(河北中考)Some people see oysters(牡蛎)as delicious food. But some raise oysters to clean up the polluted seawater. Amy, a 15yearold girl, is one of them. She has won a master oyster gardener prize this year. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars.
“I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it. The course is about raising oysters in cages,” Amy says.
There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says.
“You don't have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says.
During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mum go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.
This spring, Amy's oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs. So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She's a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too.
( )1.What does Amy think of oysters?
A.Huge.
B.Clean.
C.Helpful.
D.Delicious.
( )2.When did Amy get to know about raising oysters?
A.After she joined a research team.
B.After she won a competition.
C.After she attended a free course.
D.After she cleaned up the seawater.
( )3.What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Grown.
B.Fallen.
C.Disappeared.
D.Remained.
( )4.Why does Amy pull the cages out of water weekly?
A.To feed the oysters.
B.To mix the oysters.
C.To check the oysters.
D.To name the oysters.

阅读短文,从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项。
China has many wetlands, and some of them are very special.1._ The wetland is located in the northern part of China and is famous for its mangrove(红树林)forests and reed marshes(芦苇沼泽).
Mangroves are special trees that grow in salty water. They are very important because they protect the land from flooding and strong winds. 2._ The air is fresh, and the view is amazing. You can also see many kinds of plants and animals there. Every year, many tourists visit Liaoning to see the mangroves and learn about nature.
However, mangroves are not just important for tourism. 3._ They help clean water and air, store carbon to fight climate change, and provide homes for animals like birds and fish. Sadly, some people want to destroy these wetlands to build more houses and roads. If this behaviour continues, many animals will lose their homes.
Luckily, many people are realising the importance of mangrove wetlands. 4._ Every year on 2nd February, World Wetlands Day, activities are held to teach people about the value of wetlands and the reasons why we need to save them.
A.Mangroves are popular for scientific research.
B.And people try their best to protect them.
C.The Liaoning Mangrove Wetland is one of them.
D.They also create a beautiful place for people to visit.
E.They play a key role in protecting the environment.
