Many of the earth’s plants and animals have already died out and several other species are endangered. If we want to live a better life and have a bright future we must learn to act in ways that do not harm other living things. If we know more about what causes endangerment we may be able to take measures (采取措施) before it is too late. _______78_______. Animals and plants must have a habitat, which is comfortable and clean, and where there is enough food and other resources. They are all used to their environment: that is they have learnt how to live successfully in their habitat. When the habitat of a species is changed or destroyed, the animal or plant had to either adapt to the change or find a new home. If this is not possible, the species becomes endangered. If a new species arrives, the animals and plants of the habitats must change again. _______79_______, some of the original (原始的) species may become endangered. A species may also die out if humans or other animals use too much of a plant or kill too many animals. The good news is that there is a lot we can do to help. First of all, we need to learn more about animals plants and the environment. Experts tell us that we need to think about what we can do to keep animals and plants from becoming endangered. _______80_______. ”You can plant a tree or build a birdhouse. It is simple but useful.” Steve also wants us to think about what we do.” Please don’t pollute the environment.” If we find out more about what we should do we can help Steve and others like him keep animals and plants and ourselves from becoming endangered. 三、阅读回答问题 (共10分，每小题2分) People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet. How do people climb the wall? To climb you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes (绳索) tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top. Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger. 81.
