They have special “languages”. In fact, they are using signals (信号). Different signals have different meanings.For example, when a bee (蜜蜂) finds food somewhere, it flies home quickly. It cant speak, but it can tell others by dancing. Other bees will know where and how far the food is.Some animals show their feelings by making sounds. For example, when a dog is angry, it barks (吠). At this time, youd better stay away from it. Birds can make several sounds to show different meanings. Sometimes we humans show feelings by making sounds instead of by speaking. For example, when we feel painful (疼痛的), we cry“Oh!”or“Ouch!”.We humans have languages and words. We can communicate face to face by speaking. We can write down what happened in order to remember clearly. We can also send (寄) messages to people far away. But animals cant.根据短文内容，判断正误。（1）Animals can communicate (交流) with each other by using signals (信号). （2）A bee can tell others the messages by singing songs. （3）Birds can make different sounds to show different meanings. （4）All the animals can communicate with others far away. （5）When a dog is not happy, youd better keep away from it. 23. （10分） There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the worlds important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The worlds 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(提供) 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.（1）The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _of China.A . eastB . southC . westD . north（2）Usually the weather in the wetlands is _A . hotB . pleasantC . coldD . dry（3）The World Wetlands Day is on _A .

But more high buildings are now using wood.In the last four years, Australia, Norway, England and Canada have all built wooden skyscrapers. The latest one is in Sweden, a new, 19-storey wooden hotel called Sida vid Sida (Side by Side).Why are wooden skyscrapers being chosen ahead of concrete ones? Lets find out.Is it strong enough?Wood has been used in many Chinese buildings for thousands of years, but is it strong enough for skyscrapers?Theres a lot of new materials made out of wood that are able to build big buildings, material expert Dr Michael Ramage told CNN when he was interviewed.Architects (建筑师)have done thousands of experiment to make sure it is. They place layers of wood across one another coated with special glue to create very strong material.Wood also lasts a long time and doesnt break down if it is well looked after. The examples include the rooftops of Beijings Forbidden City and some 700-year-old houses in England.Ramage also said on the internet that bamboo could be cut in special ways to make it even stronger than normal wood.Wont it catch fire?Wooden buildings sound dangerous when it comes to fire. But experts say they may be safer than concrete ones if there is a fire.Wood doesnt burn in the way the public imagines, Ramage said. Very small pieces of wood catch fire easily, but very big pieces of wood are quite hard to set on fire, he said.（1）In Sweden, the main building material of Sida vid Sida is _.A . steelB . concreteC . glassD . wood（2）The underlined word skyscraper in the first paragraph means _.A . wooden buildingsB . wooden hotelC . high buildingsD .

Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to(被允许) take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults(成年人) disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children dont know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.（1）Is “Survival Holidays” for children or parents?（2）Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?（3）What do the children in big cities usually do?（4）How do children feel when they are in danger?（5）What can children learn in the survival activities?四、 词汇运用。 (共1题；共1分)26. （1分）The music sounds very b_I love it 五、 根据句意, 用所给词的适当形式填空。 (共15题；共45分)27. （4分）根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。_Do you think its good for you to keep worries to _ (your), boys and girls?_In China, its becoming much _ (hard) for people to pass the driving tests._The government has realized the importance of the _ (safe) of the children who take a school bus._More and more teachers feel worried about some _ (teenage) strange behaviour.28. （1分）My task is to make a _ (post) for the food festival.29. （1分）Can you help me with _ (dance)?30. （1分）Each of us _ (know) a lot about solar energy after listening to the talk on it.31. （1分）Its going to rain. _ (luck), I have taken an umbrella with me.32. （10分）词汇运用用括号内所给词的适当形式填空（每空不限一词）。Its about half an hours _( ride ) from here to the theatre.We gave up the plan for the trip to Qinhu Lake because of the_(please) weather.The gravity on Mars is only about three_(eight) of that on Earth.Who do you think is _(strict) with you among these teachers?My classmates and I often buy _(we) healthy food at the supermarket.What do you think of the movie?
