The Wild Within
城中的野生动物
The crime took place in a seaside suburb of Cape Town.
这起犯罪事件发生在开普敦的一个海滨郊区。
Spotting the car with its window left open, the greedy thief didn't hesitate.
发现那辆车窗开着的车，这个贪婪的小偷没有丝毫犹豫。
Within seconds, he had reached inside and run away with a bag of shopping.
在几秒钟之内，他伸手进去，拿着一个购物袋跑了。
No matter how many crimes he committed, the police were powerless to arrest him.
不管他犯了多少次罪，警察都无力逮捕他。
词句自测

You see, this was no ordinary criminal: it was a chacma baboon.
要知道，这可不是普通的罪犯：它是一只大狒狒。
Once almost unheard of, scenes like this one in Cape Town are now common all over the world.
像在开普敦发生的这样的场景，之前几乎闻所未闻，现在在世界各地都很常见。
With foxes in London, mountain lions in San Francisco and wild pigs in Hong Kong, it is almost as if our cities are being taken over by wild animals.
随着伦敦出现狐狸，旧金山出现美洲狮，香港出现野猪，似乎我们的城市正逐渐被野生动物占据。
词句自测
⑦chacma__baboon 南非大狒，大狒狒
⑧fox n. 狐狸
⑨“主(it)系(is)表(as if our cities ... animals)”。With foxes ... in Hong Kong为with的复合结构“with＋名词＋介词短语”，作状语；as if意为“似乎，好像”，引导表语从句，结构为“主(our cities)谓(are being taken over)”。
People often wonder about the reasons behind this mass urban migration.
人们时常好奇这种大规模城市迁徙现象背后的原因。
Most of us would assume that urban development and climate change are responsible for pushing the animals out of their natural habitats.
我们大多数人都会认为，城市发展和气候变化是将动物赶出其自然栖息地的原因。
However true this is, we also need to consider that some of these so called “urban animals” have never moved at all—it's we humans who have moved into their territory.
不管这是多么真实，我们也需要考虑到，这些所谓的“城市动物”中的一些根本没有迁徙过——是我们人类搬到了它们的领地里。
Wherever they go, animals find towns and cities in their way.
不论它们走到哪里，都会发现城镇挡住了它们的去路。
With nowhere else to make their homes, they have no choice but to move in with us.
由于没有别处可以安家，它们别无选择，只好搬来和我们一起住。
词句自测
⑩urban adj. 城镇的，城市的
“让步状语从句(However true this is)＋主句(we need to consider ...)。”that引导宾语从句；破折号起解释、说明的作用；it's we humans who ... territory是强调句型，强调we humans。
Yet, for its newest and wildest inhabitants, a city can offer many benefits.
然而，对于这些最新和最野生的栖息动物来说，城市可以提供许多好处。
As our cities become greener, they offer increasingly appealing spaces to animals looking for new habitats.
随着我们的城市绿化越来越好，它们为寻找新栖息地的动物提供了越来越有吸引力的空间。
Out of reach from many of their natural predators, these newcomers often flourish in their new city lives.
由于远离自然界中的许多天敌，这些新来者往往在新的城市生活中茁壮成长。
Today, foxes can be seen all over London—one even being found living on the 72nd floor of the Shard building when it was under construction!
今天，在伦敦的各个地方都能看到狐狸——有一只甚至在夏德大厦建造期间被发现住在72层！
What's more, hungry animals are finding plenty to eat in our gardens and in the leftovers we throw away.
更重要的是，饥饿的动物们在我们的花园里和我们丢弃的剩菜中找到了大量可以吃的东西。
词句自测
predator n. 掠食动物，捕食性动物
newcomer n. 新来者
flourish v. 生长茂盛；兴盛
“时间状语从句(As our cities become greener)＋主句(they offer ... habitats)”。现在分词短语looking for new habitats作animals的后置定语。
One thing crucial to the increasing number of “urban animals” is their ability to adapt.
对于越来越多的“城市动物”来说，适应能力至关重要。
There is evidence that urban racoons are more intelligent than their wild cousins, as they frequently have to figure out difficult problems such as how to open rubbish bins and other containers which they would not find in the wild.
有证据表明，城市浣熊比野生浣熊更聪明，因为它们经常要解决一些难题，比如如何打开垃圾箱和其他它们在野外找不到的容器。
词句自测
racoon n. 浣熊
container n. 容器
“谓语(There is)＋主语(evidence)＋原因状语从句(as they ... in the wild)”。此句是there be倒装结构； that引导同位语从句，解释说明evidence。which引导定语从句，修饰rubbish bins and other containers。
Some animals have even changed their living habits to fit in with their new homes.
一些动物甚至改变了它们的生活习惯以适应新的家园。
Although naturally active at night, urban foxes come out in daylight if the reward is good enough.
虽然天生在夜间活动，但城市里的狐狸如果回报足够丰厚，也会在白天出来。
Their city location also means that they are getting a taste for the multicultural cuisine on offer from the garbage, such as hamburgers, lamb kebabs and even garlic bread!
它们的城市位置也意味着它们可以品尝到垃圾中提供的多元文化美食，比如汉堡包、羊肉串甚至大蒜面包！
词句自测
garbage n. 垃圾
lamb n. 羔羊肉
kebab n. 烤(肉)串
garlic n. (大)蒜
“状语从句(Although ... at night)＋主句(urban foxes ... enough)”。其中Although ... at night是让步状语从句的省略，其完整句子为Although urban__foxes__are naturally active at night；if 引导条件状语从句。
For those animals that don't adapt, the city can be a dangerous or even deadly place.
对无法适应环境的动物来说，城市是个危险甚至致命的地方。
Unable to distinguish between blue sky and glass, birds crash into windows at speeds of about 50 kilometres per hour.
由于无法区分蓝天和玻璃，鸟儿以大约每小时50千米的速度撞向窗户。
Recent studies estimate that between 400 million and 1 billion birds die from window impacts each year in the US alone.
最近的研究估计，仅在美国，每年就有4亿到10亿只鸟死于窗户撞击。
词句自测
estimate v. 估计，估算
Shockingly, these deaths amount to around ten per cent of the total US bird population.
令人震惊的是，这些死亡数量约占美国鸟类总数量的10%。
Some species are more affected than others.
有些物种比其他物种受影响更大。
One theory behind this is that these birds have yet to change their migratory routes that take them through cities with high rise buildings.
这背后的一个理论是，这些鸟类尚未调整其迁徙路线，以避免穿过有高楼大厦的城市。
词句自测
migratory adj. 迁徙的
However they adapt to our ways of urban living, it's important that we get a better understanding of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbours.
无论它们如何适应我们的城市生活方式，重要的是我们要更好地了解甚至学会欣赏我们的野生邻居。
Only then can we look towards harmoniously sharing our urban habitats.
只有那时，我们才能期待(与它们)和谐共享城市栖息地。
Whatever the reasons behind these species entering our cities, one thing is for sure—as it's often a means of their survival, they could be with us to stay.
不管这些物种进入我们城市的原因是什么，有一件事是肯定的——因为这通常是它们生存的一种手段，它们可能会一直与我们共存。
词句自测
appreciate v. 欣赏；赏识
“Only＋状语(then)＋情态动词(can)＋主(we)＋谓(look towards)”。本句为“only＋状语”置于句首引起的部分倒装。

A kind man, Keith Walker, who was 53 years old, kept his own pitbull called Bravo at the W Underdogs center (an animal shelter) overnight and was on his way to pick him up when he saw the flames on December 18.
He didn't just rescue his own pet, but he made sure that all the animals were safe. He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie.” However, Keith suddenly remembered that his father once said humans had a duty to protect animals. So he said, “My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs.”
Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.
She said, “Keith is my guardian angel. Even the firefighters didn't know how to handle the animals. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe.”
Keith, who has been homeless since he was 13, has now been regarded as a hero after saving the six dogs and ten cats. Well wishers have raised almost $40，000 for him on GoFundMe, a fundraising platform.
In a separate fundraiser for the shelter itself to rebuild after the fire, Gracie said, “Keith worked tirelessly to bring our animals to safety. Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了53岁无家可归的Keith Walker (基思·沃克)救了一家着火的收容所里的动物，他的善举也得到了奖励。

2．What damage did the fire bring about
A．Some firefighters were badly injured.
B．The animals lost their shelter.
C．Some cats disappeared.

3．Why is Gracie going to contact Keith again
A．To reward him for what he did.
B．To raise money for him.
C．To offer him a good job.
D．To rebuild a home for him.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although he refused ... rewarded for his selfless efforts.(尽管他拒绝了所有的帮助，但我们还是决定再次和他联系。他是我们社区重要的组成部分，他的无私努力应该得到适当的奖励。)”可知，Gracie再次联系Keith是为了奖励他的善举。故选A。
4．Which of the following can best describe Keith
A．Ambitious and helpful.
B．Determined and modest.
C．Honest and brave.
D．Generous and calm.
答案：C

Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we'd documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn't feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it's vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That's possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We__enter__Earth's__oceans__on__their__terms,__not__our__own.

解析：推理判断题。最后一段中的“The crocodile is an ... toward that curious crocodile.”强调我们要维持生态旅游、探索和生态保护三者之间的平衡。由前文可知，作者和妻子对鳄鱼持尊重态度，由此可推知，画线句呼吁我们在探索自然时也要对自然秉承相同尊重的态度。故选B。
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．A Narrow Escape
B.A Risky Job
C．An Underwater Assignment
D.A Chance Meeting
答案：D
解析：标题判断题。文章讲述了作者和妻子重返伊丽莎白女王国家公园查看生态环境的变化，并偶遇了一只鳄鱼。通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触，作者呼吁我们尊重自然。由此可知，D项(一次偶遇)最适合作为本文标题。故选D。

Good morning, everyone!
I'm very glad to give a speech today. The topic of my speech is “Protect Wild Animals”．
As we all know, animals also play a part in keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately they are being over hunted, and some of them are dying out. So it is urgent to take some measures to protect them. First, we must build nature reserves. Second, we should raise our awareness of environmental protection. To harm animals is to harm ourselves. Therefore, let's take the responsibility and do what we can to protect them. I hope in the future we can live harmoniously and happily together with animals.
Thank you!

People often wonder about the reasons behind this mass urban migration.
人们时常好奇这种大规模城市迁徙现象背后的原因。
Most of us would assume that urban development and climate change are responsible for pushing the animals out of their natural habitats.
我们大多数人都会认为，城市发展和气候变化是将动物赶出其自然栖息地的原因。
However true this is, we also need to consider that some of these so called “urban animals” have never moved at all—it's we humans who have moved into their territory.
不管这是多么真实，我们也需要考虑到，这些所谓的“城市动物”中的一些根本没有迁徙过——是我们人类搬到了它们的领地里。
Wherever they go, animals find towns and cities in their way.
不论它们走到哪里，都会发现城镇挡住了它们的去路。

A kind man, Keith Walker, who was 53 years old, kept his own pitbull called Bravo at the W Underdogs center (an animal shelter) overnight and was on his way to pick him up when he saw the flames on December 18.
He didn't just rescue his own pet, but he made sure that all the animals were safe. He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie.” However, Keith suddenly remembered that his father once said humans had a duty to protect animals. So he said, “My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs.”
Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.
She said, “Keith is my guardian angel. Even the firefighters didn't know how to handle the animals. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe.”
Keith, who has been homeless since he was 13, has now been regarded as a hero after saving the six dogs and ten cats. Well wishers have raised almost $40，000 for him on GoFundMe, a fundraising platform.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了53岁无家可归的Keith Walker (基思·沃克)救了一家着火的收容所里的动物，他的善举也得到了奖励。
In a separate fundraiser for the shelter itself to rebuild after the fire, Gracie said, “Keith worked tirelessly to bring our animals to safety. Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts.”
1．What did Keith do at the first sight of the fire
A．He waited for help.
B．He turned to his father.
C．He protected his own pets.
D．He hesitated for a moment.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He said, ‘I was nervous ... I am not going to lie.’(他说：‘一开始我很紧张，不瞒你说我真的很害怕冒着浓烟进去。’)”可知，Keith一开始看到着火应是犹豫了一会儿。故选D。
2．What damage did the fire bring about
A．Some firefighters were badly injured.
B．The animals lost their shelter.
C．Some cats disappeared.
D．Keith lost his pitbull.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that ... which was electrical.(收容所的创建者Gracie Hamlin (格雷西·哈姆林)说，由于火灾是电引起的，所以收容所无法居住。)”可知，火灾让动物失去了它们的庇护所。故选B。
3．Why is Gracie going to contact Keith again
A．To reward him for what he did.
B．To raise money for him.
C．To offer him a good job.
D．To rebuild a home for him.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although he refused ... rewarded for his selfless efforts.(尽管他拒绝了所有的帮助，但我们还是决定再次和他联系。他是我们社区重要的组成部分，他的无私努力应该得到适当的奖励。)”可知，Gracie再次联系Keith是为了奖励他的善举。故选A。
4．Which of the following can best describe Keith
A．Ambitious and helpful.
B．Determined and modest.
C．Honest and brave.
D．Generous and calm.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He said, ‘I was nervous ... I am not going to lie.’”和倒数第二段中的“Keith, who has been homeless since he was ... ten cats.(Keith从13岁起就无家可归，在拯救了6只狗和10只猫后，他现在被视为英雄。)”可推知，Keith是个诚实且勇敢的人。故选C。

Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we'd documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn't feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it's vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That's possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We__enter__Earth's__oceans__on__their__terms,__not__our__own.

Good morning, everyone!
I'm very glad to give a speech today. The topic of my speech is “Protect Wild Animals”．
As we all know, animals also play a part in keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately they are being over hunted, and some of them are dying out. So it is urgent to take some measures to protect them. First, we must build nature reserves. Second, we should raise our awareness of environmental protection. To harm animals is to harm ourselves. Therefore, let's take the responsibility and do what we can to protect them. I hope in the future we can live harmoniously and happily together with animals.
Thank you!
