题目

阅读理解 Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of young milkweed so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry. She's now given out about 1,000 baby milkweed plants to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours. Monarch butterflies can't survive without milkweed because ifs the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals. This year, Burchill's growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute. Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens. "When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn't have full sun they can't do that." Burchill said. Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbors. "We're very proud of her and she's quite focused," said her dad, Nick Burchill. "Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs." Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she's still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow. （1） What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies? A .

Monarch butterflies can't survive without milkweed. （3） Why does Burchill plant wetland milkweed? A . It provides the butterfly with enough water. B . It is much safer than common milkweed. C . It is encouraged by the U.S. government. D . It grows everywhere in her hometown. （4） What is the attitude of Burchill's father towards her action? A . Supportive. B . Uninterested. C . Doubtful. D .
