The Amazon Rainforest (亚马逊雨林) is the world’s biggest rainforest. It is in South America. The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest.
However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years.
Why is the Amazon “sick”?
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit (侵袭) the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire.
Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these kinds of activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear.
_____________
The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter.
The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear.
26. Where is the Amazon Rainforest?
A. North America. B. South America. C. Europe. D. Africa.
27. Which of the following are the reasons for the Amazon Rainforest being “sick”?
① No sunshine. ② Human activities. ③ Too much rain. ④ Climate change.
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④
28. What does the underlined word “droughts” mean?
A. 暴雨 B. 龙卷风 C. 干旱 D. 寒潮
29. Choose the best sentence to fill in the _______ in the passage.
A. Where is the Amazon Rainforest?
B. Who lives in the Amazon Rainforest?
C. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest?
D. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest?
30. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To tell readers about the history of the Amazon River.
B. To call on readers to protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C. To advise people to visit the Amazon Rainforest.
D. To introduce how many animals live in the Amazon Rainforest.

The Amazon Rainforest (亚马逊雨林) is the world’s biggest rainforest. It is in South America. The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest.
However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years.
Why is the Amazon “sick”?
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit (侵袭) the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire.
Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these kinds of activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear.
_____________
The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter.
The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear.
26. Where is the Amazon Rainforest?
A. North America. B. South America. C. Europe. D. Africa.
27. Which of the following are the reasons for the Amazon Rainforest being “sick”?
① No sunshine. ② Human activities. ③ Too much rain. ④ Climate change.
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④
28. What does the underlined word “droughts” mean?
A. 暴雨 B. 龙卷风 C. 干旱 D. 寒潮
29. Choose the best sentence to fill in the _______ in the passage.
A Where is the Amazon Rainforest?
B. Who lives in the Amazon Rainforest?
C. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest?
D. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest?

Are you afraid of spiders? How about insects such as roaches (蟑螂), ants, or bees? If your answer is “yes”, you are not alone. Most people don’t like them for some reasons. Insects and spiders look scary. They have lots of legs, and they fly or move fast. Also, some of them bite, and sometimes this causes pain or even illness.
Insects and spiders can be scary, but they aren’t all bad. In fact, many help us. Here is how they do that.
They feed us
Bees do a lot for us, for example. Everyone knows that bees make honey, which we use in food, drinks, and medicine. And bees also pollinate plants. When they do this, it gives us many fruits and vegetables.
They protect our food.
Farmers grow crops for food, but many insects eat these plants. Luckily, we have ladybugs and spiders. They kill bad bugs and protect our food. A ladybug, for example, eats about 5,000 insects a year, and a spider eats about 2,000. Thanks to spiders and ladybugs, farmers don’t need to use many pesticides (农药).
They clean the environment (环境).
Many insects and spiders eat waste on the ground, for example, old food or dead animals and plants. On one street in New York City, spiders, ants, and roaches consume(消耗) about 2,100 pounds (950 kilos) of food on the ground each year. That’s the same as 60,000 hot dogs! Eating this food waste cleans the environment and keeps it healthy.
Why do most people dislike insects and spiders? List two reasons.
