Lichens (地衣) are difficult to see. They don’t move. They often mix into the living place. You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.
Lichens live on rocks, branches, houses, and even metal street signs. You can find these colorful organisms (微生物) almost everywhere — from deserts to rainforests, and from Antarctica to Africa. They’ve traveled in outer space, and some scientists think there might even be lichens on Mars.
What you probably don’t realize is that a lichen is more than a single thing. It includes two different types of living organisms: a fungus (菌類) and an alga (藻類). Neither of these organisms is a plant, so the lichen isn’t a plant either.
Through photosynthesis (光合作用), the alga gets the sun’s energy to make food for the fungus, which is the place for the alga to live in. However, the alga cannot leave the fungus.
Around the world, scientists have found tens of thousands of types of lichens. Many may not even have been discovered yet. As scientists continue to find new kinds of lichens, they are also working to understand how they are connected to one another. By putting together a lichen family tree, they hope to understand why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world.
Many researchers are trying to understand basic facts about the organisms and their connections. Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.
What do we know about lichens according to the passage?
A. They will die if they leave Earth.
B. There are more lichens than plants on Earth.
C. They look similar to the environment around them.
D. They are too small to be easily seen by people.
What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The way lichens live.
B. The natural environment of lichens.
C. The way lichens work as organisms.
D. The family tree of lichens.
Which of the following statements is NOT the scientists’ purposes of studying lichens?
A. To understand basic facts about them.
B. To creat a lichen family tree.
C. To understand how lichens are related to each other.
D. To understand why lichens can live in different places.
We can know from the passage that __________.
A. lichens can be used to better understand the environment
B. lichens don’t have any differences in colors or sizes
C. lichens don’t use photosynthesis like a green plant
D. scientists have discovered every kind of lichen

B
For years I wanted a flower garden．I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together．
But then we had Matthew．And Marvin．And the twins, Alisa and Alan．And then Helen．Five children．I was too busy raising them to grow a garden．
Money was tight, as well as time．Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, " Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know．"
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own．I started thinking again about having a garden．
I wasn’t sure, though．I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no - frills budget．
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by．I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard．I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches．Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn’t believe what I saw．There was a money tree in my yard !
I went outside to look．It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree．Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time．Love, Marvin．"
Marvin kept his promise, too．He dug up a nice ten - by - fifteen foot bed for me．And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis （棚架） , a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books．
That was three years ago．My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted．When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did．It feels like they’re right there with me．
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short．But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers．I’ll see next spring in my little garden．I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes—every time．
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees．But I know love does!
60．By saying "Do you see a money tree outside……, "the mother actually means "__________"．
A．Observation is the best teacher B．Seeing is believing．
C．The outsider sees the most of the game D．It is not easy to gain money
61．The best title for the passage would probably be_______________ ．
A．My flower garden B．Marvin helps to realize my dream
C．Love in Michigan D．Money grows on trees
62．The underlined word "no-frills" in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to ____．
A．wasteful B．tight C．absurd D．helpful
63．From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother is ________________．
A．divorced when she was young B．not caring for her kids any longer
C．alone but not at all lonely D．prouder

The huge Florida wetland known as the Everglades is a slow-moving river 80 kilometres wide but only a few centimeters deep. People call the Everglades a “river of grass” because sawgrass covers most of it. Sawgrass is not really grass. It is a plant that has leaves edged with tiny sharp teeth that can easily cut through clothes—and skin!
Travel in the Everglades is difficult. You cannot walk through shallow water because the sawgrass will cut you. The water is too shallow for regular boats. So, we use an airboat. An airboat is a flat, open boat. Like an airplane, it has a big propeller to move it. The propeller is fixed on the rear of the boat. It makes a tremendous noise, but it does the job. The boat skims along the water’s surface. Although we can still get lost in an airboat, at least we are above the alligators(短吻鱷).
While hundreds of different kinds of animals live in the Everglades, the most famous is surely the alligator. Once endangered, alligators are now protected within Everglades National Park. Visitors are likely to see them both on land and in water.
For a long time, dangers have threatened the Everglades. Around 1900, some people felt this precious wetland should be drained (排干). They said it was just a big swamp and not good for anything. In the 1920s, there was a land boom in Florida. People wanted to build homes everywhere, including in the Everglades. They built canals, levees (防洪堤) , and other water systems that stopped the rivers flowing into the Everglades. Factories were built near rivers that flowed into the wetland. These factories dumped poisonous waste that damaged the Everglades ecosystem.
? People are now working to preserve the Everglades National Park for the future. Right now, one big problem is the paperbark tree. This tree is an invader from Australia.
Paperbark trees soak up a lot of water. In the early 1900s, people brought them to Florida because they thought they would help drain the Everglades. However, the invaders adapted too well. Paperbark trees have taken over hundreds of thousands of acres of the Everglades and killed other trees. Scientists are cutting down these invaders or spraying them with herbicides (除草劑) to kill them. ?
1.Which helps to explain why it is difficult to travel in Everglades?

A．Airboats may make a very big noise. |
|
B．You may get lost when passing through. |
|
C．Paperbark trees soak up too much water there. |
|

2.Why do people use airboats instead of normal boats?
|
A．They have big propellers to move them faster than alligators. |
|
B．The propeller makes loud noise so as to scare alligators. |
|
C．Their flat bottom can skim along the water surface. |
|
D．They can watch alligators without hurting them. ? |
3.The following measures were taken to drain the Everglades except that people______. ?
|
A．built canals and levees to stop the rivers flowing into Everglades? |
|
B．built factories near rivers that flowed into the wetland? |
|
C．brought Paperbark to soak up water in Everglades? |
|

4.The underlined word "invader" probably means something______. ?
|

|
