这是一道英语短文填空题，主要考查学生对词汇、语法和语境理解的综合运用能力。题目给出了一个关于雨林的短文，其中有些空格需要填入适当的单词或括号中单词的正确形式。
1. 第一个空格在“cover six per cent of (1) ______ earth's surface”中，根据语境，这里需要填入一个定冠词来特指“地球的表面”，因此应填“the”。
2. 第二个空格在“Rainforests are of great (2) ______ (important) to us”中，考查的是“of great + 名词”的结构，表示“非常重要的”。因此，需要将形容词“important”转化为名词“importance”。
3. 第三个空格在“They provide us (3) ______ wood, fruit and many of our medicines”中，考查的是固定搭配“provide sb. with sth.”，表示“为某人提供某物”。因此，应填“with”。
4. 第四个空格在“Unfortunately, rainforests are in (4) ______ (dangerous)”中，考查的是固定搭配“in danger”，表示“处于危险之中”。因此，需要将形容词“dangerous”转化为名词“danger”。
5. 第五个空格在“there (5) ______ (be) thousands of different plants and animals”中，考查的是there be句型的过去时态。由于句子描述的是过去的情况，且后面跟的是复数名词，所以应填“were”。
6. 第六个空格在“that's just (6) ______ they wanted to grow rice or rubber trees”中，考查的是表语从句的引导词。根据语境，这里需要填入一个引导词来引导表语从句，并在从句中作状语，表示“那就是他们想要种植水稻或橡胶树的原因”。因此，应填“because”。
7. 第七个空格在“but many of them are (7) ______ (die) out”中，考查的是现在进行时表示将来的用法。由于句子描述的是许多动物正在灭绝的情况，且空格后面跟的是动词短语“die out”，所以应将其转化为现在分词形式“dying”来构成现在进行时。
8. 第八个空格在“The same thing (8) ______ (happen) now in other parts of the world”中，考查的是现在进行时的用法。由于句子描述的是现在正在发生的事情，且空格后面跟的是动词“happen”，所以应填“is happening”。
9. 第九个空格在“We can start by using (9) ______ (little) paper and fewer wood products”中，考查的是形容词的比较级。根据语境，这里需要填入一个比较级形式来表示“使用更少的纸”，因此应填“less”。
10. 第十个空格在“we can make a big (10) ______ (different)”中，考查的是固定搭配“make a big difference”，表示“产生很大的影响”。因此，需要将形容词“different”转化为名词“difference”。

七、阅读短文,回答问题
Humans need bees to help grow plants. Without bees' moving pollen from one flower to another, many plants can't grow fruits.
In recent years, scientists have noticed a quick drop in bee numbers. The insects have lost their food. As humans have taken over more land for cities, many natural areas have gone. To help out bees, Britain is building "bee bus stops" across the country. These bus stops look common. But there's a small garden on each of their tops. The gardens are full of flowers. They attract bees.
The idea of bee bus stops isn't new. Several years ago, the Netherlands turned more than 300 of its bus stops into bee bus stops. This project is working. Bee numbers have grown since these bus stops were put into place, according to research. This is certainly good news for the British government.
1. How can bees help many plants grow fruits?
2. Why is there a quick drop in bee numbers?
3. Where are small gardens built at the bee bus stops in Britain?
4. What can attract bees at the bee bus stops?
