Wetlands! Valuable Resources on the Earth
There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home to many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

A. east B. south C. west D. north

You can also see different kinds of birds in open spaces such as Hampstead Heath and Little Wormwood Scrubs. These open spaces are home to more than 200 different kinds of birds.
Wetlands and waterways
There are a lot of wetlands and waterways in and around London. The Thames is the best place to head to for birdwatching. Here, you’re likely to see cormorants, ducks and gulls. You should also head to the Barking Riverside when the tide is low.

The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years. The list is calling on people to search for the rarest (最珍稀的) birds on Earth.
There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.
This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.
( ) 38. How many kinds of birds are on the Search-for-Lost-Birds list?
A. Four. B. Eight. C. Ten. D. Fifteen.
( ) 39. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Changes of the living areas of the birds.
B. Suggestions on how to protect the birds.
C. Reasons for the disappearances of the birds.
D. Steps of building natural homes for the birds.
( ) 40. What can we learn about the Madagascar pochard?

Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways?
Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends (假装) to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. They are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.
( ) 42. A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.
A. getting closer to its young
B. driving away the adult predator
C. leaving its young in another nest
D. pretending to be injured
( ) 43. By saying “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky.”, the writer
means ________.
A. chimps are ready to attack others
B. chimps are sometimes dishonest
C. chimps are jealous of the winners
D. chimps can be selfish too
( ) 44. What does the story mainly want to tell us?
A. Animals can also tell lies.
B. Honesty helps animals survive.
C. Mother Nature can fool animals.
D. Animals learn to lie from childhood.
( ) 45. Where can you probably find the passage?
A. A tourist guide.
B. A physics book.
C. A nature magazine.
D. An advertisement.

Wetlands! Valuable Resources on the Earth
There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home to many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

A. east B. south C. west D. north

You can also see different kinds of birds in open spaces such as Hampstead Heath and Little Wormwood Scrubs. These open spaces are home to more than 200 different kinds of birds.
Wetlands and waterways
There are a lot of wetlands and waterways in and around London. The Thames is the best place to head to for birdwatching. Here, you’re likely to see cormorants, ducks and gulls. You should also head to the Barking Riverside when the tide is low.

The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years. The list is calling on people to search for the rarest (最珍稀的) birds on Earth.
There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.
This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.
( ) 38. How many kinds of birds are on the Search-for-Lost-Birds list?
A. Four. B. Eight. C. Ten. D. Fifteen.
( ) 39. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Changes of the living areas of the birds.

Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways?
Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends (假装) to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. They are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.
( ) 42. A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.
A. getting closer to its young
B. driving away the adult predator
C. leaving its young in another nest
D. pretending to be injured
( ) 43. By saying “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky.”, the writer
means ________.
A. chimps are ready to attack others
B. chimps are sometimes dishonest
C. chimps are jealous of the winners
D. chimps can be selfish too
( ) 44. What does the story mainly want to tell us?
A. Animals can also tell lies.
B. Honesty helps animals survive.
C. Mother Nature can fool animals.
D. Animals learn to lie from childhood.
( ) 45. Where can you probably find the passage?

Dear Chairperson,
I am Jane from Sunshine Middle School. I would like to join the Animal Club.
I’m a student of Grade 8. I’m hard-working and always ready to help others. I’m very interested in animals. I think animals are man’s best friends, and every one of us should do something to help protect the animals. What’s more, I would love to learn more knowledge about animals.
I have several dogs and cats as pets at home. I once saved a cat on the way home. Now the cat is healthier than before. I can get on well with animals and take care of them. I am free on weekends.
I will be very happy if I can become a member of your club.
Yours sincerely,
Jane
