A
Generally speaking, most plants are green. The green matter in plants is given a scientific name: chlorophyll. When the sun shines upon plants, chlorophyll will produce some kind of special sugar-based substances that keep the plants alive.
It has long
been known that when exposed to sunlight under suitable conditions of
temperature and moisture（湿度）, the green parts of plants absorb carbon dioxide（
）from the atmosphere and release oxygen to it in return. These exchanges
are just the opposite of those which take place in human and animal’s
respiration（呼吸）. The course in which plants take in carbon dioxide（）and release oxygen（O）is called photosynthesis.
In
photosynthesis, carbohydrates（碳水化合物）are formed from carbon dioxide（）and water（
）by the green matter（chlorophyll）of plant cells in the presence of sunlight. Oxygen is the product of
this chemical reaction. For each molecule（分子）of carbon dioxide（）used, one molecule of oxygen is produced. Therefore, such a chemical
equation（反应式）for photosynthesis can be summed up as the
following:
（ ）36. In photosynthesis, the combination of carbon dioxide and water to form sugar results in the production of __________.
A. chlorophyll B. carbon C. hydrogen D. oxygen
（ ）37. In photosynthesis, water _________.
A. must be present
B. is produced in carbohydrates
C. is stored as chemical energy
D. is the only substance that keeps plants alive
（ ）38. The thing that a person does in his respiration is _________ photosynthesis.
A. almost the same as B. rather similar to
C. the opposite of D. rather different from
（ ）39. In the course of photosynthesis, __________ is the prerequisite（先决条件）.
A. water B. chlorophyll C. temperature and moisture D. sunlight
（ ）40. The title that can best express the main idea of this passage is __________.
A. The Function（作用）of Chlorophyll
B. The Course of Photosynthesis
C. A Well-known Chemical Equation
D. The Production of Sugar

Dear Marie Lin, 10 April, 1999
I’ve got two tickets for the Modern Art Exhibition which you’ve been longing to visit. For some reasons you will have to ride your bicycle to the China’s Art Gallery this Friday afternoon. Enclosed with this letter is a map that will show you how to ride there from your school. There is no problem, I think, for you to get to Xuan Wu Men. At Xuan Wu Men, go straight up to the north. You’ll have to ride across two crossroads: the Xuan Wu Men Crossroads and the Xi Dan Crossroads. When you get to the place called Xi Si T-Square Street, turn to the right and go straight to the east. After you pass by Bei Hai Park and Jing Shan Park, please continue going to the east. When you nearly get to the crossroads of Dong Si Street, you’ll see a beautiful Chinese-styled Building. That is the China’s Art Gallery. I’ll expect you at the gate at 3: 00 pm. Let’s see each other at 3: 00 pm.
With best wishes to you.
Truthfully yours,
Tom Jackson
