阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卷上标有题号的横线上。
Jenny liked planting flowers in her yard. Her grandfather used to teach her how to plant and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.
One day, while she was looking through a flower list, a picture of a plant caught her eyes at once. Jenny had never seen a flower like that before. “I must have it,” she said to herself, and she ordered it.
When it arrived, Jenny planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she felt disappointed. She wondered why her plant hadn’t bloomed(开花). She wanted to cut it down and plant something else in its place.
However, at this moment, her disabled neighbor invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I enjoy the flowers that you have planted!” The young woman walked into her neighbor’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.
They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers that she had ever seen. The plant grew up through the crevices(裂缝) in the wall. It did not flower on her side of the wall, but flowered on the other side.
If you don’t see the good result, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t successful.
1.What did Jenny’s grandfather teach Jenny?
2.Why was the disabled neighbor thankful to Jenny?
3.Do you like planting flowers? Why or why not?

When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like Interstellar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers, right? Think again.
Animated(动画) movies use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting(融化) or blowing in the wind.
Mathematicians（数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. Joseph Teran, a mathematician at the University of California, US, faced this challenge with Frozen, according to the Society for Science and the Public.
He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies had done in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this.
Science is important for superhero movies too. Superheroes are supposed to have special powers that can’t always be explained. But moviemakers still want to make their actions realistic(现实的).
For example, Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie , Tony Stark also makes new elements by making atoms collide(使原子对撞)，much like scientists do in real life.
So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it.
1.A lot of science and math are used in animated movies to _______.
A. make them like Interstellar and The Martian

2.The example of The Avengers in Paragraph 6 is used to show_______.
A. how superheroes have super powers
B. how science makes action realistic
C. Iron Man’s suit is made of light materials
D. how Tony Stark makes new elements
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Every movie should be made to look as realistic as possible.
B. Science and math play important roles in movie making.
C. Animated movies use less science than other movies.
D. Scientists can make things in movies become real.
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you
might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
1.Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually _______.
A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting
2.What is a bird’s “territory”?
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A. Because they want to invite more friends.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
4.How does the writer explain birds’ singing?
A. By comparing birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds’ daily life. D. By telling a bird’s story.
