Cats wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n't die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little.

A new-born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams.
Elephants are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the most careful animals in their love. A male elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body.
Usuall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time.

There are m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any wetlands(湿地) in China and some of them have become the world's important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and
(milu deer)a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nimals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperatur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生生物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

The day that I saw my very first wild snake, I knew that's what I would do for the rest of my life. I didn't know if I would be a teacher or a zookeeper, but I know I would have a life connected with (与……有关) nature.
Reporter: Why did you write the book
Corwin: We're losin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g species(物种) very fast. I wanted to show people that while we are in a very serious situation, we are not at the point of no return. If we make big changes, we may have the chance to save what remains.
Reporter: Is i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t true that humans are the reason that many of these animals are in danger

When peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple think of tigers, they think: strong and dangerous. But now, the big animal is calling for our help.
There were on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the last 70 years, the number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22.
The World W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ildlife Fund (WWF) started a program recently. It is about to put an end to tiger poaching(非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The aim is to double(使…加倍) the number of wild tigers in the next ten years.
According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to research by Chinese officers and the WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the world's most endangered animals. "If the government doesn't take any action, it's quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years," said Zhu Chunquan, director at the WWF's Beijing office.
Wild ani ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mals such as the red deer, sika deer (梅花鹿) and wild boar (野猪) are the tigers' main food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest threat to tigers. Traps(陷阱) are also a threat. In October, the people of Mishan, Heilongjiang found a dead Siberian tiger with a wire(金属丝) around its neck.
"Volunteers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the WWF remove traps every year, but the fact is that we cannot clear all the traps ourselves," Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals which tigers eat. "To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop eating wild animals."
68. What are tigers like in people's eyes
A. Lovely and friendly. B. Lovely but dangerous.
C. Strong but friendly. D. Strong and dangerous.
69. How many kinds of tigers are left(剩余) in the world now
A. 11. B. 8. C. 5. D. 3.
70. Why did the WWF start a program recently
A. It was started to stop poaching and save animals in danger.
B. It was started to stop poaching and save wild tigers.
C. It was started to call on more countries to join in the WWF.
D. It was started to call on more countries to protect animals.
71. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following is the reason why the number of Siberian tigers is becoming smaller and smaller
①the poaching ②t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )raps ③people's eating of wild animals ④fewer volunteers
A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④
72. The word "threa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t" in Paragraph 5 means in Chinese.
A. 威胁 B. 方法 C. 狩猎 D. 征兆
六、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
Ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e are nearly 400 different types of sharks, but only about 30 types have even been reported as attacking human beings.
The chanc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es of being attacked by a shark are very small compared to other dangers. Many more people drown(溺死) in the ocean every year than are bitten by sharks. The low number of attacks that happen every year proves that sharks do not feed on humans if they have the choice. There are three types of shark attacks. The main one is known as a “hit and run”. The shark attacks because it thinks you are a fish, but when it tastes a human it decides not to eat you. The second type is called a “bump and bite”. The shark bumps you to find out if you are fit to be eaten and then bites you if it thinks you are. The third type is called a “sneak”. When attacking in this way, the shark waits for you to swim by and attacks you suddenly. The latter(后者的) two types of attack are more likely to be deadly for humans.
Howe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver, your chances of being attacked by a shark can be reduced if you follow the advice below.
Do not s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wim in the dark. Sharks can still see you but you cannot see them.
Do not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )swim if you are cut or if you have a fresh wound. Sharks can smell blood over a long distance.
Do not w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear bright clothing or jewellery because sharks are attracted to colours and shiny objects.
Try ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and stay in groups, as sharks usually avoid large numbers of people.
Don't b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e frightened(受惊吓) by sharks as there is 30 times greater chance of being hit by lightning than being attacked by a shark.
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
73. Are there only 30 types of sharks in the world
74. Are the chance ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of being attacked by a shark small or big compared to other dangers
75. What are the two deadly shark attacks called
76. Why should you try and stay in groups to avoid the shark attack
