” Wang Jingyue said. “Siting there and painting give us a chance to closely watch a plant and connect with it. It feels amazing.”
The students plan to print 300 copies of the book this September to give out to new students. “We hope the younger students can fall in love with the plants and the ecosystem in our school. Hopefully, when they walk along the green alleys (小径), they can find peace and inspiration，” said Wang Jianyuan.
24．Why do the students make the book of plants
A．To make a record of them.
B.To publish a book about plants.
C．To finish their homework.
D.To make themselves become famous.
25．What is the character of dijincao
A．Proud. B.Weak.
C.Selfish. D.Strong.
26．How many plants did they choose to put in their book
A．30. B.101.
C．200. D.300.
27．What would be the best title for this passage
A．The Stories of the Plants in 101
B.101—A Campus With 200 Plants
C．A Book for the Plants in 101
D.A Book With 300 Pictures Published

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grass may contain a sandy material; eating such grass wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
32．The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals ________．
A．are not tall enough
B．like the lower leaves only
C．are not clever enough
D．can get the lower leaves easily
33．To defend themselves, oak trees use ________．
A．chemical means B．physical means
C．bitter chemicals D．sandy materials
34．How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar
A．Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B．Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C．Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D．Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
35．What would be the best title for this passage
A．Plants and Animals
B．How Plants Defend Themselves
C．Attacks and Defenses
D．How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When John pulled into his mother's driveway with his young daughter, Lily, the sight of the familiar lychee (荔枝) tree welcomed them. “Look, Lily，” John said, pointing to the towering tree in the front yard. “It's the family tree.”
Lily smiled as John treated the tree as if it were a real family member, patting its trunk (树干) affectionately. As they were admiring the tree, the screen door opened and out stepped Grandma Mei, bathed in the warm Florida sunlight. Grandma Mei, who came from the province of Guangdong in China, was known for her green thumb, particularly when it came to lychees.
Seeing her granddaughter, Grandma Mei adjusted her baseball cap and asked if Lily was ready for some lychees. But Lily hesitated, for the fruit's appearance was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. With a laugh, Grandma Mei gave her a gentle hug. “More lychees for me then, John，” Grandma Mei said.
“Let's get busy！” John said with enthusiasm, rubbing his hands together. “Family tree's waiting.”
Hearing Dad calling the tree by name, Lily couldn't help laughing. “Laugh if you want, Lily, but this tree is really family. On cold nights, before family tree was fully grown, Grandma Mei used to take my blanket and throw it over that tree.” Grandma Mei nodded, adding that she had to protect the tree from bad weather so that it would become a big strong tree and grow fruit for the whole family.
John, eager to start the day's work, began climbing the tree, determined to harvest the best lychees for the family. Lily watched in amazement, noticing the clusters (簇) of lychees, their skin rough yet inviting.
As John skillfully cut through the branches with a cutter, Lily expressed her concern for the well being of the tree. John explained to her that cutting the ends of branches won't hurt family tree. Instead such behaviour made it healthier and stronger.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Lily's hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees.

Hello! My name is Art. I'm 74 years old and I live in a retirement community with my wife Kate. I retired about twelve years ago from the bicycle business. I was in the bicycle business for thirty-five years. For twenty of the thirty-five years I ran my own business. After I decided to sell my business, I became an adviser. I worked as an adviser for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires you to be forty-eight years old or older. In the community I engage in many activities, such as oil painting and watercolor painting. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community and since I play more often than I used to before I retired, my skill has improved very much.

Lotus, ginkgoes, Chinese roses ... On the campus of Beijing 101 Middle School, there are more than 200 types of plants. To keep a record of the rich natural resources there, the school's students made a beautiful book: Flora of 101.
“We chose 30 plants to show with pictures, basic information and particularly, a poem for each plant written by ourselves，” said 17 year old Wang Jianyuan, the chief editor of the book.
The poems are not just describing the plants. They also reflect students' stories. “One day I was a little upset when I smelt a fragrance (芳香). Looking down, I saw humifuse euphorbia, or dijincao (地锦草), a very common plant. Suddenly I felt comforted—it just grows and gives off a sweet scent, regardless of people stepping on it. So I wrote a poem for it，” said Wang Jianyuan.
“Every poem in the book shows students' unique understanding of the plants, showing our school's character and spirit through the book，” Wang Jianyuan added.
Wang Jingyue, 17, painted the pictures for the book. “Many students in our school love painting. We took photos of the plants and drew them in a realistic (现实主义的) style，” Wang Jingyue said. “Siting there and painting give us a chance to closely watch a plant and connect with it. It feels amazing.”
The students plan to print 300 copies of the book this September to give out to new students. “We hope the younger students can fall in love with the plants and the ecosystem in our school. Hopefully, when they walk along the green alleys (小径), they can find peace and inspiration，” said Wang Jianyuan.

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grass may contain a sandy material; eating such grass wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.

Dear fellow students，
Now a growing number of wild animals are dying out every year. Humankind is enlarging their own living space endlessly just to satisfy their own desires, for which a lot of animals' homes are being destroyed.
In order to remove the threats to wild animals, we should take measures to watch over them. First, the government should set up some nature reserves for wild animals where no one can hunt them. Second, we are not supposed to kill wild animals for their fur or eat their meat.
Only when we don't attack wild animals for profits any more can we live in harmony with them. Let's take action now!

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When John pulled into his mother's driveway with his young daughter, Lily, the sight of the familiar lychee (荔枝) tree welcomed them. “Look, Lily，” John said, pointing to the towering tree in the front yard. “It's the family tree.”
Lily smiled as John treated the tree as if it were a real family member, patting its trunk (树干) affectionately. As they were admiring the tree, the screen door opened and out stepped Grandma Mei, bathed in the warm Florida sunlight. Grandma Mei, who came from the province of Guangdong in China, was known for her green thumb, particularly when it came to lychees.
Seeing her granddaughter, Grandma Mei adjusted her baseball cap and asked if Lily was ready for some lychees. But Lily hesitated, for the fruit's appearance was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. With a laugh, Grandma Mei gave her a gentle hug. “More lychees for me then, John，” Grandma Mei said.
“Let's get busy！” John said with enthusiasm, rubbing his hands together. “Family tree's waiting.”
Hearing Dad calling the tree by name, Lily couldn't help laughing. “Laugh if you want, Lily, but this tree is really family. On cold nights, before family tree was fully grown, Grandma Mei used to take my blanket and throw it over that tree.” Grandma Mei nodded, adding that she had to protect the tree from bad weather so that it would become a big strong tree and grow fruit for the whole family.
John, eager to start the day's work, began climbing the tree, determined to harvest the best lychees for the family. Lily watched in amazement, noticing the clusters (簇) of lychees, their skin rough yet inviting.
As John skillfully cut through the branches with a cutter, Lily expressed her concern for the well being of the tree. John explained to her that cutting the ends of branches won't hurt family tree. Instead such behaviour made it healthier and stronger.

Lily's hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Lily (莉莉)和父亲John (约翰)来到奶奶Mei (梅)家。奶奶家有一颗荔枝树，父亲称它为“家庭树”。因为荔枝的外观与Lily以前吃过的任何水果都不一样，Lily对是否品尝荔枝犹豫不决。看到父亲采摘荔枝，她好奇地想要尝尝。荔枝的味道如何呢？荔枝树为何会成为“家庭树”呢？
[精彩范文]
Lily's hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. After John continued to climb higher and pick more lychees, she approached Grandma and asked shyly, “Can you show me how to take the spiky skin off the lychee, Grandma？” Grandma Mei smiled with delight. With practiced hands, she took the skin off to show the juicy fruit beneath. “Here you go, dear，” she handed it to Lily. The sweet and fragrant taste made Lily's face light up in surprise. The sweetness was unlike any other fruit she had tried before.
Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees. Grandma Mei shared stories of her homeland, Guangdong, and how the tradition of growing lychees was passed down in their family. John told his childhood days, climbing and playing around the same tree. Lily, now a new fan of the fruit, listened attentively, her hands busy with another lychee, understanding the deep roots of her family's legacy. The family tree, standing tall, silently witnessed another beautiful day binding the generations together even more tightly.

In the community I engage in many activities, such as oil painting and watercolor painting. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day.

Lotus, ginkgoes, Chinese roses ... On the campus of Beijing 101 Middle School, there are more than 200 types of plants. To keep a record of the rich natural resources there, the school's students made a beautiful book: Flora of 101.
“We chose 30 plants to show with pictures, basic information and particularly, a poem for each plant written by ourselves，” said 17 year old Wang Jianyuan, the chief editor of the book.
The poems are not just describing the plants. They also reflect students' stories. “One day I was a little upset when I smelt a fragrance (芳香). Looking down, I saw humifuse euphorbia, or dijincao (地锦草), a very common plant. Suddenly I felt comforted—it just grows and gives off a sweet scent, regardless of people stepping on it. So I wrote a poem for it，” said Wang Jianyuan.
“Every poem in the book shows students' unique understanding of the plants, showing our school's character and spirit through the book，” Wang Jianyuan added.
Wang Jingyue, 17, painted the pictures for the book. “Many students in our school love painting. We took photos of the plants and drew them in a realistic (现实主义的) style，” Wang Jingyue said. “Siting there and painting give us a chance to closely watch a plant and connect with it. It feels amazing.”
The students plan to print 300 copies of the book this September to give out to new students. “We hope the younger students can fall in love with the plants and the ecosystem in our school. Hopefully, when they walk along the green alleys (小径), they can find peace and inspiration，” said Wang Jianyuan.

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grass may contain a sandy material; eating such grass wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物的一些防御外敌侵犯的方法。

One of the healthiest Foods on the planet
There is probably no flower more hated, or misunderstood, than the bright yellow dandelion (蒲公英). __36__ In an effort to have the perfect green grass lawn, people try their best to kill all dandelions with chemical products. Or they dig them out at the roots—only to see them grow right back.
__37__ They are a great source of vitamin K and also are a good source of vitamins A and C. They also have vitamin E, folate and small amounts of other B vitamins. Also, they provide lots of iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Besides nutrition, another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them—from the bottom of the roots to the top of the flower. __38__ Do not eat ones that have been treated with dangerous chemicals or are growing near high traffic areas.
Dandelions are said to provide several possible health benefits such as helping in digestion and improving some skin conditions. They may also reduce inflammation (炎症)．
Children in many parts of the world have had the simple pleasure of blowing the soft, white dandelion tops. __39__ In fact, there is a game children play with dandelions that have gone to seed. Pick the white top, make a wish, close your eyes and blow! If you blow all of the seeds off in one breath, your wish will come true! __40__
A．Well, that is what many children believe.
B．They watch the seeds float easily in the air.
C．At least the seeds have traveled far and wide.
D．Just make sure to take care when picking wild dandelions.
E．You can let more of this nutritious food source continue to grow.

G．In the United States, they are considered “weeds”， the name for any unwanted plant.

37．答案：F
解析：根据下文中的“They are a great source of vitamin K and also are a good source of vitamins A and C. (它们是维生素K的重要来源，也是维生素A和C的不错的来源。)”可知，本段介绍的是蒲公英实际上是最有营养的食物之一。故选F。
38．答案：D
解析：根据下文中的“Do not eat ones that have been treated with dangerous chemicals or are growing near high traffic areas.(不要吃那些经过危险化学品处理或生长在交通繁忙地区附近的蒲公英。)”可推知，此处应说明采摘野生蒲公英时一定要注意。故选D。
39．答案：B
解析：根据上文中的“Children in many parts of the world have had the simple pleasure of blowing the soft, white dandelion tops.(世界上许多地方的孩子都有向蒲公英毛茸茸的白色顶端吹气的简单乐趣。)”可知，此处应说明孩子们吹过蒲公英后所呈现的状态，故B项(他们看着种子轻松地漂浮在空中。)符合题意。故选B。
40．答案：A
解析：根据上文中的“If you blow all of the seeds off in one breath, your wish will come true! (如果你一口气吹掉所有的种子，你的愿望就会实现！)”可知，此处应说明吹掉蒲公英的所有种子能实现愿望这件事情，是许多孩子所相信的。故选A。

Dear fellow students，
Now a growing number of wild animals are dying out every year. Humankind is enlarging their own living space endlessly just to satisfy their own desires, for which a lot of animals' homes are being destroyed.
In order to remove the threats to wild animals, we should take measures to watch over them. First, the government should set up some nature reserves for wild animals where no one can hunt them. Second, we are not supposed to kill wild animals for their fur or eat their meat.
Only when we don't attack wild animals for profits any more can we live in harmony with them. Let's take action now!

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When John pulled into his mother's driveway with his young daughter, Lily, the sight of the familiar lychee (荔枝) tree welcomed them. “Look, Lily，” John said, pointing to the towering tree in the front yard. “It's the family tree.”
Lily smiled as John treated the tree as if it were a real family member, patting its trunk (树干) affectionately. As they were admiring the tree, the screen door opened and out stepped Grandma Mei, bathed in the warm Florida sunlight. Grandma Mei, who came from the province of Guangdong in China, was known for her green thumb, particularly when it came to lychees.
Seeing her granddaughter, Grandma Mei adjusted her baseball cap and asked if Lily was ready for some lychees. But Lily hesitated, for the fruit's appearance was unlike any other fruit she had tried before. With a laugh, Grandma Mei gave her a gentle hug. “More lychees for me then, John，” Grandma Mei said.
“Let's get busy！” John said with enthusiasm, rubbing his hands together. “Family tree's waiting.”
Hearing Dad calling the tree by name, Lily couldn't help laughing. “Laugh if you want, Lily, but this tree is really family. On cold nights, before family tree was fully grown, Grandma Mei used to take my blanket and throw it over that tree.” Grandma Mei nodded, adding that she had to protect the tree from bad weather so that it would become a big strong tree and grow fruit for the whole family.
John, eager to start the day's work, began climbing the tree, determined to harvest the best lychees for the family. Lily watched in amazement, noticing the clusters (簇) of lychees, their skin rough yet inviting.
As John skillfully cut through the branches with a cutter, Lily expressed her concern for the well being of the tree. John explained to her that cutting the ends of branches won't hurt family tree. Instead such behaviour made it healthier and stronger.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Lily (莉莉)和父亲John (约翰)来到奶奶Mei (梅)家。奶奶家有一颗荔枝树，父亲称它为“家庭树”。因为荔枝的外观与Lily以前吃过的任何水果都不一样，Lily对是否品尝荔枝犹豫不决。看到父亲采摘荔枝，她好奇地想要尝尝。荔枝的味道如何呢？荔枝树为何会成为“家庭树”呢？

Lily's hesitation towards the fruit gradually shifted to curiosity and she wanted to try it. After John continued to climb higher and pick more lychees, she approached Grandma and asked shyly, “Can you show me how to take the spiky skin off the lychee, Grandma？” Grandma Mei smiled with delight. With practiced hands, she took the skin off to show the juicy fruit beneath. “Here you go, dear，” she handed it to Lily. The sweet and fragrant taste made Lily's face light up in surprise. The sweetness was unlike any other fruit she had tried before.
Later in the afternoon, they all sat under the tree, surrounded by boxes filled with lychees and sharing stories related to lychees. Grandma Mei shared stories of her homeland, Guangdong, and how the tradition of growing lychees was passed down in their family. John told his childhood days, climbing and playing around the same tree. Lily, now a new fan of the fruit, listened attentively, her hands busy with another lychee, understanding the deep roots of her family's legacy. The family tree, standing tall, silently witnessed another beautiful day binding the generations together even more tightly.
