There are many wetlands in China and some
of them have become the world’s 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 world’s l argest 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 (既不…也不…) 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 (洪水). 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 understand the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

An eight-year-old heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation (手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (something could not happen) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“My brother Andrew has s omething bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost”“We don't sell a
miracle here，child. I'm sorry” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need”“I don't know” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more” she answered.
“Well, what luck,”smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl's hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need. ”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.

五、阅读表达(共5小格；每小格1分。满分5分)
阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格词数不限)
When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. They can drive cars. And they can ev en get married when they’re a little bit older.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music, but they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood, no clubs and no sports. They have nothing to do.
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited .Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations, but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students.

书面表达：
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Birdwatching Society.
First, let me introduce myself. I am a Grade 8 at No.6 Middle School. My favorite subject is Biology and English. I am interested in collecting the pictures of different animals and listening to music.
Last spring, I went to Zhalong Nature Reserve and took part in activities to protect birds with my friends, I enjoy the natural world, and I’m interested in learning different kinds of plants and animals. I want to know more about the birds. Some people want to cut down trees. As a result, the number of the birds is becoming smaller and smaller. I think it’s important for me to do something to protect them. I can take part in activities from 2p.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday.
I will be very happy if I can be a member of the Birdwatching Society. You can call me on 0519-******** or email me at 83445133@https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0015570141.html,.
Yours sincerely,
Zhao Yang
