Soon after, a tall man in a long overcoat hurried over. “Is that you, Bob?” he asked. “Jimmy!” Bob cried, shaking his old friend's hands. They walked down the street, chatting happily about the past. Suddenly, the tall man stopped. “You’re under arrest (逮捕), Bob. Chicago police want you,” he said, handing Bob a note. Bob unfolded it and read: “I was at the meeting place on time.

It sounds unusual, but it’s true. Each player does an important job, but they can’t win by themselves, so they work together. The same is true of all plants and animals in a forest. They depend on each other to live. We call this an ecosystem. There are three jobs in an ecosystem: producer, consumer and decomposer. The trees in the forest produce food by themselves. Giraffes themselves can’t make their own food, so they consume or eat the trees’ leaves. But sometimes hungry lions or other animals eat giraffes. When animals die, their bodies become part of the soil (土壤) and air to help the forest grow. So the ecosystem can keep on going. Ecosystems come in lots of kinds and sizes. A backyard or even a big sea can be an ecosystem. The key thing is that an ecosystem has to be balanced. If there weren’t animals to eat giraffes, giraffes would eat too many leaves. This wouldn’t be good for the trees, and this would make it difficult for giraffes to find food. Different weather and natural disasters can change the ecosystems. Human activities like cutting down trees and hunting can also bring problems. Ecosystems are everywhere. They play an important part in our life. It is necessary for us to do what we can to keep them working well. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过9个词。 1. How many jobs are there in an ecosystem? ___________________________________________________________ 2. If the crane lives mainly on small animals, what is it in an ecosystem according to Paragraph 2? ___________________________________________________________ 3. What’s the most important thing in an ecosystem? ___________________________________________________________ 4. What may cause an ecosystem to change? ___________________________________________________________ 5. What can we do to help protect the ecosystem? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】本文主要介绍了生态系统的三种工作：生产者、消费者和分解者。生态系统无处不在，它们在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。我们有必要尽我们所能保持它们的正常运转。 1. 题干意思是：一个生态系统中有多少种工作？根据第2段“There are three jobs in an ecosystem: producer, consumer and decomposer.（一个生态系统有三种工作：生产者、消费者和分解者。）”可知答案为Three。 2. 题干意思是：如果鹤主要以小动物为食，那么它在生态系统中的角色是什么？根据第3段“Giraffes themselves can’t make their own food, so they consume or eat the trees’ leaves.（长颈鹿本身无法自己制造食物，所以它们消耗或吃树木的叶子。）”可知答案为A consumer. 3. 题干意思是：一个生态系统中最重要的是什么？根据第4段“The key thing is that an ecosystem has to be balanced.（关键的一点是生态系统必须是平衡的。）”可知答案为An ecosystem has to be balanced. 4. 题干意思是：什么会导致生态系统发生变化？根据第4段“Different weather and natural disasters can change the ecosystems. Human activities like cutting down trees and hunting can also bring problems.（不同的天气和自然灾害可以改变生态系统。人类活动，如砍伐树木和狩猎，也会带来问题。）”可知答案为Different weather, natural disasters and human activities。 5. 题干意思是：我们可以做些什么来帮助保护生态系统？根据最后一段“It is necessary for us to do what we can to keep them working well.（我们有必要尽我们所能让它们正常运转。）”可知答案为We should keep the ecosystems working well. （7） Rivers are important. Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans. The water flows (流动) from high ground to low ground. At first, rivers are small and are called creeks or streams. As water enters from other streams, a river grows. Some rivers become very large and long. The longest river in the world is the Nile River, in Africa. One of the world’s oldest civilizations (文明) developed next to it. How much do you know about this great river? The Nile River is the “Father of African Rivers”. The Nile is 6,671 km long. The river runs from south to north, beginning in the mountains of Burundi and ending in the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile played an important role in the development of ancient Egypt (埃及). It ran through ancient Egypt, bringing water to plants and a wide river to ships. The river was full of fish and the banks were full of good things for ancient Egyptians (埃及人) to eat. Each spring, snow on the mountain tops would become water. That was a very good thing. When the water passed by, it left behind good soil. Plants could grow well in the black and rich soil. The Egyptians called it “the gift of the Nile”. The Nile provided other gifts for ancient Egyptians. Papyrus (纸莎草), used for everything especially in making paper, grew along its banks. This amazing river remains important for Egyptians to this day. More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within (在…范围内) a few miles of the river banks. Canals (运河) bring water from the Nile to water farms and support cities. And it is not just important for humans — the river and its banks are home to lots of wonderful wildlife, too — including different kinds of fish and birds, as well as turtles, snakes, hippos and one of our planet’s largest reptiles — the Nile crocodile (鳄鱼)! Although Egypt is in the middle of a desert, life along the Nile is wonderful. 1. What does the first paragraph (段落) mainly talk about? ___________________________________________________________ 2. Where does the Nile River flow into? ___________________________________________________________ 3. What did the Nile provide for ancient Egyptians? (至少写出两种) ___________________________________________________________ 4. How do you know the Nile is still important for Egyptians today? ___________________________________________________________ 5. What does the writer think of life along the Nile? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1. 段意理解题。根据第1段“As water enters from other streams, a river grows.（当水从其他溪流进入时，一条河就会生长。）”可知第一段讲述的是一条河是怎样形成的。故答案为：It talks about how a river grows. 2. 细节理解题。根据第3段“The river runs from south to north, beginning in the mountains of Burundi and ending in the Mediterranean Sea.（这条河从南到北，从布隆迪山区开始，最后流入地中海。）”可知流入地中海。故答案为：The Mediterranean Sea. 3. 细节归纳题。根据第4段“The river was full of fish and the banks were full of good things for ancient Egyptians (埃及人) to eat.（河里满是鱼，河岸上满是古埃及人吃的好东西。）”和第5段“Each spring, snow on the mountain tops would become water. That was a very good thing. When the water passed by, it left behind good soil. Plants could grow well in the black and rich soil. （每年春天，山顶上的雪都会变成水。这是一件非常好的事情。水经过时，留下了肥沃的土壤。植物在黑色肥沃的土壤中生长良好。）” 可知有鱼，水和土壤等等。故答案为：Fish, water, soil and so on. 4. 细节理解题。根据第6段“This amazing river remains important for Egyptians to this day. More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within (在…范围内) a few miles of the river banks.（这条令人惊叹的河流至今对埃及人仍然很重要。该国95%以上的人口依靠水源，生活在离河岸几英里的范围内。）”可知因为该国95%以上的人口依靠水源，生活在离河岸几英里的范围内。故答案为：More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within a few miles of the river banks. 5. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although Egypt is in the middle of a desert, life along the Nile is wonderful.（虽然埃及位于沙漠之中，但尼罗河沿岸的生活是美好的。）”可知是美好的。故答案为：It is wonderful. （8） Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, is a city with a long history and rich culture.
