根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的涂（A），错的涂（B）。
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot produce food from the air, water and sunlight as plants do. Animals get their food by eating plants or other animals which eat plants. So animals and man need plants in order to live.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering ones.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed. Some have two, three or four. Some have many. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana.
Most non-flowering plants don’t 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 the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.  
Plants are very important to life.
Both animals and plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight.
Banana is a fruit that does not have seeds.
All the flowering plants have many seeds.
Spores can grow into new plants wherever they fall.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

根据短文内容，从每小题A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks (块) of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 rooms. A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick the walls－it doesn’t taste good!”
People can go to __________ to visit the ice hotel in April.
A. Greenland             B. Turkey               C. Bolivia
The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because __________.
A. it has a long history        
B. it’s made out of salt      
C. the rooms stay cold all day
Where did the salt used for the hotel come from?
A. A salt factory.           B. The desert.              C. The lakes.
The underlined word “lick” means __________ in Chinese.
A. 摸                        B. 踢                   C. 舔
The best title for the passage is _________.
A. Unusual Hotels           B. Salt Desert              C. A Story of Juan Quesad

阅读下列短文，把A—E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整正确。
A farmer’s dog, Dolly, had babies, and the farmer needed to sell them. He painted a sign and put it in his yard.      1     , a little boy walked up to him.
“Sir,” he said, “I want to buy one of your dogs.”
“Well,” said the farmer, “these dogs are very expensive.”
“     2     ” asked the boy.
“Sure,” said the farmer. “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Dolly ran out from the doghouse and four little dogs followed her. The boy became excited.
Then, the little boy noticed another dog. This one was smaller.     3     
“I want that one,” the boy said, pointing to the little dog.
The farmer said: “     4      He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs.”
The little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. He showed a cast (石膏) on his leg and a specially made shoe. He said: “You see, sir,       5     , and he will need someone who understands.”

根据描述为下列人物选择应该借鉴文章中的哪条建议（将相应数字序号填在横线上）
How to Make Friends
1. It’s hard to make friends if you stay home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. Join a club or play a sport. Attend meetings or other groups. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
2. Learn from people who seem to have lots of friends. Watch carefully how they make and keep friends. Don’t copy all of the things they do, but try to notice what they do. Then try some of those things yourself.
3. Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. Don’t hide your strong points. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
4. Plan things to talk about with people. Find out what’s in the newspaper headlines, listen to CDs, learn about what’s new with your favorite TV or movie star. The more you have to say, the more people will be interested in having a conversation with you
5. Look people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you. It’s very difficult to have a conversation with people whose eyes are looking to the left, to the right, or at the floor. People may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
6. Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me.” Ask lots of questions and show an interest in their answers.
____4_______a. Tony is never sure what to talk about when he meets people.
____________b. Rose wants to know why her classmate, Cindy, is so good at making friends.
____________c. Adam stays home every weekend and watches videos.
____________d. Benson is a very good dancer, but he never tells anyone about it.
____________e. Martha doesn’t care for others. She always talks about herself.
____________f. When Pedro feels uncomfortable talking to someone, he starts to look away.
a____4__;   b.________;    c._______;   d.______;   e.______;   f._______

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world. It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find a job.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking in an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.
