We lived on an 18 in the Indian Ocean. In the happy old days, there was 19 food to eat. All the other animals were 20 . What a peaceful and safe life! However, in 1598, humans 21 . They cut down the trees and our lovely 22 was gone. They 23 us because we were slow and couldn’t fly. What’s more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. As a result, we soon died 24 . So today we are standing in museums around the world. When you see us, please remember our sad story. The world is 25 of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them.

Orange juice is a wonderful drink! It is sweet and tasty. It can help keep you healthy, too. Let’s find out how orange juice gets to your breakfast table! Orange trees grow in warm (温暖的) and sunny places. You can often find them near rivers because they need lots of water to grow. Some orange trees can grow to about 30 feet (英尺) high! In the spring, the trees have white flowers. Later, these flowers change into oranges. An orange tree can grow about 1,200 oranges in a year! When the oranges are big enough, farmers pick (采摘) them by hand. Sometimes they use machines (机器) to pick oranges. Then they send the oranges to a juicing plant (榨汁厂). What happens to the oranges at the juicing plant? First, workers squeeze the oranges, and get the juice. They put the juice into bottles. Then they move the bottles onto big trucks. Finally, the orange juice is ready to go to stores. People can buy and enjoy the tasty juice! 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 26．Orange trees are often near rivers because ________.

Sometimes they use machines to pick oranges.”，说明农民既用手摘也用机器摘橙子。 29．第二段开头明确指出：“Orange trees grow in warm and sunny places.”，因此A 项正确；文中花是白色而非橙色，工人是装果汁而非装橙子，B、C项错误。 30．本文介绍植物生长和生产过程，属于生物知识类内容，因此最可能出现在生物书上。 Hello, I’m Jenny.

In the desert, there is a lot of strong sunlight, but not much rain. It may not rain for a long time. When it does rain, the water dries up fast. So, desert plants must use water carefully to live in the hot, dry desert. Many kinds of cactuses live in the desert. Most have sharp spines. These spines are a type of leaf (一种叶子). Some spines are short. They can help shade (遮住光线) the cactuses from the hot sun. Some spines are long. They can help rainwater go down to the roots. To get water quickly, cactus roots do not need to go deep into the earth, but they go far away. When it rains, the roots grow fast. This helps the cactuses take in more water. Cactuses keep the water inside their stems. The stems can get bigger to hold (储存) more water. Cactuses use water slowly. That helps them live when there is no rain.

It may not rain for a long time. When it does rain, the water dries up fast. So, desert plants must use water carefully to live in the hot, dry desert. Many kinds of cactuses live in the desert. Most have sharp spines. These spines are a type of leaf (一种叶子). Some spines are short. They can help shade (遮住光线) the cactuses from the hot sun. Some spines are long. They can help rainwater go down to the roots. To get water quickly, cactus roots do not need to go deep into the earth, but they go far away. When it rains, the roots grow fast. This helps the cactuses take in more water. Cactuses keep the water inside their stems. The stems can get bigger to hold (储存) more water. Cactuses use water slowly. That helps them live when there is no rain. We can learn a lot from cactuses about how to save water and use it wisely! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 36．What does Paragraph 1 talk about?
