(A)
There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor (既不…也不…) too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering(提供) food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood (洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to understand the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

There are many kinds of tigers all over the world, and the largest tiger is Northeast Tiger. Most Northeast Tigers live in the northeast of China, like Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. Because there are many forests and mountains, the tigers usually like living there. In the forests and mountains, there are fewer people getting out and coming in. So the tigers are very free. They can run after each other, catch and eat some small animals, like rabbits and deer.
The Northeast Tiger are different from the ordinary tigers. For example, the Northeast Tigers can swim very well, but can’t climb the trees. The Northeast Tigers’ hearing is the best, and no matter how low the sound is they can hear it.
As the number of the tigers becomes smaller and smaller, we should protect the tigers as well as we can from now on.

In some places in North Africa, great cities once stood. There were gardens and trees and grass. But now these places are like deserts. Scientists have begun to study this land to find out what happened. Many of them think the land died when the trees were cut down. Trees help other plants grow. Tree roots hold the earth in place. They stop the soil from being blown away. In forests, leaves on the ground keep rainwater from running off. Trees near farmer protect growing plants from strong winds.
Once there were hundreds of farms in the Southwestern United States. Then the farms turned into fields of dry land, because few trees grow in the dry Southwest.

阅读下面短文,在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格一词)
Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two—thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

Allowing(允许) pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks (攻击) from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.
Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it's your duty to let it play inside.

Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Birdwatching Society.
First, let me introduce myself. I am a Grade 8 at No.6 Middle School. My favorite subject is Biology and English. I am interested in collecting the pictures of different animals and listening to music.
Last spring, I went to Zhalong Nature Reserve and took part in activities to protect birds with my friends, I enjoy the natural world, and I’m interested in learning different kinds of plants and animals. I want to know more about the birds.
Some people want to cut down trees. As a result, the number of the birds is becoming smaller and smaller. I think it’s important for me to do something to protect them. I can take part in activities all day every Saturday.
I will be very happy if I can be a member of the Birdwatching Society. You can call me on 0519-82835988 or email me at 8344506@.
Yours sincerely,
Zhao Yang
