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 earth 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 or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, 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 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 the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

第二节、阅读还原（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
People often think doing nothing is quite easy, but sometimes it can be very hard. Many of us want to help wild animals when they seem to be in trouble. 41 In fact, the best thing to do is leave the animals alone. Wild animals are stronger than we think. This protects both you and the animal.
Young wildlife usually are not alone, even if (即便) a parent is not around. For example, baby birds often leave the nest before they can fly, jumping around on the ground for days. 42
By trying to help wildlife, you might hurt them. A man in Georgia saw a manatee (海牛) out of the water. 43 So he pushed it back into the water. Scientists said the manatee was possibly just enjoying the sun on a warm day.
44 Even professional (专业的) people get hurt sometimes. Manatees may look slow, but there is a lot of energy hiding within their thick fur.
45 You’ll know a wild animal needs help if it has a broken leg or is caught in a man-made trap (陷阱). If so, call a professional wildlife rescuer (救援者). They know how to help wild animals.
In a word, the best way is to leave wildlife alone, whenever possible, keeping them truly wild.
A. He thought the manatee was trapped.
B. Your “help” may also hurt you.
C. But we need to stop doing so.
D. Sometimes wildlife certainly needs our help.
E. You’d better help the wild animals at once.
F. At the same time the parents may be getting food somewhere else.

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 earth 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 or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, 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 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 the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

People often think doing nothing is quite easy, but sometimes it can be very hard. Many of us want to help wild animals when they seem to be in trouble. 41 In fact, the best thing to do is leave the animals alone. Wild animals are stronger than we think. This protects both you and the animal.
Young wildlife usually are not alone, even if (即便) a parent is not around. For example, baby birds often leave the nest before they can fly, jumping around on the ground for days. 42
By trying to help wildlife, you might hurt them. A man in Georgia saw a manatee (海牛) out of the water. 43 So he pushed it back into the water. Scientists said the manatee was possibly just enjoying the sun on a warm day.
44 Even professional (专业的) people get hurt sometimes. Manatees may look slow, but there is a lot of energy hiding within their thick fur.
45 You’ll know a wild animal needs help if it has a broken leg or is caught in a man-made trap (陷阱). If so, call a professional wildlife rescuer (救援者). They know how to help wild animals.
In a word, the best way is to leave wildlife alone, whenever possible, keeping them truly wild.
A. He thought the manatee was trapped.
B. Your “help” may also hurt you.
C. But we need to stop doing so.
D. Sometimes wildlife certainly needs our help.
E. You’d better help the wild animals at once.
F. At the same time the parents may be getting food somewhere else.
【答案】41. C 42. F 43. A 44. B 45. D

43. 根据“A man in Georgia saw a manatee out of the water.”可知一个人看到了海牛出水，根据下文“Scientists said the manatee was possibly just enjoying the sun on a warm day.”可知这个男人帮倒忙了，A选项“他认为海牛被困住了”符合语境。故选A。

How to protect the endangered animals？
Animals are our friends. How to protect the endangered animals
First, our government is working to protect all animals in danger, and has made lots of plans to save the endangered animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals. We should keep them away from our meals. In that case, there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer. Last, we should protect the environment. We should give them fresh water to drink. We should stop people from cutting too many trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their homes. All of us should try our best to protect wild animals!
