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 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.21. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the world D. we cannot live without water22. Plants can make food from_.A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light23. This passage may be taken from_.A. a medicine book B. a novelC. a science magazine D. an experiment report24. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _.A. damaged B. polluted C. prevented D. guarded B I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?” Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know. Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!25. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.A. describe the place carefullyB. refer to recognizable buildings and placesC. show him a map of the placeD. tell him the names of the streets26. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.27. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A .in order to save timeB. as a testC. for fun D. so as to be polite28. What can we infer from the text?A. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.B. People have similar understandings of politeness.C. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CIt was a Friday morning, 7:30a.m. I felt too lazy to drive my car so I asked my son to book a taxi. In five minutes, the taxi reached the entrance gate, waiting for my arrival. I just saw the car number and got into the car. I was so busy that I didnt pay any attention to the driver. I was searching for an important paper from my bag, so I said, “Please, go quick! Im in a hurry!” The voice came, “Yes, Ma am!” I was surprised when I heard a female voice! I stopped my work for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady. Maybe, around thirty or thirty-two! For the first time, I saw a lady driving a taxi!Hundred times, I had traveled in a taxi, but I never saw any lady driving a taxi. I didnt know why I became so enthusiastic about knowing why she had chosen this profession. So I started the conversation, “If you dont mind, can I ask you some questions?” “Yes, Maam! No problem.” “I guess, you are well qualified!” “Yes, Maam. I have completed my education. I have done my MBA course.” “Oh, my God! Why did you then choose this profession, instead of going for an academic career?”She smiled and the way she expressed her views made me amazed! Very politely, she said “Driving was my passion（热情）from my childhood, Maam! Of course I do respect each and every job. In this case, at least I fulfill my desire! I love driving! I dont mind for a big or small job. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I get offers from M.N.C but I prefer this one because I like it! I know, I cant get enough money out of it, yet as I tell you I love driving! Thats it.”29. Why did the author take a taxi to work that Friday morning?A. Because her son didnt want her to drive.B.

To ask the driver something about the MBA course.31. What can we know about the female driver?A. She was well-educated.B. Her service wan not good.C. She didnt finish her MBA course.D. She was surprised to see the author.32. What attitude does the author probably keep to the female driver?A. objective B. favorable C. neutral D. not mentionedDDo you like chocolate? Maybe most people do. A box of it can be a great gift. Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise. See how happy that person gets.Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied peoples choices. He says they tell something about the person. Did you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes to party. Did you choose an oval (椭圆形的) shape? You are a person who likes to make things. Picking a square（正方形的）shape shows something else. The person is honest and truthful. You can depend on him or her.What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past. Dark chocolate means something else. A person who chooses it looks toward the future. What about white chocolate? Would you choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Some people like chocolate with nuts. These are people who like to help others.Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesnt really matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolate.
