三、阅读理解
The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens because some animals are in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt since 1994.
Animal protection groups protested this decision. But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
This brings an old question back into the spotlight — which is more important, protecting animals or protecting people’s interests
This question is asked in other countries too. In Switzerland, a wolf was sentenced to death by the Swiss government months ago. This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money. Days ago in China, three old men were arrested for killing a serow (鬣羚), a protected species. But they insisted they didn’t know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their crops.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests, especially involving economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears. But his base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British biologist at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is hanging in the balance.”
1．In October 2015, Florida held its first bear hunt after about________.
A．five years B．ten years
C．fourteen years D．twenty-one years
2．What does the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Danger. B．Chance. C．Relief. D．Treasure.
3．What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story
A．Protecting animals needs hard work.
B．Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.
C．Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
D．Protecting animals can bring economic development.
4．Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with
A．Human development should be considered first.
B．We should pay more attention to animal protection.
C．We should consider both the environment and human interests.
D．It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
五、阅读理解
1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了，保护动物和人们的经济利益是息息相关的，有时矛盾有时一致，但不管怎么样，我们都要处理好这些关系。
1．细节理解题。由第二段“About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt since 1994.”（2015年10月，大约300头黑熊在美国佛罗里达州被杀。这是自1994年以来的第一次猎熊。），可知自1994年以来，已经过了21年，才有2015年10月的第一次猎熊活动。故选D项。
2．词义猜测题。由第三段中的“But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.”（但当地官员解释说，黑熊的数量已经增长到3500头，成为当地人的menace。在过去的两年里，熊在佛罗里达州已经伤害了至少四个人。），可知在过去的两年里，熊在佛罗里达州已经伤害了至少四个人，说明熊对当地人是一个威胁，menace在此处意为“Danger（威胁）”。故选A项。
3．推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears. But his base also offered jobs to local people.”（一个叫周伟森的人在广西桂林建立了一个野生动物基地。他救了170多只老虎和300多只熊。但他的基地也为当地人提供了就业机会。），可知周伟森的野生动物基地可以为当地人提供就业机会，说明作者想用周伟森的故事告诉我们保护动物可以带来经济发展。故选D项。
4．推理判断题。由最后一段““There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British biologist at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is hanging in the balance.””（牛津大学的英国生物学家Robert may说：“对于我们应该更多关注环境还是人类发展的问题，可能永远不会有一个标准答案。但我们不应该把任何一方推到一边，因为未来是悬而未决的。”），可知英国生物学家Robert may认为不应该把保护环境和人类发展对立起来，未来前途未卜，可得出为了未来的发展，正确的做法是人类应该同时考虑环境和人类的利益。故选C项。
六、七选五
Should We Create More National Parks to Save Endangered Animals
Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1 And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
2 If this environment is destroyed — for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down to make profits — many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 3
On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it is wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 5 As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.
A．To begin with, animals are important to humans.
B．Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C．I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D．These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E．Firstly, national parks protect these animals’ natural environment.
F．They say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life.
G．There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
答案：
六、七选五
1．C 2．E 3．B 4．F 5．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。针对我们是否应该建立更多的国家公园来拯救濒危动物这一问题，作者亮明观点表示支持，并列举了原因。
1．上文“Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct (越来越多的动物物种正处于灭绝的真正危险之中，难道你不感到担忧吗？)”为问句；下文“And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks. (我认为最好的办法是政府建立更多的国家公园)”由“And”表示顺承关系，且主语为“I”。C项“I personally believe that we must save these animals. (我个人认为我们必须拯救这些动物)”承上启下，即回答了上文的问题，同时亮明作者观点，下文是观点的进一步做法。故选C。
2．下段首句“In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. (此外，国家公园保护动物免受猎杀的危险)”为国家公园的第二个优点。由此推知，空处应为国家公园的第一个优点，E项“Firstly, national parks protect these animals’ natural environment. (首先，国家公园保护这些动物的自然环境)”符合逻辑和语境。故选E。
3．上文“A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. (许多物种濒临灭绝的一个主要原因是这些动物被猎人杀死。他们打猎赚钱)”介绍物种灭绝的一个原因是猎人为了赚钱。B项“Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport. (有些猎人甚至只是为了消遣而捕猎动物)”介绍猎人猎杀动物的又一原因，仅是为了消遣娱乐，承接上句。故选B。
4．上文“They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. (他们认为野生动物生活在自然环境中更快乐)”表明观点。F项“They say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life. (他们说，尽管这些动物可能面临危险，但它们享受着自由的生活)”顺承观点，符合语境，且主语一致。故选F。
5．上文“All in all, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. (总而言之，这些缺点远不如国家公园的好处重要)”为总括句，再次论证作者的观点，支持通过国家公园来保护濒危动物；下文“As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings. (事实上，他们保护动物免受他们最大的敌人——人类——的伤害)中“they”为代词指代。D项“These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.”承接上文观点，且照应名词短语“national parks”，而且下文与本句为递进关系。故选D试卷第4页，共5页

三、范文
Dear grandson,
It is a beautiful day here on the plain. I expect you and your friends are happily running around, free to go anywhere you want. But can you imagine what our life was like 35 years ago, my dear
For us, the 1980s and 1990s were bad times. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. There were two causes of this serious situation. For one thing, hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. For another, as new roads and railways were built, our habitats were becoming smaller.
To save our species from extinction, national nature reserves were established to provide shelter for us. Besides, bridges and gates were added to help us move safely across different habitats. In my opinion, when harming wildlife like us, humans are destroying themselves, because they are also part of nature and cannot survive on their own. Only when they live in harmony with nature can they save ourselves.
So thanks to their efforts, we can now live in harmony. I do hope that your happy life today will last forever.
Love Grandpa
