Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green Chlorophyll.
Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.
1. The underlined word “chlorophyll” in the first Para means________in Chinese.
A 叶绿素 B 氧气 C 胡萝卜素 D 蛋白质
2.The way ________is called photosynthesis.
A. plants get CO2 from the air
B. plants take water from the ground
C. plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.
D. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.
3.The gas called carbon dioxide is from the ________
A ground B roots C air D sunlight
4.Which of the following is not true?
A. when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.
B. During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.
C. During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.
D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become interested in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and have to rush off to keep some forgotten appointment.
This chance to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can walk around such a place to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will come up to you with the greeting "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't borrow it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from his usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone tries to buy it !"He said, and left the delighted student continuing his reading.
1.According to the passage the main attraction of a bookshop is that ________.
A. people can learn something from books
B. it can be a shelter from a sudden rain
C. it is the surrounding of new knowledge
D. it offers a chance to get free from realities

A. always greet customers pleasantly and warmly
B. help the readers to find what they want to read
C. not say a word to the customers while they read
D. not stand behind the bookshelf all the time
3.The underlined word "beckoning" in the last paragraph means ________.
A. waving somebody to come up B. laughing at a person openly
C. shouting at somebody angrily D. shaking one's head to show disagreement

Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe．The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form．The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.
Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living．From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays．In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.
Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society．Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (从事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small．Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.
The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity．Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American．The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.
1.In describing the uniformity in the U.S．the author does not mention that the American people ________.
A．get up and go to work at the same time
B．spend their holidays in the same pattern
C．buy and eat the same kind of food
D．have more or less the same income
2.What can we learn from the passage about the U.S．agriculture?
A．The American farmers need more land.
B．Americans are interested in farming.
C．It is now going backward.
D．It is quite developed.
3.The last paragraph suggests that ___________.
A．the production size in the United States is very big
B．a single economic unit produces the same kind of products
C．there are more and more competing manufactures
D．people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.
4.The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to________.
A．in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses
B．in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc
C．in their land, housing and bank savings
D．in their wealth and income
