IV.　　　　　　　阅读理解（共20题，每小题2分）

阅读下面几段文字，理解文章大意，并从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and maths. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to remember some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. But they were all so successful(成功的). They invented so many things.

The reason for their successes is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

Robert Edward was blinded in a car accident nine years ago. He was also partly deaf because of old age. Last week, he was strolling near his home when a thunderstorm came near. He took refuge (躲避) under a tree and was struck by lightning(闪电). He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below the tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed, still half asleep. A short time later, he awoke, his legs were unable to feel anything and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine year. Doctors are sure that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they are unable to explain the reason. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of the shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored(康复) was by another shock.

Plants need green leaves to make food. A plant needs sunlight and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) from the air for making food and it also needs water and salts from the soil to make food too. There are certain cells(细胞) in the leaves which change carbon dioxide and water into sugar. To do this the cells need energy, which is from the sunlight.

Green leaves make food for the whole plant. A red leaf can make food too because under the red coloring of the leaf there are food-making cells. There are no leaves which are completely yellow, for they can’t make food.

The plant makes sugar for its food. In sunlight green leaves make a lot of sugar. The veins(叶脉) can’ t carry all this sugar away, so the leaves change the sugar into starch(淀粉), which is kept and so stored in the leaves. At night, the starch change back to sugar. It is then carried away from the leaves. Some of the sugar is used as food by the plant while the rest is stored as starch. In some plants, food is stored in the roots; in others it is stored in the stem and in leaves, fruits and seeds.
