But the main reason is the climate(气候) change, which is changing the bees’ environments in a faster way than they are able to get used to.A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists fromChina and the US. To help people know about bees and protect them better, they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas. According to the map,there are more species of bees in the north half than in the south half of the earth,and more in dry warm areas than in wet forest areas.In fact, bees are important contributors to humans and the whole world. When bees are flyingfrom one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate(授粉). In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world. Therefore, we human should make our efforts to protect bees.As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can come up with more ideas to save bee populations around the world.( ) 26. How many bee species have disappeared since 1990? A. About 5,000. B. About 10,000. C. About 20,000. D.

The south half of the earth has more bee species.( ) 29. What does the underlined word“contributors”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Makers. B. Helpers. C. Finders. D. Carriers.( ) 30. What is the last paragraph about?A. Ways of bee protection.B. Changes of bees' living environment.C. Bee populations around the world.D. The importance of protecting bee species.C Imagine mountain s held in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered with white frost(霜). These are the colors of the Longji Rice Terraces(龙脊水稻梯田). These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people in Guangxi. Work on the terraces took them hundreds of years from Yuan Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains,often from the bottom to the very top.So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat(平坦的) areas of land here. Building the terraces meant that they could increase(增加) more fields to grow rice. Secondly, the flat terraces catch the rainwater and stop the soil from being washed away.But perhaps what is most meaningful is the way people have worked in harmony(和谐) with nature to make these terraces. The terraces are cleverly shaped, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapor.This forms(形成) clouds and then rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.Although modern technology could help produce(生产) more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people. For them, traditions hold much value(价值). This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that people continue to use ancient ways of farming to keep the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces receive high praise(赞扬), and thousands of visitors come to enjoy this great wonder created by people and nature working together.( ) 31. How does the writer introduce the Longji Rice Terraces in Paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing sights(景色). C. By showing cultures. D. By making interviews(采访).( ) 32. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Why the farmers use the waterways to grow rice.B. Why the farmers turn the mountains into terraces.C. How people work in harmony with nature together.D. How the local people protect crops in the rainy season.( ) 33. Why do the local people still keep their ancient farming ways? A. To value their traditions. B. To produce more crops. C. To share their experience. D. To satisfy more visitors.( ) 34. What's the writer's purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce the history of the terraces.B. To advise people to build more terraces.C. To list the ways of improving technology.D. To praise the cleverness of the local people.( ) 35. In which section of a magazine can you read the text? A. Nature and Geography. B. News and Society. C. Art and Music. D. History and Culture.DHippos look a little bit silly, don't you think? They have huge bodies, but small eyes and ears. 36. As it turns out, they play an important role in Africa’s ecosystem(生态系统) as well. Hippos have been keeping silicon(硅), a nutrient for plants and animals, on the move throughout East Africa, Science News reported.Each day, a hippo eats about 36 kg of plants. Most of these plants are rich in silicon.37. Their poop brings 0.4 tons of silicon into the Mara River,where hippos often poop, according to scientists from the University of Antwerp inBelgium. That's about 76 percent of the river's entire downstream silica flow.Silicon is mostly found in sand. 38. Th e element feeds the growth of a plant called the diatom(硅藻), which lives in oceans, fresh water and other wet environments. Together, these plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and change it into oxygen. It is estimated that diatomsmake at least 20 percent of the oxygen on Earth, according to Live Science.Diatoms also form the base of the food chain. They are eaten by small animals like crabs and snails, which in turn feed bigger animals like otters, turtles, and even humans. 39. Their population decreased by up to 20 percent from 1996 to 2004,Science News reported. If these animals disappear from the Mara River, the diatom population could decrease remarkably.根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中有一项为多余选项。A. Its role in nature is important.B. Hippos play an important role in ecosystem.C. Without diatoms, many ecosystems would face a food shortage.D. This contrast always makes hippos look funny and cute.E. The silicon cycles through their body and finally comes out in their poop.F. But hippos are threatened by hunting and habitat (栖息地) loss.四、词汇运用(满分15分)A.用所给词的适当形式填空。每词限用一次。(共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10分)protect, achieve, weight, tour, include41. The famous band ___________the world.

It's hard to believe that these happy animals were once extinct in China, their homeland.Milu deer look like no other deer. They are known as“sibuxiang” because they have a horse's face, a cow's hoofs(蹄), a deer's antlers(鹿角) and a donkey's tail.Milu deer once lived widely in China. Because of over-hunting and habitat loss, they gradually disappeared in the wild. In the 19th century, the world's only milu deer lived in the Chinese emperor's hunting park. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, these deer were brought to Europe.Once there were only 18 milu deer left all over the world. Now, the animal has come back to its home country. In 1985 and 1986, China welcomed 22 and 39 milu deer back from the United Kingdom. The former ones were sent to the hunting park where they were last found in China, and the later ones were sent to the wetland inDafeng, Yancheng.After years of protection, the Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve is now home to over 7,000 milu deer and many other wild animals and plants.
