We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.Plants are the worlds food factories. Plants take water from the ground and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖). Glucose is a kind of sugar. Using it as food, plants get energy and grow. Plants using sunlight to turn water and CO2 into sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). ChlorophyII helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green color.As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees know to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food making factories. As the green chlorophyII disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. These colors have been in the leaves all the time. We just cant see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyII.The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees is made from waste left in the leaves. It is mixture(混合物) of all these things. It makes the beautiful leaves during autumn.（1）The underline word chlorophyIIin the passage means in Chinese.A . 胡萝卜素B . 叶绿素C . 氯霉素D . 花青素（2）When they rest in winter, trees live on the food they store during the .A . summerB . autumnC . winterD . spring（3）Plants use sunlight to turn into sugar. A . water and chlorophyIIB . water and CO2C . CO2 and glucoseD . water and glucose（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A . Glucose is a kind of sugar and plants use it as food for energy and growing.B . Leaves turn red because sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn glucose into a red color.C . We cant see yellow or orange leaves in summer because the two colors are not in leaves.D . During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis.（5）Whats the main meaning of this passage?A . Whats photosynthesis?B . How and why leaves change colors?C . Different kinds of leaves.D . How the seasons change.24. （10分）根据短文理解选择正确答案。CSheep always follow each other and never really think about where they are going. Perhaps fashion makes us into “sheep”. Maybe we should find our own way and not follow the crowd. Everyone wants to wear top brand clothing. However, we should remember that clothes designers(设计师) study what ordinary people wear on the street. Then they make clothes like ordinary peoples for everyone. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual(个人的) finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable! That doesnt mean you will. That is to say, a model might look very nice in a shirt but that doesnt mean you will.The same goes for mobile phones. Young people are always asking me when to change my mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are always putting new functions(功能) on their phones but do we really need all these extra functions? I use my phone to call people and to send messages to my friends. I dont need a camera, Internet surfing or a calendar（日历） on my phone. Again, if you buy the latest phone, it will only be the latest phone for a month or so. Then something new will come out and youll be unfashionable again. You cant keep up with fashion all the time, so you dont need to follow the fashion.（1）The underlined word “sheep” means“_.”A . people who always follow the fashionB . a kind of animal which is whiteC . honest people who want to be fashionableD . black sheep which break laws（2）Clothes designers study what you wear on the street because_.A . they want to buy the clothes you wearB . they like your clothesC . they want to design fashion clothesD . your clothes are ugly（3）If you have a models clothes on, you_A . are sure to be beautifulB . may not look beautifulC . will be smarterD . will become a model（4）The passage is written mainly to _.A . explain what sheep areB . tell us to buy new mobile phonesC . tell students not to care about the clothesD . tell us not to be “sheep”（5）What can we infer(推断) from the article?A . Sheep which are out of date have been killed.B . The writer is a person who always follows the fashion.C . Fashion changes so quickly that we can hardly keep up with it.D . Fashion only exists among those fashion models.25. （10分） If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldnt find any in the market.”This is because of the recent craze(狂热) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(传言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(辐射)；second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didnt really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: dont believe everything you hear.（1）The recent craze of salt buying in China happened because of _.A . the earthquakeB . the rumorsC . the shortage(缺乏) of salt（2）When did the rumors start?A . On March 11.B . After March 11.C . On March 20.（3）According to the passage most of
