To Friend or Not To FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject”their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blowif you do choose not to add them to your friends list.57. From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.A. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC. parents have realized the importance of social networksD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate58. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______.A. they hide something from their parentsB. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD. their parents make negative comments on them59. The passage is mainly about _______.A. privacy onlineB. social networksC. the generation gapD. parents’ friend requests60. The passage is written mainly for _______.A. parentsB. teenagersC. teachersD. researchers【参考答案】57-60. CBDB【四川省2014“联测促改”活动模拟试题】A阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答落卡上将该项涂黑。

阅读理解选练（4）AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “ Am I going to die？” He replied, “Finally.”1.

The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures．“ We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said．“Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can' t yet quantify．”The change was big in cold - blooded animals．Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem．Warm - blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change．Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker．And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records．This is not the first time this has happened in Earth' s history．55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years．That event happened over a long time than the current climate change．The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times．So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future．8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller?B. How does temperature change in Earth' s history?C. Climate change has many negative effects．D. Species become smaller as climate warms．9. The underlined word "trumped" in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________．A. beatenB. increasedC. strengthenedD. equaled10. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that _________．A. too many studies on animals' size have been done.B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller.C. how climate change effects animals' size has not been found clearly.D. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Bird have suffered more from climate change than fish．B. Climate change have even affected plankton negatively．C. Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D. The warming event has never happened in Earth' s history before.参考答案C篇8-11 DACBDSeven years of careful design and planning all came together on Monday, when James Cameron became the first human to make a solo trip to the deepest known point on earth - the Challenger Deep! More importantly though, he appeared safely seven hours later, completing with exciting-photos and videos from this dark mysterious world that has been visited by only two humans before!Seated inside a specially built 12-ton green submersible (潜水器) called the Deep Sea Challenger, the brilliant filmmaker caught every moment of his 2-hour-36-minutejourney down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench on video — given that it is 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and a mile deeper than Mount Everest.Absolutely nothing! There were no large alien creatures or mysterious footprints —just a flat desolate (荒凉的) landscape, 50 times larger than the Grand Canyon. Mr. Cameron describes it as "devoid (缺乏) of sunlight, any heat, any warmth". The only things swimming around, were some tiny shrimp-like (虾状的) creatures no bigger than an inch.While the 57-year-old had expected to spend six hours at the bottom, he was forced to return in three hours, because the robotic arm that was supposed to help him collect samples went wrong and began leaking oil. He also lost some thrusters (推进器) and a whole starboard side, causing the submersible to spin around in circles.However, these small setbacks did not make the whole trip any less exciting for Mr. Cameron. The director, who returned to the surface in a speedy seventy minutes, believes this is just one of many trips he and other adventurers will be taking. In fact, Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, is currently in the midst of planning a similar trip to the Puerto Rico Trench that lies five miles below the surface of the water. Though Mr. Cameron’s is promising to move his historic trip into an exciting 3-D National Geographic documentary, he is tight-lipped about how the experience will be used in his next movie! We cannot wait to see!12. According to Paragraph one，we can know that _________.A. Cameron is the first man to the deepest known point on earthB. the trip had been well prepared in the past few yearsC. the trip lasted for about nine and a half hoursD. the pictures Cameron took are dark13. On the bottom of Challenger Deep, _________.A. there are some mysterious footprintsB. the landscape is not very largeC. there are many fishD. it is dark and cold14. Why did Mr. Cameron return earlier than planned?A. Because he finished all his tasks.B. Because he couldn't stand the environment.C. Because there was something wrong with his submersible.D. Because he was eager to show his photos and videos to others.15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.A. many similar trips will be taken in the near futureB. the small setbacks had a great effect on Mr. CameronC. some people have known how Cameron's experience will be used in his next movieD. the trip to the Puerto Rico Trench is more dangerous and difficult than to theMariana Trench参考答案D篇 12-15 BDCA。

2016年高考英语试题全国卷Ⅱ（广东卷）笔试部分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn't return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good ne ws for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are li kely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxationC. It is increasingly popularD. It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional coursesB. Make plans for the new termC. Earn money for their educationD.

What would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first sensible lesson is that you shouldn’t bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until dawn. Be cause then you won’t trip over things? No, mainly because yo u’ll have an idea of direction. The sun rises in the east. But yo u will be amazed at how many people forget they know that. A pparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter — they are thick, and evergreen. The next t hing to do — or rather not to do — is panic, for the obvious re ason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, i t will get you nowhere. Just try to think of nice, happy things. There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in t he desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱水的) and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle. It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths o f your legs. Experiments prove that, without the sun or the mo on (or landmarks) as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add upover time so the brain can’t correctly identify the “straight ahe ad” direction. To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by f ar the best is to establish north using the stars. Most people c an identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major. It looks a l ot like a saucepan. The Plough rotates through the sky, but let ’s imagine the saucepan lying horizontally (水平地), with its handle on the left. You need to trace a line from th e star at the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim (边沿), and follow it upwards; the north star is roughly five times t he distance between those two “pointer” stars. Then drop a ve rtical line from the North Star to the horizon and that’s north.“Tonight is very cloudy and I can’t see the Plough.” Maybe luc kily, it is quite windy. Keep in mind that almost all of our weath er comes from a south-westerly direction. (This only works if you are in the British Isl es). To find the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there a re clouds and patches of clear sky, see which way they blow across the stars. You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants. If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east. If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, t here’s a good chance that is south (they will be reaching towa rds the sun). The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go.12. What might be the best title of the passage ?A. How to survive in the forestB. How to protect yourself in the forestC. How to direct your way out of the wildD. What to do if you are lost13. Which of the following pictures matches the description of the position of the north star?14. Why will people often walk in a circle if they are lost in the desert or the snow?A. Because without anything to refer to for directions, the brai n will be confused by errors.B. Because one of the legs is longer and stronger than the other.C. Because the desert or the snow usually covers a large are a for people to get across.D. Because people usually feel dehydrated and exhausted in t he desert or the snow.15. If you were lost in Taklimakan Desert in , _________ would NOT be dependable for you to identify the directions.A. the sunB. the North StarC. windD. the moon阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。

I like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full – time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.1．When staying with the two girls’ family, the author______ . A．got much help from her boss B．was paid for extra work C．often worked long hours D．took a day off every other week2．Why did the author leave her first job?A．She needed a rest after working extra hours.B．She decided to attend a part – time course.C．She was fed up with children.D．She found a full – time job.3．What has the author learned from her own experiences?A．One must choose the job she likes.B．Hard work makes an excellent student.C．Less successful students can still have a career.D．Qualifications are necessary for a career.参考答案1—3、CBC阅读理解。

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练（6）[史地自然型阅读理解(一)]Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are lik e the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have transl ated some of their squirrelspeak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm c alls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played the m back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached i ndividually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and be came alert(警惕的)．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their l ives and dived into caves.“In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say ‘there's an e nemy of average threat that's here’， and whistles without ch ucks say ‘there's an enemy of seemingly average threat arou nd here somewhere’， while pure chirps say, ‘I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.’” Hare told.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other co mmunication systems.Although squirrels risktheir lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other s quirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the call er's social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare ad ded that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit fro m the alarm calls.In fact, another Canadian study found that deepvoiced, blackc apped chickadees have their own language, too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact betwe en mates, and raising alarms.While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into g ardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pe sts(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex soci al lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop do ing harm to these animals”．1．The text mainly talks about ________．A．the study on the language of squirrelsB．the comparison between squirrels and chickadees C．the calling for the protection of squirrelsD．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies2．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would proba bly make ________．A．whistles with chucksB．pure chirpsC．whistles without chucksD．repeated chucks3．The underlined word “tidings” in Paragraph 6 probably me ans “________”．A．difficulties B．poisesC．messages D．languages4．What can be learned from this text?A．Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do. B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls. C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirr els.D．Birds such as chickadees don't have their own language.(二)【要点综述】本文主要讲了Hare以及他带领的团队对松鼠们所使用的语言进行的研究。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2016高考英语阅读理解二轮练习（1）[史地自然型阅读理解(二)]Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco­friendly rain gardens(雨水花园) are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco­friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, andeco­friendly “green” way to treat storm water.What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don't need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you're eco­conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.1. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A．They are good for living conditions.B．They increase pollution.C．They can beautify the community.D．They improve the environment.2. Which of the following is the eco­friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4?A．They can keep the rain and storm water.B．They can help reduce the pollution problem.C．They can be healthy for the people around.D．They can make the environment more beautiful.3. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that________．A．they cost less and are much easier to getB．they may attract local wildlife to comeC．they require little care from the local gardenerD．they are more used to the local growing conditions4. What do we know about rain gardens?A．They need little water after all the plants are planted.B．They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.C．They may attract local birds and change the local climate.D．They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.5.
