For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring, usually between April and May. They are recognized(意识) by their red stem(茎), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions(洋葱).Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a longtime. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community.However, over the last 30 years, ramps popularity has grown quickly. They are now a highly-desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C.One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from foragers, who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This shot life is some reason for their popularity.And that popularity could lead Io their disappearance from Earth. In 1995, the local government in Quebee, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over-dug.The season is short, but it has not ended yet. If you are in the right place, you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）Why are ramps so popular in North America? A . Because they grow in spring.B .

D . （3）What does the word “they ” refer to (指的是)？ A . foragersB . rampsC . customersD . restaurants（4）Why were people stopped from selling ramps to businesses? A . Because ramps were in great danger.B . Because ramps smell polluted the air.C . Because it cost too much to grow ramps.D . Because the government wanted to make money.（5）Whats the best title for the text? A . Americans go crazy for ramps in spring.B . Americans have discovered a new vegetable.C . Ramps were once popular in North America.D . Ramps will soon be enjoyed all over the world.25. （20分）Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.The king called all his falcons together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He spent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “ it is unbelievable !” shouted the king. How could you make it happen?”The farmer replied,“Its very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”It is always the same to human beings.
