Wetlands are any land that is flooded with shallow water all or most of the time. They are a natural water holding system.

There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the three main types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants. Only mosses(苔藓)and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs. Grassy plants like cattails（香蒲）and reeds(芦苇)are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes, a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It’s not a good idea to go exploring a swamp without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big crocodiles(鳄鱼)looking for their next meal.

Hungry crocodiles aren’t the only animals that make the wetlands their home. Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands seasonally during their long migrations.

Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals. A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent floods, and restore underground water supplies.

According to WWF, more than half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal species will surely die out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money treating water. Don’t feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now. Here are some ideas.

24．According to Paragraph 2, what can you see in a swamp?

A．Mosses. B．Cattails. C．Reeds. D．Trees.

25．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Wetlands are a man-made water holding system.

B．There are three types of wetlands in the world.

C．People can not meet with big crocodiles in wetlands.

D．Wetlands can protect shorelines and prevent floods.

26．What is the writer probably going to talk about after Paragraph 5?

A．What are the different types of wetlands?

B．What will happen if wetlands disappear?

C．What actions can people take to protect wetlands?

D．What other kinds of plants and animals live in wetlands?

The Horsetail Fall (瀑布) is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing views. Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle (角度) to light the upper parts of the waterfall. And when conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava (熔岩) pouring down from the top of the El Capitan. So, it got the name “firefall”.

The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall too. So there must be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water on warm afternoons.

The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. And the best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents.

Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. Although the view may appear just minutes before sunset, many of them have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite Firefall is something you don’t want to miss during the winter,” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the lead content creator for ParkedInParadise.com.

27．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ________.

A．how the firefall got its name B．why it’s easy to see the firefall

C．who was the first to find the firefall D．on which day we can visit the frefall

28．What can we know about the firefall?

A．It lasts for half an hour before the sunset.

B．It usually appears on wet, warm and cloudy days.

C．Rivers provide enough flowing water to make a fall.

D．Its best watching place is the El Capitan Picnic Area.

29．From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer that ________.

A．the firefall is worth seeing B．it’s dangerous to watch the firefall

C．the firefall brings little surprise D．it’s a waste of time to visit the firefall

30．What’s the theme of the passage?

A．Art. B．Nature. C．Technology. D．History.

D

Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood when he was 12. His parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People usually laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tiger, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tiger waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power（力量）it has!”

One day, when his parents were away. Pat managed to open the safe, although he was nervous. To his surprise, he found only a book of stamps inside.
