    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.

       A. plants are important for life        B. plants cannot grow without air

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的詞數(shù)要求)

[1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are．One such expression is bigwig．

[2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs．As years passed，wigs began to get bigger．The size of a man’s wig depended on how important he was． The more important he was—or thought he was一                 ．Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．

[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person．A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star．They are big wheels because they are powerful．What they do affects many people．Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn．Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ．It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks．They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence．

[4]The top of something is the highest part．So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person．The expression is top banana．A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show．The funniest comedian is called the top banana．The next is second banana．And so on．Why a banana?A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object. The object was shaped like the yellow fruit：the banana．Top banana still is used mainly in show business．Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年福建省畢業(yè)班質(zhì)量檢查（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

    As bananas ripen， the green skin turns ye11ow gradually. Chemical changes occur in the f1esh of the fruit as well：starch（淀粉）changes to sugar；pectin（果膠）breaks down，losing its stiffness； and the f1esh softens.

Is ripening fruit a self－contained system， or is the rate of these changes affected by the environment？ We designed the experiment below to see if different atmospheres， produced by different packaging， affected the rate of ripening. You will vary the atmosphere surrounding unripe bananas and observe the effect on the ripening process。

Now set up the bananas in their environments as follows：

1. Put two green bananas in a paper bag and fo1d the top over to seal out the air.

2．Put one green banana and the very ripe banana in the other paper bag and fold over the top.

3. Put two green bananas in a plastic bag and seal it.

4. Wrap（包）one green banana tightly in a plastic bag.

5. Leave one green banana exposed to the air.

Leave the fruit a1one or five days to ripen. Ripening fruit“breathes”． This means that it takes up oxygen and gives off C02. Oxygen is extremely important and necessary for the chemical reactions involved in ripening. In addition, ripening fruit gives off another gas, called ethylene（乙烯）. Not only is ethylene a product of ripening fruit, it also promotes the further ripening of the fruit.

Paper bags tend to keep the ethylene in, but they allow oxygen and ethylene to pass through slowly. Plastic bags do not allow the free flow of oxygen or ethylene. In this experiment, the green banana in paper bag with the ripe banana should ripen most quickly. The green bananas in the paper bag should ripen faster than the bananas in the plastic bag. The banana left exposed to air has an unlimited supply of oxygen, so it will turn brown most quickly. You will notice that the side of this banana that rests on the counter will ripen more quickly than the other sides, because it has the

closest contact（接觸）with its own ethylene. The banana that is tightly wrapped in plastic has no oxygen supply and should ripen most slowly. Now can you see why bananas are sealed in plastic in many supermarkets？

72. What makes the green banana in Bag 2 ripen more quickly than the ones in Bag 1？

A. Ethylene from the very ripe banana.            B. The free flow of oxygen or ethylene

C. C02 from the very ripe banana.                     D. The limitation of oxygen supply.

73. How can we slow down the ripening of bananas exposed to the air？

A. To rest them on the counter.                                   B. To keep them in the basket.

C. To put them on the ground.                                     D. To hang them up from the ceiling

74. It can be concluded from the passage that          .

A. the ripening banana is a self-contained system

B. the rate of ripening bananas is affected by the environment

C. wrapped bananas experience no chemical changes to ripen

D. ripening bananas give off oxygen, C0, and ethylene

75. Why are bananas sealed in plastic in many supermarkets？

A. To make them ripen more quickly.                B. To make them ripen more slowly.

C. To make banana flesh soften.                        D. To turn green bananas yellow.
