课时作业(九)　Unit 1　Nature in the balance 一、阅读理解 (2022·河南省安阳市高三下学期高考模拟试题)Depending on what time of year they’re born, Monarch butterflies can live from 2 weeks to about 5 months. Most butterflies depend on their wings of the same shape to help in their flight. But there was a three­day­old Monarch with a badly damaged wing, suffering the injury during its development.
