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:
61. 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
62. 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
63. 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
64. In the course of photosynthesis, ______is the prerequisite（先决条件）.
A. water B. chlorophyll C. temperature and moisture D. sunlight
65. 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
