His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future._______. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers.Bert stared a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails/ “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cut insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said.Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.( )1.

And there were many dinosaurs and they lived everywhere on Earth. There were once more than 1,000 kinds of dinosaurs. Some of them were no bigger than chickens. Small dinosaurs could be 97cm tall, and big dinosaurs could be 15m tall. All of them had very small brains (大脑). Later on, there weren’t any dinosaurs. What happened to them? Scientists spent 10 years collecting a lot of information about dinosaurs to show to the world. In the days of dinosaurs, the whole Earth was warm and wet. There were many green forests. But the Earth changed slowly all the time. When parts of the Earth became cold and dry, the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough food to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out. What’s another reason? We can make a guess. New kinds of animals came to the Earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs. Some ate dinosaur eggs too. There may be other reasons that we do not know about. Each year, people can find some dinosaur footrprints (脚印) and bones. Scientists are trying to tell us more about dinosaurs. People think dinosaurs are amazing, so they star in many movies. But to scientists, why the dinosaurs died out is more important. The reasons for dinosaurs dying out might also be dangers to human beings.( )1. The numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us _________.Big dinosaurs could weigh 1,000 kg B. dinosaurs were not always the sameC. Scientists knew everything about dinosaurs D. dinosaurs lived on Earth for 65 million years( )2. How was the weather when there were dinosaurs?Cold B. Snowy C. Dry D. Wet( )3.

What is the purpose of the passage?To tell us the look of dinosaurs.To show when dinosaurs were born.To talk about why dinosaurs died out.To share the living places of dinosaurs. 第三课时单项选择 ( )1.

Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush against trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses grow and cover everything like a soft green coat. Plants in cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to grow stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren’t they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in a cool place. It’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes.Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it’s too late!( )1. What kind of weather can be expected in a cloud forest? It rains almost every day. B. It is always sunny.C. It is very windy. D. It is very cold.( )2.

(2)(4)(5) d. (3)(4)(5)( )4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?We can use healthy food crops to make medicine for headaches.Hundreds of mosses grow because ti’s always sunny in cloud forests.The animals are losing their homes because people cut down many trees.Plants need more water to become strong so they grow on the high parts of trees.( )5. What’s the main purpose of this text?To save the cloud forests. B. To introduce plants in cloud forests.C. To describe the cloud forests. D. To discover animals in cloud forests. (B)Rivers are one of our most important natural resources. Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海), however, is the Amazon in Brail. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake from behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluter with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of this natural resource.( )6. The greatest river for navigation is ________.the Amazon B. the Nile C. the Mekong D. the Mississippi( )7. Which is wrong?The Nile is India. B.

The best title of the passage is ________. Rivers in Cities. B. The Importance of Rivers C. Transportation. D. Natural Resources阅读还原 Trees are pretty much amazing in every way!

We live with trees, rivers, and animals every day. They give us fresh air, clean water, and food. So we need to be good friends with nature.But sometimes, people forget to protect nature. Some cut too many trees, making birds lose their homes. Some throw rubbish into rivers, making water dirty. Some even hurt small animals. These things are bad for nature and us too.To live in harmony with nature, we can do small things. We can plant trees in spring, save water when washing hands, and never throw rubbish everywhere. We can also tell our friends to love animals.Nature is our best friend. If we protect it, it will give us more beauty and happiness. Let’s work together to live happily with nature!And what can they do in the space?Where are they now?Who’s the science teacher?Yes, there is.Is there any water in that station?natural resources; play an important role; take action to; no wonder; charge a phoneLook carefully at its branches!Trees actually keep us healthy!Branches then come out from the trunk in all different directions.They make their own food by changing sunlight and air into sugars.They keep us healthy, provide us with food, and can point us in the right direction.
