One day, the emperor heard about this little bird39。s beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. When the emperor heard the nightingale39。s voice, he said, Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her. The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully too. The emperor was pleased. Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor was ill and he became very weak.

They taste good and you don39。t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050. One reason for this is climate(氣候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(數(shù)據(jù)) from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world39。s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield(平均產(chǎn)量) has reached tons of bananas per hectare(公頃). However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world39。s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out. Shouldn39。t bananas grow more easily if it39。s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing. Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow e from shoot cuttings(莖段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(種植園) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.(1)What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.People39。s love for bananas.B.The taste of bananas.C.The convenience of eating bananas.D.The future disappearance of bananas.(2)What might happen if temperatures keep going higher? A.More countries will start to grow bananas.B.Bananas will grow better in most countries.C.Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D.Bananas won39。t be as tasty as before.(3)What does Paragraph 5 tell us? A.What diseases bananas may suffer from.B.How bananas are grown.C.How diseases can easily kill bananas.D.Which diseases can kill bananas.(4)The passage is written to ________. A.offer tips for growing bananasB.explain why bananas may die outC.show the difficulties of growing bananasD.describe bananas39。 growing conditions9.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls。 and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink. Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most panies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影響) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future. Some parents are worried toofor example, Vanessa Holburn, thirtytwo, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I39。m worried that pink will not help them with that, she says. But not everyone thinks there39。s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn39。t
