  本文教給我們?nèi)绾畏N植貓草以及如何用瓶子制造音樂。

1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一欄的buy at plant stores可知，可以在植物商店購(gòu)買貓草種子。

2. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一欄的HERE’S HOW中的內(nèi)容可知，種植貓草正確的順序應(yīng)是:把泥土裝進(jìn)花盆—往泥 土里加水，使其稍微濕潤(rùn)—把貓草種子撒在土上—按壓貓草種子使其入土—最后再次給泥土澆水。由此可 知A項(xiàng)為正確答案。

3. A同義猜測(cè)題。由下文的one to two weeks可猜測(cè)此處指 貓草種子發(fā)芽的時(shí)間，由此猜測(cè)sprout意為“發(fā)芽”。

4. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二欄的HERE’S HOW中的“Arrange the bottles in order from most to least full. ” 可知，瓶子是按照順序排列的，由此可知C項(xiàng)與原文內(nèi)容不符。

5. B主旨大意題。第二欄的最后一段主要告訴我們吹瓶子制造的聲音有高有低的原因，故選B項(xiàng)。
