九年级英语任务型阅读专项训练(1)The Green Tree ProjectIn 1996,39 American children started a very in interesting project-the Green Tree Project. The students began the project by gathering walnuts(核桃) in the fall. The nuts were buried(埋) in cages in the school garden in mid-November. (1)In this way, the seeds could be kept cool and moist(潮湿) for several months before they started growing. In February. The seeds were dug up, so they could begin to sprout(发芽). Sprouted seeds were kept in fridges, so they could be stopped from growing until the time to plant. (2)This helped keep the trees about the same size at planting time. In March, sprouted seeds were planted in paper soft drink cups. Each student was asked to plant 12 trees. (3)Then the trees were carefully watered and watched. The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week. The students found this part of the project very exciting. On April 29th , the trees were transplanted(移植) to the lake. (4)It took them only 90 minutes to plant all the trees. It was so interesting to see a treeless area turn into a forest right before their eyes!1.将(1)(2)处的英文句子翻译成汉语。(1) (2) 2. 将(3)处的句子改写成主动语态形式。(3) 3. 将(4)的句子用同义句改写。(4) (2)When Betty Jones marries John Smith, she becomes Mrs.Smith.

(1)Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? (2)It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of tile colours of crops. When crops ate green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes. Locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. (3) If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. (4) They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
