The Amazn rainfrest cvers 5.5 millin square kilmeters. That’s abut half the size f China! Hwever, accrding t a new study, the Amazn rainfrest may becme grassland in a few years.
The Amazn is the wrld’s biggest rainfrest. Climate(气候) change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainfrest can fix itself. But nw, it feels t “tired” t get better. The trees may die and the rainfrest culd turn int a ht, dry grassland.
Why is the Amazn “sick”? The Amazn is ne f the wrld’s wettest places. But since 2005, three drughts have hit the rainfrest. They were caused by climate change. The trees dn’t have enugh water t grw. What’s wrse, as they becme dry, they can easily catch fire.
On the ther hand, peple cut dwn rainfrest trees fr wd. They burn the frest t make farmland. They clear trees t find minerals (矿产). All these activities have caused abut 17 percent f the rainfrest t disappear.
The rich plants there take carbn dixide (CO₂) ut f the air and make xygen. They make mre than 20 percent f the planet’s xygen. What will happen if we lse it? If the Amazn “dies”, there will be mre CO₂ and ur earth will becme even htter.
Als, the Amazn is hme t ver 3 millin animals and plants. Many f them can’t live anywhere else. They wuld very likely just disappear.

C.at the beginning f Paragraph 5D.at the beginning f Paragraph 6
59. Which f the fllwing best shws the structure f the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
60.What is the next paragraph f this article mst prbably abut?
A.Hw imprtant the Amazn rainfrest is.

A garden is much mre than just creating a beautiful envirnment. It can be a way t save r even make mney and, mre than that, it can be a place where yu can express yurself. Fr me, it’s a bit f all these things. I knw it may sund strange fr a 13-year-ld girl t be interested in gardening, but I have always been and I wuld lve t make a career ut f it.
I have learned many things these past few years. I have been reading abut and ding sme gardening. S, here is my tp advice abut gardening. First, yu d nt need t spend a lt f mney t have a beautiful garden. Sme f the gardens that I think are the prettiest are just lines f plants. There aren’t many garden decratins and pathways. It’s just beautiful plants with fruits and vegetables. We can als find many useful things fr free, frm pieces f ld wd t ld pts and pans. Or, we can build things fr free frm materials that ther peple have thrwn away.
If yu just remember that planting what is mre than yu need will take the stress away f lsing sme plants, yu will save yurself a lt f wrry, t. Besides, yu need t ask yurself which plants prduce enugh fd t make them wrth grwing. I actually sat dwn and did the maths n that ne this spring. It amazed me what sme plants were wrth. A tmat, fr example, can prduce £50-£150 wrth f fruit. It takes up a lt f space but that’s a lt f mney cming ut f a 50-pence seed (种子)! S if I had knwn earlier what each plant culd save us, I wuld have tld my parents t fill ur garden with different plants.
And finally, gardening desn’t have t be all r nthing. But then I guess that’s mre f a persnality weakness than anything. I struggle with ding things a little at a time. Once I decide t d smething, I usually devte every waking hur t it fr a little while and then get tired. S it’s kay t just have ne tmat plant, and it’s kay t have an ff year. It will save yu a lt f stress.
61. What des the writer want t tell us abut gardening in paragraph 1?
A. The gardeners can make much mney. B. It’s just abut creating a beautiful place.
C. The mst imprtant is t express yurself. D. It means different things t different peple.
62. Hw wuld the writer describe her favrite garden?
A. Simple.B. Expensive.C. Magic.D. Creative.
63. What advice des the writer give us abut gardening?
A. Use what we can find arund us.B. Try t make a career ut f it.
C. Ask ther gardeners t give help.D. Spend as much time as we can.
64. What can we learn abut the writer’s gardening experience?
A. She wants t grw everything. B. She did everything right.
C. She has a lt f fun in ding it. D. She needs t wrk harder.
65. What des the underlined wrd “devte” mean in the last paragraph?

Peple arund the wrld have tried ChatGPT and psted their results n scial media. Sme used it t write histry articles, sme asked it t take ntes f presentatins, and sme even frmed advice n hw t chat with peple at a party, reprted The Atlantic.
