Ⅲ.阅读理解(10分)
Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why dry deserts are almost not covered by trees or grass everywhere.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built(被建造) on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on the beach has almost no food for plants.

（）21.According to the passage, plants need things to grow well.
A.two B.three C.four D.five

（）22.What does the underlined word “cracks” mean in Chinese?
A.缝隙 B.表面 C.夹层 D.底部

（   ）23.From the passage, we can know it is 　　　　for plants to grow in dry places.
A.easy    B.difficult
C.impossible   D.important

（）24.The reason why most plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that 　　　　.
A.there isn’t enough sunlight
B.there is too much water
C.it is too noisy there
D.it has little food for plants

（）25.The passage can most probably be found in a book.
A.science B.history C.travel D.maths

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(10分)
阅读下面短文,按要求完成26~30题。
The plants we keep in our homes can’t do much on their own. People need to put them in the sun and water them. Is there a way for plants to do these things themselves? A Chinese company has made a robot that can help plants.

The robot has six legs. It looks like a crab(螃蟹). People can put plants on the top of it, just like a flowerpot. The robot can take plants outside to enjoy the sunshine. There are sensors(传感器) on the robot. The sensors tell the robot whether(是否) the plant has got enough sunlight or not.

When the plant has had enough, the robot brings it back inside. In addition, the robot can tell you when the plant needs water by stamping(跺脚) its legs up and down. It almost looks like the robot is angry when you don’t water your plants!
