　　三、阅读理解：阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。(40分)

　　Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

　　To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

　　Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.

　　Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

　　What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

　　31.According to the passage, plants need ______ things to grow well.

　　A. two B. three C. four D. five

　　32. What does the underlined word "cracks" mean in the text?

　　A.缝隙 B.表面 C.夹层 D.底部

　　Last week，all the teachers and students of our school watched a special performance by some disabled(残疾的)people.The first program was a dance named “The light of life”.To my surprise，all the dancers had lost one of their legs.As they were performing，I could see how they had to face so many difficulties.However，they showed us many wonderful programs.From these programs，I could see how lively their minds were.

　　The two persons who came out next shocked us all.The first one was a singer.He was very young but unfortunately he had lost both of his hands in a big fire.The song he brought us was “Late Autumn” and he sang it in such a low and sweet voice.Though it was warm spring， I felt a little cold when I heard the song as if it was really late autumn.“How much love and feeling is hidden in my heart? I wish to hold your hands again.” Hearing this，I couldn’t keep back my tears.

　　The other one was also a young man.He lost both of his arms when he was six.From then on，his feet became his “hands”.However，he could manage a number of things with his feet.What moved us most was his feet writing.The two words “Flying High” expressed his wishes.

　　“If your wings are gone，your heart can still fly，” said Zhang Haidi，a disabled writer.

　　In the world，there are many disabled people，yet most of them don't give in(屈服).They have strong wishes and beautiful dreams.Just as Zhang Haidi said they could fly.

　　Disability doesn't mean complete failure.Once you try hard，miracles(奇迹)will happen sooner or later.I believe where there is a will，there is a way.

　　shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn “I would not leave her out in the cold!” he said.

　　Millie had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.

　　The relationship between student and teacher is less formal(正式的) in the U.S. than in many other countries , especially at the college level.

Most teachers allow students to enter class late or leave early, if necessary.

　　(3)However, students are still asked to be____________ to their teacher and classmates and to be ____________ during a test. When students want to ask questions, they usually put up a hand and wait. When the teacher or a student is speaking to the class, it’s rude to talk to another classmate, even in a low voice.
