Do you know that bees are one of the most important creatures on Earth? They pollinate about 75% of the world’s crops. Without bees, many of our favourite foods would disappear. Unfortunately, bee populations are declining at an alarming rate.
There are several reasons for this decline. One major reason is the use of pesticides in farming. These chemicals harm bees and make it difficult for them to find food. Another reason is habitat loss. As cities expand, wildflowers and natural areas where bees live are disappearing. Climate change also affects bees by changing the seasons and the availability of flowers.
What can we do to help bees? First, we can plant more flowers that bees love, such as lavender and sunflowers. We can also avoid using pesticides in our gardens. Supporting local beekeepers by buying honey is another good idea. Finally, we can educate others about the importance of bees.
Protecting bees is not just about saving a single species. It is about protecting our food supply and the health of our planet. Every small action counts.
( ) 26. What percentage of the world’s crops do bees pollinate?
A. About 50%.B. About 75%.C. About 90%.D. About 25%.
( ) 27. Which is NOT a reason for the decline in bee populations?
A. Use of pesticides.B. Habitat loss.C. Climate change.D. Too many flowers.
( ) 28. What can we do to help bees according to the passage?
A. Use more pesticides.B. Plant fewer flowers.C. Plant bee-friendly flowers and avoid pesticides.D. Cut down trees.
( ) 29. Why is protecting bees important?
A. Because they produce honey.B. Because they are beautiful.C. Because they help pollinate crops and maintain the ecosystem.D. Because they are easy to keep.
( ) 30. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Bees are dangerous insects.B. We should kill bees.C. Bees are in danger and we should help protect them.D. Bees only live in cities.
B
The giant panda is one of the world’s most beloved animals. Native to China, they are known for their black and white fur and gentle nature. However, they are also one of the most endangered species.
There are about 1,800 pandas living in the wild. They mainly live in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Bamboo makes up 99% of their diet. A panda can eat up to 40 kilograms of bamboo a day! Because bamboo does not provide much nutrition, pandas need to eat a lot to survive.
Pandas face several threats. The main threat is habitat loss. As human activities expand, bamboo forests are being cut down. This reduces the pandas’ food supply and living space. Climate change is also a problem. It may cause bamboo to flower and die at the same time, leaving pandas without food.
China has made great efforts to protect pandas. More than 50 nature reserves have been set up. Breeding programs have also been successful. In recent years, the panda population has slowly increased. The panda has become a symbol of wildlife conservation worldwide.
( ) 31. Where do giant pandas mainly live?
A. In the grassland of China.B. In the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu.C. In the mountains of Tibet.D. In the zoos of Beijing.
( ) 32. How much bamboo does a panda eat every day?
A. About 20 kg.B. About 30 kg.C. About 40 kg.D. About 50 kg.
( ) 33. What is the main threat to pandas?

( ) 34. How many nature reserves have been set up for pandas?
A. About 30.B. About 40.C. About 50.D. About 60.

Human-wildlife conflict is a growing problem in many parts of the world. As human populations expand, we come into closer contact with wild animals. This can lead to dangerous situations for both people and animals.
In India, elephants sometimes enter villages in search of food. They can destroy crops and houses, and sometimes even injure people. In Africa, lions may attack livestock, leading to farmers killing them in revenge. Such conflicts often result in the death of wild animals.
There are ways to reduce these conflicts. One method is to create buffer zones between human settlements and wildlife habitats. Another is to use non-lethal deterrents, such as electric fences or bright lights, to keep animals away. Education is also important. When people understand the importance of wildlife, they are more willing to coexist peacefully.
Some communities have found creative solutions. In Kenya, for example, some farmers are using “lion lights” — flashing lights that mimic the movement of humans — to keep lions away from their cattle. This reduces the need to kill lions. In India, efforts are being made to restore natural habitats so that elephants have enough food without entering villages.
Human-wildlife conflict is a complex issue, but with cooperation and innovation, we can find ways for people and animals to share the planet.
( ) 36. What is human-wildlife conflict?
A. Animals attacking humans for fun.B. The negative interactions between humans and wild animals.C. Humans destroying animal habitats.D. Animals helping humans.
( ) 37. Why do elephants sometimes enter villages in India?
A. To find shelter.B. To search for food.C. To attack people.D. To play with children.
( ) 38. What is one way to reduce human-wildlife conflict mentioned in the passage?
A. Killing all wild animals.B. Creating buffer zones and using deterrents.C. Moving people to cities.D. Building more houses.
( ) 39. What are “lion lights” used for in Kenya?
A. To attract lions.B. To keep lions away from cattle.C. To decorate farms.D. To provide light at night.
( ) 40. What is the writer’s opinion about solving human-wildlife conflict?
A. It is impossible to solve.B. Cooperation and innovation can help.C. Only killing animals can solve it.D. People should move away from animals.

Saving the Sea Turtles
Sea turtles have been living in the oceans for over 100 million years. They are an important part of the marine ecosystem. However, today all seven species of sea turtles are threatened or endangered.
There are many reasons for this. One major problem is plastic pollution. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, which is their favourite food. Eating plastic can block their stomachs and cause death. Another problem is fishing nets. Turtles can get trapped in nets and drown. Climate change also affects sea turtles. The temperature of the sand determines the sex of baby turtles. Warmer temperatures produce more females, which can upset the balance.
Some people are working hard to help sea turtles. In Costa Rica, volunteers protect turtle nests from predators. They also help baby turtles reach the sea safely. In many countries, laws have been passed to protect turtles and their nesting beaches. Scientists are also studying turtle migration patterns to better understand and protect them.
We can all help sea turtles by reducing our use of plastic, supporting conservation organizations, and spreading awareness about the dangers turtles face.
56. How many species of sea turtles are threatened or endangered?
57. Why do sea turtles eat plastic?
58. How does climate change affect sea turtles?
59. What do volunteers do in Costa Rica to help sea turtles?
60. What can we do to help sea turtles? (Give two examples)

The main threat to rhinos is [63] ______ (poach). Their horns are highly valued in some cultures for traditional [64] ______ (medicine) uses. This has led to a [65] ______ (dramatically) decrease in rhino populations. In addition, habitat loss [66] ______ (due) to human activities has reduced their living space.
Many conservation efforts [67] ______ (carry) out to protect rhinos. In South Africa, the government has increased anti-poaching patrols.

八、书面表达(参考范文)
Protecting Endangered Animals
Many wild animals are in danger today. Their numbers are decreasing and they are losing their natural habitats. The main reasons are human activities like deforestation, pollution and illegal hunting. For example, tigers and rhinos are hunted for their body parts. This is very cruel and pushes them closer to extinction.
We must take action to protect these animals. Governments should make stricter laws and enforce them. We should also set up more nature reserves and stop buying products made from endangered animals. Everyone can help by learning more about wildlife and spreading awareness. I believe that if we work together, we can save these beautiful creatures and keep our planet diverse. Let’s act now before it’s too late.
