Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb(拇指）”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.
Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.”
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?
Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.
Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter. One night they camped in an open air with a starry sky above. The elder villager, following the tradition passed down from ancestors, took out three blocks(块) of salt and threw them into the campfire to tell the change of weather in the mountains.
All people waited for the old man's "weather report": if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound(爆裂声), they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.
The elder villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. He urged the whole team to set out immediately. A young man in the group thought it absurdly(荒谬地)superstitious(迷信的) to "forecast the weather by using salt".
It was not until the next afternoon, the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm coming. In fact, the method used by the elder man could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity(湿度).That is to say, when a snowstorm approaches, lead to high humidity, the salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.
Young people often don’t mind the philosophy(哲学) of the old, regarding their ideas as out date and useless. To be honest, however, some beliefs in life are just like salt blocks that are distilled(蒸馏) from the sea: old as they are, they remain crystals(结晶), and carry with them deep memories of the sea.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。
【小题1】Why did the villagers go to the town?
| A．They wanted to buy some salt and food |
| B．They wanted to sell the salt and buy some food. |
| C．They wanted to check the old belief. |
| D．They wanted to forecast the weather by using salt |
| A．The salt in the fire will produce crackling sound. |
| B．The salt in the fire will produce no sound. |
| C．The salt will remain crystals. |
| D．The elder people will give us the weather report. |
| A．The villagers were always superstitious, especially the old man. |
| B．He didn’t believe the god and only believe the modern science. |
| C．He didn’t believe the traditional way could forecast the weather by using salt. |
| D．He thought the salt could tell us the weather. |
| A．到达 | B．远离 | C．追逐 | D．消失 |
| A．Young people shouldn’t believe the philosophy of the old. They are superstitious. |
| B．Salt blocks can carry the memories of the deep sea, so it can forest the weather. |
| C．All the belief in life are useful and can give us suggestions in our lives. |

A crow(乌鸦) is about twenty inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night.
Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns(轮流) like human beings(人类). It is easy to tell(判断) from crow’s sound if they are pleased or angry.

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. They get their food by eating plants and other animals. If you look carefully at plants around you, you will find there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are guarded by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many. 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(漂浮) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and sandy places, they usually grow into plants.
【小题1】The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____________.
| 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. |
| A．four | B．three | C．two | D．one |
| A．offered | B．protected |
| C．produced | D．saved |
| A．All the plants grow from seeds. |
| B．No flowering plants grow from seeds. |
| C．Only non-flowering plants grow from seeds. |
| D．A few of non-flowering plants grow from seeds. |
