It is an ancient water system that allows people to survive in one of the hottest and driest places in China. By channeling water from the mountains through underground canals, the karez system respects the natural flow of water and provides life for the people of Turpan.
Today, we face many environmental challenges, such as climate change and water shortages. However, by learning from examples like the karez system, we can find ways to live in harmony with nature. We must respect its laws, protect its resources, and use our knowledge to create sustainable solutions for the future.

People all over the world live by the laws of nature. In some places, people do not fish from May to September to protect fish populations. In winter, some people freeze fruit to keep it fresh for longer. Beekeeping is another way people work with nature, helping plants grow and providing us with honey.
The Maori in New Zealand had many terms to describe the sea. They carefully checked what the water looked like and used different words like "energetic" or "dangerous". This was because they lived on small islands and often travelled by sea. It was important for them to know what would happen on the sea and when it was safe to go to the sea.

基础篇：Level 2 巩固强化【5篇】
The Horsetail Fall (瀑布) is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing views. In late 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 above the waterfall 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 in winter.” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the lead content creator for .
23．The first paragraph 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．when we can visit the firefall
24．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.
25．From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer (推断) that .
A．the firefall brings little surprise B．the firefall is well worth seeing
C．you can watch the firefall for quite a long time D．you can watch the amazing firefall in any season
The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers over 9,000,000 square kilometers across North Africa. The weather there can be very different in a day’s time. During the day, temperatures rise above 40℃, while nights can be very cold. It’s one of the toughest (艰难的) environments on earth.
The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there; most of them are nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent (固定的) homes. They move from place to place, carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara depend on goats, sheep, and camels (骆驼) for food and transport. Water is the most important for them; they need water to live, so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. Without water, life is impossible.
A desert is not defined (定义) by sand but by the lack of rain. To be a desert, a place must get less than 250 mm of rain each year. Surprisingly, only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel (砂砾).
The Sahara was once much wetter and greener. Over time, it became the desert we see today. Truly, the Sahara is a place of history and change.

Jiuzhai Valley is home to 114 lakes in different sizes and shapes. Here are some of the most famous lakes.
Long Lake
Long Lake is longer and wider than other lakes. It’s in the shape of an “S” and has amazing blue and green water. The altitude(海拔) of Long Lake is high. You should be careful with your health condition when visiting it.

Five Flower Lake
With yellow and green trees around it, the blue lake shows more mixed colors when you see it in different places. October is the best time to visit it, because the forest will turn into different colors then.
Mirror Lake
The lake is just like a mirror. It shows the beautiful mountains and the blue sky on the water. The best time to visit it is before 9:00 and after 17:00 on a sunny day.
30．Which lake is the biggest

Rainforests (热带雨林) are some of the most amazing places on earth. They cover only about 6% of the world’s land, but are home to more than half of all living things. These dense forests are full of life, from tiny insects to large animals, and from small plants to tall trees.
The rainforest has different layers. The top layer is called the emergent layer, where the tallest trees reach up to 70 metres. Below that is the canopy, a thick layer of leaves and branches that stops most sunlight from reaching the layers below. Next is the understory, with smaller trees and bushes. The bottom layer is the forest floor, where only a little sunlight gets through.
Many rainforest animals have special skills to live in their layers. For example, sloths hang from the canopy branches. Their long claws help them stay there, and their slow movement helps them save energy. Toucans have big beaks to reach fruit on thin branches that can’t hold their weight. On the forest floor, jaguars use their spots to hide in the shadows while hunting.
Rainforests are important for the whole world. They take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and give out oxygen (氧气), which helps keep the air clean. They also help control the world’s weather. But rainforests are in danger. Every year, large areas are cut down for wood or to make space for farms. This destroys the homes of many animals and plants, and may even change the world’s climate.
34．What does the word “dense” mean in the first paragraph
A．Dry. B．Thick with plants. C．Cold.
35．Why do toucans have big beaks
A．To hang from branches. B．To hide from predators. C．To reach fruit on thin branches.
36．Put the layers of the rainforest from top to bottom.

③forest floor ④canopy
A．②→④→①→③ B．④→②→①→③ C．②→①→④→③
37．What is the main idea of the passage
A．How animals live in the rainforest.
B．The layers of the rainforest.
C．Why rainforests are amazing and important.
Lake Baikal: The Pearl of Siberia
Lake Baikal is located in southern Siberia, Russia. It is the deepest freshwater lake in the world, with a maximum depth of 1,637 meters. Formed about 25 million years ago, it is also one of the oldest lakes on earth.
The lake is famous for its extremely clear water. The transparency of the water reaches 40 meters, allowing people to see the lake bottom easily. There are more than 1,000 species of plants and 2,500 species of animals in and around the lake, many of which are endemic—they can only be found in Lake Baikal. The Baikal seal, a cute marine mammal, is one of the most famous endemic species.
Lake Baikal plays a vital role in maintaining the regional ecosystem. It stores about 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, which is crucial for human survival and development. However, the lake is facing environmental threats. Industrial waste from nearby factories and rubbish left by tourists have polluted some areas of the lake.
To protect Lake Baikal, the Russian government has established nature reserves and made strict laws to prevent pollution. Local people also actively participate in protection activities, such as cleaning the lake shore and promoting environmental awareness. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect this "pearl of Siberia" so that it can remain clean and beautiful for centuries to come.

提升篇：Level 3 拓展培优【5篇】
I remember lying on the grass and counting stars with my parents when I was a child. My life was full of fun then. However, children today are busy with schoolwork or they are glued to their screens. In fact, there are many cool new hobbies for them to see the outside world. Let’s take a look!
Geocaching is a popular treasure-searching game. The “treasure” is usually a box with a notebook and gifts. You can find the box in a park or other outdoor places. Just open the Geocaching app and choose a “treasure” near you, and then the app will offer a puzzle (谜) to help you find it.
Bird-watching is also a great activity. You just need a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) and a guidebook. Then you can be a bird-watcher and head into nature to watch wild birds alone or in a team. As you watch them with your guidebook, you’ll get to know their names, looks and habits. Remember to move slowly, stay quiet, and protect the birds’ space for the best experience.
These hobbies are so great that they benefit you in different ways. When you search for “treasures” through geocaching, you’re not just walking around—you’re solving real-world problems with GPS and discovering hidden places. Bird-watching provides you with a chance to learn about different birds and their homes, and help with scientific research. As well as helping you see nature differently, the two hobbies make you learn new skills and grow as a person!

From the deepest forests to our towns and cities, trees are all around us. We share our world with trees. They are our silent friends, but we often overlook them.
In fact, trees are very important for all living things on Earth. To begin with, forests are a safe place for animals, insects and plants to live. Trees are also good for us humans because they take in greenhouse gases like CO and produce oxygen. This means they help create a clean environment for everyone on this planet.
Trees make our lives more convenient. Many of the things around us, such as paper and pencils, come from trees. Just look around your room—a lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees also provide us with delicious fruit and wonderful drinks. For example, we can make tea from the leaves of the tea tree.
Trees do so much for us. We can’t imagine a world without them. However, humans are not treating trees in a kind way. We are cutting down forests all around the world.
