2．The warm coast of California is a place where many western monarch butterflies travel to stay during the cold winter months in the United States.Researchers fear the record low number of monarchs this year could mean the insects are in danger of disappearing in the near future.
The Xerces Society works on conservation efforts for insects.Last winter，it recorded around 29，000 butterflies in its yearly survey.That was similar to the winter before，when an all-time low of 27，000 monarchs was counted.But the count this year is dangerously low.Fewer than 2，000 orange - and - black butterflies are in the yearly count this January，which showed a big drop in recent years.On the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains，another monarch butterfly population has decreased by more than 80 percent since the mid-1990s.
Causes for the extremely low numbers of butterflies in the western states include homebuilding and chemical use，which destroyed milkweed plants along their migratory（遷移的） path.The plants are needed for monarch butterflies to grow and develop.Climate changes interfere with the growth of wild plants.And huge wildfires in the west may also have influenced their migration.
A 2017 Washington State University study predicted that monarch butterflies would likely disappear within 10 to 20 years if the population dropped below 30，000 and nothing was done to save them.
Action should be taken to provide protection for their food supply and environment，including their migratory path.The Xerces Society said it will keep working with other partners to protect the monarch.The organization added that people can help by planting flowers and milkweed along these butterflies' migratory path.
（1）Why do the researchers fear the possibility of monarch butterflies disappearing？
A．Because the warm coast of California is getting cold during the winter months.
B．Because most of them are killed by huge wildfires.
C．Because the population of this species is varied.
D．Because the number of monarch butterflies has dropped sharply.
（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．Milkweed plants need monarchs to grow and develop.
B．Factors of the decrease in numbers of monarchs.
C．Human activities have influenced the climate change.
D．The importance of milkweed to the environment.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "interfere with" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Lead.
B．Help.
C．Reserve.
D．Disturb.
（4）What can we infer from the last 2 paragraphs？
A．Within 10 to 20 years monarch butterflies will disappear.
B．The migratory path of monarch butterflies is under protection.
C．Milkweed should be planted along monarchs' migratory path.
D．It is dangerous if the number of a species is below 30，000.組卷：9引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．The mental health of girls declines sharply at 14 and worsens through adolescence，a two-year study has found.It concluded that heavy social media use and a lack of exercise，both of which have been exacerbated（加劇）by the pandemic，made teenagers well-being and self-esteem worse.
Research from the Education Policy Institute and the Princes Trust said that while well-being and self-esteem are similar in boys and girls at the end of primary school，and both decline，girls see a greater decrease by the age of 14.
However，boys put into the bottom set al primary school had much lower self-esteem at 14 than their peers，according to the study，which used data from 5，000 young people in England in the Millennium Cohort Study.
The latest study said that heavy use of social media was associated with declines in well-being and self-esteem in girls ages 14 and 17，and worse well-being in 14-year-old boys.It said frequent physical exercise played a positive role in limiting depressive symptoms especially for boys at age 14，adding：At age 17，frequency of exercise had a positive impact on both boys and girls.Participation in activities and sports will have fallen considerably due to school closures and lock down，likely adversely affecting mental health and well-being.
Jonathan Townsend，UK chief executive of the Princes Trust，called for quick action to "prevent scarring this generations future".He added："The decline in young people's well-being and self-esteem as they go into their mid to late teens shows the need for early intervention and ongoing support to prevent future harm and potential crises." The transition from childhood to adolescence can be turbulent，and the findings of this report underline why addressing and supporting young people's mental health will only become more crucial as the impact of the pandemic unfolds.
The report made several recommendations，including a 650 million post pandemic package to schools for well being funding，matching academic catch-up funding.It also called for an increase in mental health teaching，the publication of a plan for rolling out four-week waiting times for specialist mental health care，and ensuring that all young people can take part in physical activity.
（1）At which age does the mental health of girls decline sharply？
A．13.
B．14.
C．15.
D．16.
（2）Which of the following would Jonathan Townsend most probably agree with？
A．Teenagers need help as they grow into adolescence.
B．The impact of the pandemic needs to be dealt with.
C．The self-esteem of teenagers will decline as they grow up.
D．The report will help solve the problems of teenagers.
（3）What is the author's attitude in writing this text？
A．Indifferent.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Skeptical.
（4）What is the text mainly talking about？
A．Teenagers facing worsening mental health.
B．Recommendations for girls on mental health.
C．The current situation of girls' mental health.
D．Teenagers' mental health.組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5

One day， I， together with some classmates， was climbed a mountain near our city. On the bus， we could hardly contained our excitement， talking and laughing all the way. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain， I could not wait to set foot in the long stone steps. However， it seemed endlessly with so many twists and turns that soon became out of breath and started to sweat heavily. A thought of giving up crowded into my mind. "Come on! You are almost there!" One of my classmates cheered me on with a determining look. Encouraged by her word， I regained confidence， or inched forward along the way. Before long， I reached the top. How an unforgettable experience!組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5
