There are many wetlands (濕地) in China and some of them have become very important to the world. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home to many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保護區(qū)) is there, too. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹頂鶴) in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife (野生生物).Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are also important because they prevent flood. Some people want to develop wetlands to make more space for farms and build ings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd,activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

In fall 2006，the National Basketball Association (NBA) started using basketballs made with synthetic，or man-made material instead of leath er (皮革).They made the change because they wanted every basketball they use to feel and bounce (彈起) the same. Not all leather balls are exactly alike in weight or how they bounce，but the synthetic balls are.
However，some players complained right away that the new balls bounced differently and were actually harder to control than the leather ones.
Physics helped answer questions about why the new balls felt different. For example，the scientists studied friction (摩擦力)，which in this case affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball.“The greater the friction，the better it will stick to his hand，”explains a scientist.
Tests on both wet and dry balls showed that while the synthetic ball was easier to hold onto when dry，it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet. That’s because sweat (汗水) stays on the surface of the synthetic balls but gets taken into the leather balls.
The scientists also tested bounce and found that the logo (商標(biāo)) printed on the new balls made their surface uneven and caused them to bounce a little strangely compared with the leather balls.
In January，the NBA went back to using the leather balls. They aren’t perfect，but for now，that’s just the way the ball bounces.
9.Why were the synthetic balls expected to be used in NBA according to the text?
A. Because they are easier to control.
B. Because they are light.
C. Because they look exactly alike.
D. Because they feel and bounce alike.
10. The bal l is easier to hold onto ______.
A. when friction is greater
B. when friction is less
C. when it is heavier
D. when it bounces strangely
11. The synthetic ball bounces differently from the leather one mainly because ______.
A. it is wet
B. it is dry
C. there’s a logo on it
D. its weight remains the same
12.It can be inferred (推斷) from the text that ______.
A. a synthetic bal l takes in water faster than a leather ball
B. a leather ball is more difficult to make than a synthetic one
C. a synthetic ball is more expensive than a leather ball
D. a leather ball may increase its weight during a game
13. The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the synthetic balls B. the leather balls
C .the ball players D. the scientists

Pandas are beautiful black and white animals. They look like bears. They live in China. They are quiet and peaceful. They eat bamboo and leaves. Baby pandas spend a lot of time drinking their mum’s milk—up to 14 hours a day! Mother pandas have only one or two babies at a time. When the babies are born, they look like white mice. There are only about one thousand pandas in the world now. The number is getting smaller and smaller because many of their living areas are becoming farmland. If farmers keep taking the land, pandas will have nowhere to live. Also, people hunt them for their fur. If this continues, then there will be no pandas in the world.

13.B 由文章最后一段“In January，the NBA went back to using the leather balls...but for now，that’s just the way the ball bounces.”可判斷出they此處指代皮革籃球，故選B。

Why Should We Protect Wild Animals?
I think there are many endangered animals in the world，such as tigers and pandas. Why are they in danger?
When farmers cut down trees，tigers can have few places to live. Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money. And there are also few places where pandas can live.
We could not live without all the plants and animals around us，so protecting wild animals is very important. Something must be done to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed. I f each of us can plant a tree and build a place for animals to live，the world will be more beautiful.
