But there are some people who do it all the time. They grow some vegetables because their natural color or shape is pleasing to see. They grow others because scientists have developed new colors or different sizes for traditional vegetables.One example is the bell pepper. Seed companies sell seeds for several different kinds of bell peppers. One pepper is a weak yellow color when it begins to grow. Then its color changes to white. As it grows, it changes color two more times to orange, then red. If you are not interested in peppers that change colors as they grow, you can grow some that remain on color. Each kind of pepper has its own special taste.Another unusual plant is known as the yard-long bean or snake bean. It grows up to one meter in length. It is an important part of the food supply in areas of Asia. American farmers like it because it is different, yet tastes very much like the green beans they traditionally grow. Each bean has from ten to twenty seeds. The outside or pod can be eaten. Some of the very long beans are green outside but have black-and-white or red seeds.Gourds (葫芦) are plants that people like to grow because of their many different shapes. They also have many uses. Some round gourds are dried, painted and made into containers. Others have long necks and big bodies. These are dried, cut and made into containers to pour drinking water.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE_.A.The new kinds of vegetables can sell better than the traditional ones.B.Asian are fond of snake bean because of its different colors.C.American farmers like bell pepper because of its different tastes.D.People are willing to grow gourds due to their various shapes and functions.22. People grow the bell pepper mainly to enjoy its _.A. shapes B. colors C. flavors D. vitamins23. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Growing Unusual Vegetables for FunB. Growing Food with Different PurposesC. Growing different vegetables has different purposesD. Farmers Strange Ideas of Growing FoodBMothers Day is the occasion upon which children stop and say “thank you” to moms all over the world . Homemade cards express gratitude for countless meals cooked, wounds dressed and hugs given. Animal moms, on the other hand, never get any thanks. But animal moms are also great moms. You might be surprised at some of these moms.Octopuses (章鱼)The mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs. For about 300 days, she stays with the eggs, cleans them and protects them. She does not leave to feed. However, this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched (孵化).Crocodiles (鳄鱼)A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. She starts by building a nest, which she guards for over two months! When the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocodiles call out to their mother, who digs them out and helps them hatch. She then carries them in her mouth down to the water, where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.BatsBats become moms by hanging head up in a cave, giving birth. Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below, she puts it in a pouch (育儿袋). Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. As the little bats get bigger and heavier, moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. It continues for about three weeks, until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.Koalas (考拉)The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy (怀孕期) of only 35 days. The hairless baby climbs into its mothers pouch and lives there for another five months. When the little koala is between five and eight months old, it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety. Once it is too big to return to the pouch, it will climb onto its mothers back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.24. A crocodile mother usually carries her baby to the water _.A. in her pouch B. on her backC. in her mouthD. by her tail25. A bat mom _.A. gives birth by lying in the nestB. gives birth by hanging in a caveC. leaves its babies in the pouch for monthsD. lets its babies live on their own after birth26. According to the passage, what can we know about the koala?A. A young koala usually stay with its mom for twelve months.B. The hairless baby lives in the mothers pouch for about half a year.C. The little koala leaves the pouch at age between four and seven months old.D. The animal mom needs to be pregnant for over two months before the babys birth.CI used to teach 7th grade boys . I often got comments of sympathy, but I loved those young students. When I first started teaching them, I soon realized I need to bring forth some new ideas to keep their attention, so I came up with the idea of doing object lessons. And one of my favourite lessons with them was the “Chocolate Cake Course”.I took a covered cake carrier one day saying, “ I want you to have some chocolate cakes this morning.” Then, I handed out a cup of cocoa powder, a bowl of eggs, and container with flour, oil, sugar and all the other ingredients to each boy. They looked at me in puzzlement and disappointment. I smiled as I told them, “I know it doesnt look like a chocolate cake now, but without adding all those ingredients, you wont end up with a delicious chocolate cake.”We discussed the way the ingredients were put in a bowl and then beaten by a mixer. We talked about how the batter(糊状物) was put into pans and placed in a hot oven. Then I shared with them how the process mirrors our lives. Sometimes there were sweet times, like the sugar that went into the cake. Sometimes there were bitter times, like the cocoa when eaten alone. And sometimes there were hard times when we felt as if we were being beaten like the batter. Finally, we talked about how it was necessary for the cake batter to go into a hot oven. Sometimes we felt the heat of hot oven as if we were going through some hard circumstances. Just like I need to have a plan for that chocolate cake, we need to know exactly what ingredients to put into our lives and how long we need to stay in the oven of hard times so that we could become stronger and get the sweetness from life. Looking at their faces throughout the room, I could tell the boys had got it, especially when I showed a chocolate cake for them to share.27. What is the writers new idea as a teacher ?A.

The writer not only taught the students how to make cakes but also _.A. told them the truth of life B. taught them good disciplineC. stressed the importance of work D. spread culture knowledge第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home activities teachers assign to students.

I had to travel a lot over the country as a part of my work. I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money.On one of my trips, I came to the airport to take a bus to downtown, as usual. It was the same routine: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly backThat day, for some reasons, I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there, enjoying the scenery. Finally the bus came.Usually I always took the seat behind the driver. That day I sat down somewhere in the middle. A boy was seated next to me, carrying a lot of suitcases. Suddenly, he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. Warmly, he said, “hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, huh?”I remember thinking to myself this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride? But out of politeness, I replied, “Pe
