Britain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010.

The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China.

More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew's giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said.

The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds. Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change.

The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(灭绝) in southwest China from agricultural development. It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption.

Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild.

It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild. He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century.

"It is urgent and it is happening now. An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year." Smith said.

Because most of the world's food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say. There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity.

For Kew's next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted.

1.What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?

A. To collect enough money for the project.  B. To safeguard food crops.

C. To protect wild plants from extinction.        D. To help scientists study wild plants.

2.The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______.

A. the expanding of farming work           B. the climate change in this area

C. the large number of Asian elephants       D. human’s large consumption

3. We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over the world

B. India and Brazil haven’t joined in the Seed Bank Project at present

C. there is only one seed bank in the world at present

D. the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out

4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to?

A. The extinction of plant species.           B. The Millennium Seed Bank Project.

C. Britain’s seed bank.                      D. Kew Gardens’ next goal.

5.Which of the following information isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A. The global partnership of collecting wild plant species.

B. The temperature condition of the conservative wild plant species.

C. The government’s financial support for the seed bank project.

D. Scientists’ concern on the extinct wild plant species.

In spring, you may have seen white foam(泡沫) on a green tree or other plants. As a matter of fact, the foam is where young spittlebugs(吹沫虫) live. These insects are protected by the foam, and they usually don’t do much harm to the plants.

As we all know, in late summer, a mother spittlebug lays her eggs on the plant. The babies will hatch(孵化) in spring. After they come to the new world, they begin to eat juice from the plant. The babies eat more juice than their bodies need for food. The extra juice mixes with a special waste that the spittlebugs produce. When this fluid(液体) is released, it mixes with the air, forming bubbly foam.

What is so great about having a foam home? The space inside is so wet that it can keep the bugs’ soft bodies from drying out. And the foam tastes bad, so it keeps away most animals that would eat the bugs. Some birds will reach their heads through the foam to find the bugs. Wasps and ants might eat them, too. But most of the bugs stay safe inside the foam.

Once the bugs have grown into adults, they stop making foam. They leave their homes and jump from plant to plant in search of food. The adults look a little like tiny frogs. For this reason they are also called froghoppers.

If you see some foam on a plant, you might want to take a careful look inside. Gently push some of the foam aside with a small stick. Deep inside you may see a few insects eating plant juice. They might also be making more foam. Be sure to push the foam back after a moment to cover the insects and keep them safe. Soon the spittlebugs will grow up and leave their foam home. They will join the other insects in the grassland.

1.The eggs of spittlebugs_____.

A. are laid in late spring

B. have to pull through a winter before they hatch

C. are protected by mother spittlebugs all the time

D. will be eaten by ants

2.According to the passage, the white foam_____.

A. does much harm to the plant

B. protects the plant from being harmed

C. is where a mother spittlebug is living

D. is plant juice mixed with spittlebugs’ waste and the air

3.Which of the following is a function of a foam home?

A. Protecting the bugs from being eaten.

B. Helping the bugs find food.

C. Providing enough drinking water for the bugs.

D. Keeping the plant from drying out.

4.After the spittlebugs grow into adults, they______.

A. continue to make foam

B. take on a different look

C. begin to eat tiny frogs

D. begin to do harm to plants

On the last day of his life, my dog Otto spent that morning of spring napping in the garden. This was always one of his favorite things to do, even before the days when he was too old and too weak to get out of a car by himself.

I probably would have started crying over Otto right then, if my two other little dogs hadn't suddenly raced past. Larry, who was a puppy, got knocked into Otto, then licked Otto's ear, and that got Otto excited, and Otto barked and tried to stand up again, but it was hard for him.

Soon it was time for me to drive to see Steve, our vet.

When Steve gave Otto the first shot, it made him woozy (眩晕的). Otto wandered over to where Steve and I were sitting and settled down between us. He has always liked to touch everyone in his pack, if possible, while he sleeps.

After Steve gave him the last shot and Otto stopped breathing, he didn't look like Otto anymore. He looked like an old gray-brown piece of beat-up carpet, and I suddenly realized what bad shape he'd been in for a long, long time. I wondered if he'd been in much more pain than I knew. Wondering made me feel even worse.

The week after Otto died was not good. Every morning when I walked Larry and Sticky in the neighborhood, somebody would come up and say they had heard about Otto and they were sorry. They were all Otto's friends and some of them cried. Others, like Debbie who lives on my street, reminded me about how, even at the end. Otto would stand between her twins' stroller (婴儿车) and the street when the garbage truck went by. "Like it was his job to protect them," she marveled.

Otto has left us, but his memory lives on.

1.How did the author feel when Otto was napping in the garden?

A. She felt like crying.                    B. She thought life was beautiful.           C. She found spring was wonderful.           D. She was relieved.

2.According to the passage, how did the dog die?

A. He had an accident on the street.            B. He died naturally.                  C. He was made to die by a vet.                D. He starved.

3.What can we know about Otto?

A. He was already too old to bark.              B. He liked people to keep him company.     C. He died a very painful death.               D. He was protected by the neighbours.

4.We can see from the passage that Sticky is a ______.

A. cat              B. dog                  C. child             D. neighbour
