Have you seen an apple tree when it's blooming The flowers start as light pink and gradually turn white.They make the air smell sweet, just like honey.Apple trees do this intentionally because they need bees.The sweet smell brings bees to them.
Bees are a bit choosy.They don't like flying when it's cold outside.Windy or rainy weather also stops them from going out.Apple farmers know their apples need bees.So,every spring,they buy bees and let them fly freely.Usually,they put one honeycomb for each acre ( 英 亩 )of the orchard( 果园) .
When the weather is nice,bees start their job. They go to apple flowers to collect nectar (花蜜) . While collecting nectar,their wings pick up the pollen.When they fly to another flower,they carry the pollen and help the flower get pollinated. Sometimes,a bee might use pollen from one kind of apple tree on another kind.That's why a delicious red apple seed might not grow into a delicious red apple tree.
Farmers use a way called grafting (嫁接 ) techniques to get the right apple trees.They take a small branch from a parent tree and connect it to a young tree.The two trees grow together.This way, there are many kinds of apples in the world.Next time you eat an apple,think about how bees and farmers help make it taste so good.
( )1.Why do apple trees make the air smell sweet
A.To attract bees. B.To grow better.
C.To make people like them. D.To produce more apples.
( )2. Which of the following are true according to the text
a.Bees like flying in cold and windy weather.
b.Grafting helps farmers get different kinds of apples.
c.Bees carry pollen to help apple flowers get pollinated.
d.Farmers put one honeycomb for each two acres of the orchard.
A.ab B.ac C.bc D.bd
( )3.What can we infer from the text
A.Apple seeds are very strange.
B.Bees can change the kinds of apple trees.
C.Farmers don't know how to grow apple trees.
D.The weather has a big influence on apple trees.
( )4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A.The Life of Bees B.The Kinds of Apple Trees
C.Famous Apple Lovers D.How Bees and Grafting Help Apple Farmers

There are about 200 kinds of chameleons(变色龙)in the world that scientists know about. 42% of these kinds of chameleons live in Madagascar.
5 Scientists used to think these animals do that to hide from danger.But now they know the main reason is to communicate with each other. Chameleons can change colours to draw other chameleons' attention or to warn them to go away. They can use their colours to show that they are angry or scared sometimes. 6 It turns out that they stay safe by moving backward and forward in a strange way.By moving that way, the chameleon looks less like a moving animal. 7
A chameleon's tongue is very long and moves very fast.To catch food,a chameleon hides in the trees until an insect walks by. 8 A chameleon can catch insects as far away as twice its body length.The end of its tongue is very sticky.When a chameleon catches an insect,the tongue shoots forward at great speed.And the insect is caught in a flash.
Chameleons are amazing animals.But like many other animals,they're in trouble. 9 This is because the forests and other areas where they live are disappearing or are being changed by people. And when the area is changed too much,it becomes difficult for chameleons to live there. Scientists are working to help the endangered chameleons by learning as much as they can about these colourful animals.
A.Many kinds of chameleons are endangered at present.
B.Chameleons are famous for their ability to change colours.
C.Then it shoots out its tongue to catch the insect all of a sudden.
D.Instead,that makes it look more like a leaf swinging in the wind.
E.So if colours are not for hiding from danger,how do chameleons stay safe
F.People don't know how to tell the differences between them.
G.Scientists haven't found out where they live or eat.

Many plants in nature can be great treasures to people.From the leaves to fruits,each part of a plant can be used for decorations, food and even medicine.And people have been using natural medicine for thousands of years.
When you have a fever or a toothache,you may take some aspirin(阿司匹林)to alleviate(减轻) pain.But do you know that the medicine comes from the willow trees (柳树) In the 5th century BC, the Greek doctor, Hippocrates, gave willow-based remedies to his patients to alleviate their pains.
In the 1800s,the British doctor William Withering happened to know that purple foxgloves had something to do with heart problems.So he started to work on the plant.After nine years of experimentation, he successfully treated 163 patients with the medicine of purple foxgloves.This natural medicine is still given to people with heart problems nowadays.
Many families may grow aloe vera ( 芦 荟 ) in their gardens.And leaves from the plants can effectively promote wound healing,particularly for burns and cuts.The Egyptian queen,Cleopatra, used this kind of amazing plant to keep her skin soft and young-looking.
Finally,we mustn't forget the power of garlic (大蒜).It thins and cleans the blood. It's good for stomach problems and coughs,and it's a natural antiseptic (抗菌剂) .So,the next time you have a cold at home, try a mixture of garlic!
10至13题每题答案不超过3个单词,14题 须用完整句子回答。
10.Many in nature have been used as natural medicine for a long history.
11.Dr Withering used purple foxgloves to treat patients with problems.

13.The writer introduces kinds of natural medicine in this text.

Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever going down.It was cold and wet in the redwood tree.There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree.
Finally the company decided to protect the tree Hill lived in.They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it.When Hill put her feet on the earth,she began to cry.But she continued to do other things to protect the environment.

Dear Bob,
I am so glad to hear from you.And I will tell you more about pandas.
As we all know,the panda is one of the best-known animals in the world.Pandas mainly live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China and live on bamboo.Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day.However,they are in danger.The reason is that the area of bamboo is becoming smaller,so pandas have less and less land to live on.We should set up more nature reserves to protect them and plant more bamboo for them to eat.
Let's take some action to protect pandas.
Yours,
Li Dong
