People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting mountain. The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn't hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved. The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts(旅馆) for birdwatchers. “The village has changed a lot, and we don't hunt birds anymore,” people say. Since people have stopped hunting, the police station now mainly works to save injured(受伤的) wildlife. 5. How many migratory birds live on Dazhong Mountain from September to February? 6.

V.阅读理解 The number of people living in the rainforest(雨林) is rising, but the rainforest itself is becoming smaller! During the 20th century, people cut down huge areas of rainforest. More and more people in Brazil and Indonesia moved into rainforest areas to find land for living. Local farmers cut down trees to grow crops(庄稼). Large companies have also moved into the rainforest to develop their factories. The problem is that the area of the rainforest is becoming smaller and smaller. Scientists say that people should stop destroying(破坏) the rainforest because it is harming the earth. But why? Rainforest plants help to clean the air. What's more, people can use different parts of rainforest plants to produce useful medicines. It may be the key to solving serious health problems. So how can we solve the problem? Governments can make some rules to protect their forests. Companies can create jobs elsewhere so that fewer people have to live and work in the rainforest. Governments should encourage farmers to plant crops in certain areas. This helps to protect the soil and produce better crops. For more than half of the plants and animals living in the rainforest, we can't find them anywhere else in the world. So it is important to make sure that people use and protect rainforest well. 28. Which of the following can describe the number of people living in the rainforest? 29. Why did some people in Brazil and Indonesia move into the rainforest areas? A. To live a quiet life. B. To find land for living. C. To enjoy the fresh air. 30. What does the underlined word “harming” in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese? A.拯救 B.损害 C.描述 31. How can farmers protect the rainforest? A.
