【题目】 ◆ Welwitschia mirabilis
Title: the world’s most resistant plant
It’s not pretty to look at, but welwitschia mirabilis is unique. It consists of only two leaves and a strong stem with roots. Two leaves continue to grow and the stem thickens and can grow to be almost 2 meters high and 8 meters wide. Its lifespan is 400 to 1,500 years. It can survive up to five years with no rain. The plant is said to be very tasty either raw or baked in hot ashes.
◆ Dionaea muscipula
Title: the Venus Fly Trap
Dionaea muscipula is the most famous carnivorous(肉食性的) plant due to the active and efficient nature of its unique trap. It may be famous, but it’s also threatened. It produces a short leaf that forms two sides of a trap. Each side contains some sensitive hairs. When it is touched two to three times, the trap will shut in less than a second, fast enough to catch flies and other insects. The leaf, once closed, produces some enzymes(酶) that slowly dissolve the insects and supply the plant with food.
◆ Rafflesia arnoldii
Title: the world’s largest flower
Rafflesia arnoldii, the largest flower in the world, is an exotic and rare plant. The flower is 3 feet across and weighs 15-24 pounds. However, you wouldn’t want to grow it in your garden. In a rainforest-type environment, it gives off a most unpleasant smell, which is somewhat like rotten meat. This is why it is often called the Corpse Plant by some natives of Indonesia where it comes. Its flowers only last for three days to a week.
◆ Euphorbia obese
Title: the Baseball Plant
Euphorbia obese is known as the Baseball Plant. Over-harvesting by plant collectors for its interesting and curious appearance has severely reduced the wild population. However, it has become very common now. By growing euphorbia obese in large numbers, many gardens have been working to ensure that the plants being traded and sold among plant collectors are not wild plants.
【1】From the passage, we know that __________.
A.welwitschia mirabilis is very beautiful
B.dionaea muscipula is famous for its trap
C.rafflesia arnoldii feels like rotten meat
D.euphorbia obese can be used as baseball
【2】According to the passage, rafflesia arnoldii __________.
A.shuts its trap two or three times in one second.
B.gives off a special smell to attract flies and insects
C.smells bad in a hot and wet environment
D.has a big flower, a strong stem and two leaves
【3】Plant collectors like euphorbia obese because __________.

【题目】 There is a huge need for shark fins (鳍) in Asian countries. As a result, many sharks are caught and killed. According to reports, sharks are being killed at an shocking rate (速度) of up to 273 million worldwide every year.
Some experts predict that if the killing continues at the current rate, many shark species will be lost forever. It can be very dangerous. Sharks are very important and they should be protected.
In a study of the east coast of the United States, 11 species of sharks were eliminated from their range. Of the 14 species of ocean life that those sharks used to eat, the populations of 12 exploded and caused great damage to the ecosystem. For example, the cownose ray (鳐) population was no longer kept under control by sharks and so grew out of control. As a result, the rays destroyed the population of bay scallops (扇贝), their favorite food. The scallop fishery, which had been in good condition for over 100 years, was destroyed completely. Also, the removal of the scallops most likely had an effect on water quality as they were no longer there to perform their function (功能) of cleaning the water.
Sharks tend to eat very efficiently (高效地), going after the old, sick, or slower fish in a population, keeping that population healthy. Sharks help keep many populations of ocean life to the right size so that those prey (猎物) species don’ t do harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populated. The ocean ecosystem is made up of very complex (复杂地) food webs. For the most part, sharks are at the top of these webs and are considered by scientists to be “keystone” species, meaning that removing them may cause the whole structure to fall apart. Therefore, we should protect sharks because doing so is to protect the whole ecosystem.
【1】According to the passage, in Asian, people kill sharks mainly because ________.
A.sharks are dangerous for peopleB.there are too many sharks
C.shark fins are in great needD.sharks often attack swimmers
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 4?
A.Fed.B.Removed.C.Charged.D.Protected.
【3】After the number of cownose rays greatly increased, ________.
A.water quality improved as wellB.bay scallops grew out of control
C.there are more food for sharkD.the local scallop fishery was harmed
【4】What can we know about sharks from Paragraph 4?
A.They can’t find enough food to feed on.
B.They never eat the old, sick or slower fish.
C.Their large populations can harm the ecosystem.
D.They play a key role in keeping the ecosystem healthy.

【题目】 Corn has been a significant part in American food since before European arrival. After the Civil War, grits (粗玉米粉), which is made out of corn, became a diet mainstay (支柱) because water-powered mills (磨坊) worked to grind dried corn. They were relatively inexpensive and could be eaten with almost anything, making it possible for everyone to enjoy.
Grits are usually cooked with water, cream and butter over the course of many hours. There can be varying types of grits from smooth to grainy. There are even instant grits for those without the hours to cook. Worth noting is that sugar is not typically added.
Grits can be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they're commonly used as a base, usually topped with seafood and a delicious sauce. It's a dish eaten by everyone from sitting presidents to blue collar workers in a variety of ways, both in fine dining restaurants and oily spoons.
Shrimp and grits is the most well-known dish incorporating grits, especially in coastal areas like Charleston, South Carolina. It was originally a fisherman’s breakfast, a hearty meal before a long day of work, and today, it's found on menus throughout the nation.
Chefs have also become creative with the dish, adding modern elements to the traditional. Mashama Bailey has a foie gras (鹅肝酱) and grits dish at The Grey in Savannah, Georgia. Edward Lee has prepared it like the porridge his Korean parents cooked during his growing up, but uses Kentucky's Wiesenberger grits. Nathalie Dupree has made her career on the dish with her cookbook titled “Shrimp and Grits," while Virginia Willis has the appropriately titled “Grits”.
【1】Why did grits become main food?
A.Because corm played a key role.
B.Because dried corn was extremely cheap.
C.Because the Civil War broke out.
D.Because water-powered mills turned up.
【2】What can we learn about grits from Paragraph 3?
A.They are popular among all walks of life.

C.They are placed on top of other foods.
D.They are expensive to purchase.
