Leaves are nature's food factories．Plants take water from the ground through their roots．They take a gas called carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）from the air．Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose．Glucose is a kind of sugar．Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow．The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into gtue0∞is called photosynthesis（光合作用）．That mean’s “putting together with light”．A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen．Chlorophyll is green．It gives plants their green color．

As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. 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 on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food - making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples（楓樹）glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops．Sunlight and cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red．The brown color of trees like oaks（橡樹）is made from wastes left in the leaves．

46．The underlined word “chlorophyll” in the first paragraph means ______in Chinese．

A．葉綠素          B．氧氣            C．胡蘿卜素        D．蛋白質(zhì)

47．Where is carbon dioxide from?

A．Ground．      B．Roots．        C．Sunlight．              D．Air．

48．The way _______called photosynthesis．

A．plants get carbon dioxide from the air

B．plants take water from the ground

C．plants turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose

D．plants use glucose as food for energy to grow

49．Red and purple colors in leaves are made mostly in ________．

A．spring                  B．a(chǎn)utumn         C．summer                 D．winter

50．_________ in the leaves changes into red in autumn．

A．Sunlight        B．Water           C．Glucose                 D．Chlorophyll

Do you know that you can use your watch as a compass（指南針）on a sunny day? Take a watch and point the hour hand in the direction of the sun．Imagine a line which runs from the center of the watch through a point half way between the hour hand and number one．This line will surely point south．

If you know astronomy a little, you will understand why this works. In the northern half of the earth, the sun is in the south at noon. In Russia, the real noon is one o'clock. If at that time we point the hour hand at the sun, the hour hand and the number one will point south. That is why you must imagine a line which will run from the center of the watch through a point half way between the hour hand and number one. It will point south. If you are in the southern part of our planet, you must point number 12 at the sun. The line which you can imagine between number twelve and the hour hand will then show north.

51. When we carry out this experiment in the northern part of the earth, we should point at the sun.

A．number 12       B．the minute-hand     C．the hour hand   D．number one

52. What does the word "astronomy" mean in this passage?

A．天文學(xué)          B．地理學(xué)           C．宇航學(xué)         D．邏輯學(xué)

53. The passage tells us that we can use a watch __ on a sunny, day.

A．to study the weather                 B．to show direction

C．to enjoy ourselves                  D．to keep good .time

54. If you are in Australia, which tithe following is the ,right way to show north?

55. What's the best title for this passage?

A．Your Watch Becomes a Compass       B．The Story of a Watch

C．An Interesting Watch                 D．The Sun and a Watch
