Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help 1 the river clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 711. But I like its another 2 better—the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club tries to make sure the water is clean and 3 for fish and people. And now I’m old enough to help take care of the river, too. Picking up 4 is like a treasure hunt. My friends and I can always find plastic bags, empty bottles, cans, paper, and many other things by the river. There used to be 5 rubbish here. One weekend, my grandparents picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That was as much as an elephant 6 ! The rubbish was bad for the river as well as the animals and plants living there. So the River Rats taught people who were relaxing by the river to take rubbish with them 7 throwing it into the river. Now there’s much less rubbish for us to pick up. Maybe we won’t find any rubbish here. My favourite thing is to 8 waterbugs (水虫)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some bugs don’t care 9 dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live here when the water is clean. 10 we can find lots of bugs that need clean water, we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us. I enjoy taking care of the Jacks Fork River. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my friends to play. 1．A．keep B．describe C．paint D．find 2．A．plan B．program C．name D．colour 3．A．thirsty B．healthy C．hungry D．full 4．A．water B．flowers C．fish D．rubbish 5．A．even more B．much less C．many more D．far less 6．A．grows B．weighs C．seems D．has 7．A．because of B．by C．instead of D．while 8．A．put away B．tidy up C．live on D．look for 9．A．how B．what C．why D．when 10．A．Since B．If C．Before D．So 7.（22-23八年级下·江苏盐城·期中）阅读短文，从每题所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, a crow came and perched (栖息) on the branch of the lovely tree where Bluebird lived.
