A
As we all know,all living things will die without oxygen(氧气).Oxygen comes from all kinds of plants.Rainforests play the most important part in making oxygen,and they also help us in many other ways.
Rainforests take in heat(热量) from the sun and this makes the earth cooler.Because the more heat reflects(反射) into the sky,the warmer the other parts of the world will be.That's the reason why rainforests can control the climate.
Rainforests provide us with a lot of wood.We use wood to make paper and furniture,such as beds,chairs and tables.Also we use wood for building houses to protect us from the sun,the wind and the rain.In most parts of the world,people cook food and keep warm by burning wood.
Rainforests are the world's medicine store.According to research,more than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However,only a few rainforest plants have been checked for their medical value.We believe that our best chance to beat diseases is somewhere in the world's rainforests.But it's a pity they are becoming smaller and smaller day by day.I think we should try our best to protect them.
16.Where does oxygen come from?______
A. All living things. B. All kinds of plants.
C. Only rainforests. D. Only wood.

Everyone needs help sometimes.People depend on (依赖于) one another:That's why communities have special people.They are ready to lend a helping hand to others.
For example,what would we do without a community fire station?If a home catches on fire,just like the Jackson place did last week.We' re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely.If the fire station didn't come so fast,the Jackson's might have lost everything.
And what about our local police?They protect our families,our homes and valuable things.The police have helped so many families this past year,especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community.Some people collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary.Road workers fix holes (修复洞口) in the streets to protect not just us,but our cars And what would this community be like without the teachers in our school and the doctors,and nurses in our community hospitals?
Think again about what we eat every day;think again about what we wear every day.We cannot produce them,but we use them all the time.We get a lot from all these great workers.They work hard to keep our community running.We need these people in the community.We depend on each other.Let's support each other and help each other.Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

The natural world is colourful because humans,plants and animals show different colours.Human skin(皮肤)can be many different colours and it changes with the sun,our feelings or health.This is because of pigments(色素).They reflect light and form the colours we see.So when we feel excited or angry,our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.This is why we have the expression that someone"sees red"when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments.Colour is important for them to live on.The bright colours of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫).Then the insects carry their pollen from one flower to another.Bees can see colours we cannot,and they follow these colours to the inside of the flowers.Without bees visiting flowers in this way,many plants would die out(灭绝).
Animals also use colour for their own need.They protect themselves with different colours so as not to be seen by predators(捕食性动物).For example,a snowshoe hare,a kind of wild rabbit,changes colours with the seasons for this reason.During summer it is brown,and in winter it is white.Some animals use colours to ward off predators.Bright colours such as yellow and red are often used in this way.And predators also use colours to hunt animals.
So,we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colours in the natural world.Some uses of colour in nature stay unknown,but one thing is for sure:Colour not only makes our planet beautiful but also keeps it alive.
26.What causes human skin to change colours? ______
A. Animals. B. Pigments. C. Insects. D. Seasons.
27.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? ______
A. How plants use colours to live on.
B. Why bees can see colours that humans cannot.
C. What would happen without insects visiting flowers.
D. Which colour is the most important for plant growth.
28.Which of the following is TRUE about the snowshoe hare? ______
A. It changes colours to make bees notice it quickly.
B. It changes colours to help other animals hunt for food.
C. It is a kind of wild rabbit that changes colours with the seasons.
D. It changes colours to show the change of its health conditions.
29.Which of the following can take the place of"ward off"in the text? ______
A. Keep away from. B. Get close to.
C. Make friends with. D. Get help from.
30.What's the best title for the text? ______

37.【答案】Dear Peter,
Thank you for your letter. It's interesting to hear you're studying how students and teachers communicate in different countries. I'd love to share a bit about my own experience at school.
I often communicate with my teachers,usually by asking questions after class or during breaks. However,I sometimes face two main problems. First,I feel nervous speaking in front of teachers. Second,I find it hard to express my ideas clearly when I am not fully confident about them.
To solve these issues,I plan to practice speaking calmly and prepare notes before talking to my teachers. I will also try to ask for their feedback more often,so I can learn how to express myself better.
Looking forward to your reply!
Best regards, Li Hua
