People call it the “shy plant” because its leaves close at once when you touch them. Why does it do this? There is a small part at the base of each leaf called a pulvinus. When touched, water in the pulvinus flows to other parts of the leaf. The leaf loses water and becomes soft, so it closes up. This is a way to protect itself from animals that want to eat it. The Giant BaobabBaobab trees grow in Africa and Australia. They have huge, thick trunks that can store a lot of water—up to 120,000 litres! This helps them live in hot and dry places. Baobabs can live for more than 1,000 years. Their fruit is sweet and can be eaten, and their bark can be used to make cloth and ropes.The Night-blooming CereusThe night-blooming cereus is a kind of cactus. It only blooms at night, usually between midnight and dawn. Its flowers are big and white, and they have a sweet smell. But the bloom only lasts for one night—by morning, the flower fades. That’s why it’s also called the “queen of the night”.51．Which part of a newspaper can we read this passage?A．SPORTSB．NATUREC．CULTURED．BUSINESS52．Why do the leaves of Mimosa pudica close when touched?A．Because it is afraid of people.B．Because water flows in its leaves.C．Because light makes it close.D．Because it wants to get more water.53．What can we learn about baobab trees?A．They store much water in their trunks.B．They only live for a few years.C．Their fruit has a strong smell.D．They grow in cold places.54．The best title for the third part is ________.A．A Cactus That Grows FastB．A Flower That Blooms at NightC．A Plant With a Strong SmellD．A Cactus With Big Leaves55．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Different kinds of cacti.B．How to protect rare plants.C．Amazing natural plants.D．Plants in different countries.C①When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered (濒危的) animals.②The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometres. There are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colours.③There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What's more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards.④Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can't build anything or live there. They can't even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It's probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there.56．How does the writer start the passage?A．By asking questions.B．By telling a story.C．By giving an example.D．By listing numbers.57．What can we see in the Valley of Flowers?A．Trees, grass and elephants.B．Flowers, trees and whales.C．Flowers, trees and monkeys.D．Flowers, grass and snow leopards.58．What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The trees.B．The animals.C．The flowers.D．The wild plants.59．What is the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．60．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．The facts about the Valley of Flowers.B．The beautiful scenery of the Himalayas.C．The problems of some national parks in India.D．The reasons why the Valley of Flowers is popular.五、补全对话（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 分）根据对话内容，选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。Alice: The weather is so nice today.
