We all know that most plants bend（弯曲） towards the sun to catch as much sunlight as they can. This 61 (call) “solar tracking”(太阳追踪). Sunflowers are a well-known example of this. If you observe a sunflower in the early morning, you will find it turning its face eastward; at sunset, its face will turn towards the west. But what if there’s no sun for the sunflower to guide its solar tracking? In other words, what happens if you take a sunflower out of the garden bed and keep it in a 62 (complete) dark room? Surprisingly, the sunflower will continue its solar tracking 63 sunlight. It will bend, even if there is not a single ray of light inside the dark room. This is a classic example of 64 scientists call a circadian rhythm(昼夜节律). It is a daily cycle of behavior that is inside of 65 (live) things. It’s not directed by the environment.
Sunflowers do follow the sun, but they don’t just “seek” sunlight. This is clear from the fact that sunflowers in 66 (dark) bend just as well. Although sunflowers don’t bend with any purpose in mind, some scientists think they 67 (develop) their solar tracking system over millions of years. According to this theory, the evolution(进化) helps sunflowers catch light more effectively, and the flowers 68 catch light best are more likely to survive. As a result of this 69 (nature) selection, we now have sunflowers that bend automatically(自动地). However, that only happens 70 sunflowers are young plants. After a certain stage sunflowers stop following the sun and only face east. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）

Last summer, together with several good friends, I paid a visit for Huangshan. I was amazing by the beautiful scenery and grand mountains at the first sight. It took us three hours to climb to the top of the mountain, which we enjoyed the cool wind and fresh air. There is no wonder that Huangshan is regarded as one of the most beautiful place of interest in China. That impressed me most was that people there were so friendly that they offered to help anyone who in need. The trip to Huangshan not only broadened my view, but also help me relax after a busy term. Therefore, I can’t wait to going there again.
