1.remind; of
2.day and night
3.make out
4.in harmony
5.observed; take
二、完形填空
1.A 由空格后的live可确定此处指“很多人来此居住”。
2.C 根据空格前后的语意“现在没有森林”和“还有一些地区由树木覆盖”可以看出前后语意为转折关系。故选though。
3.D 由空格前的“there is no forest left”以及“there are still some areas covered with trees”可知这样的地方应称之为“树林”。
4.B 由语境可以看出,此处是描述香港在人类到来之前森林繁茂的景象。thick forest “茂密的森林”。
5.A 由前文的“crocodiles”以及空格后的“along the coast”可知,鳄鱼应该生活在河里。
6.A 由于人类的出现,香港从前的样子被破坏了,动物也开始灭绝。die out “灭绝;消失”。
7.D 由前后文可以看出,人们来到香港后,这里的自然环境开始遭到破坏,树木被砍伐。put up “建造;树立;张贴”;look after “照看”;care for “喜欢;照顾”;cut down “砍倒”。
8.C 根据空格前的“needed fires to keep themselves”可以看出,人们砍伐树木是为了在冬天能够生火取暖。
9.B 由前后文可以看出,大象很快消失,因为它们没有足够的食物可以吃。
10.A in the same way “以同样的方式”。
11.D 由该段后半部分“But there is ... and there are still many different kinds of animals living there.”可以看出前后文为转折关系,由此可知此处句意为“你可能认为香港不会再有动物了”。
12.A 动物园里自然还是有动物的。
13.B 由空格后的“with so many cars and buildings”并结合实际情况可以看出,香港是一个繁忙的城市。
14.C 由对该句内容的理解可知,虽然香港原来的自然环境遭到了一定程度的破坏,但香港仍然有许多郊区,仍旧有很多种动物生活在那里。
15.A barking deer是一种动物,故该空应选择animals。
16.C 由空格后的“They are less than two feet high.”可以看出,赤鹿个头并不大。
17.A 由空格后的“rather like a dog barking”(更像是犬吠)可以看出此处在描写赤鹿的叫声。noise可指声音,而voice强调“人的嗓音”。
18.D 由后文的“... you will need to be very quiet and to have very __19__eyes”可知,赤鹿非常善于躲避其他生物,隐藏自己。
19.B 由于赤鹿非常警觉,所以,要看到它们就必须有敏锐的眼睛。
20.C 由后文的“people hunt and trap these harmless little animals”可以看出,人类是赤鹿的天敌。

Illegally Hunting Going On! Reducing from 1,000,000 to 100,000! What can we do to protect the Tibetan antelope
As is reported, too many Tibetan antelopes are being hunted and killed illegally for their fur, form which the illegal hunters can make great profits. As a result, the number of the Tibetan antelopes is decreasing rapidly.
Immediate measures must be taken to improve the present situation. Firstly, the awareness on the importance of protecting the Tibetan antelopes should be raised. Secondly, more money should be allocated for the conservation of the Tibetan antelopes. Last but not least, I suggest that some volunteers be sent there to help protect the Tibetan antelopes.
These are my suggestions and I hope they could mean something for a better future of the Tibetan antelopes.
Looking forward to further protection.
