Whether you’ve noticed it or not, fewer and fewer bees are around us now. About one quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared since 1990.
There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate 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 from China 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 flying from 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.
27. How many bee species have disappeared since 1990?
A. About 5,000. B. About 10,000. C. About 20,000. D. Over 20,000 .
28. Which is NOT a reason for the drop of bee population?
A. Wide use of pesticides. B. Worse living places.
C. The fast climate change. D. Fewer fresh fruit and vegetables.
29. Which does the bee map tell us?
A. Bees like living in wet places. B. Bees are protected better than before.
C. Where different bee species live. D. The south half of the earth has more bee species.
30. What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Makers B. Helpers C. Finders D. Carriers
31. 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.
【答案】27. A 28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A

Whether you’ve noticed it or not, fewer and fewer bees are around us now. About one quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared since 1990.
There are many reasons for that including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate 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 from China 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 flying from 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.
27. How many bee species have disappeared since 1990?
A. About 5,000. B. About 10,000. C. About 20,000. D. Over 20,000 .
28. Which is NOT a reason for the drop of bee population?
A. Wide use of pesticides. B. Worse living places.
C. The fast climate change. D. Fewer fresh fruit and vegetables.
29. Which does the bee map tell us?
A. Bees like living in wet places. B. Bees are protected better than before.
C. Where different bee species live. D. The south half of the earth has more bee species.
30. What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Makers B. Helpers C. Finders D. Carriers
31. 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.
