（A）
Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why there are so many plants around us.
There are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruit. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can not see many non-flowering plants around you.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us we can live on earth.

(B)
Do you know why different animals or pests (害虫) have their special colors？Colors on them seem to be used mainly (主要地) to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot catch them easily. Why? Because locusts change their colors according to the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others, so they have to hide (隐藏) themselves and appear (出现) only at night.
If you study animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have colors much like the trees.
A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads out, its enemies (敌人) cannot find it, so it can escape (逃跑) at once. So it can live long, though it is not strong at all.
( )31.From the passage we learn that locusts _______.
A.are small animals B.are easily found by birds
C.are dangerous to their enemies D.change their colors to protect themselves
( )32.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?
A.They run away quickly.
B.They have the colors much like their enemies.
C.They hide themselves by day and appear at night.
D.They have to move quietly.
( )33.Bears and lions can keep safe because _______.
A.they have the colors much like the trees
B.they move quietly
C.they like brown and grey colors
D.they live in forests
( )34.Why can the kind of fish live long?
A.Because it is very big and strong.
B.Because it can send out a kind of very black liquid to help it escape from its enemies.
C.Because it can send out a kind of liquid to kill its enemies.
D.Because it swims faster than any other fish.
( )35.Which is the best title(标题) of this passage?
A.The Change of Colors for Animals and Pests.
B.Colors of Different Pests.
C.The Main Use of Colors for Animals and Pests.
D.Some Animals and Pests.

第二部分 基础知识运用
Ⅰ. 1.D little几乎没有, many许多,修饰可数名词, lot of是错误的用法, 应该写成lots of大量,许多, plenty of大量的,既可修饰可数名词,又可修饰不可数名词。故此题选D。
2.C 考查易混淆词区别。根据题意:“你站得离电视太近了,你能移远一点吗?”fast指

8.D 考查形容词的比较级。根据句意: “周芳,你能用更少的时间把你的作业做得更好
吗?”空格后的time是不可数名词,只能用little来修饰,little的比较级是less,故选D。
9.B 此处是固定搭配,be important to/for sb. 表示“……对某人来说是重要的”。
10.D 考查可数名词变复数的语法。
11. D 12..C 13,D 14.D 15.A

Dear Wei Huanjing,
I am very excited to receive your e-mail. I am interested in your questions.
There are many rivers in our city. Ming Jiang River is one of the longest rivers. But the water in the river isn’t as clean as before. This is because people cut the trees down a lot. As we know, trees can keep the water much cleaner. On March 12th, We often plant some trees on the hills. More and more trees are growing. I think the water is becoming cleaner and cleaner.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Li Zhiyuan
