Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly First, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源),dried up.Second, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.
To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007.MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water.As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.
However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching (偷猎)and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly.Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016."If this situation goes on,all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020," said a member of MEP.
Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard.More organizations (组织)have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law.Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level.The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.

When you think of the Arctic (北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. "And now it’s the Arctic’s turn," CNN says.
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow.Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters(毫米). Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter(每升) of snow.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists, "It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air." They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in "large" pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems(生态系统) along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.
36.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. The Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow.
B. The Arctic is the last really clean place left on earth.
C. The Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air.
D. The Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish.
37.What does the underlined word "contribute" mean in Chinese
A. 增加　　 　　B. 捐献
C. 造成 D. 是……原因之一
38.Where do most of the microplastics in the snow come from
A. From water. B. From air.
C. From wind. D. From food.
39.Which of the following isn’t true
A. Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.
B. Microplastics may cause lung cancer.
C. We may breathe microplastics in the Arctic.
D. We don’t have to mind microplastics right now.
40.How does the writer end this passage
A. By advising us to drink clean water.
B. By asking people not to eat sea animals.
C. By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.
D. By showing the beauty of the Arctic.
四、根据短文内容及首字母提示补全短文(每小题1分,共10分)

How to Make Our Hometown More Beautiful
The clean water and green mountains are our treasures. But the environment pollution is a bit serious these days. In order to make our hometown more beautiful, we students should do something to protect the environment.
First, we should turn off the lights to save electricity when we leave the room. Second, let's walk or ride a bike to school. It is not only good for the environment but also good for our health. Third, we should also advise our parents to take the bus to work instead of driving. Use reusable bags when shopping. We should stop using plastic bags to reduce pollution. Last but not least, we should try to sort the rubbish and throw it into the right dustbins every day.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! Only if we know what to do in our daily life can we make a difference.
