Passage 1
The Power of Plants
Plants are more powerful than we think. They provide us with so much, from the food we eat
to the air we breathe. Let's look at some of their amazing abilities.
First, plants can make their own food through photosynthesis. They use sunlight, water and
carbon dioxide to produce glucose, which is their food. During this process, they release
oxygen, which is essential for animals and humans to breathe.
Second, plants can adapt to different environments. Some plants grow in the desert, where
there is very little water. They have deep roots to reach water underground and thick leaves to
reduce water loss. Other plants grow in the rainforest, where there is plenty of water and
sunlight. They have large leaves to catch as much sunlight as possible.
Third, plants are used in many industries. The pharmaceutical industry uses plants to make
medicines. The construction industry uses wood and bamboo from plants to build houses.
The fashion industry uses cotton and linen from plants to make clothes.
In conclusion, plants are not just part of the natural world—they are essential to our daily
lives. We should respect and protect them.
73. What do plants produce during photosynthesis （ ）

Passage 2
Amazing Plants in Our Lives
Plants are all around us, and they play a huge role in our daily lives. Let's explore some of the
ways they impact us.
Food is one of the most obvious ways plants help us. We eat fruits like apples, bananas and
oranges. Vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and lettuce are also from plants. Even the grains
we use to make bread and rice come from plants. Without plants, we would have no food to
eat.
Medicine is another important use of plants. Many traditional medicines have been made
from plants for centuries. Even today, modern medicine still uses plants. For example, aspirin,
a common painkiller, was originally made from willow bark.
21 世纪教育网()
Plants are also used in building and furniture. Wood from trees is used to build houses, tables
and chairs. Bamboo is a popular material for making furniture because it is strong and grows
quickly.
Plants also help the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas,
and release oxygen. This helps to reduce air pollution and combat climate change. They also
provide homes for many animals, from birds to insects.
In short, plants are amazing and essential. We should be grateful for all the ways they help us
and work to protect them.

五、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
Passage 1
The Power of Plants
Plants are more powerful than we think. They provide us with so much, from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Let's look at some of their amazing abilities.
First, plants can make their own food through photosynthesis. They use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose, which is their food. During this process, they release oxygen, which is essential for animals and humans to breathe.
Second, plants can adapt to different environments. Some plants grow in the desert, where there is very little water. They have deep roots to reach water underground and thick leaves to reduce water loss. Other plants grow in the rainforest, where there is plenty of water and sunlight. They have large leaves to catch as much sunlight as possible.
Third, plants are used in many industries. The pharmaceutical industry uses plants to make medicines. The construction industry uses wood and bamboo from plants to build houses. The fashion industry uses cotton and linen from plants to make clothes.
In conclusion, plants are not just part of the natural world—they are essential to our daily lives. We should respect and protect them.
What do plants produce during photosynthesis （ ）
A. Carbon dioxide and glucose B. Oxygen and glucose
C. Water and oxygen D. Sunlight and water

Passage 2
Amazing Plants in Our Lives
Plants are all around us, and they play a huge role in our daily lives. Let's explore some of the ways they impact us.
Food is one of the most obvious ways plants help us. We eat fruits like apples, bananas and oranges. Vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and lettuce are also from plants. Even the grains we use to make bread and rice come from plants. Without plants, we would have no food to eat.
Medicine is another important use of plants. Many traditional medicines have been made from plants for centuries. Even today, modern medicine still uses plants. For example, aspirin, a common painkiller, was originally made from willow bark.
Plants are also used in building and furniture. Wood from trees is used to build houses, tables and chairs. Bamboo is a popular material for making furniture because it is strong and grows quickly.
Plants also help the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, and release oxygen. This helps to reduce air pollution and combat climate change. They also provide homes for many animals, from birds to insects.
In short, plants are amazing and essential. We should be grateful for all the ways they help us and work to protect them.
