The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction, ” according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies. U. S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter. The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered. 24. How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered? A. 13. B. 28. C. 48. D. 50. 25. Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee? A. Planting native plants. B. Reducing the use of pesticide products. C. Leaving plants alone. D. Cutting out plants regularly. 26. What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text? A. All the states declared it as endangered species. B. It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly. C. It is beneficial to land owners. D. It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss. 27. What s the best title for the passage? A. Bumblebee added to U. S. endangered species listB. Why bumblebee is on the brink of extinctionC. Take steps to help bumblebeeD. The benefits of protecting bumblebeeCOn Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fishsand eelslying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid. Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland? Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout. Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful; anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances sometimes over 150 kilometers. It s very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid. For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico In Mexico. It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change, global warming and many reports of terrible natural disasters, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs? 28. What was the rain like on 24 August 1918? A. It was very heavy. B. It fell around England. C. It lasted quite a long time. D. It caused many human deaths. 29. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland? A. They were few in number. B. They came in different sizes. C. They were still alive when landing. D. They probably came from the North Sea. 30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Clouds. B. Waterspouts. C. Strong winds. D. The waters of the sea. 31. In the end, what does the author probably care most about? A. Our health. B. Our environment. C. The wild animals. D. The news reports. DMore than 100 scientists from 25 countries have traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds(种子) in an effort to help battle climate change. The scientists, who have been compared to the heroes of the “Indiana Jones” movies, traveled on foot, four-wheeled vehicles(交通工具), boats, horses and even elephants to reach faraway areas. They faced extreme heat, dust, and danger from wild animals. At last, they collected 4, 644 seeds of 371 wild relatives of 28 world crops, many of which are said to be endangered. The Crop Trust, an organization that works to save different kinds of crops, is directing the project. The group is working in partnership with Britain s Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support comes from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops wild relatives. Hannes Dempewolf is a scientist and the head at the Crop Trust. He said“What these seed collectors went through in the field resembles scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. ”Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, climate change and expanded cities. The newly-found wild seeds have developed so plants can grow in extreme temperatures, poor soils, and even in low rainfall areas. A United Nations report says that food production is at risk because of a shortage of rain and other weather extremes connected to climate change. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization says that the number of plant species is quickly decreasing and people are depending on fewer species for food. Those wild seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population in some areas and offer a largely unused source of diversity(多样性) to crops. 32. What does the second paragraph show? A. Collecting seeds is not an easy job. B. The scientists story is made into a movie. C. The wild seeds are in danger of extinction. D. The scientists can choose from many vehicles. 33. What does the underlined word “resembles”in the third paragraph mean? A. Depends on.B. Looks like. C. Turns out. D. Refers to. 34. What is the advantage of the newly-found wild seeds? A. They can increase green areas. B. They can provide more nutrientsC. They can survive bad conditions. D. They can improve existent crop seeds. 35. What is the meaning of the scientists collecting wild seeds? A. Bringing more plant species to the world. B. Helping farmers improve their farming skills. C. Knowing about the world s farming practices. D. Helping battle climate change. 第二节(共 5 小题; 每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项A pile of homework can seem daunting.
