And at midnight, she 25 (wake) up by loud noises from time to time because there are many big factories around their house. Maria often thinks of her life in the countryside. One day Maria 26 (see) her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia could garden in the city. “My mom used to 27 (grow) vegetables. Now we don’t have a yard, so she can’t do it,” said Maria. Mrs. Garcia laughed, “I’ll show you.” Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia might 28 (take) her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋顶). When the door is open, Maria was surprised to see lots of flowers and vegetables on the roof. “What a wonderful garden! There are butterflies. And they 29 (fly)!” Maria cried. “I 30 (plant) them on the roof for a long time.

Earth is home for all living things—humans, animals, plants, and even tiny microbes (微生物). An ecologist is a scientist who studies the 33 between organisms (生物) and their environment. The environment is an organism’s surroundings. It may 34 water, gases, rocks, and temperature. An ecologist once asked a boy 35 he thought about protecting the environment. The boy said, “You go into the forest and look for somebody who wants to cut down a tree. You stop him and tell him how 36 trees are. They are good for natural beauty, saving soil, and giving shelter to birds and other animals.” “Good answer,” said the ecologist, “ 37 it may not be easy to find a woodcutter to talk to. Also, remember that sometimes it’s 38 to cut down a tree. If we cut down too many trees, the forest will disappear. If we don’t cut down any trees, we won’t get any resources from the forest. We have to find the right 39 .” The boy agreed, “We need the forest’s 40 for wood and paper or we might not have desks or notebooks for school.” “Exactly—and school is a good place to learn about ecology,” added the ecologist. “Then you will know how to protect the natural environment.” 31．A．proved B．invented C．marked D．accepted 32．A．planet B．building C．project D．surface 33．A．feeling B．relationships C．distance D．competitions 34．A．pollute B．control C．include D．reduce 35．A．who B．whose C．why D．what 36．A．wild B．common C．wealthy D．important 37．A．but B．and C．so D．or 38．A．comfortable B．tiring C．impossible D．necessary 39．A．mystery B．temperature C．balance D．symbol 40．A．soil B．resources C．landscape D．wildlife It’s March 12th.

In 1915, April 5th was named as Tree Planting Day. Then, in 1979, the day was 44 to March 12th, to 45 the date on which Sun Zhongshan died. The Gobi Desert in the north of China was 46 every year. So in 1978, the government started a tree planting project to 47 the Gobi spreading. The government and local farmers have been planting millions of trees to build a great green “wall” along the edge of the desert. “Have you heard of the Green Wall of China? That’s the biggest tree planting 48 of all.” says Li Li. “Tree planting has become a tradition in China now,” says Lin Tao. “Almost everyone does it on March 12th.
