答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共26分，每小题2分）

A

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的) plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢

3

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 seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.

25. What fact does the passage lead you to believe? A. Of all living things, animals are most important. B. Spores are seeds.

C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds. D. Without plants, man will die out.

26. The paragraph following the passage will be about ________. A. how plants can make food from air B. how spores grow into new plants C. why some plants have no seeds

D. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants 27. This passage is most likely to be taken from ________. A. a story book B

Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in the USA than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers quickly, so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in a lot of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.

Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called “Wendy’s” began to compete(竞争) with McDonald’s. Wendy’s said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else’s. The Wendy’s Company created the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny(极小的) bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it seemed that everyone began using the expression

B. a novel

D. a laboratory report

C. a science magazine
