As a child,Danielle Belleny’s love for nature led her to wildlife biology.Growing up,Danielle Belleny was always outdoors,picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own.She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology,but that’s what she was learning about.She wanted to be a vet,a person who can treat sick or injured animals,at first.She said,“I always knew I wanted to work with animals,and as a kid,that was the only job I knew where I could do that.” But when Belleny was in college,her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary(兽医学).
Later,Belleny started working on research projects.One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite.For another,she spent time feeding goats,as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny’s current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors.It also lets her work with people.“In the mornings,I’m usually out the door before sunrise,” she says.She observes birds,keeping track of different species.And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing.Around lunchtime,she’ll return home and write up a report.In the afternoon,she leaves for another site visit.She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm.Her work takes her all around Texas.
Outside of work,young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years.Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May,2022.Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding,which is scheduled to come out in 2024.Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers.“Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries.If you’re into wildlife biology,go to a library and find some field guides.After learning much information,you can do research work more easily”.

Wood stork,which was on the brink of extinction in 1984,has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states.The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl(水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species,which is the only stork native to North America,has rebounded(反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it.In addition,the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas.The birds have adapted to new nesting areas,tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA),which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are,located,such as development,mining and oil drilling.The act saved the wood stork and it helped;preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast,which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973,with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat,especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve,led to a,sharp increase in breeding pairs.Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984,whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable,achievement of the hard work by federal agencies,state and local governments,tribes,conservation organizations,and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted,officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act.A monitoring plan,would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
28.What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A.Its population is increasing. B.It has already died out.
C.It is widely distributed worldwide. D.It is the most endangered species.
29.What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A.Charity organizations. B.Federal agencies.
C.Protections of the ESA. D.Local companies.
30.What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A.Negative. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Positive.
31.What is the best title of the text
A.Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B.Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C.Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D.Protection of American Native Species Works

One year after WildAid started its new program to protect ocean wildlife in China,Chinese world-famous pianist Lang Lang has joined the latest public campaign(运动),“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” on Friday.
The campaign video public service announcement (PSA) impressed the public with Lang Lang playing his song Stay,greatly calling attention to the beauty and importance of protecting the marine life in China’s waters such as whale sharks,sea turtles,dolphins and spotted seals.
A new series of messages calls on the public to help protect marine biodiversity(生物多样性) by supporting marine protected areas (MPAs) and the protection of ocean wildlife.The campaign video PSA and billboards,which will be displayed across China,were released(发布) at a Beijing press event hosted by WildAid,with China Green Carbon Foundation and the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources (FIO) as key partners.
Ranked among “the world’s 100 most influential people” by Time magazine,Lang Lang has served as WildAid ambassador for more than 12 years,and contributed to protecting endangered wildlife and nature.Speaking at the event he said,“we can all play our part in protecting our oceans by taking simple steps,such as refusing to eat endangered wildlife such as sea turtles,reporting illegal wildlife trade,and reducing the use of single-use plastics.”

Lang Lang joined this campaign following a survey report conducted by WildAid and FIO that discusses public awareness of MPAs and marine biodiversity in China.
The report finds that more than 80% of the survey takers believe that MPAs are very important,but their understanding of the functions of MPAs is low.More than half do not know the term “marine biodiversity” and have not received enough information about marine protection.
“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” campaign PSA and billboards will be given out at outdoor places across China,reaching millions of viewers.

To fully appreciate Australian cuisine,you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography.For one thing,there are the wide plains in the interior of the country,which are home to millions of grazing animals.For another,there is Australia’s long coastline,which is next to all the riches of the sea. 36
One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent:kangaroo.This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia.However,in recent years,kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million.These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities,making trouble. 37 As a consequence,the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food,and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table.As for seafood,many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. 38 Since the coastline is so long,each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then,how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. 39 It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun.Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat,a cold drink,and something off the grill.
40 As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations,Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe.No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you,you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia.
A.Australia is made up of many regions.
B.Beyond this,what is Australian cooking
C.Casual friendliness is the key to such meals.
D.People need to pay attention to the protection of kangaroos.
E.Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife.
F.Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast.
G.It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.

The 1980s and 1990s were 46 times for the antelopes.Their population dropped sharply.Hunters shot them to make a 47 .Their habitats(栖息地) became smaller and smaller as new roads and railways were 48 .
To save Tibetan antelopes,the Chinese government placed them under national protection.Zhaxi and other 49 watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them from being killed.Gates and 50 were added to let the antelopes move 51 and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.Their population has 52 .The government, 53 ,does not intend to stop the protection programs,since the threats(威胁) to them have not yet disappeared.
In the evening,I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars.I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me.Much is being done to protect wildlife,but if we really want to save the 54 ,we must 55 our way of life.Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet(星球).

Standing at the lake’s edge,I threw my line onto the smooth-as-glass water of Police Outpost Lake,lost in my own thoughts.
I’d learned to fish from my dad.He had taught me to fish alone,in silence.He had been a fish and wildlife officer with great passion for his job,especially the part where he protected nature from humans.He had showed me everything I knew about fishing.Then,he passed away.
My brother Isaiah shouted,“where should I stand ”
“Be quiet or else we won’t catch any fish,” I whispered.
Isaiah frowned,sighing,but it was “message received”.
Pulling back on my fish pole,looking into the light of the sun,I caught sight of a few great northern loons(潜鸟) gathered together not far from the shoreline.What were they doing there Loons usually travel alone,but here were five of them in a group.Maybe it was a family One loon,crying in sorrow,swam away from the group,towards me.
“Isaiah!Come here!Take a look at that loon.It’s swimming towards us,getting closer and closer.”
“It’s only a decoy(诱饵),” said Isaiah.“Look at that beak(喙)!It could easily stick us to death with that thing!It could tear our faces!Pull out our eyes!”
Just then,the loon let out crazy laughing sound.
“It’s not a decoy!It’s trying to get our attention,” I said.
The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore,not ten feet away from us.It was so close that we could see its small red eyes.
Oddly,the bird’s wings were held against its spotted black-and-white body.Walking into the water,getting closer to the loon,we both saw a thin wire surrounding its neck tightly.It was asking us to help!

Jim was surprised when his high school class traveled to England to learn about the life of William Shakespeare,one of England’s most famous writers.He knew Shakespeare was born in a small town,but until he visited his hometown,Jim couldn’t really imagine the place where Shakespeare spent his childhood.During his visit,Jim learned that Shakespeare’s father was a glove maker.He also helped the city government in his spare time so his son could go to school for free.Sadly,when Shakespeare was only 15,his father died while traveling back from Cambridge.He had to leave school and could not go to university.But the tour guide told Jim’s class that it was good that Shakespeare did not go to college.Nobody taught him how to write his plays,so he was free to write in a new way.His plays were different and interesting,and he became famous in London.Now his name is known all over the world.

第二节
Thinking of its dangerous beak,I was rooted to the spot.Taking a deep breath,I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself.Somehow I felt my dad’s presence,as if he was standing shoulder to shoulder with me.“Jacob,the bird won’t hurt you.It needs your help.I am here and will guide you through this.” My hands were shaking,but I bent down to pick up the loon.Taking it gingerly under its wings,I held it out at arm’s length,afraid that it might stab me with its beak.But the loon was silent and still.“Go grab the scissors from the tackle box.” Isaiah ran,splashing his way to shore.He came back with the tiny pair of scissors with which we cut away the fishing line from around the loon’s neck.
We put the loon on a rock gently,satisfied with what we did just now.I patted the loon’s head,a gesture of gratitude that it hadn’t used its beak as a weapon.After making sure no injury was on its body,I set it down on the water.Then,training its red eyes directly on us,it rose up,slapped its wings down hard on the surface of the lake and flew away with a beautiful singing.It seemed to be saying,“Thank you,boys.You saved me.I won’t soon forget.” “How did we do that ” Isaiah exclaimed with amazement.“I can’t believe it!I’m still shaking.” He continued.Looking at the shore where my father used to stand,I said:“Yeah,we did.But I couldn’t have done it without my dad.”

As a child,Danielle Belleny’s love for nature led her to wildlife biology.Growing up,Danielle Belleny was always outdoors,picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own.She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology,but that’s what she was learning about.She wanted to be a vet,a person who can treat sick or injured animals,at first.She said,“I always knew I wanted to work with animals,and as a kid,that was the only job I knew where I could do that.” But when Belleny was in college,her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary(兽医学).
Later,Belleny started working on research projects.One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite.For another,she spent time feeding goats,as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny’s current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors.It also lets her work with people.“In the mornings,I’m usually out the door before sunrise,” she says.She observes birds,keeping track of different species.And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing.Around lunchtime,she’ll return home and write up a report.In the afternoon,she leaves for another site visit.She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm.Her work takes her all around Texas.
Outside of work,young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years.Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May,2022.Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding,which is scheduled to come out in 2024.Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers.“Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries.If you’re into wildlife biology,go to a library and find some field guides.After learning much information,you can do research work more easily”.

Wood stork,which was on the brink of extinction in 1984,has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states.The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl(水禽) from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species,which is the only stork native to North America,has rebounded(反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it.In addition,the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas.The birds have adapted to new nesting areas,tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA),which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are,located,such as development,mining and oil drilling.The act saved the wood stork and it helped;preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast,which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973,with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat,especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve,led to a,sharp increase in breeding pairs.Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984,whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable,achievement of the hard work by federal agencies,state and local governments,tribes,conservation organizations,and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted,officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act.A monitoring plan,would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
28.What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A.Its population is increasing. B.It has already died out.
C.It is widely distributed worldwide. D.It is the most endangered species.
29.What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A.Charity organizations. B.Federal agencies.
C.Protections of the ESA. D.Local companies.
30.What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A.Negative. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Positive.
31.What is the best title of the text
A.Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts
B.Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses
C.Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off
D.Protection of American Native Species Works

One year after WildAid started its new program to protect ocean wildlife in China,Chinese world-famous pianist Lang Lang has joined the latest public campaign(运动),“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” on Friday.
The campaign video public service announcement (PSA) impressed the public with Lang Lang playing his song Stay,greatly calling attention to the beauty and importance of protecting the marine life in China’s waters such as whale sharks,sea turtles,dolphins and spotted seals.
A new series of messages calls on the public to help protect marine biodiversity(生物多样性) by supporting marine protected areas (MPAs) and the protection of ocean wildlife.The campaign video PSA and billboards,which will be displayed across China,were released(发布) at a Beijing press event hosted by WildAid,with China Green Carbon Foundation and the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources (FIO) as key partners.
Ranked among “the world’s 100 most influential people” by Time magazine,Lang Lang has served as WildAid ambassador for more than 12 years,and contributed to protecting endangered wildlife and nature.Speaking at the event he said,“we can all play our part in protecting our oceans by taking simple steps,such as refusing to eat endangered wildlife such as sea turtles,reporting illegal wildlife trade,and reducing the use of single-use plastics.”
WildAid also designed online activities for this campaign in which Lang Lang invites users to recreate his song Stay through the two most popular social platforms in China:Weibo and Tik Tok.
Lang Lang joined this campaign following a survey report conducted by WildAid and FIO that discusses public awareness of MPAs and marine biodiversity in China.
The report finds that more than 80% of the survey takers believe that MPAs are very important,but their understanding of the functions of MPAs is low.More than half do not know the term “marine biodiversity” and have not received enough information about marine protection.
“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” campaign PSA and billboards will be given out at outdoor places across China,reaching millions of viewers.

To fully appreciate Australian cuisine,you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography.For one thing,there are the wide plains in the interior of the country,which are home to millions of grazing animals.For another,there is Australia’s long coastline,which is next to all the riches of the sea. 36
One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent:kangaroo.This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia.However,in recent years,kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million.These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities,making trouble. 37 As a consequence,the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food,and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table.As for seafood,many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. 38 Since the coastline is so long,each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then,how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. 39 It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun.Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat,a cold drink,and something off the grill.
40 As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations,Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe.No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you,you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia.
A.Australia is made up of many regions.
B.Beyond this,what is Australian cooking
C.Casual friendliness is the key to such meals.
D.People need to pay attention to the protection of kangaroos.
E.Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife.
F.Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast.
G.It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.

Standing at the lake’s edge,I threw my line onto the smooth-as-glass water of Police Outpost Lake,lost in my own thoughts.
I’d learned to fish from my dad.He had taught me to fish alone,in silence.He had been a fish and wildlife officer with great passion for his job,especially the part where he protected nature from humans.He had showed me everything I knew about fishing.Then,he passed away.
My brother Isaiah shouted,“where should I stand ”
“Be quiet or else we won’t catch any fish,” I whispered.
Isaiah frowned,sighing,but it was “message received”.
Pulling back on my fish pole,looking into the light of the sun,I caught sight of a few great northern loons(潜鸟) gathered together not far from the shoreline.What were they doing there Loons usually travel alone,but here were five of them in a group.Maybe it was a family One loon,crying in sorrow,swam away from the group,towards me.
“Isaiah!Come here!Take a look at that loon.It’s swimming towards us,getting closer and closer.”
“It’s only a decoy(诱饵),” said Isaiah.“Look at that beak(喙)!It could easily stick us to death with that thing!It could tear our faces!Pull out our eyes!”
Just then,the loon let out crazy laughing sound.
“It’s not a decoy!It’s trying to get our attention,” I said.
The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore,not ten feet away from us.It was so close that we could see its small red eyes.
Oddly,the bird’s wings were held against its spotted black-and-white body.Walking into the water,getting closer to the loon,we both saw a thin wire surrounding its neck tightly.It was asking us to help!
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

第二节
Thinking of its dangerous beak,I was rooted to the spot.Taking a deep breath,I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself.Somehow I felt my dad’s presence,as if he was standing shoulder to shoulder with me.“Jacob,the bird won’t hurt you.It needs your help.I am here and will guide you through this.” My hands were shaking,but I bent down to pick up the loon.Taking it gingerly under its wings,I held it out at arm’s length,afraid that it might stab me with its beak.But the loon was silent and still.“Go grab the scissors from the tackle box.” Isaiah ran,splashing his way to shore.He came back with the tiny pair of scissors with which we cut away the fishing line from around the loon’s neck.
We put the loon on a rock gently,satisfied with what we did just now.I patted the loon’s head,a gesture of gratitude that it hadn’t used its beak as a weapon.After making sure no injury was on its body,I set it down on the water.Then,training its red eyes directly on us,it rose up,slapped its wings down hard on the surface of the lake and flew away with a beautiful singing.It seemed to be saying,“Thank you,boys.You saved me.I won’t soon forget.” “How did we do that ” Isaiah exclaimed with amazement.“I can’t believe it!I’m still shaking.” He continued.Looking at the shore where my father used to stand,I said:“Yeah,we did.But I couldn’t have done it without my dad.”
