一、单项选择(本题共10分,每小题1分)
1. Nowadays, more and more old people like to dance in the ________ to keep healthy.
A. landscape B. palace C. square
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:如今,越来越多的老年人喜欢在广场跳舞以保持健康。
landscape风景;palace宫殿;square广场。根据“old people like to dance...to keep healthy”及生活常识可知,老年人跳舞健身通常是在广场,符合“广场舞”的语境,应填square。
2. —________ fantastic your vacation is! You went ________.
— Of course. I felt so relaxed there.
A. What, somewhere interesting B. How, anywhere interesting C. How, somewhere interesting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你的假期多棒啊!你去了某个有趣的地方。——当然,我在那里感觉很放松。
What多么;How多么;somewhere interesting某个有趣的地方;anywhere interesting任何有趣的地方。感叹句中how修饰形容词,somewhere用于肯定句,anywhere多用于否定句和疑问句,因此选How, somewhere interesting。
3. —Look at that tower! I’ve never seen ________ like it!
—That’s the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of France.
A. something B. anything C. everything
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看看那座塔!我从来没有见过这样的东西!——那是埃菲尔铁塔,法国的象征。
考查代词辨析。something某件事情,常用于肯定句中;anything任何事情,常用于疑问句和否定句中;everything每件事情,常用于肯定句中。根据“I’ve never seen...”可知,本句有否定词never,为否定句,所以用不定代词anything,故选B。
4. — Could you teach me how to swim?
— Yes, I ________. I ________ swim very well when I was eight.
A. can; could B. could; could C. can; can
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能教我如何游泳吗?——是的,我能。我八岁的时候就能游得很好了。
can能;could能(过去式)。根据“Yes, I...”可知是肯定回答现在的请求,用can;根据“when I was eight”可知是过去的时间状语,用could。因此选A。
5. Take it easy. ________ careful you are, ________ progress you will make.
A. The more, the less
B. The less, the fewer
C. The more, the more
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:别紧张。你越细心,取得的进步就越多。
The more, the less越多,越少;The less, the fewer越少,越少;The more, the more越多,越多。progress是不可数名词,结合语境,细心程度越高,进步越多,因此选The more, the more。
6. —Mom, please remind me ________ my tennis ball to school tomorrow.
—OK. But I’m a little ________ these days.
A. to take, unbelievable B. to take, forgetful C. of taking, strange
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——妈妈,请提醒我明天把网球带去学校。——好的。但是我这几天有点健忘。
第一空,“remind sb. to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“提醒某人做某事”,故用to take,排除C选项;第二空,根据转折连词“But”可知,妈妈虽然答应但有所顾虑,结合语境应是指自己最近容易忘事,unbelievable意为“难以置信的”,forgetful意为“健忘的”,strange意为“奇怪的”,forgetful“健忘的”符合题意。应填to take, forgetful。
7. I ________ do the dishes ________ my mom came back yesterday.
A. didn’t, after B. /, until C. didn’t, until
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天直到我妈妈回来我才洗碗。
didn’t没有;after在……之后;until直到……为止。此处表示“直到妈妈回来我才洗了碗”,not...until 表示“直到……才……”。根据时间状语“yesterday”和从句谓语“came”可知,句子为一般过去时,实义动词do的否定形式需借助助动词did构成didn’t,因此填didn’t;until。
8. Before cooking a dish, you need to ________ onions first and don’t forget to add some pepper ________ the dish.
A. pack up, with B. hang up, to C. cut up, to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:在做菜之前,你需要先切碎洋葱,并且别忘了往这道菜里加一些胡椒。
pack up打包;hang up悬挂/挂断电话;cut up切碎;with和;to到。第一空,做饭前处理洋葱的合理动作是切碎洋葱,只有cut up符合语境;第二空,add sth. to sth.“把某物添加到某物里”,是固定搭配,用介词to,表示别忘了往这道菜里加一些胡椒。应填cut up;to。
9. Lily will invite all her classmates ________ to her birthday party tonight and she imagines ________ a wonderful birthday.
A. to come, to have B. to come, having C. coming, to have
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:莉莉将邀请她所有的同学今晚来参加她的生日聚会,她想象着度过一个美好的生日。
invite sb. to do sth.意为“邀请某人做某事”,为固定搭配,故第一空填to come;imagine doing sth.意为“想象做某事”,imagine后接动名词作宾语,故第二空填having。因此选B。
10. —Are you familiar ________ the song in your singing club?
—Yes. This song is familiar ________ all my classmates in this club.
A. with, to B. to, with C. with, with
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你熟悉你们歌唱俱乐部里的这首歌吗?——是的。这首歌为我们俱乐部所有的同学所熟悉。
sb. be familiar with sth.某人熟悉某物,主语是人;sth. be familiar to sb.某物为某人所熟悉,主语是物。第一空主语是you(人),后面的宾语是the song(事物),所以填with;第二空主语是This song(事物),后面的宾语是all my classmates(人),所以填to。
11. —________ we go, our parents will miss us all the time.
—So, we should ________ the love our parents give us and look after them well.
A. No matter where, treasure
B. No matter where, believe
C. No matter how, disappoint
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——无论我们去哪里,我们的父母都会一直想念我们。——所以,我们应该珍惜父母给予我们的爱,并好好照顾他们。
No matter where无论哪里;No matter how无论如何;treasure珍惜;believe相信;disappoint使失望。根据第一空后“we go”可知,指地点,应用No matter where;根据第二空后“look after them well”可知,应珍惜父母的爱,应用treasure。
12. —The world will become ________ if people don’t protect our earth.
—We should do something at once!
A. most and most beautiful B. more and more beautiful C. less and less beautiful
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果人们不保护地球,世界将会变得越来越不美丽。我们应该立刻行动起来!
more and more+形容词,表示“越来越……”;most and most beautiful表达错误,more and more beautiful越来越美丽,less and less beautiful越来越不美丽,结合后文“people don’t protect our earth”可知选less and less beautiful。
13. Everyone on our planet should play a role ________ the environment.
A. to protect B. of protecting C. in protecting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们星球上的每个人都应该在保护环境方面发挥作用。
play a role in doing sth.“在……中发挥作用/扮演角色”,为固定用法,介词in后接动名词形式作宾语,应用in protecting,表示“在保护环境方面发挥作用”。
14. In order to get ________ study, I want to learn a second language ________ English.
A. further, except B. farther, besides C. further, besides
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了获得进一步的学习,我想学习除英语之外的另一门语言。
further表示抽象程度的“进一步”,farther表示实际距离的“更远”;besides表示“除……之外还有”,except 表示“除……之外没有”。根据“study”可知,此处指的是抽象程度,应用 further,排除选项B;根据“second language”可知,英语包含在内,应用besides,排除选项A。
15. Don’t expect everyone around you, especially your classmates, ________ you. Just be yourself!
A. like B. to like C. liking
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:不要期待你周围的每个人,尤其是你的同学,都喜欢你。做你自己就好!
固定搭配expect sb. to do sth.意为“期待某人做某事”。本题中expect后接宾语everyone,此处需用动词不定式to like作宾语补足语。两个逗号之间的“especially your classmates”为插入语,即对前文信息的举例解释,解题时可忽略。
16. A true friend will help you see the silver lining in difficult ________.
A. instructions B. situations C. connections
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:真正的朋友会帮助你在困难的处境中看到一线希望。
instructions指示;situations情况、处境;connections连接。根据前文“A true friend will help you see the silver lining”可知,此处指在困难的“处境”中,用situations,符合语境。
17. —Why do we plant so many trees along the river?
—Trees can help ________ the soil ________ being washed away (冲走) by heavy rain.
A. protect, from B. protect, to C. protect, with
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们为什么沿着河种这么多树?——树木可以帮助保护土壤不被大雨冲走。
此处指保护土壤不被冲走,固定搭配protect...from...意为“保护……免受……”,符合语境。B、C选项的介词搭配都不符合这个固定短语的用法。
18. According to the survey, twenty percent of the population ________ in cities now.
A. lives B. live C. living
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:根据调查,现在百分之二十的人口居住在城市里。
lives居住(第三人称单数);live居住(动词原形);living居住(现在分词)。根据“twenty percent of the population”可知,百分数修饰population指代居民个体时,谓语动词用复数形式;且句子缺少谓语,不能用分词。应填live。
19. —What should we ________ the tomatoes and eggs?
— First, cut the tomatoes into small pieces. Next, mix the eggs in a bowl.
A. do with B. deal with C. solve
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们应该怎么处理西红柿和鸡蛋?——首先,把西红柿切成小块。接下来,把鸡蛋在碗里混合。
do with处理/对待;deal with处理/应对;solve解决。what常与do with连用;how常与deal with连用;solve通常搭配problem。根据句首的What可知,应用 do with。
20. I live in a ________ village by myself. Although I live ________, I don’t feel ________.
A. lonely, alone, lonely B. alone, alone, lonely C. lonely, lonely, alone
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我独自住在一个偏僻的村子里。虽然我一个人住,但我并不觉得孤单。
alone独自、单独,侧重客观状态,常作表语或副词,不作定语;lonely孤独的、偏僻的,侧重主观感受或地点特征,可作定语或表语。第一空修饰名词village,表示“偏僻的”,作定语,需用形容词lonely;第二空修饰动词live,表示“独自”的客观事实,需用副词alone;第三空在系动词feel后,作表语,表示“孤独的”主观感受,用lonely。
21. The math problem is ________ difficult that ________ students can work it out.
A. so, a few B. so, few C. such, a few
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这道数学题如此难以至于几乎没有学生能解出来。
so如此,修饰形容词或副词;such这样的,修饰名词;few几乎没有,表示否定含义;a few一些。第一空后是形容词difficult,应用so修饰;根据前文“太难”可知,几乎没有学生能做出这道数学题,表否定含义,第二空应填few。
22. ________ students took part in running, but only some of them succeeded at last.
A. Two thousands B. Thousands of C. Thousand of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:数千名学生参加了跑步,但最后只有其中一些人成功了。
thousand前面有具体数字时用单数形式,不加of;表示概数时用复数形式,加of。本句应用Thousands of表示不确切数量。
23. —Could you please help me do the chores?
—________. Let’s sweep the floor first.
A. Not at all B. My pleasure C. With pleasure
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能帮我做家务吗?——乐意效劳。我们先扫地吧。
Not at all没关系,常用于回答感谢或表示不介意;My pleasure我的荣幸,不客气,常用于回答感谢;With pleasure乐意效劳,常用于回答请求,表示乐意去做。问句“Could you please...”是在请求帮助,结合空后的“Let’s sweep the floor first.”可知,此处表示“乐意帮忙”,With pleasure符合语境。
24. My parents always compare me ________ others. I feel so unhappy.
A. with B. to C. about
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的父母总是把我和其他人作比较。我感到很不开心。
with和;to向、到;about关于。compare...with...“把……和……作比较”,是固定搭配,应用介词with,表示“把我和其他人作比较”。
25. ________ my English teacher, my English grades improved a lot.
A. Thanks for B. Thanks to C. Reach for
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:多亏了我的英语老师,我的英语成绩进步了很多。
Thanks for因……而感谢;Thanks to多亏;Reach for伸手去拿。根据“my English grades improved a lot”可知,英语成绩进步了很多,此处表示进步的原因;Thanks to后接名词短语“my English teacher”,表示“多亏我的英语老师”,符合语境。
26. I can’t imagine ________ life will ________ without phones.
A. what, be like B. how, be like C. what, like
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我无法想象没有手机生活会是什么样子。
what什么;how如何;like像。分析句子可知,此处“imagine”后接宾语从句,询问事物状态“是什么样子的”,常用固定句型为“what...be like”,这里what在从句里作介词like的宾语,而how是疑问副词,不能充当宾语,因此第一空选what。“will”后面必须跟动词原形,like在这里是介词,要搭配be动词才能构成完整的谓语结构,所以第二空是be like。
27. On our planet, 30% of the water ________ polluted (污染) by people now.
A. is B. was C. are
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在我们的星球上,现在30%的水是被人类污染的。
主语“30% of the water”中“water”为不可数名词,谓语动词用单数,排除are;根据时间状语“now”可知,时态为一般现在时被动语态,排除was。应填is。
28. —What a lovely dog! It is ________ one I’ve ever seen.
—Yes. It reminds me ________ my own dog.
A. the most lively, of B. liveliest, with C. the liveliest, of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——多么可爱的一只狗啊!它是我见过的最活泼的一只。——是的。它让我想起了我自己的狗。
根据“I’ve ever seen”可知,是在所有见过的狗中进行比较,应用最高级,lively的最高级为liveliest,且形容词最高级前需加定冠词the,因此第一空填the liveliest;remind sb. of sth.为固定搭配,意为“使某人想起某物”,第二空应用介词of。
29. If you want to buy clothes, you can go to Summer Shop. That’s because you can buy ________ clothes there.
A. most cheaply B. cheapest C. the cheapest
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你想买衣服,你可以去夏日商店。那是因为在那里你可以买到最便宜的衣服。
空格处位于名词clothes之前,需用形容词修饰,most cheaply为副词最高级,故排除选项A;形容词最高级前需加定冠词the,因此填the cheapest。
30. — Helen, can I ________ your chess set?
— Sure, here you are. But you can only ________ it for two days.
A. lend, keep B. borrow, keep C. borrow, lend
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Helen,我能借你的国际象棋套装吗?——当然,给你。但你只能借两天。
borrow借入;lend借出;keep保留。第一空表示主语向对方“借入”某物,应用borrow;第二空与时间段“for two days”连用,谓语动词需用延续性动词keep。因此选B。
二.阅读理解
(A)
Taking action is the most important step if we want to start something new. As we know, the fear of failure will probably cause us not to have a try. If we don’t take action, we won’t create great results. The fear of failure could stop us or slow us down from taking action. So the best-known cure (疗法) for the fear of failure is also action—that’s right, action. It helps to quieten nerves (神经) and then leads to achievements little by little. For example, when we are asked to speak in public for the first time, we may probably have the fear of failure. What should we do now? The only way is to take action.
In this case, the first action is to write down our speech. Once we are happy with what we have written, the next action is to practice our speech out loud over and over again until we can recite (背诵) it in our sleep.
The next action is to give our speech to our family members instead of our classmates, schoolmates, workmates or teammates, especially other people in public (在公共场合). This is a good chance for us to see whether we have made any mistakes. We can do it without fear because they never laugh over our speech even if we have made many mistakes when we speak in front of them.
Action is the key. Take action to overcome fear. Do not let our weakness win — we can overcome it and win. In this way, we can surely overcome and cure the fear of failure.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
31. What does the underlined word “quieten” in the passage mean?
A. calm B. create C. clean
32. What may prevent us or slow us down from taking action?
A. Fearing failure. B. Starting something new. C. Creating results.
33. What is the first action when we are asked to speak in public for the first time?
A. To recite the speech in our sleep.
B. To write what we’ll say on paper.
C. To read the speech again and again.
34. Whom can we first give our speech to if we fear failure?
A. Our classmates or schoolmates.
B. Our workmates or teammates.
C. Our family members.
35. What is the best title for this text?
A. How to Find Our Fear
B. How to Quieten Our Nerves
C. How to Take Action
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章核心对象是“行动”与“对失败的恐惧”。核心结论是行动是克服恐惧的最佳疗法。行文探讨了为何需要行动以及如何通过具体步骤(如公开演讲前的准备)来采取行动。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“So the best-known cure for the fear of failure is also action—that’s right, action. It helps to quieten nerves and then leads to achievements little by little.”可知,行动能使人们逐步取得成就,因此此处描述行动对于神经的益处;结合选项可推知,此处表示行动能帮助平静神经从而取得成就,quieten在此处意为calm“使平静”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The fear of failure could stop us or slow us down from taking action.”可知,对失败的恐惧会阻止我们或减缓我们采取行动的速度。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For example, when we are asked to speak in public for the first time, we may probably have the fear of failure. What should we do now? The only way is to take action.”和第二段“In this case, the first action is to write down our speech.”可知,当第一次被要求公开演讲时,第一个行动是把要说的话写在纸上。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The next action is to give our speech to our family members...”可知,如果害怕失败,应先把演讲讲给家庭成员听。
【35题详解】
最佳标题题。全文围绕“行动是克服失败恐惧的核心,通过具体场景介绍如何采取分步行动战胜恐惧”展开,核心主题是如何通过采取行动克服对失败的恐惧,因此“How to Take Action”是最佳标题。

“Cooking is love made visible.” That is what my grandmother always told me. Thanks to her, I love cooking. It’s a great way for me to share my love with others. Every time I sit at the table after cooking for my family, we create memories. The smells and the food’s taste, along with our conversations, connect us to each other. What wonderful memories I have!
One of my favourite memories is my grandmother’s pumpkin pie. She always made it when the weather got colder. Her friendly kitchen was the perfect place to warm up and enjoy a taste of the changing seasons. I still remember the days when the smell of cinnamon filled the room with sweetness. Now, every time I smell cinnamon, I think of my grandmother’s pumpkin pie.
My grandmother told me about her first pumpkin pie. When she was a college student in the US, she stayed with a host family. One year around Thanksgiving, the hostess taught her how to make a pumpkin pie. Many years later, she taught me how to make it too.
My grandmother loved learning how to make food from other cultures. “It’s my way of making friends from around the world,” she said. Grandmother taught me the secret to cooking: Cook with love. Thanks to my grandmother, I love to try new food and new recipes from other countries and cultures.

(C)
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants to grow. As a matter of fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. They create honeycombs to store honey. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
56. We need one ________ to live, and bees are ________ the best examples of this connection.
57. On one trip, they often visit fifty to one ________ flowers.
58. ________ ________, with their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world can ________.

【答案】56. ①. another ②. among

【56题详解】
根据第一段“We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.”可知,我们需要彼此来生存,蜜蜂就是这种联系的最好例子之一。第一空,each other“彼此、互相”,同义表达为“one another”;第二空,“one of + 复数名词”表示“在……之中、其中之一”,同义表达为“among + 复数名词”。
【57题详解】
根据第二段“On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers.”可知,一次外出,它们常常拜访50到100朵花。100 = one hundred。
【58题详解】
根据第二段“As a matter of fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow.”可知,事实上,有了它们的劳作,世界上大约80%的植物才能够生长。第一、二空,As a matter of fact“事实上”,同义表达为In fact;第三空,双重否定转换为肯定含义,对应填grow。
【59题详解】
根据第二段“For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.”可知,许多科学家认为蜜蜂是这个星球上最重要的动物。“the most important animals on this planet”可转换为比较级结构“more important than all other animals”。
【60题详解】
根据第三段“They create honeycombs to store honey. ”可知,他们筑造蜂巢来储存蜂蜜。“to store honey”是动词不定式短语,作目的状语,可转换为in order to store honey。

Taking action is the most important step if we want to start something new. As we know, the fear of failure will probably cause us not to have a try. If we don’t take action, we won’t create great results. The fear of failure could stop us or slow us down from taking action. So the best-known cure (疗法) for the fear of failure is also action—that’s right, action. It helps to quieten nerves (神经) and then leads to achievements little by little. For example, when we are asked to speak in public for the first time, we may probably have the fear of failure. What should we do now? The only way is to take action.
In this case, the first action is to write down our speech. Once we are happy with what we have written, the next action is to practice our speech out loud over and over again until we can recite (背诵) it in our sleep.
The next action is to give our speech to our family members instead of our classmates, schoolmates, workmates or teammates, especially other people in public (在公共场合). This is a good chance for us to see whether we have made any mistakes. We can do it without fear because they never laugh over our speech even if we have made many mistakes when we speak in front of them.
Action is the key. Take action to overcome fear. Do not let our weakness win — we can overcome it and win. In this way, we can surely overcome and cure the fear of failure.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
31. What does the underlined word “quieten” in the passage mean?
A. calm B. create C. clean
32. What may prevent us or slow us down from taking action?
A. Fearing failure. B. Starting something new. C. Creating results.
33. What is the first action when we are asked to speak in public for the first time?
A. To recite the speech in our sleep.
B. To write what we’ll say on paper.
C. To read the speech again and again.
34. Whom can we first give our speech to if we fear failure?
A. Our classmates or schoolmates.
B. Our workmates or teammates.
C. Our family members.
35. What is the best title for this text?
A. How to Find Our Fear
B. How to Quieten Our Nerves

“Cooking is love made visible.” That is what my grandmother always told me. Thanks to her, I love cooking. It’s a great way for me to share my love with others. Every time I sit at the table after cooking for my family, we create memories. The smells and the food’s taste, along with our conversations, connect us to each other. What wonderful memories I have!
One of my favourite memories is my grandmother’s pumpkin pie. She always made it when the weather got colder. Her friendly kitchen was the perfect place to warm up and enjoy a taste of the changing seasons. I still remember the days when the smell of cinnamon filled the room with sweetness. Now, every time I smell cinnamon, I think of my grandmother’s pumpkin pie.
My grandmother told me about her first pumpkin pie. When she was a college student in the US, she stayed with a host family. One year around Thanksgiving, the hostess taught her how to make a pumpkin pie. Many years later, she taught me how to make it too.
My grandmother loved learning how to make food from other cultures. “It’s my way of making friends from around the world,” she said. Grandmother taught me the secret to cooking: Cook with love. Thanks to my grandmother, I love to try new food and new recipes from other countries and cultures.

Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants to grow. As a matter of fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. They create honeycombs to store honey. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
56. We need one ________ to live, and bees are ________ the best examples of this connection.
57. On one trip, they often visit fifty to one ________ flowers.
58. ________ ________, with their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world can ________.
