2.whose 考查定语从句。从句中缺少定语,故用whose。
3.with 考查介词。分析句子结构可知,“ which one types”是定语从句,先行词是the cadence, 在从句中作宾语,表示“伴随着节奏”,one types with the cadence。故用介词with加关系代词which来引导定语从句。
4.in 考查介词。分析句子结构可知,an interview后为定语从句,关系代词前缺少介词;表示“在采访过程中”用介词in。
5.whose 考查定语从句。从句中缺少定语,故填whose。

Gardening is popular in many parts of the world.This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants,pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables.But it also does a lot of good to our health.
Gardening connects people.When you are gardening,you are outdoors.So it is a perfect chance to meet and spend time with your neighbours.Most people love to talk about their hobbies,and gardeners are no different.They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing.And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens almost as much as sharing flowers and vegetables from their gardens.
Gardening is a great activity for children.It gets them outdoors and off computers,televisions and cell phones.Gardening is also a great teacher.It can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating.It also helps them to understand that the natural resources(资源) are not inexhaustible and the importance of using them carefully.
Then,when you garden,you must move around.All the different movements needed for gardening,like bending and lifting,work small muscles(肌肉)in the body.And you can easily get good exercise when you are digging holes or pulling grasses.
In a study,researches looked at more than 2,800 people over the age of 60.They studied their lifestyle habits,activities and health over a 16-year period.They found that gardening could lower the risk of future dementia(痴呆) by 36%.Gardening requires people do many repeated actions,such as picking off dying flowers.These actions have a calming influence on the brain.The brain is still active but not in the same way when we use computers.
You’ll feel wonderful when what you grow in a garden looks,smells,feels and tastes good.
1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Gardeners don’t feel lonely.

答案及剖析:
1.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段第一句以及下文的叙述可知,园艺使人们相互沟通交流,所以他们不会感到孤独。
2.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据下文“the importance of using them carefully”的叙述可知,要懂得珍惜利用自然资源的重要性,说明自然资源不是无穷尽的,inexhaustible表示“无穷尽的,用之不竭的”,故C项正确。
3.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。本段通过研究数据说明,园艺可以降低痴呆发生的概率,保持大脑的活跃性,进而推断出园艺有助于健康,故选B项。
B
How crowded your neighbourhood is can affect the health of our planet,a new study finds.Scientists measured the effect that people have on the environment using a carbon footprint.That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide—a greenhouse gas—that is sent into the atmosphere because of people’s daily activities.
Carbon footprints tend to be low for citizens.Living in a suburb(郊区) outside a city,however,can be opposite(相反的).
People living in city centres have low carbon footprints,the researchers found.“It is much easier to have a low carbon effect if your home is close to where you work,shop and play,” explains Jones.Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide compared with moving people by cars.And cities with bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping the amount of greenhouse gases low.
Not everyone can afford to live in the city,however.Suburbs offer more space,allowing people to build larger homes.Suburbs may offer better schools to kids.But those homes are usually far away from where their owners work,play or learn.So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances.
The average household in a large city sends out about 40 tons of carbon dioxide per year.The average suburban household,however,sends out close to 50 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
The new findings are an important contribution to climate research.They would give scientists a better feel for how culture might mix with locations to influence our carbon footprints.
You may not have any control over the location of your home.Still,everyone can take steps to shrink their carbon footprints.That’s because how much we pollute is influenced not just by where we live,but also by how we live.
To shrink your footprint,start small.Turn off lights when they’re not in use.Recycle or reuse things instead of throwing them away.And as people get used to making small changes,the leap to bigger ones will get easier.
4.Why do people living in suburbs have higher carbon footprints
A.Because they often drive to work,play or do other things.
B.Because their homes take up too much space.
C.Because they often use buses and subways to travel great distances.
D.Because they have to send their kids to schools by car.
5.How are Paragraphs 3 to 5 mainly developed
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By explaining processes.
6.What can we infer from the passage
A.The same situation in the US applies to other countries around the world.
B.Culture plays an important role in influencing the environment.
C.Any process of making new products may pollute the environment.
D.One’s small step can make a big difference to the environment.
7.From which part of a website could this passage probably be taken
A.Health. B.Sports.
C.Culture. D.Environment.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最新研究发现:城市居民更容易产生较低的碳排放量,从而有利于环保。阅读本文,有利于促进学生对科研发展的了解,提升学生的环保意识。
答案及剖析:
4.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段最后一句“So people...distances”可见,住在郊区的人们出行往往会选择开车,以便工作、游玩或做其他事情,因而更易产生碳排放量。
5.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。文章第三段分析了住在城市的人易产生低碳排放量的原因,第四段分析了住在郊区的人易产生高碳排放量的原因,两段形成对比;第五段则对比了城市和郊区各自的年碳排放量。由此可知这三段主要是通过做比较来完成的。
6.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章最后一句“And as people get...easier”可知,当人们习惯于做出小的改变时,向大的进步跳跃将变得更容易。可见,我们应当从小事做起,减少碳排放,任何小事都能对环境有大的影响。
7.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。通读全文可知,文章主要阐述城市居民更容易产生较低的碳排放量,从而有利于环保的理论,故最有可能选自环境版块。
Ⅱ.语法填空

答案及剖析:
1.on 考查介词。具体的日期前应用介词on。
2.visiting 考查非谓语动词。介词about后接动名词作宾语。
3.had been 考查时态。“It was the first time that sb.had done...”为固定句型,意为“这是某人第一次做……”,故填had been。
4.Arriving 考查非谓语动词。arrive与其逻辑主语he之间为主动关系,故用现在分词,在句中作状语。
5.most 考查形容词。由句中的定冠词the和in the world可推断,此处指“香港有全世界最多的摩天大厦”,故用最高级形式。
6.others 考查代词。此处意为“香港人乐于助人”,故用不定代词,泛指其他人,故填others。
7.were waiting 考查时态和主谓一致。分析语境可知,此处指“很多人正在地铁站等待下一班地铁”,可判断此处应用过去进行时;“a number of+复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,故填were waiting。
8.to disturb 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“为了不影响他人,他们以如此小的声音说话”,故用动词不定式作目的状语。
9.widely 考查副词。修饰动词应用副词形式。
10.which 考查关系代词。所填词引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作宾语,先行词是experience,故应填which。Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection
1.主题语境:人与自然——园艺。

In fact,morning is the best time of a day.In the morning,the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition.Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than at any other time of the day.And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn.If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in the morning,without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier.Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early.For example,if everyone in the family gets up early,we will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family.Children will have enough time to catch the school bus.Everything is in order.However,if we get up late,we’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.
Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it.Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of getting up early.They have to make an effort to do so.If we stick to getting up early every day,we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

阅读下面短文,根据内容写一篇60个词左右的内容概要。
For many parents,making sure their children get the right amount of sleep can be difficult,especially in high-pressure situations where students tend to study all night.Unfortunately,it is often counterproductive (适得其反) because with fewer hours to sleep,their brains don’t get enough time to store what they’ve studied the night before.
In her groundbreaking book The Teenage Brain,the neuroscientist Dr Frances Jensen explains that the sleeping time isn’t simply the time for the body to relax and recover after working,studying or playing all day.It is the glue which allows us not only to recollect our experiences but also to remember everything we’ve learned that day.Basically the more we learn,the more we need to sleep.That is why a good sleep is of great importance in achieving success at school.
Then how much sleep do teenagers need The Austrian Centre for Education in Sleep (ACES) suggests 8 to 10 hours per day for high school adolescents.What happens if they don’t get enough sleep According to ACES,poor sleep will have all sorts of negative effects on teenagers,including rises in blood pressure,mood swings and impatient behaviors. Without adequate sleep the focus and attention drift,which will make it harder to receive information.The brain can no longer perform a function to deal with information properly and access previously learned information.
So,how can parents help If you think your child needs more sleep,try making gradual changes to their sleeping habits.Small increases have been proved effective in changing sleep patterns.And remember your children are going through a period of their lives when their brains and bodies are going through a lot of changes.Your job is to help make changes and go through the period with them.It may not be easy,but they will thank you for it eventually.

A
For many people who live in cities,parks are an important part of the landscape.They provide a place for people to relax and play sports,as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city.What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen,which humans need to breathe.According to one study,an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving.Parks also make cities cooler.Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect:building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release (释放) it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass.Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials,cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately,many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings,roads,parking lots,and other essential parts of the urban environment.However,cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space:rooftop gardens.While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof,human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years.Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces,but without taking up the much-needed land.In the summer,rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun,which can significantly reduce cooling bills.In the winter,gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly,leading to savings on heating bills.Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers,making their diets healthier.Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy,they are also a smart environmental investment.
1.The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.carries away
B.takes up
C.gives out
D.breathes in
2.Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect
A.More building materials.
B.More trees and grass.
C.More parking lots.
D.More rooftop gardens.
3.When it comes to rooftop gardens,what can be inferred from the passage
A.They make people much happier.
B.They provide more benefits than urban parks.
C.They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.
D.They have become very popular in recent years.
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens
A.Sceptical.
B.Supportive.
C.Critical.
D.Objective.

答案及剖析:
1.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据句子叙述可知,1英亩地的树木可以吸收的二氧化碳量等同于行驶11000英里的汽车排放的二氧化碳的量,由此可以推测emit应为“放出”之意,故选C项。
2.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段中的“Scientists have long noted what is called... and grass.”可知,诸如金属、混凝土之类的建筑材料与城市热岛效应有关,故选A项。
3.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段中的“In the summer,rooftop gardens ... heating bills.”可知,房顶花园可以起到节能的效果,故选C项。
4.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息对作者态度进行推断归纳的能力。根据第四段第一句“Rooftop gardens provide ... much-needed land.”和最后两句“Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can ... environmental investment.”可知,作者叙述了房顶花园的好处,由此可以看出作者对rooftop gardens是支持的,故选B项。
B
A year ago,I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen,focusing on reducing the single-use products such as plastic bags and paper towels.I’m not going to sugarcoat my experience.It takes commitment and a willingness to change long-held habits.In creating my kitchen,I tried a lot of different alternative products and some plain old common sense;the result,however,has been worth the effort.I’m recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I’m saving money,too.
I’m not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags,so this was,perhaps,the biggest challenge for me.Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment,but the cost is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least $100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap.I will check online periodically for recycling updates,where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered,from party supplies to mixed-material food containers.
I’m a clean freak (怪人) and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis,but it’s easy enough to take old T-shirts or towels and cut them up to use to wipe down surfaces.I’m also a fan of bamboo paper towels,which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels,yet are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days.Better yet,they can be reused up to 100 times.As for kitchen sponges(海绵擦),I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials.
When purchasing household items online,I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent.I’ll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how it is packaging items for delivery.
5.What is the author’s main purpose of creating her kitchen
A.To save money.
B.To reduce waste and recycle more.
C.To change her long-held habits.
D.To make it cleaner and more practical.
6.What does the underlined word “sugarcoat” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Make attractive. B.Get interested.
C.Show off. D.Give up.
7.In creating her kitchen,what does the author do
A.Begins to recycle more single-use plastic bags.
B.Goes through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis.
C.Checks online periodically to buy zero-waste box.
D.Chooses to use the recyclable or reusable kitchen items.
8.What can we learn about the author from the text
A.She has strong environmental awareness.
B.She is used to traditional paper towels.
C.She has a good knowledge of financial investment.
D.She prefers to have her purchases packed in small boxes.
语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作者为了减少一次性产品的使用,而建了一个环保厨房,并且改变了自己很多生活习惯,使用更环保的产品。阅读本文,有利于增强学生的环保意识。
答案及剖析:
5.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的第一句可知,作者创建厨房的主要目的是减少浪费并循环利用更多物品。故选B。
6.A 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据第一段中的“It takes commitment and a willingness to change long-held habits.”可知,作者建环保厨房,改变一个长期的生活习惯是她自己承诺和心甘情愿的,而并不是让自己的经历变得更有吸引力。因此可推断sugarcoat意为“使……有吸引力”。故选A。
7.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的“I tried a lot of different alternative products... and I’m saving money,too.”可知,在创建厨房时,作者选择了可循环利用或可多次使用的厨房用品,故选D。
8.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第一段的内容可知,作者为了减少一次性产品的使用,而建了一个环保厨房,所以从文中我们可知作者是一个环保意识很强的人,故选A。

(Text 10)
W:When we arrived in London,we were two hours late because our train had been held up by the bad weather.Outside the station it was snowing hard and there was a long queue of people waiting for taxis.We got worried that we couldn't find a hotel.As we were about to join the queue of people waiting for taxis,a young man pulled up in his car and asked us where we wanted to go.The car was new and the young man looked clean and respectable,so we decided to accept his offer.When we told him that we didn't have a hotel,he said he could take us to the nearest one which was clean and cheap.
He put our luggage in the boot and we drove off to the hotel.We could hardly believe our luck.When we got to the hotel,he told us that he would wait while we checked in.After we had found out that the hotel was full,we went down the steps only to find that our driver had disappeared with our luggage.We were so upset.

All of us spend a large part of our lives at home—eating,sleeping,relaxing and communicating with our family members.Our home is a shelter for us,away from the noisy,busy,and polluted world outside—a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually.Eco-friendliness(环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco-friendly as possible.This is not only good for our health,but also good for the outward environment.Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco-friendly.
Kitchen
Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime.Don't make wasteful use of the gas.Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas.Turn it to low when not required—always using it on “high” burns a lot of gas.
Indoor plants
Plants are extremely eco-friendly and can be used to make your home look lively.Apart from adding life to home,they give out O2,thus making the air inside fresh.You can keep plants in your home,but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly.Also,if they are kept outside,clean their leaves with a wet cloth,as dust may be added to them.A home decorated(装饰)with plants looks attractive.Plants are natural home decorative gifts that show concern about the environment.A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.
Saving water
Most of the time,we take water for granted—we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes.Needless to say,this is a huge waste of natural resources(资源).Try to recycle water.For example,the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants;the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.
24.Why is the importance of our home discussed in Paragraph 1
A.To advise us to communicate more with our family members.
B.To show it's necessary to make our home eco-friendly.
C.To advise us to spend more time staying at home.
D.To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.
25.What is advised to be done in the kitchen
A.To open the window.
B.To prepare simple meals.
C.To save energy.
D.To turn down lights.
26.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean
A.We don't realise the importance of water.
B.We try our best not to waste water.
C.We don't use water frequently.
D.We make full use of water.
27.Which could be the best title for the text
A.Live a relaxing life.
B.Create a clean and safe home.
C.Our home is a shelter for us.
D.Make your home eco-friendly.

Eco-friendly Vauban,lied in the southwest part of Germany,has
everything—tree-lined streets,perfect houses—but it's missing one urban feature of the last 100 years or so:the car.And Vauban residents don't mind one bit.Vauban doesn't ban cars entirely.Rather,it just tries to reduce the use of cars by creating “parking-free” and “car-free” living.In Vauban,cars can only be parked in public parking lots,so living without a car saves residents the cost of parking in the public lot.Cars also are prevented from using certain roads and must stick to strict speed limits.With these limitations,fewer than 20 percent of residents own cars.And now,with a population of 5,500,it's attracting attention from around the world.Can an eco-friendly city like Vauban be a model for people in other countries to stop their over-reliance on the cars
Sometimes when I watch a news report what's in the back of my mind is what isn't being reported or stressed.While this eco-friendly city is inspiring in that it shows residents getting exercise and fresh air through the majority use of bicycles,as well as good old-fashioned walking,common sense would tell you that even for a place like Vauban,Germany,it owes its existence to the cars.
Do you think that bicycles were able to transport all the construction materials that were needed to build and maintain the eco-friendly homes and businesses in Vauban It took cars to help build this city.It's one of the paradoxes of life that sometimes in order to get away from relying on something like the car,you actually have to rely on that very thing at the beginning and into the foreseeable future to some degree.
I myself haven't owned a car for more than 14 years,and mostly get around town running,walking,or using public transportation.There are times I wish I had one,since it would make many things easier,but overall I'm glad not to have to deal with the headaches of owning a car,which caused me to get rid of it in the first place.And all the walking and running has helped to keep me fit and healthy.To get even close to being like eco-friendly Vauban,people will need to absolutely change the way they muting (乘车上下班)patterns will have to change,public transportation will have to be invested in,and so on.And though ending our love affair with the car will be impossible during my lifetime,we may at least start to see more Vauban-like areas in the world.
We can hope that more people will consider using their feet more to get around,cutting down on pollution,and giving themselves some more exercise.
28.Why don't over 80% of the residents in Vauban own car
A.The streets there are very narrow.
B.There are many limitations on the use of cars.
C.The government limits the number of cars.
D.Most cars belong to their public property.
29.From Paragraph 3 we can know that getting away from cars in cities is .
A.an opposite thing
B.a big shortcoming
C.a great strength
D.a firm base
30.How does the writer feel of not owning a car
A.Curious. B.Proud.
C.Grateful. D.Regretful.
31.What is the attitude towards most people about the lifestyle according to the writer
A.Not mentioned.
B.They are not eco-friendly.
C.They have too many cars.
D.They work hard.

Waste sorting is a procedure that involves the separation of waste on purpose into different kinds as defined by the final use for the waste.That is to say this separation of waste is usually aimed at different ends,including for recycling purposes,or even for producing power.As such,the waste sorting could fall into sorts like paper-based materials,plastic-based materials and organic materials.The process could also be started by hand.Indeed,some companies that manage waste have some sorts of waste sorting facilities in place for this aim.
An example of the type of waste sorting that could be observed at the individual level is the common type in cities where various waste bins are set out with clear indications of the type of waste that should be put into them.Some of the waste bins have pictures indicating that only paper should be put into the bins,some are meant for cigarette butts,others for plastics,and the rest could be for any other type of waste.Also,persons at home could begin the process of waste sorting by dividing the waste into various kinds before taking it out.Some companies and government organisations even offer incentives,such as offering some money to consumers in exchange for them bringing in used bottles and plastics.
Some companies have specifically created facilities that are only targeted toward the large-scale application of waste sorting for the purpose of separating the various collected waste into different kinds.
One of the purposes for the application of waste sorting could be for the sake of separating materials for recycling,such as plastics and paper.It could also be for the separation of the waste into the general categories of wet and dry waste.The process could also be for the purpose of sorting commercial waste.With the application,I'm sure it is becoming easier to separate waste.
32.What can we know about waste sorting
A.It is aimed at producing paper.
B.Its process is started by hand.
C.Its kinds are decided by the final use.
D.Its aim is to recycle waste successfully.
33.What can help the residents sort waste easily
A.Educating them to know common knowledge.
B.Laying out marked dustbins in the neighborhood.
C.Warning them not to drop rubbish everywhere.
D.Indicating only recycled waste can be collected.
34.What does the underlined word “incentives” mean in the passage
A.Methods. B.Suggestions.
C.Rewards. D.Solutions.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the application
A.Doubtful. B.Worried.
C.Indifferent. D.Positive.

Dear Tom,
How is everything going I'd like to tell you something about the journey.Before graduation,a journey was organised by our class.
The journey was scheduled for the last Saturday.Some students preferred to take a bus while some were fond of cycling.Also,some insisted that they should walk.Finally,we were persuaded to cycle.
When we arrived there,we found ourselves in its beautiful view.The air there was so good to breathe that we could hardly wait to get close to nature.
It was through the journey that we realised we should care about the environment.By the way,I am visiting you next Friday.
Yours,

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,根据内容写一篇60个词左右的内容概要。
Every year,especially during the spring and early summer,the lives of many young animals are disrupted.People may attempt to “save” these animals,and more often than not,the mother is nearby.
Young rabbits found at a nest site do not need to be rescued.The mother rabbit will not return as long as a person is standing near the nest site.If you've kicked to open a nest,just replace the top of the nest,and leave.The mother will return and care for the young.Cottontail rabbits leave their young for hours while eating,but they do return to nurse the young,until the young are old enough to survive on their own.Young rabbits are ready to leave the nest at three to four weeks of age when their eyes are open and their bodies are furry.
Young birds are sometimes found on the ground near a nest.When this happens,the best thing to do is to put the bird carefully back into the nest.Don't worry about getting your scent on the bird;it will not affect the mother's care. If you can't reach the nest,leave the bird on the ground.Every bird alive today has spent a few precarious days on the ground while learning to fly.The best thing you can do during this time of year to protect young wildlife is to keep cats indoors.
When young raccoons are found out alone,it is likely that they are merely exploring and their mother is nearby.They are probably old enough to be fully capable of climbing back up a tree to their den.If they were too young to climb,the mother would carry them back.
If you find a young fawn lying alone,leave it there.The mother comes back several times each day to nurse the fawn.If you've already picked the fawn up and brought it home,put it back.Even one or two days after removal from the wild,fawns have been successfully reunited with their mothers,by returning them to the place where they were found.
