1.We have always been warned of the dangers of the forest fires. They cause     1   to a forest. They kill many plants and animals in an eco-system, which is a group of living things and their environment. But have you ever heard of a forest fire that can be     2    for a forest?
2.People start some of the fires with special reasons to actually do well to the eco-system.
3.In fact, fires are a natural part of any eco-system. Without fires, the oldest and largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can       3      some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the earth. New trees can grow strong and healthy in their place.
4.Some trees even need fires to grow. These trees hold their seeds(种子) inside. Heats from a fire allow the coat of the seeds to open up. Then the seeds fall to the ground and have the 4 to grow.
5.Scientists, who know about nature’s needs, start some of these fires, called controlled burns. A fire is started and kept under control. This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or 5   a large space of the forest. Fires can be dangerous for animals. Even when animals continue to live after forest fires, they can go hungry   6    their food has been damaged in the fire. Small, controlled fires mean that animals will not have to move far to find food. After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon after the plants return. This   7 makes an eco-system.
6.So the next time you hear about a forest fire, think about the good as well as the bad. It may take a new eco-system a while to return, but it will likely come back stronger and healthier than ever.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)12

Last year, over 11,000 abandoned dogs were put down by government dogcatchers. Why? Because there was too little kennel space to keep them. Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) is a charity that rescues and finds homes for unwanted dogs. It’s a huge task and if this ? had received more support last year, fewer dogs would have been put down.

To support the efforts of HKDR, the Social Service Club held a fun festival last weekend. ‘We hoped the festival would raise money and also raise people’s awareness of the point of abandoned pets,’ said Louise Wong, the club president.

The club organized stalls ? ? second-hand clothes, delicious homemade cupcakes and even the fashions to keep pet dogs warm in the winter. Although there were fewer stalls than last year, ? items were sold. Louise explained that this was because prices were not set too high this year.

The festival also ? performances by the school choir and the hip hop group HK Boys. The crowd was extremely excited, and some members of the ? ? said there was too much noise to hear the performers. Louise admitted that everyone would have been able to hear if there had been better sound equipment.

The most interesting part of the day was the dance challenge, with contestants(选手) showing off some amazing moves. This year there were more contestants than last year. According to Louise, that was because the prizes, including G. E.M. concert tickets, were better. ?? , this year’s fun festival was a big success. It raised far more money than last year: a record HK$12,000. And the festival also raised joy among the special guests – some of our four legged friends from HKDR!
