Without water, plants would die. Do you know how water gets from the roots of a plant to
the rest of the plant? The water travels through tiny tubes that form pathways to all parts of
the plant. This is similar to how blood flows in our bodies. And here is an experiment to
prove it.

60
1) Put a few drops of the red food colour in the glass of water.
2) Cut the bottom of the celery stick and place the celery in the water.
3) Leave the celery stick in the glass of water for several hours.
4) Remove the celery stick and cut it into pieces horizontally, that is, across the stern (茎).
Observation
Red food colour is present in all cross section from the bottom of the celery stick right up to the
leaves.
Explanation
The water, along with the red food colour, has been transported up the celery stick through the tiny tubes in it.
The experiment, therefore, proves that tiny tubes in plants enable water to reach all parts of the plant. The red
food colour shows where the water has travelled to in the celery stick.

B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12分）
My name is Evelyn Garrids, and I’m from the Philippines. Next month I’m going to go abroad. I’ve never
been to another country before. I’m going to go to the U.S. as an exchange student. I’m going to live with a host
family in a small town in Minnesota, in the north of the U.S.
I started planning and preparing for my trip last year. There was a lot to do! I did some (65) student
exchange programs, and then I applied. I also applied for a passport and got a student visa. After that, I attended
courses at the weekends about rules, how to survive, etc. My older sister Lucia studied abroad two years ago, so she
helped me plan my trip and showed me how to (66) my flight online.
I feel excited, and a little scared. Sometimes I say, “Lucia, I’ll probably be (67) ,” She says, “You’re
not alone. We’ll have video chats with you every day. And you’ll definitely meet new friends soon.”
My host family-the Jensens-sent me an email with information about the (68) in Minnesota. Winters
are cold! I emailed them said, “I don’t have any warm clothes!” They told me, “We’ll give you some of our warm
clothes!”
I bought a good guidebook online. The information about cultural differences is really helpful. People will
probably be very (69) me because I’m from a different country. They’ll probably ask me, “Do you eat
hamburgers in the Philippines?”(“Yes”.) “Is it cold in the Philippines?” (“Never”) I’ll try to answer cheerful!
As an exchange student, I’ll learn a lot about Americans and their culture. Lucia says I’ll also learn about
myself. And since I will be away from home for a long time, I’ll definitely learn to be more (70) . I hope
so and I’m really looking forward to my trip!

C. Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）
Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them?
These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office
every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the
number of offices will decrease. It’s sad, because people will lose most of their (71)s
skills like the ability to connect to others.
There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear (72)c . If you want to
read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your
favourite books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are
having a bath or a (73) s .
I think the number of people on the planet will continue to (74)i . There’ll be less space,
so we’ll need to change the way we live. Maybe we’ll live underground, or may be lots of people
will live together in a single house. It’s horrible! Life will definitely get (75)w than it is
now.
Our house might be (76)s in the future. If there’s an emergency, it will automatically
send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating
and the air-conditioning, so we’ll never feel too hot or too cold.
Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have
one. I think it’ll be a good and safe thing, because we won’t have so many road (77)a .
Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Sally woke with a sudden movement. She heard strange sounds; she could smell smoke. The room was full of
smoke. She coughed. What was happening? Her bedroom door opened with a bang and her mother ran in, her face
white.
Get up Sally, we have to go! Get dressed now! Her mother disappeared back into the house. Sally jumped
from her bed and opened the window. Screams and cries came from the streets below. Sally watched people throw
their things into carts, horses threading the ground, keen to leave.
“Hey, what’s happening?” Sally yelled .
“Fire!” her neighbour shouted back.
“Coming from Pudding Lane! Get out now Sally! No one is safe!”
Sally pulled her window shut and got changed as quickly as she could. Downstairs, she found her father,
mother and sister jamming their things into a handcart. They watched people trying to put out the big fire with
leather buckets full of water. It didn't seem to make any difference, as the fire jumped from one building to the next.
“The houses are so close together and made of wood!” Sally noticed, as she tripped over candlesticks, burnt
pans and odd bits of furniture that people had dropped in the streets.
The grocer’s boy, Tom Winter, saw Sally and said, “Some people are going to St. Paul’s Cathedral to stay safe.
Made of stone. Won’t burn like wood.” Sally nodded, but followed her parents down the dark street.
They walked and walked. Finally, they arrived at Moorfields. It was a wide-open space with no buildings toburn. They were safe.
78. Sally’s house was on fire, wasn’t it?
79. Why did Sally cough?
80. Where did the fire start?
81. How were people trying to put out the fire?
