Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in
the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever.
Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature (生态平衡). Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (老鹰), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied (繁殖) quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know
about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid (禁止) the killing of any animals or plants
on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
( ) 1. Why do people kill animals
They kill animals to raise money. B. Animals destroy their natural resources.
C, Animals create many problems. D. They kill animals for something they need.
( ) 2. What has happened to the animals on the earth
A. Millions of kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
B. Many kinds of animals have died out.
C. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
D. All kinds of animals are in danger.
( ) 3. Animals are important to us mainly because ____.
A. they give us a source of food B. they are beautiful and lovely
C. they keep the balance of nature D. they give us a lot of pleasure
( ) 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph
Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals.
B. Animals in danger will not be killed any more.
C. The number of some animals in danger will increase.
D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people.

[浙江台州2020高一期末]A woman is swimming at night in a dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in terror , then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws. This film was a great hit, but it made things worse.
Jaws made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Some stopped swimming in the sea,afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Others started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.
After 1975, the number of large sharks fell quickly around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also fishing, a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. Unexpectedly, finning would have a powerful effect upon Peter Bencly, who wrote the film Jaws was based on.
One day in 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. He saw fishermen finning and sharks being killed, which caused a deep change in him. From then on, he saw people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. Also, he admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behaviour.“ Sharks don't target (把...作为攻击目标) humans,”he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.
Today, as we learn more about sharks, more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.
( ) 1. The film Jaws led to____________.
an end of shark fishing B. a rise in shark population
C, the popularity of shark movies D. people’s scare about sharks
( ) 2. How did the sight of finning affect Peter Benchley
It woke him up to his false idea of sharks. B. It inspired him to do research about sharks.
C, It drove him to learn how to protect sharks. D. It encouraged him not to be afraid of sharks.
( ) 3. What is the best title for the text
Sharks: Dangerous or Endangered B. Jaws: the Hottest Shark Movie Ever
C, Shark Attacks: Not a Problem Anymore D. Humans: the Favourite Target of Sharks
