　　Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

　　If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

　　Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

　　Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

　　50.   The main idea of the passage is that __________.

　　A. plants are important for life             B. plants cannot grow without air

　　C. there are many plants around us      D. we cannot live without water

　　51.   Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

　　A. Plants can be divided into main types: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

　　B. All fruits have seeds in them     

　　C. Seeds are protected by the fruits.

　　D. Some plants grow from spores.

　　52. The word “non-flowering ” in this passage means __________.

　　   A. 开花的      B. 有花的      C. 多花的      D. 不开花的

　　53. In “shady” place there is __________.

　　   A. a lot of sunshine      B. a lot of water      C. no water      D. little sunshine

　　Letter to Editor of TV Weekly Dear Sir/Madam,

　　I read Alison Burnham's review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonder- ful--I found the old news pictures really interesting--they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.

　　The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s).

　　My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it--one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn't catch the bus home--I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I've been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I'm able to take control of the situation.

　　I would like to say to the director, Bret Ctfrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called "reality programmes". I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry. Yours faithfully, Chris Daniels

　　1. What is Chris Daniels' purpose of writing this letter.

　　A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.

　　B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.

　　C. To express his appreciation of the programme.

　　D. To have his story told on the programme.

　　2. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to_______.

　　A. describe how painful his early experience was

　　B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham

　　C. show how the programme made him think

　　D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson

　　3. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home

　　because_______.

　　A. he hadn't got a return ticket

　　B. he had lost his bus ticket

　　C. he didn't like big crowds

　　D. he missed the bus home

　　4. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on

　　the bus?

　　A. He should have told the conductor then.

　　B. He should have been well treated.

　　C. He regrets going to school alone.

　　D. He wishes it hadn't happened.

　　【解 析】

　　本文是作者为感谢TVWeekly节目而给编辑写的一封信，信中谈到自己童年时的真实经历和感受。

　　答案: 1．C主旨大意题．从开头第一段第二句“It houughtthe programme was wonderful.., they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling"和文章最后一句 "I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and ery"可判断作者是十分感激的。

　　2．C 推断题。第二段中作者叙述自己童年的经历和感受,一切都是"The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood."

　　3. A 细节题。 --可从文中第二段直接找到答案： but it was a pink one for as ingle journey...

　　I couldn't catch the bus home... I had to walk.

　　4. A 细节推断题目。由第二段最后一句：: As a grown-up,whenever I've been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early... "可以推知A为最佳选项。

　　第一节

　　（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’

　　hoofs(马蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d lie on Mom’s bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.

　　But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”

　　We moaned（不满,发牢骚） and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”

　　So pretty soon there were these two peevish（坏脾气的）boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly（不情愿） among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.

　　The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers（河狸）. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.

　　It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip（快速翻动）of a page.

　　Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.

　　Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(儿童神经外科)at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.

　　But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.
