18、native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived.And thats a problem, says Dr Doug Tallamy, an insect expert at the University of Delaware.

19、or example, eat milkweed. If people cut down milkweed and replace it with another plant, the butterflies will have no food to be alive. But the trouble doesnt stop there.

20、nts out that almost all migrating (迁徙) birds depend on insects to feed their young. We cant let the plants and animals around us disappear, says Tallamy.

25、nmental Protectors四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读理解Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people dont know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too. According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating(漂浮) around the earth. And th

26、ese are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we cant see.

27、mportant satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed(碰撞) into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 20

28、09, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
