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. Therefore 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 do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.56.

After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth.

Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green- a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.68. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_.A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow69. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women.C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.70. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _.A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light 第2节 ：补全对话满分10分。Mary， we are going to have a party on New Years Eve.

They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their warm beer! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500ml) or halves (250ml).
