Dear fellow students,
Forests are important to the environment.But more and more forests are disappearing around the world every year.That is because people are cutting down trees and there are different kinds of pollution like farming and tourism pollution and so on.As we know,trees are very useful to the environment.They can keep the water and stop the soil from being washed away.They can clean the air and make our cities less noisy.Trees can prevent the climate from getting warmer and warmer.They can keep the balance of nature.Without trees,humans and animals would die.So we must protect trees,plant more trees and take care of them.
In order to protect our environment,our school is planning an activity “Plant Trees for the Earth”.Let’s join in the activity together.
That’s all.Thank you.

Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题:人与自然 树木与人类的联系】
We can see all kinds of trees in schools,communities and parks.As an important part of nature,trees have a close relationship with human beings.
Why are trees helpful
Humans depend on trees.First,trees provide wood for building houses,making sofas and producing paper.People also use the leaves and other parts of trees as medicine to treat illnesses.
Trees play a key role in ecosystems.Trees can take in carbon dioxide(CO2) and make oxygen(O2) to make the air clean.Trees can protect water and soil.Besides,they are home to some wild animals.The fruit and leaves of trees are food for cows and sheep.
Paper products made from trees are part of our daily lives.Let’s take the family of Li Hua,a 15-year-old middle school student,as an example.
How much paper does Li’s family use every year
Printing paper:800 pieces Toilet paper:150 rolls(卷) Kitchen paper:225 rolls
※One tree can make 750 rolls of household(家用的) paper.
※One tree can make 4 000 pieces of printing paper.
Chart I
How do trees make us feel
When we have a lot of stress,we can go into the forest to breathe and touch the trees’ lives.The growing process of trees makes us relaxed and hopeful.Trees are also part of human culture.Many works about history,fiction and poems have something to do with trees.These works express people’s praise for nature and carry humans’ feelings and memories.
As though a gust of spring wind swept it past overnight,bringing thousands upon thousands of pear trees into bloom. Cen Shen
ChartⅡ
What should people do to protect trees
Governments make rules and set up some festivals to make people realize the importance of trees.We teenagers can also take action to protect trees.For example,we can make full use of paper,refuse to use disposable(一次性的) chop-sticks when eating out,and take an active part in tree planting activities.
1.How do trees make the air clean
2.How can trees make us feel when we are stressed
3.What can trees help us do in our daily lives
4.According to Chart I,how many trees are used to make paper products for Li’s family every year What advice can you give them

At school,students learn different subjects like English,maths,art and so on.They learn these subjects in the classroom.These days,a new subject becomes popular in many schools!

Keeping a school garden is difficult,but teachers are trying to make it work.Some schools can have gardens inside,but other schools are small.So teachers turn to gardens and parks near the school.
The school garden doesn’t have to be very big.Students can have a lot of fun in it.At first,teachers decide what vegetables to grow.Then they grow them with students.Carrots and tomatoes are their favourites because it is nice for them to get a carrot or a tomato,wash it and eat it right in the garden.Some vegetables are easy to grow,but others need a long time.This can teach students hard work pays off.

【详解答案】
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了两位邻居一起种植物,两边的条件都差不多,但是商人的植物却比老师的植物更容易被风雨摧残,这告诉我们有时太关心植物反而不好。
1.C 解析:句意:他们两个都在花园里种了许多不同的植物。offices办公室;kitchens厨房;gardens花园;houses房子。根据下文“the two men came into the gardens to look at their plants”可知植物是种在花园里的。故选C。
2.A 解析:句意:老师没有特别频繁地给植物浇水,并且没有给它们太多关注。water浇水;plant种植;hide隐藏;dry(使)变干。根据“But the businessman was very careful with his plants and watered them often.”中的But可知前后为转折关系,商人经常给植物浇水,但是老师没有经常浇水。故选A。
3.C 解析:句意:老师的植物长得很小,但是看起来状态还行,然而商人的植物大得多,也绿得多。and并且;so所以;but但是;or或者。根据“The teacher’s plants were small…still looked okay”可知老师的植物长得小但是状态不错,前后为转折关系。故选C。
4.B 解析:句意:老师的植物长得很小,但是看起来状态还行,然而商人的植物大得多,也绿得多。weaker更弱;greener更绿;thinner更瘦;younger更年轻。根据“The teacher’s plants were small…still looked okay,while the businessman’s plants were much bigger and…”可知此处是将老师的植物和商人的植物作比较,体现出商人的植物的优点,greener“更绿”符合语境。故选B。
5.D 解析:句意:第二天早晨,两人来到花园看他们的植物。year年;month月;week周;morning早晨。根据“One night,there was a storm with a heavy rain and strong wind.They didn’t sleep well the whole night.”可知两人是第二天早晨才去看花园的植物。故选D。
6.A 解析:句意:商人的植物从土里出来了,并且都死了。came out出来;got off下车;grew up长大;ran away跑走。由文章结尾“I gave my plants just a little bit of water,so they had to grow deeper to absorb (吸收) more water.That is why my plants survived.”可知因为老师浇水少,植物需要扎根地下去吸水,而商人浇水多,植物不用多扎根,故根基不稳容易被风雨吹倒,故此处是植物都从土里出来了。故选A。
7.B 解析:句意:但是老师的植物还好好“站”在原地。flew飞;stood站;touched触摸;floated飘动。结合语境及选项可知,此处指植物“站”在原地。故选B。
8.D 解析:句意:商人很惊讶。excited激动的;nervous紧张的;pleased愉悦的;surprised惊讶的。根据下文商人的问题“We grew the same plants and I looked after my plants better than you did…could your plants still be okay ”可知,此处商人应是惊讶的。故选D。
9.B 解析:句意:你的植物怎么还好好的 Where哪里;How怎么,如何;What什么;When什么时候。根据“We grew the same plants and I looked after my plants better than you did.”可知商人很惊讶于自己的植物照顾地比老师仔细,但是却死了,故此处是在问老师的植物怎么还好好的。故选B。
10.A 解析:句意:它们很容易生长。easily容易地;slowly缓慢地;suddenly突然地;quietly安静地。根据上文可知,商人经常给植物浇水,并且很关注植物的生长,这使得植物成长得“很容易”。故选A。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文讲述了通过园艺可以获得的益处。
1.B 解析:细节理解题。根据“It’s a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging.”可知,浇花属于园艺活动之一。故选B。
2.C 解析:推理判断题。根据“It gets them off computers,televisions and phones.Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating.”可知,园艺让孩子们远离电脑、电视和手机,教给他们关于大自然和健康饮食的知识。C项“园艺是一项能与孩子们一起做的、很棒的活动”符合本段主旨。故选C。
3.C 解析:篇章结构题。第一段引出主题,第二、第三、第四段介绍我们可以从园艺的过程中获得的好处。故选C。
4.B 解析:最佳标题题。本文讲述了通过园艺可以获得的益处。故选B。

Ⅲ.(2024唐山路南区月考)阅读表达【主题:人与自然 食肉的植物】
Do you think all plants need only light,soil and water Then you are wrong! Some plants “eat” meat.These plants usually grow in areas with poor soil.This soil can’t give them all the food they need,so the plants have found another way of getting it — by eating insects(昆虫) and other small creatures(生物).Don’t be scared.They won’t eat you! Plants only eat people in books and films.
Here are some kinds of meat-eating plants.One of them is the flytrap(捕蝇草).Insects fly into the plant and then the leaves trap(困住) them inside.Another meat-eating plant,the pitcher plant(猪笼草),has a sweet and sticky liquid(液体).Curious insects go inside for a taste and discover that the flower is slippery(滑).They slide down and become the plant’s meal.
Keeping some of these plants at home is easy.You can grow them in flowerpots,but you must water them often.
1.Where do the plants that “eat” meat usually grow
2.What kind of liquid does the pitcher plant have
