The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly.

Our farm couldn’t have so many fruits and vegetables 11 bees!” Uncle said with a smile on his face. “Wow! I know the 12 of bees to us,” Emma said and she changed her mind from then on. She fell in love with these special 13 . “So next time you eat an apple or a pear, remember to 14 the bees!” Uncle said. “We will!

It looks like a person who is welcoming guests from all over the world.”可知,迎客松因其形状而得名(外形像欢迎客人的人)。故选A。 17.细节理解题。根据“Desert poplar (胡杨) Location: Xinjiang”可知,新疆的代表性树木是胡杨,因此去新疆最有可能看到胡杨。故选B。   18.细节理解题。根据“The famous Dahongpao oolong tea comes from these trees.”可知,大红袍母树的叶子被用来制作著名的乌龙茶。故选A。 19.细节理解题。根据“An ancient banyan tree in Tianma village...

For three he plays, for three he strays (游荡), and for the last three he stays.” Why do people say cats have nine lives? 31 Here are two of them. First, cats are very good at jumping. They evolved (进化) from living in trees, so they know how to jump up and down. 32 Second, cats have better senses than humans. 33 And they have an excellent sense of smell. With these strong senses, they can easily avoid (避开) danger. We often think about why people say cats have nine lives, but do you know why the number is nine? 34 Some cultures see the number nine as a magical number, while others believe it is a symbol of good luck, strength and long life. That’s why “nine” is the perfect number to describe cats’ amazing skills. 35 We should love and protect them, and cherish (珍惜) the joy they bring to our lives every day. A.Well, there are several reasons. B.The number nine has special meanings in many cultures. C.They can hear well, see clearly in the dark. D.They can fall from high places and still land on their feet. E.Although cats can avoid danger, they still have only one life.

It looked thin but had bright blue eyes. I felt sorry for it and gave it some food. One rainy day, I found it waiting at my door. It meowed softly as if saying hello. This surprised and warmed my heart. Now, I plan to feed it regularly and build a small house for it. I will also tell friends to be kind to animals. We should live in harmony with nature. 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材:本文是一篇记叙文,主题为“我最喜欢的猫”; ②时态:时态为“一般过去时”和“一般现在时”; ③提示:写作要点已给出,包括第一次相遇的场景、一次印象深刻的相处事件以及未来如何更好地呵护它、与它和谐相处。 [写作步骤] 第一步,表明写作意图。借用“I met a little white cat near my home last spring”来引出重点介绍的内容; 第二步,具体阐述写作内容。从“相遇场景、印象深刻的事件”等方面重点介绍与猫的相处情况; 第三步,书写结语。表达“未来会更好地呵护猫,与它和谐相处”的愿望。 [亮点词汇] ①regularly 定期地 ②as if 好像 ③live in harmony with 与……和谐相处 [高分句型] ①It meowed softly as if saying hello.(as if引导方式状语从句) 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权,侵权必究!1 学科网(北京)股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
