Life could not go on 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. 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(不开花的) plants.Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). 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(孢子). Spores are very, 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 fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.25. What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A. Of all living things, animals are most important.B. Spores are seeds.C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.D. Without plants, man will die out.26. The paragraph following the passage will be about _.A. how plants can make food from airB. how spores grow into new plantsC. why some plants have no seedsD. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants27. This passage is most likely to be taken from _.A. a story book B. a novelC. a science magazineD. a laboratory reportBBeef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in the USA than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers quickly, so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonalds Company was selling hamburgers in a lot of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called “Wendys” began to compete(竞争) with McDonalds. Wendys said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone elses. The Wendys Company created the expression “Wheres the beef?” to make people believe that Wendys hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny(极小的) bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Wheres the beef?” she shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendys hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it seemed that everyone began using the expression “Wheres the beef?” It was one of the most popular expressions in the USA.28. From the passage, we know that the McDonalds Company was first run by _.A. McDonald B. Wendy C. Ray Krocs good friends D. Ray Kroc29. The underlined expression “Wheres the beef?” in Paragraph 2 means “_”.A. the beef in the hamburgers is lostB. the beef is as good as it is said to beC. the hamburger is not as good as describedD. the beef cannot be found30. The passage implies(暗示) that some other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because _.A. hamburgers were easy to makeB. they wanted to make a lot of moneyC. they could sell hamburgers from California to MaineD. they thought hamburgers were good to eatCBill Fuller, the postman, whistled(吹口哨) cheerfully as he pushed his bike up the hill towards Mrs Dunleys house. His work for the day was almost finished. His bag, usually quite heavy when he set out on his road, was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver(递送) to Mrs Dunley. She lived over a mile from that village so that, when Bill had a letter for her, he always finished his days work much later. He did not mind this, however, because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea. When Bill entered the gate of Mrs Dunleys house, he was surprised not to find her working in the garden. She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine. Bill went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. He returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs Dunley hardly left the house.Just then, he noticed that her bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. This worried him. If Mrs Dunley had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Bill walked round the house until he found an open window. He squeezed(挤) through it. Then he went into the hall. There he almost fell over Mrs Dunley, who was lying at the foot of the stairs unconscious(昏迷不醒的). Realizing that there was little he could do for her, Bill rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance(救护车) as soon as he got to the village.31. What did Mrs Dunley usually do with Bill? A. She usually asked him to have a cup of tea. B. She usually had a talk with him. C. She usually asked him to dinner.D. She usually asked him to buy some tea.32. The thing that especially worried Bill was _. A. finding the back door locked and the curtains drawn B. seeing the bottle of milk on the doorstep C. not getting any answer when he knocked on the door D. not finding Mrs Dunley in the garden33. How did Bill get help for Mrs Dunley? A. He stopped a passing car and took her to the hospital. B. He himself telephoned for an ambulance. C. He stopped a car and asked the driver to telephone for an ambulance. D. He asked the driver to take her to the hospital.DFor a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.You do not have to be spineless (优柔寡断的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正当行为). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心丧气的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not likeselfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点) and have to fight against them.At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.34. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to _.A. work hard at everything we doB. enjoy the best share of everythingC. look for treasure in order to be successfulD. pay more attention to their strong points35.If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to _.A. be polite and friendly B. give up some rights C. get away arguing with other peopleD. be ready to change his or her character36.There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she _.A. is modest and generous B. is selfish and lazy C. does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault D. is very happy with unpleasant quality37. The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _.A. train you to be perfect B. show you the way to be happyC. tell you how to act when you dislike a personD. teach you how to be popular among your friends第II卷（主观题，共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。1.
