They provide a lot of wood for buildings and things for making paper. They provide homes for all kinds of insects, birds and other animals. They also keep the air clean. Trees are so important to us. But do you know how a tree grows up? Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. Between 1 and 3 years old, ▲ . For example, many trees grow thorns（刺）to keep the animals away. At the age of 15, trees become young adults（成年人）. They begin to produce（生产）flowers and fruits. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree not only gives us shade, oxygen（ 氧气）and natural beauty, but also provides a great place for us to rest, read books or listen to music. After that, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When part of a tree becomes dead, it provides a home for small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is just like everyone’s own life. Each period of life brings its own joy and challenge. Let’s enjoy every minute of the life of trees and take care of them. 16.

To introduce a tree’s lifetime. C. To show the importance of enjoying life. D. To ask people to enjoy every minute. 三、阅读表达 Do you know seahorses? They are famous for their curly（ 卷曲的）tails and the horse-like head. Seahorses are a special kind of sea fish. Let’s take a closer look at the world of them. The seahorse is a small fish and people can find it in many waters around the world. It can be as small as a peanut（花生）or as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses have many colors, and some can even change color to match the environment. They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push（推） themselves forward is by using a tiny fin（鳍）on their backs. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip! Humans are the greatest danger to seahorses. Seahorses feed on tiny fish and plankton（ 浮游生物）, but chemical（化学的）pollution from human activities harms the food. And the climate change makes the ocean warmer, and this can make a difference in their breathing and appetite（ 食欲）. What’s worse, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they have trouble running away from polluted areas. However, the seahorse trade（贸易）is more serious （严重的）than these dangers. Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year for use in medicine. If we don’t do something to protect them, seahorses could die out by around 2050, but there is still time to save them. 20. What are seahorses known for? _______________________________________________ 21. How can seahorses push themselves forward? ________________________________________________ 22. Why is it difficult for seahorses to run away from polluted areas? ________________________________________________ 23. What is the biggest danger to seahorses according to the text? ________________________________________________ 24.

A: Did you see your favourite animals? B: Yes, I saw my favourite tigers. 26.________________ A: Why are you unhappy? B: Because they have to stay in cages and some of them are dirty. I don’t think they are happy. A: 27.__________________________ I think they should go back to forests or mountains. B: And I saw a few children even fed them. A: That was too bad. 28.___________________ B: Of course. I also told them it’s bad for them and we should also protect them. A: 29._______________________________________ Protecting them is protecting ourselves. 五、写作能力提升练 【短语】 play a part in, at risk, cut down, the importance of, die out 【句型】 1. My favorite animal is... 2.
