二、阅读理解
Dereck and Beverly are wildlife animal filmmakers (电影制片人). They have made lots of films about animals and plants. Their job is to keep and protect the big cats of Africa from damage (伤害). Beverly also takes photos of the lions, and her pictures have appeared in National Geographic magazine.
When they were kids, Dereck was quiet and healthy. He was good at maths and science. Beverly had a twin brother. At that time, she and her brother often got their mother into trouble! Beverly was a dancer, an athlete and a class leader. And she could play the piano (not very well). Her favourite subject was science and she always got excellent grades in her science exams.
When in the field, their work starts at around 4 a.m. After drinking a cup of tea, they drive out into the bush (灌木丛) to find their subjects. Sometimes that is a lion pride (群). Lions are family animals. They usually live in groups of fifteen or more. Sometimes that is a single leopard (豹). They follow the animals for the day, filming, researching, and collecting facts, information or pictures. They don’t stop working even when they have lunch. They are often back in camp by 8 p.m.
When talking about the favourite places to explore, Dereck says, “We live in it!” Beverly thinks being in nature is her favourite. Dereck thinks running or taking a swim in the Okavango swamp (沼泽)-especially swimming close to crocodiles (鳄鱼) is great fun, but Beverly says, “Swimming is fun but crazy in these waters!”

In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us.
Or can they A new TV show gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan. 10 on Bilibili, it tells the secret lives of plants, and the wonderful and unbelievable ways that plants work.
Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield”. Only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But other plants may catch them up and get a lift. Finally, they are both overtaken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. Similarly, some trees may give out something to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The TV show not only makes us amazed at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe.”, said David, the director of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.

A．showing numbers B．giving examples
C．raising questions D．making discussions
29．In the last paragraph, David probably agrees that ________.
A．plants are difficult to study B．houseplants also need our attention
C．plants play a big role in our lives D．many wild plants are endangered

四、任务型阅读
根据短文内容，简略回答下列问题。
Great Ants (蚂蚁)
Ants are everywhere! We usually feel angry about them. However, these little ones also teach us something.
Never give up
Have you noticed (注意) that when something is in front of ants, they do not sit down or become sad They just keep going.
One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug back to its nest (巢穴). A leaf in the way was a big problem, but the ant was not giving up. It tried very hard to work out a way. Finally, the ant got that bug over the leaf and into the nest.
Ask for help
Think about it, have you ever seen an ant move something too big by itself That never happens. When a load (负荷) is too big, the ant signals (发信号) to the others for help.
Why don’t we do more of this Sometimes, we are just too afraid to ask someone to share the load. Sharing can make our life much easier.
Think winter in summer
Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat. So when the cold days of winter come, the ants can stay in their warm nest and never worry about being hungry. They plan for their life!
How great the ants are!

39．What do ants do when something is in front of them

二、阅读理解
Dereck and Beverly are wildlife animal filmmakers (电影制片人). They have made lots of films about animals and plants. Their job is to keep and protect the big cats of Africa from damage (伤害). Beverly also takes photos of the lions, and her pictures have appeared in National Geographic magazine.
When they were kids, Dereck was quiet and healthy. He was good at maths and science. Beverly had a twin brother. At that time, she and her brother often got their mother into trouble! Beverly was a dancer, an athlete and a class leader. And she could play the piano (not very well). Her favourite subject was science and she always got excellent grades in her science exams.
When in the field, their work starts at around 4 a.m. After drinking a cup of tea, they drive out into the bush (灌木丛) to find their subjects. Sometimes that is a lion pride (群). Lions are family animals. They usually live in groups of fifteen or more. Sometimes that is a single leopard (豹). They follow the animals for the day, filming, researching, and collecting facts, information or pictures. They don’t stop working even when they have lunch. They are often back in camp by 8 p.m.
When talking about the favourite places to explore, Dereck says, “We live in it!” Beverly thinks being in nature is her favourite. Dereck thinks running or taking a swim in the Okavango swamp (沼泽)-especially swimming close to crocodiles (鳄鱼) is great fun, but Beverly says, “Swimming is fun but crazy in these waters!”

In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us.
Or can they A new TV show gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan. 10 on Bilibili, it tells the secret lives of plants, and the wonderful and unbelievable ways that plants work.
Plants compete against each other to live. In the rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield”. Only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But other plants may catch them up and get a lift. Finally, they are both overtaken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. Similarly, some trees may give out something to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, if a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The TV show not only makes us amazed at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe.”, said David, the director of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.

A．plants are difficult to study B．houseplants also need our attention
C．plants play a big role in our lives D．many wild plants are endangered

Great Ants (蚂蚁)
Ants are everywhere! We usually feel angry about them. However, these little ones also teach us something.
Never give up
Have you noticed (注意) that when something is in front of ants, they do not sit down or become sad They just keep going.
One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug back to its nest (巢穴). A leaf in the way was a big problem, but the ant was not giving up. It tried very hard to work out a way. Finally, the ant got that bug over the leaf and into the nest.
Ask for help
Think about it, have you ever seen an ant move something too big by itself That never happens. When a load (负荷) is too big, the ant signals (发信号) to the others for help.
Why don’t we do more of this Sometimes, we are just too afraid to ask someone to share the load. Sharing can make our life much easier.
Think winter in summer
Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat. So when the cold days of winter come, the ants can stay in their warm nest and never worry about being hungry. They plan for their life!
