守护东北虎：森林之王的生存与保护·There are many kinds of tigers all over the world， and the largest tiger is the Northeast Tiger. Most Northeast Tigers live in the northeast of China， like Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. Because there are many forests and mountains， the tigers usually like living there. In the forests and mountains， there are fewer people getting out and coming in. So the tigers are very free. They can run after each other， catch and eat some small animals， like rabbits and deer.
The Northeast Tigers are different from the ordinary tigers. For example， the Northeast Tigers can swim very well， but can’t climb the trees. The Northeast Tigers’ hearing is the best， and no matter how low the sound is， they can hear it.
As the number of the tigers becomes smaller and smaller， we should protect the tigers as well as we can from now on.

Why？ Because they are cute. But the bigger 30 is that there are not many left. In the 1980s， the number dropped to just 1，114.
But here’s some good news. The number of pandas is becoming larger and larger. 31 the IUCN， the latest research shows there are about 1，864 pandas in the wild in China.

Eating well
Pandas sometimes eat small animals and fish， but bamboo takes up 99 percent of their diet. And these guys are big eaters！ A panda needs 10 to 18 kg of 33 a day.
In 1958， China set up the first panda reserve（保护区）. Now there are 67 of them. People have planted lots of bamboo there so that pandas can have enough fresh food.
Remembering to be gentle（温和的）
Baby pandas are only 15 cm long—that is as long as a pencil！ They can’t see anything when they are born， and only open their 34 six to eight weeks after birth. So researchers need to 35 them well in labs.
When pandas grow big enough， researchers return them to the wild.But researchers try not to trouble other pandas’ lives. When they get close to wild pandas， they dress up 36 pandas.
Saying hello to the world
China has also welcomed international organiza－
tions（组织） wishing to 37 pandas. The most famous visit was in 1980 by the World Wildlife Fund（WWF）.
Its logo is the panda， so it makes the panda 38 worldwide.
China also sends pandas to other countries as special “ambassadors（大使）”. The money that foreign zoos pay also helps with our work to save pandas.

They usually use the sounds to ask for help.
African elephants are the largest kind of elephants and can weigh up to 8，000 kilograms. Asian elephants are quite different from their African cousins.

The park is especially for two kinds of animals—the Amur leopard and the Siberian tiger（远东豹和西伯利亚虎）.

守护自然的伙伴：保护濒危野生动物迫在眉睫·Animals are people’s friends. But many wild animals are in danger， because the environment where they are living has changed greatly. For example， their living areas have become smaller and smaller because of pollution and the development of cities. They have no room to live in except the zoo. And many wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time， some people are killing animals just for their fur， teeth and meat.
People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals. We should set up some nature reserves so that animals can live freely. And people shouldn’t be allowed to kill the endangered animals. We should also do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air， clean water and green grass are all important to animals. The extinction（灭绝） of the endangered animals will bring a disaster to human beings.

n Gastonia， North Carolina， there is a heartwarming story about a dog named Bo. The 18－month-old police dog won the 2024 American Humane Hero Dog Awards， and he’s made quite a name for himself.
Bo worked with Sergeant（警佐） David Rowland， and together they became local heroes. Bo’s super sense of smell helps him find missing people and catch criminals（罪犯）. Since joining the force（警队） in October 2023， Bo has done some remarkable things.
He found a lost old man with memory problems and a young boy with autism（孤独症）. In a tricky case， Bo can sniff（嗅） out a robbery suspect even when there are lots of other smells around. As Roland likes to say， this shows how great a hound’s nose is.
On a cold January night in 2024， Bo tracked down an elderly patient who had gone missing for miles across the rugged landscape. Everyone was happy when Bo found him. In May 2024， Bo again bravely found a kidnapped seven-year-old child and brought him back safely.
For these great deeds（行动）， Bo was celebrated at the 14th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards in Palm Beach， Florida， on November 8， 2024.
Sergeant Rowland said，“I don’t think we’re going to win. I’m so happy to be with Bo…Share our story and all that Bo has done.”
（ ）1.What award has Bo won for his heroic actions？
A.The Presidential Medal of Freedom
B.The Nobel Peace Prize
C.The Purple Heart
D.The American Humane Hero Dog Awards
（ ）2.What did Sergeant Rowland say about winning the award？

B.He doesn’t think Bo deserves the award.
C.He is surprised and happy to share Bo’s story.
D.He believes there are more deserving dogs.

兔子长耳的秘密：听觉与体温调节的奇妙适应·（2024临夏中考）When it comes to rabbits， we always think of their long ears. But do you know 22. why they have such long ears？
With their long ears， rabbits can 23. pick up sounds from up to three kilometers away. Most rabbits can move their ears in two different directions. Each ear can turn up to 270 degrees. This 24. helps them to hear the sounds from all directions. For 25. example ， when they hear the sounds of a wolf coming， the rabbits can 26. quickly run away.
Another reason why rabbits have long ears is for controlling 27. their body temperature. Rabbits have many blood vessels（血管） in their long 28. ears . When a rabbit feels hot， the blood vessels will become greater 29. in size. This allows more blood to move to its ears. As air blows over， it makes the blood cool down. Then the cool blood moves to other parts of the body 30. so that it feels comfortable. However， less blood moves to the rabbit’s ears on 31. cold days. This helps to keep the heat.

守护东北虎：森林之王的生存与保护·There are many kinds of tigers all over the world， and the largest tiger is the Northeast Tiger. Most Northeast Tigers live in the northeast of China， like Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. Because there are many forests and mountains， the tigers usually like living there. In the forests and mountains， there are fewer people getting out and coming in. So the tigers are very free. They can run after each other， catch and eat some small animals， like rabbits and deer.
The Northeast Tigers are different from the ordinary tigers. For example， the Northeast Tigers can swim very well， but can’t climb the trees. The Northeast Tigers’ hearing is the best， and no matter how low the sound is， they can hear it.
As the number of the tigers becomes smaller and smaller， we should protect the tigers as well as we can from now on.

黑白精灵的复兴之路：熊猫保护的成功故事·（2024安阳期末）Pandas are like the superstars of the animal world.If a panda is born， 29 a panda gets sick， the whole world will know it.
Why？ Because they are cute. But the bigger 30 is that there are not many left. In the 1980s， the number dropped to just 1，114.
But here’s some good news. The number of pandas is becoming larger and larger. 31 the IUCN， the latest research shows there are about 1，864 pandas in the wild in China.
32 has China done it？ Let’s take a look.
Eating well
Pandas sometimes eat small animals and fish， but bamboo takes up 99 percent of their diet. And these guys are big eaters！ A panda needs 10 to 18 kg of 33 a day.
In 1958， China set up the first panda reserve（保护区）. Now there are 67 of them. People have planted lots of bamboo there so that pandas can have enough fresh food.
Remembering to be gentle（温和的）
Baby pandas are only 15 cm long—that is as long as a pencil！ They can’t see anything when they are born， and only open their 34 six to eight weeks after birth. So researchers need to 35 them well in labs.
When pandas grow big enough， researchers return them to the wild.But researchers try not to trouble other pandas’ lives. When they get close to wild pandas， they dress up 36 pandas.
Saying hello to the world
China has also welcomed international organiza－
tions（组织） wishing to 37 pandas. The most famous visit was in 1980 by the World Wildlife Fund（WWF）.
Its logo is the panda， so it makes the panda 38 worldwide.
China also sends pandas to other countries as special “ambassadors（大使）”. The money that foreign zoos pay also helps with our work to save pandas.

陆地巨兽：非洲象与亚洲象的奇妙世界·（2024银川期末）Elephants are the world’s largest animals living on land. There are about 15 kinds of elephants living in the world. The African elephants and the Asian elephants are two main kinds of them. The African elephants are usually 2.5－4 metres tall. The Asian elephants are usually 2－3 metres tall. Elephants use their noses to collect food and drink water. They can make different kinds of sounds. These sounds can travel kilometres and reach other elephants. They usually use the sounds to ask for help.
African elephants are the largest kind of elephants and can weigh up to 8，000 kilograms. Asian elephants are quite different from their African cousins.

For example， their living areas have become smaller and smaller because of pollution and the development of cities. They have no room to live in except the zoo. And many wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time， some people are killing animals just for their fur， teeth and meat.
People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals. We should set up some nature reserves so that animals can live freely. And people shouldn’t be allowed to kill the endangered animals. We should also do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air， clean water and green grass are all important to animals.

South China Tigers live in the south of China. They have round heads and short ears. Their arms are very strong. Each South China Tiger weighs about 180 to 230 kilograms， and is 1.6 to 2.9 metres long. They live in the forest. They mainly eat other animals. They can walk more than 50 kilometres a night.
Their fur can be used to make expensive coats and their blood can be made into medicine. For this reason， many people kill them to make more money， and they become endangered.
Now the government are building more and more natural reserves to protect them. I think people should stop killing them and we should try our best to help them.

n Gastonia， North Carolina， there is a heartwarming story about a dog named Bo. The 18－month-old police dog won the 2024 American Humane Hero Dog Awards， and he’s made quite a name for himself.
Bo worked with Sergeant（警佐） David Rowland， and together they became local heroes. Bo’s super sense of smell helps him find missing people and catch criminals（罪犯）. Since joining the force（警队） in October 2023， Bo has done some remarkable things.
He found a lost old man with memory problems and a young boy with autism（孤独症）. In a tricky case， Bo can sniff（嗅） out a robbery suspect even when there are lots of other smells around. As Roland likes to say， this shows how great a hound’s nose is.
On a cold January night in 2024， Bo tracked down an elderly patient who had gone missing for miles across the rugged landscape. Everyone was happy when Bo found him. In May 2024， Bo again bravely found a kidnapped seven-year-old child and brought him back safely.
For these great deeds（行动）， Bo was celebrated at the 14th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards in Palm Beach， Florida， on November 8， 2024.
Sergeant Rowland said，“I don’t think we’re going to win. I’m so happy to be with Bo…Share our story and all that Bo has done.”
（ D ）1.What award has Bo won for his heroic actions？
A.The Presidential Medal of Freedom
B.The Nobel Peace Prize
C.The Purple Heart
D.The American Humane Hero Dog Awards
（ C ）2.What did Sergeant Rowland say about winning the award？
A.He expected to win.
B.He doesn’t think Bo deserves the award.
C.He is surprised and happy to share Bo’s story.
D.He believes there are more deserving dogs.
