But did you know that nature can glow (发光), too?Scientists have found many glowing living things. Most of them live in the ocean. Some use their lights to talk to each other. Others use them to hunt, to mate (交配) or to protect themselves. The vampire squid (幽灵蛸), for example, uses a cloud of light to scare enemies.Scientists around the world are looking at this kind of light for new ideas. In 2013, the US company Gleaux said it has created the worlds first light-producing plant, the Daily Mail reported. It is a genetically-modified (转基因的) plant. It can glow like a firefly.Alexander Krichevsky, the companys founder (创始人), and other scientists hope that in the future, glowing plants could replace lamps and glowing trees could light up highways. Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in farming. Farmers could know when their crops need water or are ready to be picked if they glow.While Gleaux is working on glowing plants, the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria (细菌) to light up shop windows and street signs. Its the same type of bacteria that cause a type of squid to light up, New Scientist Online reported.Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light, said Glowee founder Sandra Rey. We want to help reduce the 19 percent of electricity consumption (消耗量) that is used to produce light.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about glowing animals? A . They use electricity to light up the night sky.B . Some of them use their light to talk to each other.C . They only live in the deep ocean.D .

A . the worlds first light-producing plant will be createdB . glowing plants will be used as lampsC . crops will be able to talk to farmers by glowingD . electricity could light up shop windows（3）Whats the purpose of Glowees research on glowing bacteria? A . To compete with the US company Gleaux.B . To create the brightest light in the world.C . To change the way we produce and use light.D . To help produce more electricity in the future.（4）What is the best title of the passage? A . How to light up the skyB . Plants light our livesC . The reason for saving electricityD . The way to produce light2. （4分）阅读理解 Long, long ago people made fires from lightening(闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldnt start it again if there was no lightening.

Afte4r a few minutes they got a fire.Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and make a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use and electric fire starter.

Have you ever watched one of them-Canada geese(雁) ? They can teach us a lesson about teamwork(合作).In autumn, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada cold winter. When they leave the ground and rise into the air, they fly in no order. Then they quickly form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.The V shape allows Canada geese to save energy. The head bird moves its wings(翅膀) up and down. The resulting(产生) force of the air helps lift the next bird. Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part. The bird at the head of the group has the hardest job. When it gets tired, another bird moves to the front and takes its place(代替它). By sharing this job, the group can travel great distances. Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone.During the long flying journey, Canada geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination.What have we learned from the lovely Canada geeses experience and skills? Work together! Whether in our personal lives or our job, we need the spirit of teamwork!（1）Because of Canadas cold winter, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south in autumn. （2）When the head bird gets tired, another bird moves to the front and becomes a new head bird. （3）Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventeen percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone. （4）During the long flying journey, Canada geese hardly cheer one another up while working toward the same destination. （5）From the passage, weve learned that the spirit of teamwork is important to us. 4. （4分）阅读短文，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Whats the weather like?
