Of course. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating. H 1 , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050. One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter. collected data (数据) from 27 countries for f 2 study. They found that climate change made growing conditions better in most of these countries. But if it’s too hot, they will stop growing. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect t 3 for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If it keeps r 4 , ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may d 5 out. A 6 danger to bananas is diseases (疾病). Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings but not seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. Panama, a t 7 disease, begins from the soil and spreads quite easily. It has killed t 8 of banana plants across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation gets the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. As a result, we need to do s 9 to protect banana plants. First, the governments should try their best to support scientists in finding new ways to protect banana plants from diseases. Second, it’s necessary to improve farming practices to make sure banana plants have better growing conditions. For e 10 , using more organic fertilizers(有机肥料) can help keep the soil healthy. Also, we may develop new types of bananas that are more resistant to the changing environment. We hope that bananas will still be around in the future and continue to be a delicious and popular fruit. 【答案】 1．(H)owever 2．(f)urther 3．(t)emperature 4．(r)ising 5．(d)ie 6．(A)nother 7．(t)errible 8．(t)housands 9．(s)omething 10．(e)xample 【导语】本文主要介绍了香蕉在未来几十年后可能会消失的原因。 1．句意：但是，英国科学家说这种水果可能在2050年消失。根据“They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating. ... , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.”可知，此处前一句话是积极的，后一句话是消极的信息，需要一个转折连词，且空后有逗号，However“但是”符合语境。故填(H)owever。 2．句意：埃克塞特大学的科学家为了进一步研究从27个国家收集数据。根据“Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries for ... study.”可知，此处位于名词前需要一个形容词，应该是埃克塞特大学的科学家为了进一步研究从27个国家收集数据，further“进一步的”符合语境。故填(f)urther。 3．句意：事实上，种香蕉完美温度是24℃到32℃之间。根据“In fact, the perfect ... for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃.”可知，此处需要一个名词，temperature“温度”符合语境。故填(t)emperature。 4．句意：如果温度继续升高，包括印度在内的世界上最大的香蕉生产国中的十个国家将生产更少的香蕉。根据“”可知，此处需要一个动词，应该是如果温度继续“升高”，这些国家将生产更少的香蕉，rise“上升”符合语境，又此处为keep doing“坚持做某事”，动词用动名词形式。故填(r)ising。 5．句意：到2050年为止，这种水果可能会消失。根据“the fruit may ... out.”可知，此处需要一个动词，die out“消失”，又此前面有情态动词，动词用原形。故填(d)ie。 6．句意：对香蕉的另一大威胁是疾病。根据“One reason for this is climate change.”和“... danger to bananas is diseases.”可知，此处引出香蕉会消失的另一个威胁，Another“另一个”符合语境。故填(A)nother。 7．句意：一种起源于土壤的严重的病很容易传播。根据“Panama, a ... disease, begins from the soil and spreads quite easily.”可知，此处需要一个形容词，terrible“严重的”符合语境，表示严重的疾病。故填(t)errible。 8．句意：在南亚、非洲、中东和澳大利亚，它已经杀死了成千上万的香蕉植株。根据“It has killed ... of banana plants across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia.”可知，此处是指thousands of“成千上万”的香蕉植株。故填(t)housands。 9．句意：结果，我们需要做些什么去保护香蕉植株。根据“As a result, we need to do ... to protect banana plants. ”可知，此处需要一个名词或代词充当宾语，something“一些事”符合语境，表示做一些事情。故填(s)omething。 10．句意：例如，使用更多的有机肥料能帮助保持土壤健康。根据“For ... , using more organic fertilizers can help keep the soil healthy.”可知，此处是要用for example引出事例。故填(e)xample。 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，写出所缺单词的适当形式，补全短文。 Do you know about mangzhong (芒种)?

They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating. H 1 , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050. One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter. collected data (数据) from 27 countries for f 2 study. They found that climate change made growing conditions better in most of these countries. But if it’s too hot, they will stop growing. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect t 3 for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If it keeps r 4 , ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may d 5 out. A 6 danger to bananas is diseases (疾病). Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings but not seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. Panama, a t 7 disease, begins from the soil and spreads quite easily. It has killed t 8 of banana plants across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation gets the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. As a result, we need to do s 9 to protect banana plants. First, the governments should try their best to support scientists in finding new ways to protect banana plants from diseases. Second, it’s necessary to improve farming practices to make sure banana plants have better growing conditions. For e 10 , using more organic fertilizers(有机肥料) can help keep the soil healthy. Also, we may develop new types of bananas that are more resistant to the changing environment. We hope that bananas will still be around in the future and continue to be a delicious and popular fruit. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，写出所缺单词的适当形式，补全短文。 Do you know about mangzhong (芒种)?

They spend so much time doing their homework or playing computers that their ciliary muscles can’t get enough rest. As a result, more and more t 10 have to wear glasses. Let’s take good care of our eyes now. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短文通顺。 The Natural History Museum in London holds a competition each year for photographers of wildlife.
