A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States.The rusty patched bumblebee
(is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states-meaning every
state except Alaska and Hawaii.The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its
back.
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its
endangered species list.The insects are "on the brink of extinction",according to the service.It said
the bees were once found in 28 states.But there now are only small populations remaining in 13
states.The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover.The agency said that
such a plan might help other insects,like butterflies.
U.S.officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee.They
say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens.The insects
directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops.And they fertilize grain crops used to feed
cattle and milk cows.It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free.Land
owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products.The officials also suggest
that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them.That way,
the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered
species list partly because of habitat loss.Other reasons were disease,pesticides and climate change.
Officials are worried that other bees will suffer,too.Another species of bees in Hawaii is also
endangered.
4.How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered?
A.13.
B.28.
C.48.
D.50.
5.Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee?
A.Planting native plants.
B.Reducing the use of pesticide products.
C.Leaving plants alone.
D.Cutting out plants regularly.
6.What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text?
A.All the states declared it as endangered species.
B.It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly.
C.It is beneficial to land owners.
D.It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.

7.What's the best title for the passage?

Red squirrels ()a kind of animal once lost from their native woodlands,have been
returned to the north-west Highlands,early results of a reintroduction()project show.
The new population has naturally increased since they were reintroduced to north-west Scotland
last year.The animal had disappeared as a result of the reduction of forests,as well as illness and
competition from the introduced non-native grey squirrel.However,Trees for Life-the organization
behind the project-is hopeful that red squirrels will continue to add to their 138,000 number and
continue their increase.
"Early results shows that this could be a real wildlife success story.The new squirrel
populations are not only living in their new homes,they are also starting to spread out into new
areas,with squirrels being sighted as far as 15km away,"said Becky Priestley,Trees for Life's
wildlife officer.
The first relocation began in the spring of 2016,through to this year,when the first 33 squirrels
from Inverness-shire and Moray were set free at Shieldaig in Wester Ross.Another 22 were set free
at the Coulin estate,next to Beinn Eighe,plus 30 at Plockton,which is partly owned by the
National Trust for Scotland.
The red squirrel,found throughout Eurasia,has experienced a great population reduction in
recent years.In 2007,just 25,000 could be found throughout the UK after a one-time high of 3.5
million.This is often because of the fact that their grey cousins have a larger appetite()and eat
most of the food in the forest.Reds are also more likely to be influenced by viruses than greys,dying
up to 25 times quicker.
Grey squirrels first came to England from North America in 1876 as a decorative species.
However,it was not until 1930 that the damage they did was realized,when it was almost too late
for the reds.
Now,though,red squirrels appear to naturally take over their land again.During 2016,they
spread beyond Shieldaig,with one sighting 13 km away beyond Loch Torridon.One was seen
recently near Nostie,about 8 km from the release site,and there have been sightings further.
8.What is the reason for red squirrel's disappearing from north-west Highlands?
A.Humans'activity caused the forests to reduce.
B.There's competition from native animals.
99
C.The number of their natural enemies was reduced.
D.There was illness spreading among the red squirrels.
9.Where was the first relocation of red squirrels after its disappearance in woodlands?
A.At Shieldaig.
B.At the Coulin estate.
C.At Plockton.
D.At Moray.
10.Compared with grey squirrels,red squirrels
A.have a better appetite
B.are easier to fight against viruses
C.are more beautiful and decorative
D.are more likely to suffer from illnesses
11.How does the author find about the red squirrel project?
A.Difficult.
B.Successful.
C.Depressing.
D.Unrealistic.

On Saturday 24 August 1918,it was raining cats and dogs and thundering
over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England.The storm lasted
for only about ten minutes.People were surprised to see that it was not just
rainwater falling from the sky.There were fish falling down,too!People came out
to find out what was happening.They could not believe their own eyes.There
were thousands of fish-sand eels lying on the ground.They were about seven
centimeters long,and all were frozen solid.
Sand eels swim together in large groups,often in sandy water,and are often found in large
numbers in the North Sea,which reaches out to the east of Sunderland.How was it possible for
these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland?
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout.
Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water.They are so
powerful;anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds.
The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances -sometimes over 150
kilometers.It's very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through
waterspouts.In 2009,dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan.In 2012,fifty kilos
of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka.In 2017,fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in
Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you.It would probably hurt if
one fell on your head!With climate change,global warming and many reports of terrible natural
disasters,will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs?

12.What was the rain like on 24 August 1918?
A.It was very heavy.

A.They were few in number.
B.They came in different sizes.
C.They were still alive when landing.
D.They probably came from the North Sea.
14.What does the underlined word "them"in Paragraph 3 refer to?

Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres,Limon Province,Costa
Rica.He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature,which helped his business quite a bit.
103
The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazon River when he
happened upon something very strange.There was a dying male crocodile().When he stepped
up to carefully examine the skinny reptile,he realized it had been shot through the head and then left
eyes.
He knew,dangerous as it was,he couldn't leave the poor animal there,alone and helpless.
Chito acted quickly,calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his
boat.He knew if he could heal it,he would then send it back into the wild.He named the huge
reptile "Pocho",which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine,food,and more
importantly,lots of care and attention.Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish.He
bought medicine to prevent infection()and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors.Chito gave him kisses and hugs.He talked to
him and petted him."The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live,"he said.In time,
Pocho improved enough to returned to normal health.It was time for him to return to his own river
in the wild.Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a nearby
river.The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.

Paragraph 1:
