The morning sun filtered through the leaves as 12-year-old Lin Xiaoyu walked home from school. Passing through the grove, he noticed the trees had grown much (51) (thick) than before. “These trees are doing so well,” he said to (52) (he), when suddenly he heard rustling in the bushes.
Just last week, this had been a (53) (balance) ecosystem. But recently, construction workers have divided it into half. Xiaoyu saw several rabbits looking for new homes. They looked (54) (terrible) frightened. The ground suddenly (55) (shake) —a bulldozer (推土机) (56) (approach).
“If this continues, the forest (57) (die),” Xiaoyu thought. He remembered how his Science teacher had taught him to use a compass to find (58) (direct), and decided to take action.
(59) (protect) nature starts with everyone. Xiaoyu believed that through collective effort, we can definitely preserve this beautiful home of (60) (our).

51. thicker 52. himself 53. balanced 54. terribly 55. shook 56. was approaching 57. will die 58. directions 59. Protecting 60. ours

51. 由than before可知用比较级，thick的比较级是thicker；52. say to oneself为固定搭配，意为“自言自语”，he的反身代词是himself；53. 修饰名词ecosystem用形容词，balance的形容词是balanced；54. 修饰形容词frightened用副词，terrible的副词是terribly；55. 全文时态为一般过去时，shake的过去式是shook；56. 由上下文可知推土机正在靠近，用过去进行时，主语是单数，be动词用was，approach的现在分词是approaching；57. if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”，主句用一般将来时will die；58. find后接名词，direct的名词是direction，此处用复数directions表方向；59. 动词作主语用动名词形式，protect的动名词是Protecting；60. of后接名词性物主代词，our的名词性物主代词是ours。

12岁的林小雨放学回家时，清晨的阳光透过树叶洒下。穿过小树林时，他注意到树木长得比以前茂密多了。“这些树长得真好，”他自言自语道，突然他听到灌木丛里有沙沙声。
就在上周，这里还是一个平衡的生态系统。但最近，建筑工人把它分成了两半。小雨看到几只兔子在寻找新的家。它们看起来极度惊恐。地面突然震动起来——一台推土机正在靠近。
“如果这样下去，森林将会死去，”小雨想。他想起科学老师教过他用指南针辨别方向，于是决定采取行动。
保护自然，人人有责。小雨相信，通过共同努力，我们一定能保护好我们这个美丽的家园。

(61) lower
(62) reading
(63) themselves
(64) countries
(65) magazines

(61) 根据语境“在那天，数百万的学生在一些国家可以以比平常更...的价格买书”，结合首字母l和than usual，可知这里应该是“更低”的价格，用low的比较级lower。
(62) 根据“年轻人应该花更多的时间...”，结合首字母r和上下文一直在讨论书，可知是“阅读”，再根据spend time doing sth，所以这里用reading。
(63) 根据“但人们可以通过阅读改变...来改变世界”，结合首字母t，可知是改变“他们自己”，用反身代词themselves。
(64) 根据“阅读给我们关于世界上其他...和地方的信息”，结合首字母c，可知是“国家”，other后接可数名词复数，所以用countries。
(65) 根据“书，...，报纸和其他种类的阅读材料能帮我们更多了解外面的世界”，结合首字母m，可知是“杂志”，用复数magazines。
