However, according to a report in a magazine, the number of insects in the world has fallen by 45% in the past 35 years. Scientists say this could be very dangerous for humans.One of the biggest reasons for the finding is that more and more trees are being cut down and burnt. With more and more land being used for farming and building houses, more and more insects are losing their home.Many countries are worried about this. Dr. Ben Collen from London University said,“In the UK, the number of insects has fallen by 60%.”He added,“Insects are really important for humans. We need to stop more insects from dying.”The decline in insect population can lead to many problems for humans. One of the biggest dangers is that there will be fewer insects to pollinate（给授粉）plants. This means farmers will have problems growing food. Professor Rodolfo Dirzo from Stanford University said,“The decline in insect population may also lead to more illness in humans. For example, when mice have less food to eat, they will move to big cities and bring illnesses with them.”Insects also make our world much more interesting. Its hard to imagine a world without insects.( ) 36. The second paragraph is mainly about_. A. where insects build their home B. why people are using land for farmingC. why the number of insects is fallingD. how many insects there are in the world( ) 37.

Farmers will feel unhappy. C. There will be no mice in the world. D. There will be less living space for humans. ( ) 39. What will the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on? A. What we can do to protect insects.B. The disadvantages(缺点) of too many insects.C. Why mice will bring illnesses to cities.D. How insects make our world more interesting.( ) 40. We can probably read the report in a _ magazine. A. music B. computer C. business D. science (C)We can remember some important times in our lives. Some things have become good memories. The memories are always in the corner of our mind. When I was in a kindergarten, I had many toys and friends. They made me laugh and cry. The teachers taught us many songs and games. We played all day. Although we did not know what learning was at that time, we were learning every day. When I was in a primary school, I was excited to learn school subjects. Nearly every subject caught my attention. However, my favorite subject was science. I remembered on the first day our science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully. When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museums and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting.Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. Happily, I am still learning. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but theres still a long way for me to go.
