Every plant, animal, and even tiny microbe plays a role in keeping the ecosystem balanced. When one part of the system changes, it can affect everything else. Forests are one of the most important ecosystems on Earth. Trees produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide homes for countless animals. When forests are cut down, many species lose their homes, and the air becomes less clean. Even small changes, like removing one type of plant, can break the balance. Wetlands are another vital ecosystem. They act like natural sponges, absorbing extra water during floods and slowly releasing it later. They also filter pollution from water and provide food and shelter for birds, fish, and insects. Wetlands are often called the “kidneys of the Earth” because of their cleaning function. The ocean is the largest ecosystem on the planet. It produces more than half of the world’s oxygen and regulates the climate. Coral reefs, which are home to thousands of species, are especially important. When coral reefs are damaged by pollution or rising temperatures, many marine animals lose their habitats. People depend on healthy ecosystems for food, water, and clean air. But human activities like pollution, deforestation, and overfishing are harming these systems. By protecting ecosystems, we are not only saving plants and animals but also protecting our own future. 1. The underlined word “vital”in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. common B. important C. simple D. useless 2. What can we infer about healthy ecosystems from the passage? A. They can easily recover from any human damage. B. They are only important for plants and animals. C. They depend on the balance of all living and non-living parts. D. They are not affected by changes in one species. 3. Which of the following is mentioned as a threat to ecosystems in the passage? A. More people learning about nature B. Planting more trees in cities C. Overfishing and pollution D. Building new nature reserves 4. According to the passage, what is a key role of wetlands? A. They produce most of the world’s oxygen. B. They act as natural sponges and filter water. C. They are the largest ecosystem on Earth. D. They are home to all marine animals. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Protecting ecosystems is essential for both nature and humans. B. Ecosystems are only affected by natural changes. C. Forests are the most important type of ecosystem. D. Wetlands are known as the “lungs of the Earth”. 三、写作。 写一篇80词左右的短文，介绍校园“绿色周（Go Green Week）”的周末户外自然体验活动安排，号召同学们参与校园环保活动。 要求： 1. 不得出现真实姓名和学校； 2. 行文连贯，条理清晰； 3. 至少使用3个本单元的重点短语。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：基于中职学生英语知识不牢固、学习内驱力不够的学情特点，为了更好地提高学生的学习效率，辅助教师们抓好课前、课中、课后三个教学环节，本专辑深度解读最新的《中等职业学校英语课程标准》，匠心打造了契合山西职教高考命题特色的【山西专用】《英语 拓展模块》（外研版第二版）《一课一练》专辑，专辑共40练。 本卷为《英语 拓展模块》（外研版第二版）Unit 3 We Are Part of Nature（Reading & Writing）的课前预习和课堂检测。 《英语 拓展模块》（外研版第二版) Unit 3 We Are Part of Nature 一课一练（12） Reading & Writing 【课前预习】 1、 课前预习 (1.)（根据汉语意思写出英文单词或短语） 1. 大草原 prairie 2. 草原 grassland 3. 位于；在于 lie 4. 在……下面 beneath 5. 一片（地域或水域） a stretch of 6. 看到 catch sight of 7. 过程 process 8. 把……联系起来 link 9. 土壤；土地 soil 10. 气候 climate 11. 活（着）的 living 12. 段落 paragraph 13. 查明；弄清 find out (2)句型预习（根据课文内容完成句子） 1.
