6．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 plants．
Flowering plants can make seeds．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（胚芽）．Spores are 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 are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants．

40．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatA．
A．plants are important for life      
B．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the world 
D．we can not live without water
41．What can we infer（推断） from the passage？D
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
42．This passage may be taken fromC．
A．a medicine book                    B．a novel
C．a science magazine                 D．an experiment report
43．The underlined word"protected"in the third paragraph can be replaced byC．
A．damaged     B．polluted      C．prevented        D．guarded．

4．Do you want to have a close friend？Do you know how to make a good friend？Now，let me tell you．Before you make friends，you have to decide who you want to be your friends．Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do．
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile．When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to．It may not be easy at first to smile，but remember most people will stay away from a  scared or angry looking face．
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him．Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you．Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person？
Ask your new friends questions about themselves．Who's their favorite singer，where do they live，what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation．Make sure you have something to add to the conversation，too．When someone asks you a question，do have an answer for them．There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug （耸肩） for an answer．
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends．Remember，everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them．

66．What does the underlined word scared（  in para.2）mean？B
A．holy       B．frightening    C．happy      D．sad
67．The main idea isC．
A．how to start a conversation
B．how to praise a person
C．how to make friends 
D．the importance of making friends
68．What kind of people are easy to become friends？D
A．who are happy every day．
B．who often speak ill of others．
C．who are good at communicating．
D．who share the same interest．
69．If a person shrug，what does he/she mean？B
A．being very proud                   B．making no answer
C．being very happy                   D．be humorous

2．During the years of depression（萧条），food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other．
One day I was（36）Asome potatoes from Mr Miller．I noticed a small poor boy hungrily （37）Ca full basket of （38）Bgreen peas．Then I was（39）Ato see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble （弹球）．

1．Who buy the presents？How much should we spend？Questions about money like these （50）B  during the holidays，and they can turn this wonderful season into the most （51）C  time of the year．
The （52）Dcause of holiday stress is money issues，according to a recent poll by the American Psychological Association （APA）．The survey found that 61percent of Americans （53）A lack of money as the top cause of family tensions，holiday blues and depression．
"People believe that they can go out and buy gifts because it's the holidays，（54）Bthey can't afford to do so，"says Dorothy Cantor，a noted psychologist and former APA president．"Not only is it stressful to feel that you have to buy everyone an expensive gift，but you will also be stressed for the rest of the year trying to pay your （55）D．You can show love and caring by giving something that you know is meaningful and （56）Cthat doesn't have to cost a lot．"

19．Many people complain that their memory is bad，particularly as they get older．Life would be so much easier if we could remember things （51）A．So how can we improve our memory？
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember．While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory （remembering a telephone number for a few seconds，（52）D，psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long．The British psychologist E．C．Stanford seemed to （53）Bthis point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years．He found that he could remember no more than three words of them!（54）A，especially for remembering numbers，is‘chunking'（分块），or grouping the information．The following numbers would be （55）Bfor most of us to remember.1492178919931848．But look at them in‘chunks'，and it becomes much easier.1492 1789 1993 1848．

18．Make Albertsville Shine
After a long and snowy winter，spring has finally come to Albertsville．The leaves are out on the trees，and the grass is green again．All around town，people are cleaning up their homes．They are pulling weeds and planting flowers．They are sweeping yards and washing windows．Before long，Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin，right？

Sure，the volunteers work hard，but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town．Better yet，they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live．
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for？Talk to people in your school，church，or club about adopting part of a street or road．Then get to work!If enough volunteer groups get busy，Albertsville really will shine this spring．
