Ⅰ.阅读理解【主题:人与自然 藏羚羊】
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a mountainous area in western China that sits about 4,000 metres above sea level.This beautiful natural environ-ment is made up of grassy lands,lakes and glaciers (冰川).Very few people live in the area,but it is home to many animals,including the endangered Tibetan antelope (藏羚羊).
Thousands of Tibetan antelopes once lived in this area,but their populations dropped in the 1980s and 1990s.This was in large part the result of poaching (偷猎).Poachers often killed Tibetan antelopes for their soft and highly prized wool.
Over recent decades,however,much has been done to protect these animals.The government has made it much more difficult for poachers to operate in the area by introducing strict laws.And in the spring,when thousands of Tibetan antelopes make a long journey to Hoh Xil,government workers follow the antelopes,making sure that they are protected from poachers and from other wild animals.
The government has also taken steps to slow down tourism in the area,since tourists often disturb the natural habitats of animals.
All of this work has had good results.Tibetan antelopes are enjoying much better conditions than before,and their populations are rising once again.Today there are more than 60,000 Tibetan antelopes in the area—and this number continues to grow every year.

Ⅱ.阅读表达【主题:人与自然 野生动物是否应该被投喂】
In the wild,wolves with broken legs often face an unlucky fate (命运),waiting for death.Yet,in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve (保护区) in Qinghai,one such wolf had a different fate.It grew from a poor and thin one to a fat and happy wolf because tourists in the area often fed it.
This “act of kindness” led people to ask:Should tourists feed the wolf Supporters argue that without feeding,the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself.But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with the natural order.Science,however,provides us with an answer.
Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected the lives of bottlenose dolphins (宽吻海豚) near Bunbury,Australia.Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre.After studying ten years’ data,the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those that found food themselves.This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets (网).
Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend on humans for food,warned Dai Qiang,a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.What’s more,sick animals may bring diseases to people who feed them.
So,if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help,what should we do Qi Xinzhang,the deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park,said that it’s best to report the animal to the authorities (官方机构) instead of just feeding it.
1.Where is the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve
2.Why do dolphins looking for food from boats have more possibilities to lose their lives
3.What may sick animals bring to people who feed them
4.In Qi Xinzhang’s opinion,what should we do if we want to help a wild animal
5.Do you think it’s a good idea for humans to feed wild animals Why or why not
Ⅲ.补全对话

A:2.
B:It’s about animals in danger.
A:Can you tell me more about it
B:3. It tells us something about wild animals.They don’t have enough places to live in or enough food to eat.
A:I’m sorry to hear that.Maybe we should do something to help them.
B:4. What about making a poster about protecting animals
A:Good idea.Let’s search for more information online.
B:5. Let’s go now.
