题型专练 七选五
A
Animals can move from place to place，but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack，it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away，and they lack teeth and claws. 1
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example，the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines(刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. 2
Some plants，such as the oak tree，have thick and hard leaves that make it difficult for the animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material. 3
Many plants also have chemical defenses. 4 Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a worm bites a tobacco leaf，the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the worm.
5 A certain plant in China，for example，has physically spiny leaves，and each spine contains chemically poisonous venom(毒液)．A single experience with this kind of plants will teach an animal to stay away in the future.
A．Animals are good at protecting themselves.
B．Eating such grasses wears down animals’ teeth.
C．Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses.
D．Plants have more ways to defend against the enemies than animals.
E．This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
F．Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction.
G．But plants can defend themselves by using both the physical and chemical means.
B
As we “happen to be” the best creature in the world，it’s our duty to look after other species. Here are some points which might help to protect wildlife.
Join organizations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund. They have devoted themselves to protecting the earth and its animals. Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the environment. 1
2 Don’t buy anything made from ivory(象牙) or things like this. Baby seals are hunted for their skin，as it is used to make expensive coats. Don’t buy them.
3 You can write a heartfelt and logical letter to the government，stating your ideas about this problem and how it can be solved.
Recycle(回收利用) and reuse. It will reduce the need to have more raw materials to produce something. 4
And wild animals’ home will not be destroyed.
Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals. 5 Governments should apply strict laws to stop hunting.
I hope you find this post helpful. Share your views about this issue and let your voice be heard.
A．Let your voice be heard.
B．Stop hunting for pleasure.
C．As a result，fewer trees will be cut down.
D．You can build a bird house and feed local birds.
E．Refuse fur coats and medicines made from rare animals.
F．You can find some organizations like these and join them.
G．There they will be able to move freely without worrying about hunters.必修二 Unit2 Wildlife Protection

Many trees are being cut down，many animals are being hunted，and our environment is being destroyed.Shouldn’t we take some measures to make a difference？
题型专练 七选五
A
Animals can move from place to place，but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack，it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away，and they lack teeth and claws. 1
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example，the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines(刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. 2
Some plants，such as the oak tree，have thick and hard leaves that make it difficult for the animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material. 3
Many plants also have chemical defenses. 4 Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a worm bites a tobacco leaf，the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the worm.
5 A certain plant in China，for example，has physically spiny leaves，and each spine contains chemically poisonous venom(毒液)．A single experience with this kind of plants will teach an animal to stay away in the future.
A．Animals are good at protecting themselves.
B．Eating such grasses wears down animals’ teeth.
C．Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses.
D．Plants have more ways to defend against the enemies than animals.
E．This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
F．Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction.
G．But plants can defend themselves by using both the physical and chemical means.
1．答案 G
解析 该句位于首段段末，应能起到引出下文内容的作用。下面的几段均介绍了植物保护自身免遭动物伤害的方法，且该空前的三句介绍了与动物相比植物的劣势，故G项(但植物可以通过使用物理和化学方法对自己进行保护)符合此处的语境。
2．答案 E
解析 上一句中提到较低处的冬青树叶比较高处的叶子有更多的刺，而E项(这是因为较低处的树叶更容易被大多数动物够到)紧承上文，介绍了原因。
3．答案 B
解析 上一句中提到有些草可能含有沙质物质，而B项(吃这些草会磨损动物的牙齿)恰能顺承上文。
4．答案 F
解析 第四段主要介绍了有些植物能够使用化学防御方式来抵御伤害。结合下一句中的“by increasing the production of these chemicals”可知，该空应点明有些植物能够产生一些味苦或者会引起不良反应的化学物质，即F项。
5．答案 C
解析 下文的例子中提到的植物既有“physically spiny leaves”，又有“chemically poisonous venom”，由此可见，本段介绍了有些植物既依靠物理方式也依靠化学方式抵御侵害，故选C项。
B
As we “happen to be” the best creature in the world，it’s our duty to look after other species. Here are some points which might help to protect wildlife.
Join organizations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund. They have devoted themselves to protecting the earth and its animals. Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the environment. 1
2 Don’t buy anything made from ivory(象牙) or things like this. Baby seals are hunted for their skin，as it is used to make expensive coats. Don’t buy them.
3 You can write a heartfelt and logical letter to the government，stating your ideas about this problem and how it can be solved.
Recycle(回收利用) and reuse. It will reduce the need to have more raw materials to produce something. 4 And wild animals’ home will not be destroyed.
Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals. 5 Governments should apply strict laws to stop hunting.
I hope you find this post helpful. Share your views about this issue and let your voice be heard.
A．Let your voice be heard.
B．Stop hunting for pleasure.
C．As a result，fewer trees will be cut down.
D．You can build a bird house and feed local birds.
E．Refuse fur coats and medicines made from rare animals.
F．You can find some organizations like these and join them.
G．There they will be able to move freely without worrying about hunters.
语篇解读 因为人类是世界上最高级的生物，所以我们有责任去照顾其他物种。文章介绍了一些可能有助于保护野生动物的方法。
1．答案 F
解析 由空格前面的句子“Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the environment.”可知，很多志愿者都加入这样的组织，为环境服务，你也可以找到一些像这样的组织并且加入进去，故选F。
2．答案 E
解析 由后文中的“Baby seals are hunted for their skin，as it is used to make expensive coats.”可知，人们猎杀海豹，用它们的皮制作昂贵的大衣。因此作者建议我们拒绝购买皮毛大衣和用稀有动物制成的药，故选E。
3．答案 A
解析 由空格后面的句子“You can write a heartfelt...how it can be solved.”可知，作者建议我们写一封真诚而富有逻辑的信给政府部门，表达我们对这个问题的观点，并提出如何解决这个问题的建议，也就是要说出我们的心声，故选A。
4．答案 C
解析 由空格前的内容可知，回收和循环利用将会减少生产产品时对原材料的需求。而这样做将会减少对木材的需求，而且野生动物们的家园也不会被破坏，故选C。
5．答案 G
解析 由空格前面的句子“Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals.”可知，作者呼吁政府为野生动物建立更多的保护区和国家公园，在那里动物可以自由走动，不用担心被猎杀，故选G。
