I go to the beach as often as I can. There is a good beach near my home and I often spend a whole day there at weekends.The best part of the beach is the rock pools. I like looking at them because they are often full of different sea creatures (生物). There are usually small crabs in the rock pools. When I try to touch them, they dig holes in the sand to hide themselves. Sometimes, there are little fish. My favourite creatures are sea snails (海螺) and other creatures that have shells. There are always lots of little shells in the rock pools and I like to collect them. I have a large collection of shells. They all have special names but I dont know what they are. Usually the shells are empty, but sometimes there is a creature inside the shell. Yesterday I held one up close to my face so that I could look into it. Suddenly a claw (爪子) came out of the shell and pinched (夹) my nose! There was a crab inside!Ill be more careful next time when I look into a shell.Answer the questions: (6%)1. When does the writer often spend a whole day at the beach?_2. According to the writer, what part of the beach is the best?_3. How do the small crabs hide themselves when the writer tries to touch them?_4. What are the writers favourite creatures?_5. All the shells are empty, arent they?_6. What pinched the writers nose yesterday?_II. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage: (6%)Its unbelievable (难以置信的)! No one seems to want to capitalize (大写) the letter “e” in the word “Earth”. How can that be? We 1 it up in the dictionary. Sure enough! Earth should be capitalized. But everywhere we look, it isnt! We capitalize our cities, states and countries. But we forget to capitalize the word “Earth”! 2_ ? Its because we are not being very respectful (尊敬的) to our Earth in many ways. We dont take very _3 care of it. We throw rubbish everywhere, pollute the air, land and water and forget to capitalize the name of our only home the planet Earth. So KSE(The Kids for Saving Earth) is asking you to tell everyone you know to capitalize the word “Earth” and stop polluting it. You can take the two easy ways below to 4_ protect our Earth.Two Easy Ways to Protect our Earth: 1) Draw a poster that 6_ “Respect the Earth! Capitalize the word Earth”. Hang it in your school and other places like stores, your parents workplaces or other _6_ places. 2) Respect the Earth by saying “the Kids for Saving Earth Promise” out loud.( ) 1. A. saw B. looked C. heard D. listened( ) 2. A. How B. When
