極熱，請鋪上4-6英寸（10-15厘米）的覆蓋物。覆蓋物可以隔離土壤并防止其變得太熱或太冷。如果您所在的地區容易出現極端炎熱的情況，在花園中鋪一層厚厚的覆蓋物有助于保持土壤溫度并防止植物過熱。將覆蓋物鋪在花園的所有土壤上，以提供足夠的保護層。覆蓋物不需要經常更換。每1或2年鋪設新的一層可以保護您的土壤免受所有天氣條件和季節的影響。2用行蓋覆蓋植物以提供遮蔭。在極端溫度下，陽光會烘烤植物。行蓋也適用于炎熱的天氣，因為它可以為植物提供遮蔭并保持涼爽。如果出現熱浪或反季節氣溫上升對植物造成沖擊的情況，請覆蓋所有植物。檢查您的行蓋型號，看看它是否允許陽光透過。如果沒有，則每天取下行蓋4小時，以便植物仍然獲得足夠的陽光。有些植物，尤其是蔬菜，需要更多的陽光。如果你種植蔬菜，每天給它們4-6小時的陽光。除去行蓋還可以讓蜜蜂等有用的昆蟲到達植物。3清晨給植物澆水，以免水分蒸發。如果你在白天最熱的時候給植物澆水，所有的水分都會在植物吸收之前蒸發掉。相反，應該在清晨天氣還涼爽的時候給植物澆水。在溫度變得太熱之前，你的植物有幾個小時的時間來吸收水分。另一種選擇是在晚上太陽開始落山時澆水。句式仿寫1.要保護記憶力不要疲勞的影響，請養成一個良好的睡眠習慣。__________________________________________________________________2.在交家庭作業前總檢查有沒有任何錯誤。______________________________________________________________________3.這個好的學習習慣將讓你自己解決任何困難。______________________________________________________________________拓展閱讀Passage1主題語境主題群話題詞數建議用時推薦指數保護環境環保重要性每個生物都在環境中起一定的作用，教育人們保護環境的重要性3588min★★★★☆（2023山西呂梁市興縣九年級第一次模擬）Theenvironmentsupportsthelifeofeachandeverylivingthingonearth.Wedependontheenvironmentforlife.Andeachlivingthinghasaroletoplayintheenvironment.Itmakestheworldabetterplacetolivein.Treesplayagreatroleinmakingcleanair.Themoretreeswehave,thecleanertheairis.Animalsalsohavetheirownhome.Whentheenvironmentisprotected,weareinbetterhealth.Food,cleanairandsomuchmore.However,wehavedoneharmtotheenvironmentandpolluteditseriously.Forexample,assomanyfactorieshavebeenbuilt,moreharmfulgasesaregivenofintotheair.Treesarebeingcutdowntocreatespaceformoreland.Withallthisgoingon,theenvironmentneedstobeprotected.Factoriesshouldtrytogogreenbyusingmoreenvironmentallyfriendlyenergy,likewindenergy,toreduce(減少)theharmfulchemicals.Sincecarsareamainreasonofairpollution,tryingtousingcarslessisimportant.PeoplecanchoosetousemoreofpublictransportFamiliescansharecarsratherthaneachmemberofthefamilyhavingacarorusebicycleswherepossible.Itisimportanttoeducatepeopleontheimportanceofenvironmentalprotection.Thetinythingspeopledowilldoalongwayinenvironmentalprotection.Maybeyoucanstartwithreusingandrecycling.Any49thatwetakeforabetterenvironmentandhelpavoidharmingtheecosystemmeanenvironmentalprotection.Eachlivingthingdependsontheenvironmentforlifeandplaysaroleinmakingtheworldabetterplacetolivein.Treesmake50airandprovidehomeforanimals.Withgoodenvironment,weareinbetterhealth.However,theenvironmenthasbeenpolluted51becauseofouractivitiesanditneedstobeprotected.Factoriesshouldtrytogogreenbyusingcleanenergy.Weshouldusemoreofpublictransportand52carsorusebicycleswherepossible.Peopleshouldbeeducatedtheimportanceofenvironmentalprotection.Theycandosome53thingslikereusingandrecyclingforenvironmentalprotection.49.________50.________51.________52.________53.________Passage2主題語境主題群話題詞數建議用時推薦指數保護環境地球日活動地球日的來歷，并要求參加哪些活動1476min★★★★☆（2023陜西西安市長安三中中考模擬三）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________.教材語篇梳理Savethesharks!Whatisthetexttypeofthepassage?Descriptiontext(記敘文)Whatisthecenterofdescription?Sharkfinsoupleadstothedangeroftheexistenceofsharks.Peoplecatchsharks,cutofftheirfinsandthenthrowthembackintotheocean.Thesharkswithoutfinscan’tswimanddiesoon.Sharksareveryimportantbecausetheystayattopoffoodchain.Theirnumberbecomesless;theocean’secosystemisdangeroustoalloceanlives.TheWildAidandtheWWFareteachingpeopletoprotectsharksandaskedgovernmenttodeveloplawstothesaleofsharkfins.MainideaofeachparagraphPart1:Abowlofsharkfinsoupkillsawholeshark.Part2:Sharksbecomelessandlessandthefoodchainintheocean’secosystemisverydangerous.Part3:Environmentalprotectiongroupsareaskingpeopletosavethesharks.MainideaofthetextAlthoughnoscientificstudiesshowsharkfinsaregoodfor1.______,peopleliketoeatsharkfinsoup.Peopledon’tusuallyknow2.______ofkillingsharksforfins.Sharksare3.______thefoodchainintheocean’secosystem.Theirnumbersdrop4.______,itwillbringdangertoalloceanlife.Thefactisveryterrible,everyyearabout5.______sharksarecaughtandtraded.Thenumbersofsomekindsofsharkhavefallenby6.______.Environmentalprotectiongroupsareaskingpeopletosavethesharks.Theynotonlyteachpeopleto7.______butalsoaskgovernmentsto8.______tostopthesaleofsharkfins.課文語法填空Sharksarevery1.______(danger),notbecausetheyattackpeople,butbecausepeoplecatchthemforsharkfinsoup2.______sci
