A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction, ” according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.
U. S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.
24. How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered
A. 13. B. 28. C. 48. D. 50.
25. Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee
A. Planting native plants.
B. Reducing the use of pesticide products.
C. Leaving plants alone.
D. Cutting out plants regularly.
26. What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text
A. All the states declared it as endangered species.
B. It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly.
C. It is beneficial to land owners.
D. It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.
27. What ’s the best title for the passage
A. Bumblebee added to U. S. endangered species list
B. Why bumblebee is on the brink of extinction
C. Take steps to help bumblebee
D. The benefits of protecting bumblebee

On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout. Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful; anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances — sometimes over 150 kilometers. It ’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico In Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change, global warming and many reports of terrible natural disasters, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs
28. What was the rain like on 24 August 1918
A. It was very heavy.
B. It fell around England.
C. It lasted quite a long time.
D. It caused many human deaths.
29. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland
A. They were few in number.
B. They came in different sizes.
C. They were still alive when landing.
D. They probably came from the North Sea.
30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Clouds.
B. Waterspouts.
C. Strong winds.
D. The waters of the sea.
31. In the end, what does the author probably care most about
A. Our health.
B. Our environment.
C. The wild animals.
D. The news reports.
D
More than 100 scientists from 25 countries have traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds(种子) in an effort to help battle climate change.
The scientists, who have been compared to the heroes of the “Indiana Jones” movies, traveled on foot, four-wheeled vehicles(交通工具), boats, horses and even elephants to reach faraway areas. They faced extreme heat, dust, and danger from wild animals. At last, they collected 4, 644 seeds of 371 wild relatives of 28 world crops, many of which are said to be endangered.
The Crop Trust, an organization that works to save different kinds of crops, is directing the project. The group is working in partnership with Britain ’s Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support comes from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops ’ wild relatives. Hannes Dempewolf is a scientist and the head at the Crop Trust. He said“What these seed collectors went through in the field resembles scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. ”
Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, climate change and expanded cities. The newly-found wild seeds have developed so plants can grow in extreme temperatures, poor soils, and even in low rainfall areas.
A United Nations report says that food production is at risk because of a shortage of rain and other weather extremes connected to climate change. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization says that the number of plant species is quickly decreasing and people are depending on fewer species for food. Those wild seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population in some areas and offer a largely unused source of diversity(多样性) to crops.
32. What does the second paragraph show
A. Collecting seeds is not an easy job.
B. The scientists ’ story is made into a movie.
C. The wild seeds are in danger of extinction.
D. The scientists can choose from many vehicles.
33. What does the underlined word “resembles”in the third paragraph mean
A. Depends on. B. Looks like.
C. Turns out. D. Refers to.
34. What is the advantage of the newly-found wild seeds
A. They can increase green areas.
B. They can provide more nutrients
C. They can survive bad conditions.
D. They can improve existent crop seeds.
35. What is the meaning of the scientists collecting wild seeds
A. Bringing more plant species to the world.
B. Helping farmers improve their farming skills.
C. Knowing about the world ’s farming practices.
D. Helping battle climate change.

Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres, Limon Province, Costa Rica. He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit.
The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazón River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile(鳄鱼). When he stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile, he realized it had been shot through the head and then left eyes.
He knew, dangerous as it was, he couldn ’t leave the poor animal there, alone and helpless. Chito acted quickly, calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his boat. He knew if he could heal it, he would then send it back into the wild. He named the huge reptile “Pocho”, which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine, food, and more importantly, lots of care and attention. Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish. He bought medicine to prevent infection(感染) and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors. Chito gave him kisses and hugs. He talked to him and petted him. “The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live, ” he said. In time, Pocho improved enough to returned to normal health. It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild. Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a nearby river. The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Chito awoke the next morning, and walked outside.

概要写作
阅读短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When children can ’t go out for some reasons, they should eat their meals and snacks at home, which means not only adding a new stress (压力)for parents (e. g. , a lot more cooking! ), but also providing a new chance for parents to teach children cooking skills.
Helping children develop an interest in cooking when they ’re young can help them have the valuable life skill that they can carry into adulthood. Allowing children to help in the kitchen encourages them to learn where food comes from, and teaches them about nutrition and food safety(e. g. , the importance of washing fresh produce with clean water, or hand-washing before and after helping in the kitchen). Doing so may also help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. What ’s more, cooking and baking can be fun ways to spend time while bonding with family.
The key is finding tasks that suit children ’s age and ability, while still guiding and monitoring their progress. Activities that may attract a preschooler ’s interest in cooking include helping to wash fruits and vegetables and add toppings to a pizza. Older children can be given tasks such as measuring ingredients into cups or beating eggs. Proper cooking skills to introduce to the children aged between 8 and 10 include planning a family meal or following a simple recipe(食谱). By ages 10 to 12, once able to follow kitchen safety rules, many children can prepare more recipes, including meatballs, cookies and cupcakes.
Getting children to take part in kitchen activities may require patience as they learn. That ’s why it ’s helpful to have some extra time at home.

A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction, ” according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.
U. S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.

On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout. Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful; anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances — sometimes over 150 kilometers. It ’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico In Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change, global warming and many reports of terrible natural disasters, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs

More than 100 scientists from 25 countries have traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds(种子) in an effort to help battle climate change.
The scientists, who have been compared to the heroes of the “Indiana Jones” movies, traveled on foot, four-wheeled vehicles(交通工具), boats, horses and even elephants to reach faraway areas. They faced extreme heat, dust, and danger from wild animals. At last, they collected 4, 644 seeds of 371 wild relatives of 28 world crops, many of which are said to be endangered.
The Crop Trust, an organization that works to save different kinds of crops, is directing the project. The group is working in partnership with Britain ’s Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support comes from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops ’ wild relatives. Hannes Dempewolf is a scientist and the head at the Crop Trust. He said“What these seed collectors went through in the field resembles scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. ”
Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, climate change and expanded cities. The newly-found wild seeds have developed so plants can grow in extreme temperatures, poor soils, and even in low rainfall areas.
A United Nations report says that food production is at risk because of a shortage of rain and other weather extremes connected to climate change. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization says that the number of plant species is quickly decreasing and people are depending on fewer species for food. Those wild seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population in some areas and offer a largely unused source of diversity(多样性) to crops.

Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres, Limon Province, Costa Rica. He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit.
The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazón River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile(鳄鱼). When he stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile, he realized it had been shot through the head and then left eyes.
He knew, dangerous as it was, he couldn ’t leave the poor animal there, alone and helpless. Chito acted quickly, calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his boat. He knew if he could heal it, he would then send it back into the wild. He named the huge reptile “Pocho”, which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine, food, and more importantly, lots of care and attention. Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish. He bought medicine to prevent infection(感染) and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors. Chito gave him kisses and hugs. He talked to him and petted him. “The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live, ” he said. In time, Pocho improved enough to returned to normal health. It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild. Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a nearby river. The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.

Chito awoke the next morning, and walked outside. To his surprise, a crocodile was sleeping in his backyard. He recognized it at the first sight: it was Pocho. This crocodile had swum down the river and followed him home quietly. It seemed to Chito that Pocho had made its choice. It wanted to live with the man who had saved its life. Chito felt an unspeakable feeling that resonated in the heart of a father as he looked upon Pocho.
A closer relationship was formed between Pocho and Chito. They are inseparable now. Every day Chito wades into the chest-deep water in his little lake and calls out to his friend, who appears from beneath the muddy depths to roll about and play with its keeper, and then Chito would kiss it. Pocho can understand Chito gradually. The unique friendship has drawn the attention of tourists from around the world; more and more tourists come into town and visit Chito and Pocho. In order to welcome guests, they have performed a weekly act in his own backyard before hundreds of tourists.

阅读短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When children can ’t go out for some reasons, they should eat their meals and snacks at home, which means not only adding a new stress (压力)for parents (e. g. , a lot more cooking! ), but also providing a new chance for parents to teach children cooking skills.
Helping children develop an interest in cooking when they ’re young can help them have the valuable life skill that they can carry into adulthood. Allowing children to help in the kitchen encourages them to learn where food comes from, and teaches them about nutrition and food safety(e. g. , the importance of washing fresh produce with clean water, or hand-washing before and after helping in the kitchen). Doing so may also help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. What ’s more, cooking and baking can be fun ways to spend time while bonding with family.
The key is finding tasks that suit children ’s age and ability, while still guiding and monitoring their progress. Activities that may attract a preschooler ’s interest in cooking include helping to wash fruits and vegetables and add toppings to a pizza. Older children can be given tasks such as measuring ingredients into cups or beating eggs. Proper cooking skills to introduce to the children aged between 8 and 10 include planning a family meal or following a simple recipe(食谱). By ages 10 to 12, once able to follow kitchen safety rules, many children can prepare more recipes, including meatballs, cookies and cupcakes.
Getting children to take part in kitchen activities may require patience as they learn. That ’s why it ’s helpful to have some extra time at home.
