Bananas

are

a

good

snack.

Not

only

are

they

sweet

and

delicious,but

they

are

easy

to

take

around,so

you

can

take

them

anywhere.

Best

of

all,bananas

provide（提供）

different

things

that

the

human

body

needs!

Bananas

grow

best

in

warm

places

that

get

lots

of

rain.

They

grow

on

plants

that

look

like

trees.

The

banana

plant,however,is

considered

a

herb（草本）

rather

than

a

tree

because

it

doesn't

have

a

strong,woody

stem（茎）.The

plants

can

grow

as

high

as

30

feet.

When

they

reach

their

full

height,flowers

grow

out

from

the

stem.

These

flowers

produce

bananas.#2

Two

or

three

times

each

year,the

plants

produce

fruit.

The

bananas

grow

together,which

seem

like

“hands”.A

hand

is

made

up

of

10

to

20

bananas.

Growers

sometimes

call

bananas

“fingers”.Each

bunch（丛）

of

bananas

has

about

15

hands,and

so

a

whole

bunch

may

have

as

many

as

200

bananas

and

can

weigh

more

than

100

pounds.

After

about

three

months,farmers

pick

the

bananas.

At

this

point,they

still

aren't

the

sunny

yellow-coloured

bananas.

Farmers

pick

them

when

they're

green.

That's

how

they're

shipped

to

stores.

They

turn

yellow

along

the

way

and

are

ready

to

be

sold.

If

you

love

bananas,you've

got

a

lot

of

company.

Americans

have

been

enjoying

bananas

since

the

first

shipment

arrived

in

the

United

States

in

1870.Today

Americans

eat

more

bananas

than

any

other

fruit.

More

bananas

are

sold

than

apples

and

grapes

together.

Every

American

eats

over

26

pounds

of

bananas

each

year!#51.The

first

paragraph

mainly

talks

about___.AA.why

B.how

Many

people

believe

sharks

are

one

of

the

most

dangerous

animals

in

the

world.

But

according

to

a

report,humans

bring

a

far

greater

danger

to

sharks

than

they

do

to

us.

Shark

attacks（攻击）

do

happen.

However,they

are

not

very

often.

Sharks

are

in

danger.

It

is

time

that

we

should

take

action

to

stop

many

kinds

of

sharks

from

dying

out.

Why

should

we

save

sharks?Because

killing

sharks

is

a

problem

for

the

whole

world.

Sharks

are

on

the

top

of

the

food

chain.

They

eat

other

species（物种）,but

few

species

eat

them.

As

sharks

die

off,the

number

of

other

species

will

increase.

This,in

turn,means

the

food

that

other

species

eat

will

become

less.

So

how

can

you

help

save

sharks?#1.1

Don't

use

shark

products.

Pet

foods,energy

drinks,leather

products

can

be

made

from

shark

parts.

And

shark

meat

is

sold

around

the

world.

Most

sharks

killed

worldwide

are

hunted

for

their

fins（鳍）,which

are

used

to

make

shark

fin

soup.

Sharks

breathe

by

swimming.

So

if

a

shark's

fins

are

cut

off,it

can't

swim

and

will

die.

If

you

eat

seafood,make

sure

the

food

you

eat

comes

from

fisheries（渔场）

that

care

for

the

sea.

Many

organizations

try

to

protect

sharks.

They

give

us

advice

on

how

to

keep

them

alive.

No

buying,no

killing!Maybe

that

is

the

best

way

to

save

sharks.#1.1.3根据短文内容，回答下列问题。1.Why
