How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Bees are an important part of the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth. Task 1 Read the text and complete the following sentences. 1.我们彼此需要才能生存，而蜜蜂就是这种关联的最佳例证之一。 We need __________ _________ _________ __________, and bees are _________ __________ __________ __________ __________ of this connection. 2.蜜蜂是非常勤劳的动物，它们最重要的工作是授粉。 Bees are very__________ ___________, and _________ __________ __________is pollination. 3.正因如此，许多科学家认为蜜蜂是这个星球上最重要的动物。 _________ __________ __________, many scientists believe that bees are _________ _________ __________ _________ on this planet. 4.当一只蜜蜂发现新食物时，它会用舞蹈告诉其他蜜蜂食物在哪里以及有多远。 When a bee_________ _________ __________, it uses a dance to _________ _________ _________ where and _________ _________ _________ the food is. 5.蜜蜂在我们星球的生态系统中扮演着重要角色。 Bees _________ __________ ___________ __________in the ecosystem of our planet. 6.它们需要我们的帮助，而且我们能做很多事。 They_________ _________ ________ , and there is a lot _________ _________ __________ . Task 2 Read again and complete the mind map with the information from the text. . Section B 3a The blue whale is the largest and heaviest animal on earth. It can weigh as much as 200 tons. Many people like watching blue whales swim, and they think it is one of the most beautiful things to see. Blue whales live in all oceans except the Arctic Ocean. They eat a lot, but they eat some of the tiniest animals in the ocean. A blue whale can eat around four tons of these a day. Blue whales can live up to 90 years. When a blue whale dies at sea, it becomes food for many kinds of animals living in and around the sea. This food lasts for over a year and it helps to create a lively and healthy ecosystem. Blue whales play an important role in our world, so we must protect them. Task Read the text and complete the table.

I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer (肥料), but it didn’t 34 . Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again.

Almost every day we seem to hear about problems of the environment—pollution, climate change and the disappearing of the animals and the plants. As we all know, these environmental problems are mostly caused by us humans. We must find ways to solve these problems, or the earth will no longer support human lives as always. Each of us, whatever age we are, should do something to protect the earth. We’re all responsible for the environment. What can we do? Come and listen to Mr. Green’s speech tomorrow. 41．How long will the speech last? A．120 minutes. B．90 minutes. C．60 minutes. D．150 minutes. 42．Where can students listen to the speech? A．In their classroom. B．On the playground. C．In the school library. D．In the school hall. 43．What are the environmental problems mentioned in the passage? A．Earthquakes, pollution and climate change.

A．music magazine B．school newspaper C．student report card D．science textbook B Having a heart-to-heart talk with your dog or other pets sounds good, right? Well, it seems true. Pet communicators (沟通师) are getting popular these days. But here’s a question. Do these pet communicators really understand pets? Maybe they just use our love for pets to make money. At first, Miss Lee thought it was interesting and she spent 500 yuan having a pet communicator talk with her dog. Miss Lee offered him a photo of her dog. Then the pet communicator told Miss Lee that the dog’s favorite color was yellow and that it liked to stay in crowded places. Later, Miss Lee thought they were not true and she would never believe in a pet communicator again. However, some people believe in the pet communicators. For those who just lost their pets, the service of a pet communicator is helpful. It can help them get through a hard time. In fact, there is no science behind pet communicators. They often look through a pet owner’s social media (媒体) to make a guess at the pet. When our pet has problems, we should go to the pet hospital to ask for help. If we just try to solve them by talking to pet communicators, it will be dangerous. After all, it’s known that humans and animals can’t communicate through language. To understand our pets, we need science but not a pet communicator. 46．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “________”. A．showing care for pets B．communicating with pets C．being a pet communicator D．keeping a dog or other pets 47．What did Miss Lee think of the pet communicator? A．His advice was useful. B．He knew well about her dog. C．He loved animals very much. D．He might make up stories. 48．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of keeping pets. B．The ways to talk with pet communicators. C．Why some people ask pet communicators for help. D．Why pets can help people get through a hard time. 49．The writer wants to tell us that ________ . A．pet communicators are very helpful B．we shouldn’t believe in pet communicators C．pet owners should share a lot about their pets online D．humans should communicate with pet animals often 50．What is the best title for the passage? A．Do Pet Owners Really Understand Their Pets? B．Do Pet Communicators Really Understand Pets? C．A New Study on How to Communicate with Pets D．The Reasons for Asking Pet Communicators for Help C Read the following information about six parks in Shenzhen.

They eat small animals. There were many sharks in the sea. But now they are in danger. Do you know why? First, people pollute seas, so it’s very hard for sharks to find clean food. Second, people kill sharks for their fins. Every year people kill lots of sharks in the world. The situation is getting very difficult. A large number of sharks are killed every year. We must do something to protect them. To protect animals is to protect ourselves. We can make seas clean and stop killing sharks. It’s also a good idea to raise public awareness of protecting sharks.

How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Bees are an important part of the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth. Task 1 Read the text and complete the following sentences. 1.我们彼此需要才能生存，而蜜蜂就是这种关联的最佳例证之一。 We need __________ _________ _________ __________, and bees are _________ __________ __________ __________ __________ of this connection. 2.蜜蜂是非常勤劳的动物，它们最重要的工作是授粉。 Bees are very__________ ___________, and _________ __________ __________is pollination. 3.正因如此，许多科学家认为蜜蜂是这个星球上最重要的动物。 _________ __________ __________, many scientists believe that bees are _________ _________ __________ _________ on this planet. 4.当一只蜜蜂发现新食物时，它会用舞蹈告诉其他蜜蜂食物在哪里以及有多远。 When a bee_________ _________ __________, it uses a dance to _________ _________ _________ where and _________ _________ _________ the food is. 5.蜜蜂在我们星球的生态系统中扮演着重要角色。 Bees _________ __________ ___________ __________in the ecosystem of our planet. 6.它们需要我们的帮助，而且我们能做很多事。 They_________ _________ ________ , and there is a lot _________ _________ __________ . Task 2 Read again and complete the mind map with the information from the text. . Section B 3a The blue whale is the largest and heaviest animal on earth. It can weigh as much as 200 tons. Many people like watching blue whales swim, and they think it is one of the most beautiful things to see. Blue whales live in all oceans except the Arctic Ocean. They eat a lot, but they eat some of the tiniest animals in the ocean. A blue whale can eat around four tons of these a day. Blue whales can live up to 90 years. When a blue whale dies at sea, it becomes food for many kinds of animals living in and around the sea. This food lasts for over a year and it helps to create a lively and healthy ecosystem. Blue whales play an important role in our world, so we must protect them. Task Read the text and complete the table.

Pet communicators (沟通师) are getting popular these days. But here’s a question. Do these pet communicators really understand pets? Maybe they just use our love for pets to make money. At first, Miss Lee thought it was interesting and she spent 500 yuan having a pet communicator talk with her dog. Miss Lee offered him a photo of her dog. Then the pet communicator told Miss Lee that the dog’s favorite color was yellow and that it liked to stay in crowded places. Later, Miss Lee thought they were not true and she would never believe in a pet communicator again. However, some people believe in the pet communicators. For those who just lost their pets, the service of a pet communicator is helpful. It can help them get through a hard time. In fact, there is no science behind pet communicators. They often look through a pet owner’s social media (媒体) to make a guess at the pet. When our pet has problems, we should go to the pet hospital to ask for help. If we just try to solve them by talking to pet communicators, it will be dangerous. After all, it’s known that humans and animals can’t communicate through language. To understand our pets, we need science but not a pet communicator. 46．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “________”. A．showing care for pets B．communicating with pets C．being a pet communicator D．keeping a dog or other pets 47．What did Miss Lee think of the pet communicator? A．His advice was useful.
