Why do leaves change color in the fall? To answer this question, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen（氧气）and glucose（葡萄糖）. Oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll（叶绿素）helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

(83)随着夏天的结束秋天的到来，天变得越来越短。This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. ( 84)As the bright green goes away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

5. It mainly wants to tell us the reason why leaves change color in the fall

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了树叶为什么会在变黄，这要从知道树叶是通过水和二氧化碳，通过光合作用形成的，冬天没有足够的阳光和水，绿色的叶绿素从树叶中消失。

1.回答问题。通读 Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen（氧气）and glucose（葡萄糖）可知。故答案是Oxygen and glucose.

2.回答问题。根据文中 A chemical called chlorophyll（叶绿素）helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.可知答案是Chlorophyll.

3.英汉互译题。本题考查as引导的时间状语从句，根据比较级and+比较级，表示越来越……。可知是故答案是As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter.

4.汉译英题。根据go away表示消失；begin to do表示开始做某事，故答案 随着明亮绿色的流失，我们开始看见黄色和橙色。

5.随着明亮绿色的流失，我们开始看见黄色和橙色。
