"Yes，I would like her aloe （芦荟）in the orange pot，please."Sometime around 1975，Grandma received this plant from a local cook as a gift.It could，I suppose，just be anything like a calendar，or a pen，or a box of biscuits.But it just happened to be a plant，which Grandma，who always had green fingers，appreciated and placed in her doorway.Five years later，my mum married the cook's son.And had me.When my father's mother died in 1993，Grandma told me how this plant was different from the other ones she had in her home.It helped to keep a good relationship between the two sides of the family.In recent years，whenever we visited Grandma's apartment，I would show it to my children. "Look at this，it was a gift your great﹣grandma bought for your other great﹣grandma!Before they became relatives!"Many times，Grandma gave me cuttings of this plant，in the hope that I might grow another.Yet，every time，I failed to take care of my offshoots （分支）.Aloe is hardy （适应力强）.However，if you over﹣water or under﹣water it，it dies.It doesn't mix well with dogs or under﹣heated flooring.In short，with my skills，I'm better off with a plastic one from a supermarket.But that didn't use to matter，because I could ask Grandma for another cutting and try again.Now I can't.So straight after I asked my uncle for this plant，I came up with the idea：the plant will go and live with Ann，my wife's mother，who can grow plants well and keep hold of Grandma's aloe﹣﹣﹣at least until I can be trusted to look after its offshoots.Then maybe one day I can confidently place the mother plant in my own home.At the same time，Ann will spread cuttings among her family members，as Grandma used to do.（1）Why did the author ask his uncle for the aloe？A.It was very valuable to him.B.He wanted to place it in his own home.C.He wanted to pass it on to his children.D.He wanted to give it as a gift to his wife's mother.（2）The underlined phrase "always had green fingers" in paragraph 4 means .A.always failed in growing plantsB.always made fingers greenC.was always good at growing plantsD.was a special gardener（3）According to the passage，this plant .A.can grow well with dogs in the houseB.may die if it is watered too oftenC.is easy to take care ofD.won't die if the floor is too cold（4）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage？A.The writer's parents might get married around 1980.B.The aloe was placed in Grandma's doorway before the writer's birth.C.The writer planned to leave Grandma's aloe to Ann forever.D.Ann can be trusted to look after the aloe well.（5）What would be the best title for the passage？A.Remembering GrandmaB.Passing Down Planting SkillsC.Caring for an AloeD.Planting Memories五、词与短语填空36．（10分）communicate / educated / take in / take up / enjoyable / sides / steps （1）The tea preparation is just as as drinking the tea itself.（2）There are many to a story and many ways to understand it.（3）It's very hard to air as you get near the top of Qomolangma.（4）Teenagers should be to take care of themselves from a young age.（5）Using the right language in different situations will help you better with people.六、综合填空37．（10分）As we know，Yunnan is a kingdom of wild fungi （真菌）that can be eaten.But do you know that fungi play an important role in environment？And they are a source （来源）of food and medicine.But w（1）do we know little about them？About two million kinds of fungi﹣more than 90% of all﹣have yet to be （2）（describe）by science，according to Rebecca Morelle，a science reporter for the BBC.In the UK alone，there are thought to be around 25，000 kinds of fungi ﹣five or six （3）（time）more than plants.Scientists are trying to find out more about this largely unknown world，but it is challenging.Dr Martyn Ainsworth，a senior researcher from Royal Botanic Gardens，Kew，in London，says，"We can grow a c （4）number in the lab，but there are a lot of fungi we cannot grow in the lab.This has （5）（hold）back our research.
