2.A 上文“At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out by 2000.”提到科学家曾预测木鹳将在2000年完全灭绝,结合下文“The Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting (移除) of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back ”可知,木鹳的数量增加,the Fish and Wildlife Service提议将其从濒危物种名单中移除,A项“今天,它有1万对配偶。”符合语境。故选A。
3.C 上一段末“So how did the population bounce back ”提出问题:木鹳的数量是如何增长的 根据本段内容“The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia, as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.”可知,本段是做出回答,鹳群因迁徙搬到了更安全的湿地,数量才得以增加,C项“这一成功在一定程度上要归功于木鹳的灵活性。”符合语境。故选C。
4.D 根据上文“The act saved the wood stork.”和下文“It has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.”可知,此处是讲述《濒危物种法》对木鹳的积极影响,D项“它帮助保护和重建了整个东南部的重要栖息地。”符合语境。故选D。

Australia is proud of a unique history that has been shaped by the diversity of her inhabitants. The three main elements that have been central to the creation of Australia’s population composition are the diversity of her native population, colonization by the British in the past and the extensive immigration from diverse cultures.
Australia is home to the world’s cultures and inhabitants who can identify with more than 270 ancestries (祖先). From the year 1945, the number of people who have immigrated to Australia from different parts of the globe is approximately seven million. The country considers the rich cultural diversity as its main strength which embodies its national identity.
In 1975, there was the racial discrimination (歧视) act, which meant that discrimination in the country was against the law. Later in 1995, the act was extended to ensure that any acts of racial hatred (仇恨) were against the law. To date, the act has been used in ensuring that Australia sends a strong message on the collective commitment to promoting racial equality and the significance of fairness for all.
On a range of measures, Australia is a multicultural success story. On educational attainments, studies show that children of immigrants in Australia get better average results than children of native-born Australians. This is significant because according to research conducted by the OECD, the successful integration of immigrant students is an important indicator of a country’s success in its education system and equity and broader socially combinative policies.
The success in educational performance is mirrored in the broader economy of Australia as it attracts a significant proportion of skilled migrants annually who have a high labour market participation rate. In the year between 2016—2017, skilled migrants accounted for 67.3 percent of the total immigration programme outcome that year. The net effect of a multiculturalism policy for Australia has been a brain gain for Australia and this is expected to continue growing.
( )1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A.The history of Australia.
B.The customs of Australia.
C.The character of Australians.
D.The population structure of Australia.
( )2. What does the underlined word “embodies” in Paragraph 2 mean

C.Assesses. D.Predicts.
( )3. From which can we see Australia’s success in education
A.The higher educational standards.
B.The better overall grades of students.
C.The increasing number of immigrant children.
D.The better performance of immigrant children.
( )4. In which aspect does educational success benefit Australia

D.Making a booming labour market.

Many animal populations seem to be decreasing sharply. 1. It is America’s native wood stork (木鹳).
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population dropped to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out by 2000. 2. The Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting (移除) of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back
3. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia, as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork. 4. It has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.”
The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 percent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again. If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws. 5.
A.Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs.
B.However, one species is moving in the opposite direction.
C.The success is in part down to the flexibility of the wood stork.
D.It helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast.
E.The birds have adapted to new nesting areas and enlarged their colonies.
F.It serves as an indicator species for restoration of the Everglades ecosystem.
G.A monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.

colonization by the British in the past and the extensive
immigration from diverse cultures.

Australia is home to the world's cultures and inhabitants
who can identify with more than 270 ancestries (祖先). From the
year 1945, the number of people who have immigrated to
Australia from different parts of the globe is approximately
seven million. The country considers the rich cultural diversity as
its main strength which embodies its national identity.
In 1975, there was the racial discrimination (歧视) act, which
meant that discrimination in the country was against the law.

racial hatred (仇恨) were against the law. To date, the act has

of immigrant students is an important indicator of a country's
success in its education system and equity and broader socially

The success in educational performance is mirrored in the
broader economy of Australia as it attracts a significant
proportion of skilled migrants annually who have a high labour
market participation rate. In the year between 2016—2017,
skilled migrants accounted for 67.3 percent of the total
immigration programme outcome that year. The net effect of a
multiculturalism policy for Australia has been a brain gain for
Australia and this is expected to continue growing.

The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North

its population dropped to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time,
scientists predicted that the bird would be completely wiped out
by 2000. 2.___ The Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a
delisting (移除) of the wood stork as an endangered species. So
how did the population bounce back

3.___ The wood stork's native home was in the Everglades
in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being
destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah Coastal
Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia,
as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at
the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is
also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the
wood stork. 4.___ It has improved water quality and benefited
countless other species who call the area home.”
