They are known for their long tails, big teeth, and the ability to climb trees. They can jump up to 6 metres in height, and they can run up to 32 kilometres every hour. Squirrels have soft bodies. Their eyes are high up on their small heads, one on each side so they can see wide and far without having to turn around. This often helps them get out of danger. Squirrels have four big teeth in the front of their mouth that keep growing all through their lives. They are known for their love of nuts(坚果), and they can eat as much food as their body weight each week. They will often keep nuts in the ground for the long winter months. Many people think that squirrels only eat nuts，but this isn't true. They also like to eat plants, fruits, eggs, small animals and even young snakes.

They come in all shapes and sizes—from tall trees to tiny mosses that grow on the ground. But do you know why plants are so important? First of all, plants are the oxygen producers(氧气生产者) of the earth. Through a process called photosynthesis(光合作用), they produce oxygen,  which is necessary for all living things. In fact, most of the oxygen in the air comes from plants.Ⅶ.阅读表达【跨学科】 Plants are also the base of the food chain(链). They use sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil to make their own food. The food then becomes a source of energy for animals that eat plants,  and then those animals are eaten by other animals. Moreover,  plants play an important role in protecting the environment. Their roots hold the soil tightly so it doesn’t get washed away. They also take in rainwater,  which helps protect the land from floods.  Many plants are also helpful in making our environment cleaner and healthier. In short,  plants are truly the great heroes(英雄) of our planet. They produce the oxygen we need,  the food we eat,  and the healthy environment we live in. So next time you see a plant, take a moment to thank it for all it does for us!1.

How did you adjust(适应) to life in a new place？Nowadays, scientists have helped some Burrowing Owls settle(安置) into their new homes. Burrowing Owls are small brown long­legged birds. They make homes in underground burrows(洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, the USA, there is another kind of owl called the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off their burrows. Some of these birds were unable to find new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was smaller than that in 1965. If the number keeps falling, they will be at risk of dying out.Ⅴ.阅读理解 Luckily, scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds feel more “at home”， scientists played the recording sound of owl calls in these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings(假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds believe that other owls were living there. As a result, they accepted(接受) their new homes and stayed there. Scientists returned to check on the owls. Most of them seemed to like their new homes. Good luck to them enjoying their new lives there!1. What can we know about Burrowing Owls according to Paragraph 2? A. They like living in groups. B.

In her class, Wang Yue’s grandmother keeps a “miracle tree”—the sunflower. She interviewed Wang Yue and wrote this report.An Amazing Sunflower’s Day Hello, I’m Lu Jiaqi, a school reporter. Here’s my interview report about the amazing sunflower. Wang Yue’s grandmother has a big garden. In the garden there is a tall sunflower. Its day starts very early. At 5:30 a.m. it turns its golden face to the rising sun—this is called heliotropism(趋日性). From 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. it makes sweet nectar(花蜜) deep inside its dark centre; busy bees come and help it “make friends”. At noon the sunflower stops moving and enjoys the warm light; its green leaves make food for the whole plant. In the afternoon, if the weather is hot, its thick hairy stem keeps water inside like a water bottle. At 5:00 p.m. it slowly turns to the west, ready to say goodbye to the sun. In the evening little birds rest on its strong stalk(茎；秆). It “sleeps” at 7:30 p.m., bending its head a little, because tomorrow it will have a new journey with the sun. Grandma Wang says, “The sunflower is not only beautiful; it gives us seeds and teaches us to face the light every day.”【任务一】根据文章内容，完成陆家琦对王月的采访。 Lu Jiaqi: Hi! Wang Yue.

They are very cute and friendly to people. They feed on bamboo. They mainly live in some forests and mountains in Sichuan Province, Gansu Province and Shaanxi Province. Now the number of pandas is becoming smaller and smaller. So Chinese government is thinking about ways to protect them. People build many research bases to care for baby pandas. Some education programmes also send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving pandas. Besides these, the government is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in.第7课时 阅读素养提升A Folk Story of Zisu During the Eastern Han Dynasty, some rich young men were celebrating the Double Ninth Festival.

The cub's journey began last September when someone found it in a city park and called the centre. Leopard cats are protected animals in China, so the workers at the centre decided to take in the cub and look after it. When the cub first arrived, it was small and weak. The workers had to put it in an incubator(保温箱).  To help it grow stronger, they fed it milk every two hours.Ⅲ.阅读理解 After about 20 days, the cub was much healthier. So the workers started feeding it meat. They then moved the cub to a special place with trees to get it ready for life in the wild. They tried not to make contact with the cub too much, so it wouldn’t get used to being around people. By the end of December,  the workers started training it to hunt small animals like chickens,  mice and fish. Once the cub could catch its own food and stay safe, the workers knew it was ready to go back into the wild. Before letting the cub go, the workers fed it a little more food than usual in case it couldn’t find any right away.  “I’m happy that we’ve raised it well and now it can live in the wild, have a home, and hopefully have babies on its own,” said one of the workers.
