A city without cars would be very strange，right？But Venice(威尼斯)is such a city．

Venice is in the northeast of Italy．It wasn’t built on land，like Beijing or Shanghai，but on more than 110 islands．Seawater is everywhere around the city．

Even so，travel isn’t that difficult．The waterways have always been the best way to get around．There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go．

People in Venice move from place to place by boat．They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips．They can talk to other people as they go along．

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1，500 years ago，and built homes there．

Water makes the city special，but it is also a big problem．

Once，people used too much underground water．This made the city get lower little by little．Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters．

Another problem is the rising seawater．The temperature has risen over the years．This has made the ice of Arctic Ocean(北冰洋)melt(融化)．

Every year，high waters hit the city in autumn and winter．When a lot of water comes，more than half of the city is underwater．

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower．

25、

The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

【1】What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?

A．The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.

B．The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.

C．The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.

D．Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.

【2】How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?

A．By listing examples (举例子).

B．By providing data (列数据).

C．By giving explanations (作解释).

D．By making comments (作评价).

【3】What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Turning better.

B．Getting worse.

C．Keeping the same.

D．Becoming different.

【4】Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.

A．warn people to care more about the change of weather

B．keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before

C．help the British government protect nature and the environment

D．help the British better understand how important the butterflies are

26、Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it， while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

To grow， plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts(沙漠) everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil(土壤) found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants， such as beach grass， will grow in sand， but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day， many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no plant food.

【1】The passage can most probably be found in   .

A. a science book  B. a newspaper

C. a magazine    D. a report

【2】Plants need   things to grow well according to the passage.

A. two   B. three C. four   D. five

【3】The reason why most plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that   .

A. there isn’t enough sunlight

B. there is too much water

C. it is too crowded there

D. it has little food for plants

【4】Which of the following is true?

A. Beach grass can hardly grow in sand.

B. Plants need food to help them grow.

C. Plants want a place where their flowers can come out.

D. Dry deserts everywhere are almost covered by trees or grass.

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal（大运河）. This man-made waterway is k【1】 in China as Da Yunhe. It is about 1, 700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2, 000 years old. It   c【2】 the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It’s the l【3】 man-made waterway in the world.

The Grand Canal was b【4】 as a way to transport grain（运输粮食）from the rich agricultural（农业的）land in China’s south to cities in the north. In fact, it’s not one canal, but some canals and rivers joined together. It’s still an important part of the transport s【5】 in China today. T【6】 of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other things.

Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is m【7】 parts of it deeper, so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will c【8】 lots of water from the south to the north.

The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many t【9】 visit it. But It’s really w【10】 to go on a cruise（乘船游览）along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises are able to see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don’t see.

Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful influence on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.
