三、阅读理解
Wetlands are often called the "kidneys of the Earth". They are important natural areas that provide homes for many plants and animals. Wetlands can also store water, prevent floods, and clean the water that flows through them.
However, wetlands are in great danger. Many wetlands have been turned into farmland or buildings. Pollution from factories and cities also makes wetlands dirty. As a result, the number of plants and animals living in wetlands is decreasing quickly.
In China, there are many important wetlands. For example, the Zhalong Wetland in Heilongjiang is a home for more than 200 kinds of birds, including red-crowned cranes. Every year, thousands of tourists go there to watch the birds. To protect wetlands, the Chinese government has set up many nature reserves. People are also encouraged to help protect wetlands by not throwing rubbish into them and planting more trees around them.
Protecting wetlands is not just important for animals and plants, but also for humans. Clean water from wetlands is good for our health, and wetlands can help fight climate change. So we should do our best to save these valuable natural areas.

五、任务型阅读
你了解蜜蜂对自然的重要性吗?
Bees are one of the most important insects in the world. Most people know that bees make honey, but do you know that they also help plants grow Bees carry pollen from one flower to another, which helps plants make seeds and fruits. Without bees, many plants would die, and we wouldn't have food like apples, tomatoes or carrots.
However, bees are in trouble. In recent years, the number of bees has dropped quickly. There are several reasons for this. First, people use too many pesticides, which are bad for bees. Second, more and more wild flowers are being replaced by buildings and farmland, so bees have less food to eat. Third, climate change makes the weather unstable, which is harmful to bees.
To save bees, we can do small things in our daily life. For example, we can plant flowers in our gardens that bees like, such as sunflowers and lavender. We can also avoid using pesticides in our yards. Farmers can grow more wild flowers around their fields to provide food for bees.
Saving bees is not just about saving honey. It's about saving our food and our environment. So let's take action to protect these amazing little insects.
1. What do bees do besides making honey
_______________________________________
2. Why are bees in trouble (List at least two reasons)
_______________________________________
3. What can we do to save bees in our daily life
_______________________________________
4. What will happen if there are no bees
_______________________________________
5. What's the main idea of the passage

六、书面表达(One possible version)
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter. I'm glad to share something about my favorite natural spot and my ideas on nature protection.
My favorite natural spot is West Lake in Hangzhou. It's famous for its quiet water and beautiful lotus flowers. I go there with my family every summer. We walk along the lake, take photos, and sometimes rent a boat to enjoy the scenery. It makes me feel relaxed and close to nature.
To protect nature, we can do small things. For example, we should not throw rubbish in natural areas, plant more trees, and use reusable bags instead of plastic ones. We also need to stop cutting down too many trees and protect wild animals.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
