极热，请铺上4-6英寸（10-15厘米）的覆盖物。覆盖物可以隔离土壤并防止其变得太热或太冷。如果您所在的地区容易出现极端炎热的情况，在花园中铺一层厚厚的覆盖物有助于保持土壤温度并防止植物过热。将覆盖物铺在花园的所有土壤上，以提供足够的保护层。覆盖物不需要经常更换。每1或2年铺设新的一层可以保护您的土壤免受所有天气条件和季节的影响。2用行盖覆盖植物以提供遮荫。在极端温度下，阳光会烘烤植物。行盖也适用于炎热的天气，因为它可以为植物提供遮荫并保持凉爽。如果出现热浪或反季节气温上升对植物造成冲击的情况，请覆盖所有植物。检查您的行盖型号，看看它是否允许阳光透过。如果没有，则每天取下行盖4小时，以便植物仍然获得足够的阳光。有些植物，尤其是蔬菜，需要更多的阳光。如果你种植蔬菜，每天给它们4-6小时的阳光。除去行盖还可以让蜜蜂等有用的昆虫到达植物。3清晨给植物浇水，以免水分蒸发。如果你在白天最热的时候给植物浇水，所有的水分都会在植物吸收之前蒸发掉。相反，应该在清晨天气还凉爽的时候给植物浇水。在温度变得太热之前，你的植物有几个小时的时间来吸收水分。另一种选择是在晚上太阳开始落山时浇水。句式仿写1.要保护记忆力不要疲劳的影响，请养成一个良好的睡眠习惯。__________________________________________________________________【答案】Topreventyourmemoryfrominfluencingbytiredness,buildagoodhabitofsleeping.2.在交家庭作业前总检查有没有任何错误。______________________________________________________________________【答案】Alwayscheckifthereareanymistakesornotinyourhomeworkbeforehandingin.3.这个好的学习习惯将让你自己解决任何困难。______________________________________________________________________【答案】Thisgoodhabitoflearningwillkeepyourselfwellenoughtosolveanyproblems.拓展阅读Passage1主题语境主题群话题词数建议用时推荐指数保护环境环保重要性每个生物都在环境中起一定的作用，教育人们保护环境的重要性3588min★★★★☆（2023山西吕梁市兴县九年级第一次模拟）Theenvironmentsupportsthelifeofeachandeverylivingthingonearth.Wedependontheenvironmentforlife.Andeachlivingthinghasaroletoplayintheenvironment.Itmakestheworldabetterplacetolivein.Treesplayagreatroleinmakingcleanair.Themoretreeswehave,thecleanertheairis.Animalsalsohavetheirownhome.Whentheenvironmentisprotected,weareinbetterhealth.Food,cleanairandsomuchmore.However,wehavedoneharmtotheenvironmentandpolluteditseriously.Forexample,assomanyfactorieshavebeenbuilt,moreharmfulgasesaregivenofintotheair.Treesarebeingcutdowntocreatespaceformoreland.Withallthisgoingon,theenvironmentneedstobeprotected.Factoriesshouldtrytogogreenbyusingmoreenvironmentallyfriendlyenergy,likewindenergy,toreduce(减少)theharmfulchemicals.Sincecarsareamainreasonofairpollution,tryingtousingcarslessisimportant.PeoplecanchoosetousemoreofpublictransportFamiliescansharecarsratherthaneachmemberofthefamilyhavingacarorusebicycleswherepossible.Itisimportanttoeducatepeopleontheimportanceofenvironmentalprotection.Thetinythingspeopledowilldoalongwayinenvironmentalprotection.Maybeyoucanstartwithreusingandrecycling.Any49thatwetakeforabetterenvironmentandhelpavoidharmingtheecosystemmeanenvironmentalprotection.Eachlivingthingdependsontheenvironmentforlifeandplaysaroleinmakingtheworldabetterplacetolivein.Treesmake50airandprovidehomeforanimals.Withgoodenvironment,weareinbetterhealth.However,theenvironmenthasbeenpolluted51becauseofouractivitiesanditneedstobeprotected.Factoriesshouldtrytogogreenbyusingcleanenergy.Weshouldusemoreofpublictransportand52carsorusebicycleswherepossible.Peopleshouldbeeducatedtheimportanceofenvironmentalprotection.Theycandosome53thingslikereusingandrecyclingforenvironmentalprotection.49.________50.________51.________52.________53.________【答案】49.ways50.clean51.seriously52.share53.tinyPassage2主题语境主题群话题词数建议用时推荐指数保护环境地球日活动地球日的来历，并要求参加哪些活动1476min★★★★☆（2023陕西西安市长安三中中考模拟三）EARTHDAYApril22U.S.SenatorGaylordNelsonfirstthoughtoftheideaforEarthDayin1962whenhesawpollutedriversandcitiescoveredwithsmoke.SenatorNelsonneededtogetsupportfromAmericanstocleanuptheearth.Finally，onApril22.1970，20millionAmericanscelebratedthefirstEarthDay!PeoplearoundtheworldcelebrateEarthDaybyhelpingcleanuptheland，airandwater.HowcanyoucelebrateEarthDay？▶Joinaclean﹣upproject—Cleanupyourstreetorafavoritebeach.▶Saveenergy—Turnoffthelightswhenyouleavearoom，andusepublictransportation.▶Uselesswater.▶Reduce/Reuse/Recycle—PracticethethreeRs：First，reducehowmuchyouuse.Thenreuseorrecyclewhatyoucan.HomeworkfromWangMengClass3，Grade9（1）WhenisEarthDay？Itison________.（2）WhatmadeGaylordNelsonfirstthinkoftheideaforEarthDay？Hefirstthoughtoftheideawhenhesaw________（3）HowdopeoplearoundtheworldcelebrateEarthDay？TheycelebrateEarthDayby________.（4）WhatarethethreeRs？Theyare________.（5）Whocreatedthisposterandwhatwasitmadeas？Itwascreatedbyastudentnamed________andmadeashis________.【答案】（1）April22.（2）pollutedriversandcitiescoveredwithsmoke.（3）helpingcleanuptheland，airandwater.（4）Reduce,ReuseandRecycle（5）WangMeng,homework【解析】（1）根据表格第1行EARTHDAYApril22（地球日4月22日）可知地球日是在4月22日，故填April22。（2）根据表格第2行U.S.SenatorGaylordNelsonfirstthoughtoftheideaforEarthDayin1962whenhesawpollutedriversandcitiescoveredwithsmoke.（美国参议员GaylordNelson在1962年看到被污染的河流和烟雾笼罩的城市时，首次想到了设立地球日的想法。）可知美国参议员GaylordNelson看到被污染的河流和烟雾笼罩的城市时，首次想到了设立地球日的想法，故填pollutedriversandcitiescoveredwithsmoke。（3）根据表格第2行PeoplearoundtheworldcelebrateEarthDaybyhelpingcleanuptheland，airandwater.（世界各地的人们通过帮助清洁土地、空气和水来庆祝地球日。）可知人们通过帮助清洁土地、空气和水来庆祝地球日，故填helpingcleanuptheland，airandwater。（4）根据表格第4行Reduce/Reuse/Recycle—PracticethethreeRs（减少/重用/循环再造——实践三个R）可知3个R指的减少/重用/循环再造，故填Reduce，ReuseandRecycle。（5）根据表格下面HomeworkfromWangMeng（家庭作业来自王峰）可知这篇报道是王峰写的，这是他的家庭作业，故填WangMeng；homework。教材语篇梳理Savethesharks!Whatisthetexttypeofthepassage?Descriptiontext(记叙文)Whatisthecenterofdescription?Sharkfinsoupleadstothedangeroftheexistenceofsharks.Peoplecatchsharks,cutofftheirfinsandthenthrowthembackintotheocean.Thesharkswithoutfins
