Passage2 阅读理解
China plays a major cooperative role in protecting biodiversity, starting with its ban on the ivory trade.
As Africa gears up to preserve its flora and fauna — species on the verge of extinction because of the illegal wildlife trade, overpopulation, over-exploitation and increased infrastructure development — China has proved to be a key partner.
The Asian powerhouse, has been engaged in various collaborative initiatives with African countries, from financing to equipment donation and helping the continent to preserve its heritage.
One of the notable initiatives is China’s ban on the domestic ivory trade. This has given many African countries hope, since China is the largest consumer of ivory in the world, followed by the United States, according to a study by British conservation group Care for the Wild
International.
Judi Wakhungu, the Kenyan Cabinet secretary for environment and natural resources, lauds the move, noting that wildlife poaching and trafficking are economic crimes that pose threats to the economies of many African nations.
“I applaud the government of China for the bold and encouraging move to close its domestic legal market for ivory by the end of the year,” she says.
Julius Kamau, executive director of the East African Wild Life Society, says the move to ban the ivory trade offers a glimmer of optimism in the fight against elephant poaching.
“We have been advocating for a ban on the ivory trade for some time now; so we are happy about the initiative by the Chinese government. We hope poaching activities will be reduced significantly,” he says.
According to a survey by the World Wildlife Fund published in November, around 20,000 elephants are killed in Africa annually for their tusks. Additionally, the African tourism sector loses around $25 million (22.2 million euros; £19.4 million) annually as a result of elephant poaching.
4 .What is the passage mainly about
A .China joined the efforts to stop ivory trade.
B .A ban on the ivory trade was imposed by China.
C .Africa welcomed China’s cooperation in trade.
D .Elephant poaching can be stopped through the joint efforts.
5 .What does the ban on the ivory trade issued by China mean to Africa
A .Poaching activities will be reduced to the maximum extent.
B .The other countries will follow China to ban the ivory trade.
C .Elephants’ population will grow as fast as before.
D .It brings hope to the elephant conservation in Africa.
6 .What is the attitude of the author towards the ban imposed by China
A .Optimistic B .Objective C .Disapproving D .Indifferent
Passage3 七选五
Dogs do not see the world in the same way that we do. They rely on their body language for communication. Read on to see the ways they SHOW their feelings and emotions through their actions and behaviors!
How They Bark
There are several reasons dogs bark. If it is loud and frequent, it might be something urgent. Perhaps they sense danger and want to let you know. ____7____Loud barking can also mean that they are in pain. Make sure to pay attention to figure it out!
On Your Feet
____8____It might be a little annoying, but your dogs mean well! This is their way to show their love and loyalty. They only want to be as close to you as possible. It is behavior that they got from their ancestors when they used to run as a pack.
Eye Movement
In certain ways, dogs are like humans. ____9____They look at the ground when they feel tired or sad. Meanwhile, they open their eyes wide and look around when they are excited. A raised eyebrow might mean confusion. Make sure to take these all into account!
Barking At Nothing
Sometimes when our dogs are looking out the window and start barking, we notice there is nothing actually there for the dog to bark at, so why are they barking ____ 10____Your house is their house, too, and they want any and all intruders (侵入者) to know that they are there.
____ 11____
If your dog refuses to eat when another dog or human is in the room with them, it is not because of any other reason except for the fact that they do not want to share their food with you. While humans likely don’t think about this because we don’t eat dog food, dogs don’t understand that!
A .Using Their Tails
B .Only Eating Alone
C .They tend to show emotions with their eyes as well.
D .They could be doing this because they are protecting your house.
E .Shorter and softer barks, meanwhile, mean that they want to play.
F .Dogs like to lie on your feet when you are eating dinner or watching TV.
G .They have been waiting for you to come back, and they cannot control their excitement.
Passage4 完形填空
Female penguins get stranded
Every year, thousands of Magellanic penguins (麦哲伦企鹅) get stranded along the coast of South America, but, ____ 12____ about 75% of those that get stuck are female. Now scientists say they have worked out what is behind the gender ____ 13____: the females migrate further north
than males.
Magellanic penguins finish breeding in Patagonia in February, and, during the ____ 14____ winter months, head north, reaching as far as Brazil, in search of anchovies (风尾鱼). But every year thousands become stranded, with many ____ 15____ to safety on board military aircraft by human.
Writing in the journal Current Biology, researchers in Japan and Argentina report how they ____ 16____ tracking device to eight male and six female penguins in 2017 and tracked where the birds went after they left the breeding grounds of Cabo dos Bahfa in Argentina and began the migration north in April.
Previously it was unknown whether male and female’s took different paths or not. “Although some ____ 17____ are made, the exact reason for the ____ 18____ stranding has been unknown due to the lack of information on their behavior outside the breeding season.” said Takashi Yamamoto, a co-author of the report from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Japan.
The results from the study offer a clearer picture. ____ 19____ the authors note that only a small number of penguins were tracked, all the female’s generally traveled further north. The male, meanwhile, predominantly stuck to waters of the Argentinian coast. The study also found male ____20____ dived deeper than female’s: about 59 metres compared with about 35 metres.
The authors offer a number of reasons why males and females may head to different areas— including to avoid _____21_____ for food—and why they dive to different _____22_____ —the females’ smaller bodies may restrict the depths they can reach. They also suggest the different sexes may seek waters of different temperatures, with the _____23_____ females preferring warmer, shallower surroundings.
While researchers are still trying to understand why penguins end up stranded, Yamamoto and colleague’s suggest those that end up further north may have used more energy swimming or catching _____24_____ prey, leaving them exhausted. Climate change, pollution in the area or injury from fishing equipment could also play a role. Reports of standings have noted that many penguins are unwell or exhausted, with some even washing up dead.
“_____25_____, plastic remains have been reported in the stomach of beach-washed Magellanic penguins,” said Yamamoto, adding that a stewed sex ratio could potentially lead to a population decline.
While the findings may not help prevent strandings, Yamamoto said it could help with _____26_____ of the species. “If we do not consider any action, such as marine zoning, I expect that the number of stranding individuals will increase.”
12 .A .desperately B .puzzlingly C .obviously D .undoubtedly
13 .A .combination B .frustration C .conflict D .imbalance

On his way home, Jonathon saw a gray, long-haired cat sitting on the sidewalk. As he stopped to pet her, he noticed that she was not wearing a collar. She rubbed her head against his hand and began to purr (发呼噜声). She reminded Jonathon of Smoky, the cat he had when he was younger. Smoky’s fur had been long and gray too.
Jonathon petted the cat for a while. Then he said, “I have to go,” and continued home. To his surprise, the cat followed him.
When Jonathon was home, he walked up the porch steps and went in the kitchen. The cat followed him up the steps and sat quietly outside the door, watching him closely. Jonathon made a sandwich. The cat continued to stare at him. Jonathon sighed. “I know it’s not a good idea to feed a stray cat,” he said, “but you look so hungry! I can’t sit here and eat without feeding you too!”
Jonathon put some turkey on a plate for the cat. As Jonathon watched, she ate every scrap of turkey and then began to clean her face and paws. “Wow!” Jonathon said, “You must have been
starving. I wonder how long it has been since someone fed you.”
Jonathon finished his sandwich and looked at the cat. Her long fur was matted (乱蓬蓬的). Jonathon remembered that Smoky’s brush and toys were stored in the garage. “I’m going to clean you up a little,” Jonathon said to the cat.
Jonathon found Smoky’s brush and got to work. As the dirt came out, the cat’s fur began to get lighter. “Hey!” Jonathon said, realizing the truth. “You’re not gray—you’re white!”
After her brushing, the cat climbed onto Jonathon’s lap and purred. “You’re so friendly, you probably belong to someone,” Jonathon said. “I bet you’re just lost.” When Jonathon’s father came home, Jonathon showed him the cat that had stretched out in a patch of sun on the porch.
“Why don’t you make some signs to place in the neighborhood,” his father suggested. 注意:
1. 续写字数应为 150 左右;

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是中国急需采取行动来保护淡水物种。 27.考查非谓语动词。句意:鲟鱼被称为“活化石”,是一种非常珍贵的物种。句中谓语是 is ,空格处用非谓语动词, be known as 意为“被称为”,因此空格处用过去分词表被动, 位于 句首,首字母大写,故填 Known 。 28.考查名词的复数。句意:然而,据世界自然保护联盟(IUCN) ——最大的非营利环保 组织之一——称,世界上现存的 26 种鲟鱼都面临灭绝的危险。 one of 后用名词的复数, organise 的名词是 organisation,复数是 organisations,故填 organisations 。 29.考查比较级。句意:他们在过去三代的衰落比之前想象的更加尴尬。由 than 可知,空 格处用比较级, awkward 的比较级是 more awkward。故填 more awkward 。 30 .考查冠词。句意:他补充说: “这为保护专家提供了一个机会,提高公众对保护长江流 域淡水物种的紧迫性的意识,并教育公众拯救该地区的其他物种,使其免于灭
绝。 ”opportunity 是可数名词,表泛指,前面用不定冠词, opportunity 是元音音素开头,不 定冠词用 an ,故填 an。
31 .考查连词。句意:他补充说: “这为保护专家提供了一个机会,提高公众对保护长江流 域淡水物种的紧迫性的意识,并教育公众拯救该地区的其他物种,使其免于灭绝。 ”“raise public awareness”和“educate the public”之间是并列关系,因此空格处用 and 表并列,故填 and。
32.考查不定式。句意:为了防止中国淡水物种的进一步流失,人们必须立即采取行动。根 据语境可知,空格处用不定式表目的,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填 Toprevent。
33.考查副词。句意:为了防止中国淡水物种的进一步流失,人们必须立即采取行动。空格 处用副词 immediately 修饰动词 act ,immediately 意为“立即”,故填 immediately。
34 .考查被动语态。句意:此外,必须采取最系统的保护措施,减缓某些物种灭绝的速度, 以消除对它们的生命和栖息地的长期威胁。威胁是被消除, 句子用被动语态, 空前有情态动 词 must,因此空格处是 be done,故填 be removed。
35 .考查定语从句。句意:此外,必须采取最系统的保护措施,减缓某些物种灭绝的速度, 以消除对它们的生命和栖息地的长期威胁。分析可知, 空格处引导的是定语从句, 从句中缺 少主语, 先行词 protection measures 是物, 且被最高级 the most systematic 修饰, 因此空格处 只能用关系代词 that,不能用 which,故填 that。36.考查代词。句意:这不是某些部门可以做到的。空格处用 it 指代前面的所讲的事情, 位于句首,首字母大写,故填 It。

Passage1
The giant panda, one of the surviving ancient animals, is regarded as a national treasure of China. It is loved by people worldwide.
The home of the giant panda is in the distant mountains, where it feeds on the tender bamboo leaves. With more and more forests destroyed and most of the bamboo cut down, it is becoming more and more difficult for giant pandas to find food for themselves. To protect the species from extinction, China has set up some nature reserves. China has also carried out a series of panda research and breeding programmes in cooperation with other countries. But more money is needed to these programmes.
It is our eager hope that people who care about the conservation of rare animals will lend us a hand to help save giant pandas, so that they can live with us forever.
