五、阅读理解。
①In early January 2025, a huge fire broke out in Los Angeles, California. The strong Santa Ana wind made the fire spread very quickly. The fire hurt not only people's houses but also the environment around them.
②A lot of forests and grasslands were burned. Many trees turned black, and the green grass was gone. All those plants were important for animals. Without them, animals lost their homes and food. Squirrels(松鼠) that lived in tree holes had to run away. Deer that ate the grass had nothing to eat. Some small animals like mice and rabbits died in the fire.
③The soil also got into big trouble. Plants usually help keep the soil in place. But after the fire, there were no plants. When it rained, the rain washed the soil away. In some hilly places, mudslides(泥石流) occurred. It broke roads and even destroyed some houses.
④The air became dirty too. The fire sent a lot of smoke and bad things into the air. People in the areas near the fire had to wear masks. If someone had trouble breathing, they were in even more danger.
⑤All in all, the 2025 Los Angeles wildfire was a big blow for nature. It will take a very long time for everything to get back to normal. People need to think about how to prevent this kind of fire in the future.
