Unit 4 Wildlife Protection Section Ⅰ Warming amp;Reading Pre-reading
The old Elephant House at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. has been renovated (翻新) to include a lot more space for the giant animals to play, rest and even take a shower. It has been renamed the Elephant Community Center, and it also offers a lot more for human guests.
“It's a great place for elephants to socialize,” said Marie Galloway, who is the elephant manager at the zoo.
The community center is designed to hold as many as 10 elephants. Although the zoo plans to increase the herd (象群), there are now just three elephants: Ambika, Shanthi and Kandula.
Galloway said each animal reacted (作出反应) differently to the new space. Shanthi, 38 years old, walked right in and explored everywhere. Ambika, 65, was very cautious (谨慎的) the first day, not sure if the new space was safe. And Kandula, Shanthi's 11 year old son, had a funny way of dealing with the unknown. “He backed his way in,” Galloway said with a laugh.
“The elephants are already enjoying throwing sand on one another,” said Galloway.
People also have a lot more to do than in the old building, where they had few chances to learn about endangered species from Asia.
There's a display featuring one of Kandula's old toys: a 750 pound tire. Visitors can watch a video of him playing.
There are several other hands on activities, including a machine that compares elephant sounds and human voices. You also can make a promise to save the elephants.
Lastly, “protection” is the message zoo officials hope visitors will take away from the exhibition. “We're hoping people will come to ... and become educated,” Galloway said. “And take action to protect elephants.”
Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre reading
HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEDaisy had always longed to help① endangered species② of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet③ by her bed.“Where do you want to go?” it asked. Daisy responded④ immediately.“I'd like to see some endangered wildlife,” she said.“Please take me to a distant⑤ land where I can find the animal that gave fur⑥ to make this sweater.” At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad⑦. It said,“We're being killed for the wool beneath⑧ our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species.” At ⑨ that Daisy cried,“I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection⑩.” ①long vt.&vi.渴望;极想long to do sth.渴望做某事此句中had longed to do sth.是过去完成时形式,意为“早就渴望做某事”,发生在以下所讲故事之前,所以用过去完成时。②species/'spi i z/n.种类;物种(单复数同形)③carpet/'kɑ pIt/n.地毯④respond/rI'sp nd/vi.回答;响应;做出反应respond to sth.对某事做出反应⑤distant/'dIst nt/adj.远的;远处的⑥fur/fз /n.毛皮;毛;软毛where和that都引导的是定语从句;分别修饰land和animal。⑦saw an antelope ...为“感官动词+宾语+宾补”结构。⑧beneath prep.在下面,在底下(相当于under)⑨此处介词at表示“针对……做出反应”。⑩where引导定语从句,修饰先行词a place。
戴茜是如何学会帮助野生动植物的
[第1段译文]
戴茜一直都渴望帮助那些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。一天她醒来,发现床边有一块飞毯。飞毯问:“你想去哪儿?”戴茜立刻回答。“我想去看一些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。请带我到一个遥远的地方,在那里我可以找到为制作这件毛衣而提供皮毛的动物。”她说。飞毯立刻起飞了,带她到了西藏。在那里,戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。它说:“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛,我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛皮被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此,我们现在濒临灭绝了。”听了这话,戴茜哭了:“我很抱歉,我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我想知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。飞毯啊,请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去吧。”
The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe . Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. “Have you come to take my photo ?” it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter . “Don't laugh,” said the elephant, “We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy . They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife .” so ... that如此……以至于,that引导结果状语从句。 turn around转身;环顾;翻身 take one's photo=take a photo of sb.给某人拍照 in relief如释重负;松了口气(一般情况下作状语)relief/rI'li f/n.(痛苦或忧虑的)减轻或解除;减轻痛苦的事物 burst into laughter突然笑起来;大声笑了出来burst into+n.相当于burst out doing。laughter/'lɑ ft /n.笑;笑声 mercy/'mз sI/n.仁慈;宽恕;怜悯without mercy毫无怜悯地;无情地 certain/'sз tn/adj.确定的;某一;一定a certain number of一定(数)量的 So good things are being done ...是现在进行时的被动语态,表示现阶段正在发生的被动动作。
[第2段译文]
飞毯飞行得如此快,以至于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。戴茜转过身去,看到一头大象正望着她。大象问道:“你是来给我拍照的吗?”戴茜如释重负,突然笑了起来。“不要笑了,”大象说道,“我们过去是濒危动物,农民们残忍地捕杀我们。他们说,我们破坏了他们的农田,而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。于是政府决定出面提供帮助。如果游客付给农民钱的话,他们允许游客猎取一定数量的动物。如今农民高兴了,我们的数量也在增加。为了拯救当地的野生动植物,他们也在做一些好事。”
Daisy smiled, “That's good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests .”The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as itrubbed itself. “What are you doing?” asked Daisy. “I'm protecting myself frommosquitoes,” it replied. “When I find a millipedeinsect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs.”Daisy was amazed. “Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help.” The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone — the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF ... importance/Im'p tns/n.重要(性)(be) of great importance非常重要的 WWF (World Wildlife Fund)世界野生生物基金会as the WWF suggests是as引导的方式状语从句。rub/r b/vt.擦;摩擦protect ... from保护……不受……(危害)mosquito/m 'ski t /n.(pl.mosquitoes)蚊子millipede/'mIlIpi d/n.(=millepede)千足虫insect/'Insekt/n.昆虫contain/k n'teIn/vt.包含;容纳;容忍powerful/'pa fl/adj.强大的;有力的affect/ 'fekt/vt.影响;感动;侵袭(相当于have an effect on)pay attention to注意(to为介词)attention/ 'ten n/n.注意;关注;注意力appreciate/ 'pri IeIt/vt.鉴赏;感激;意识到amazed adj.吃惊的;惊愕的be amazed at对……感到吃惊 amazing adj.令人吃惊的begin doing sth.开始做某事land vi.&vt.(使)着陆;降落what an experience!“多么奇妙的一次经历!”是感叹句,是what an experience it is!的省略表达。
[第3~4段译文]
戴茜笑道:“那可是个好消息。这体现了野生动植物保护的重要性,不过,我想按照世界野生生物基金会的建议来帮助你们。”飞毯再次升起,几乎一转眼他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。一只猴子一边擦着身体,一边望着他们。戴茜问:“你在做什么呢?”它回答说:“我这样做可以防止蚊子叮咬。当我发现一种千足虫时,便把它擦在身上。它含有一种强效的药物,可以防止蚊子叮咬。你们应该多关注我生活的热带雨林,并且懂得热带雨林中的动物是如何在一起生活的。没有雨林,就没有动物,也就没有药物了。”,戴茜很惊讶。“飞毯,请带我回家去,我可以告诉世界野生生物基金会,我们可以开始生产这种新药。猴子,请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了,毯子飞回了家。当他们着地时,一切就开始消失了。两分钟后,什么都没了——猴子也没了。这样,戴茜就不能制造新药了。但是,这是一次多么奇妙的经历呀!她学到了那么多东西!而且,还一直有世界野生生物基金会……

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I lay in the hospital bed with my six year old daughter, Elizabeth, holding her in my arms. “Mommy, will you stay with me the whole time?” she asked, looking up. “You know I can't be in the operating room,” I said carefully, not wanting to frighten her. “But Daddy and I will be waiting right outside.” Elizabeth nodded, but her eyes looked troubled.
Elizabeth had broken her right leg in July. Seven months later, it still hadn't healed (康复). In fact, it had gotten worse. She was here in the hospital for surgery (手术).
I wanted to tell her that everything would be okay and promise that this would be the last time she'd have to go through this. But what if something went wrong again How could I comfort my daughter when I needed comfort myself
There was a knock at the door. A nurse I thought. Time to say goodbye already But the woman who came in wasn't a nurse. “Hi,” the woman said. “I'm a volunteer here, and I've got something for Elizabeth.” She handed a bright blue box to my daughter.
Elizabeth sat up and took the box. She opened it and started pulling out goodies one by one — candies, stickers, a lovely toy in the shape of a star. She hugged the star, perking_up for the first time since she entered the hospital. “Thank you,” she said. “I love them.” There was a big smile on her face. It had been so long since I saw that big smile.
The gift was a great comfort not only to my daughter, but also to me.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者的女儿在进手术室前有些紧张,这时一位陌生人送来一盒礼物,使女儿高兴起来。
1.Why did the author's daughter feel upset
A.She would have surgery on her arm.
B.The author had no time to play with her.
C.She had to stay in the hospital for a long time.
D.The author couldn't stay in the operating room.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘You know I can't be in the operating room,’ I said carefully, not wanting to frighten her.”可知,作者不能进入手术室,这使得女儿有些紧张。
2.The author didn't make any promise because ________.
A.there was no time for her to do so
B.she wasn't sure of the result herself
C.she believed everything would be okay
D.she thought there was no need for her to do so
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“But what if something went wrong again?”可知,作者没法给女儿许诺,因为她自己也不确定手术结果。
3.Why did the woman come in
A.To offer a gift.
B.To say goodbye.
C.To comfort the author.
D.To get all the things ready.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“I'm a volunteer ... to my daughter.”可知,这位妇女进来是为了送礼物。
4.The underlined part “perking up” means “________”.
A.having a rest     B.thinking carefully
C.doing her best D.becoming cheerful
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据下文“There was a big smile on her face.”可知,女儿很高兴。所以perk up意为:愉快、活跃起来。
B
Four animals — a wildcat, a mongoose, a mouse and an owl — had made their home in a huge tree.
The mouse and the mongoose lived at the foot of the tree in two different holes. The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.
The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing. The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it. The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.
One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter. Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped. They knew it was a hopeless task. Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever. The mouse's joy, however, was short lived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it. Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down. The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.
It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it. Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out. Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.
The mouse ran away too. It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.
语篇解读:野猫吃猫头鹰和猫鼬,三者都吃老鼠。野猫是猫头鹰和猫鼬的敌人,反而成了老鼠的“朋友”,救了老鼠的命。
5.The mouse lived in extreme fear every day because ________.
A.it lived at the foot of the tree
B.hunters set traps everywhere
C.all its three neighbours might eat it at any time
D.its food might be taken away by its neighbours
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句、第四段中猫鼬和猫头鹰对老鼠的虎视眈眈以及最后一段中老鼠将野猫放出来后自己也逃离了可知,这三个邻居都对老鼠有生命威胁,因此它每天都生活在极度恐慌之中。
6.Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three
A.The wildcat. B.The mouse.
C.The mongoose. D.The owl.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,野猫无所畏惧,四处乱逛;猫头鹰和猫鼬害怕野猫;老鼠害怕前三者。由此可知,在这四个邻居中,野猫最强势。
7.The mouse bit at the net to save the cat because ________.
A.they were good friends
B.they both hated the hunters
C.the mouse was too kind to see the cat die
D.the other two neighbours were to attack it
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句可知,野猫被困住之后,猫鼬和猫头鹰没有了天敌的威胁,于是准备攻击老鼠。老鼠意识到如果没有了野猫,自己面临的威胁更大,所以才救了野猫。
8.From the passage we can learn that the mouse is ________.
A.kind B.brave
C.clever D.stupid
解析:选C 推理判断题。老鼠救了猫来保全自己,但也不寄希望于猫会感谢自己,也逃跑了。由此可推知,老鼠是聪明的。
C
Seal Island is a 200 meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15 foot long, 3,000 pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”.
Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。作者向我们介绍了位于南非的Seal Island。在这个岛周边的水域大白鲨常常跳出水面猎食海豹,这一景象吸引了许多游客前去观看。
9.What probably makes Seal Island famous
A.The large number of seals in the water.
B.The way the great white sharks hunt.
C.The beautiful scenery of the island.
D.The special position of the island.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.”可知,大白鲨跳出水面捕食海豹是Seal Island闻名于世的主要原因。
10.Why do the seals swim in a zigzag pattern
A.To save energy. B.To warm themselves.
C.To look for food. D.To avoid the white sharks.
解析:选D 推理判断题。文章第三段列举了海豹躲避大白鲨的方法,其中一种方法就是在水里“之”字形游动。
11.We can infer from the third paragraph that ________.
A.white sharks are dangerous animals
B.the seals are cleverer than the white sharks
C.the sharks are successful in hunting the seals
D.it is easier for the sharks to hunt the seals on the sea floor
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知,几年来海豹虽然变聪明了,但它们还是难逃被大白鲨捕食的厄运,这说明大白鲨的捕食很成功。
12.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To explain why Seal Island is famous.
B.To show how white sharks hunt seals.
C.To advise us to visit Seal Island.
D.To ask us to protect animals.
解析:选A 写作意图题。通过文章第一段以及最后一段可知,这篇文章主要向我们介绍了Seal Island世界闻名的原因。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
I'm 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
Take care of your body.
Life is “unfairly” biased (偏向的) towards people who “look good”, like it or not. So it's important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. __1__ You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
__2__
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately, I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like TheMillionaireNextDoor. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
Think in the long term.
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I'm designing my life and I'm making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I'm in my 40's, 50's and 60's. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the “big picture”. __3__
Realize the power of focus.
Focus, focus, focus ... __4__ If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions (使人分心的事). __5__ Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical (极重要的) to their goals.
A.Save your money.
B.The importance of saving.
C.If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
D.I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
E.It's critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.
F.Nothing is more critical than focus.
G.What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
After the heavy rain passes, a man at a company that lies on the riverbank arrives for work. At the water's edge, he notices a baby beaver (海狸) balls up on the ground. Realizing that the animal needs help, the man picks him up and drives to a nearby animal hospital. From here the beaver is sent to the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society(CWRS), where he will begin his recovery.
Vets check the beaver — now named Birch — for wounds or broken bones. Luckily they find no injuries. “But he's a real little animal — only three and a half pounds,” says Andrea Hunt, a worker at the rehab center. According to his weight, they think that Birch is about eight weeks old. “Baby beavers stay with their families for one to two years,” Hunt says. “He's not ready to care for himself. If he hadn't been saved, he almost certainly wouldn't have survived.”
To keep Birch from getting lonely, Hunt pairs him with another baby beaver named Aspen. At first they're fed a milky cereal. A few weeks later, Birch and Aspen begin a diet (饮食) of solid food that includes leafy kale and collard greens. Wood is also on the menu. For exercise, each beaver receives its own pool to swim in.
About a year later, Birch weighs 27 pounds. “Not only is he healthy, but he's also learned good survival skills,” Hunt says. “It's time to let him go.” Early one morning the beaver is driven into a Canadian forest to be set free. Birch is carried in a cage (笼子) to the bank of a lake. When the door opens, he carefully steps out, then jumps into the water and swims away. “We'll miss Birch,” Hunt says. “But nothing feels better than putting an animal back where it should be.”
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只小海狸遇险获救并最终被放归大自然的故事。
1.On his way to work, the man ________.
A.gets caught in heavy rain
B.saves a little young animal
C.is driven to a hospital
D.sends a beaver home
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第一段中的“the man picks him up and drives to a nearby animal hospital”和第二段中的“If he hadn't been saved, he almost certainly wouldn't have survived.”可知,那位男子在上班途中救了小海狸一命,故选B项。
2.According to Paragraph 2, Birch ________.
A.moves to the rehab center with Hunt
B.loses his parents when he is born
C.is too young to care for himself
D.breaks his bones in an accident
解析:选C 细节理解题。由该段中的“they think that Birch is about eight weeks old ... He's not ready to care for himself”可知,Birch太小还不会照顾自己,故选C项。
3.Which of the following may Andrea Hunt agree with
A.If you love him, stay with him forever.
B.It is dangerous to get close to animals.
C.Just keep a beaver as your pet.
D.Save animals, save the world.
解析:选D 推理判断题。由Andrea Hunt帮助小海狸康复并将其放归大自然的故事及她在最后一段所说的“But nothing feels ... should be.”可知,Andrea Hunt会同意D项说法。
4.What would be the best title for the text
A.Birch:a lucky beaver
B.Aspen:a special friend
C.Andrea Hunt:a skilled worker
D.The CWRS:home to injured animals
解析:选A 标题归纳题。总览全文可知,文章主要讲述了一只小海狸遇险获救并最终被放归大自然的故事,故用A项作为标题最恰当。
加餐练(二) 第Ⅱ卷规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
What on earth does happiness mean I can't give you its __1__ (exactly) definition (定义), but I'm sure if you love and help others, you'll get it.
I'll never forget an old lady. She lives in __2__ small house alone. It is said that her husband and her son __3__ (die) in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, but she often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children __4__ (live) nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the __5__ (story) she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, __6__ I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love.
But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk __7__ (noisy) in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees __8__ (enjoy) themselves and they laugh at others' shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their personality already.
Now I know what happiness is. __9__ means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that __10__ (bring) happiness to others is getting ourselves happiness.
1.exact 修饰名词definition,应用形容词。
2.a 此处泛指“一所小房子”,用不定冠词a。
3.died 根据years ago可知,应用一般过去时。
4.living v. ing作定语修饰several children。
5.stories story“故事”是可数名词,讲的故事不止一个,故用复数形式。
6.but/yet 由unlucky及happy的对比可知,前后句之间为转折关系,故用but/yet连接。
7.noisily 修饰动词talk用副词。
8.to enjoy 此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
9.It 指代前一句提到的happiness,故用It。
10.bringing 所用词在宾语从句中作主语,且指抽象性动作,故应用动名词形式。
Ⅱ.短文改错

第四句:interests→interest; 去掉have前的to
第五句:make→made
第六句:Beside→Besides; staying→stay
第七句:when→that/which
第八句:第二个for→as
第九句:great前加a

It's said that dinosaurs died out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers are hunted for fur to make carpets so that they only live in secure reserves; grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affecting distant cities.
Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquitoesbiting. According to the result of theinspection, they found that the insect contains a powerful drug, so local farmers were employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into tears and responded, “Our real loss is our decreasingincome.”
We should appreciate the natural balance and paymore attention to theimportance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace can we smile inrelief.
  据说恐龙因一次意外事件而灭绝了,但是今天的野生动植物却是因为人类的伤害而消失或处在危险中。例如,老虎被猎杀以获取皮毛做地毯,以至于它们只生活在安全的保护区里;草地被无情地破坏,以至于沙尘暴开始形成影响遥远的城市。
去年,科学家观察到猴子在身上擦某种昆虫来保护自己不受凶猛的蚊子的叮咬。根据检查的结果,他们发现这种昆虫含有一种具有强大效力的药物,于是,当地的农民都被雇来捕捉这种虫子。结局是,这种昆虫从这整个地区都消失了。当被告知这是整个人类的损失时,农民们都突然哭着回应道:“我们减少的收入才是我们真正的损失呢!”
我们应该意识到自然平衡并多加注意保护野生动植物的重要性。直到我们成功让野生动植物平静地生活,我们自己才能如释重负地笑开颜。(共4张PPT)Unit 4 Wildlife Protection课时跟踪练(一)Warming Up & Reading-Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I lay in the hospital bed with my six year old daughter, Elizabeth, holding her in my arms. “Mommy, will you stay with me the whole time?” she asked, looking up. “You know I can't be in the operating room,” I said carefully, not wanting to frighten her. “But Daddy and I will be waiting right outside.” Elizabeth nodded, but her eyes looked troubled.
Elizabeth had broken her right leg in July. Seven months later, it still hadn t healed (康复). In fact, it had gotten worse. She was here in the hospital for surgery (手术).
I wanted to tell her that everything would be okay and promise that this would be the last time she d have to go through this. But what if something went wrong again How could I comfort my daughter when I needed comfort myself
There was a knock at the door. A nurse I thought. Time to say goodbye already But the woman who came in wasn t a nurse. “Hi,” the woman said. “I m a volunteer here, and I ve got something for Elizabeth.” She handed a bright blue box to my daughter.
Elizabeth sat up and took the box. She opened it and started pulling out goodies one by one — candies, stickers, a lovely toy in the shape of a star. She hugged the star, perking_up for the first time since she entered the hospital. “Thank you,” she said. “I love them.” There was a big smile on her face. It had been so long since I saw that big smile.
The gift was a great comfort not only to my daughter, but also to me.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者的女儿在进手术室前有些紧张,这时一位陌生人送来一盒礼物,使女儿高兴起来。
1.Why did the author s daughter feel upset
A.She would have surgery on her arm.
B.The author had no time to play with her.
C.She had to stay in the hospital for a long time.
D.The author couldn t stay in the operating room.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的“ You know I can t be in the operating room, I said carefully, not wanting to frighten her.”可知,作者不能进入手术室,这使得女儿有些紧张。
2.The author didn t make any promise because ________.
A.there was no time for her to do so
B.she wasn t sure of the result herself
C.she believed everything would be okay
D.she thought there was no need for her to do so
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“But what if something went wrong again?”可知,作者没法给女儿许诺,因为她自己也不确定手术结果。
3.Why did the woman come in
A.To offer a gift.
B.To say goodbye.
C.To comfort the author.
D.To get all the things ready.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“I m a volunteer ... to my daughter.”可知,这位妇女进来是为了送礼物。
4.The underlined part “perking up” means “________”.
A.having a rest     B.thinking carefully
C.doing her best D.becoming cheerful
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据下文“There was a big smile on her face.”可知,女儿很高兴。所以perk up意为:愉快、活跃起来。
B
Four animals — a wildcat, a mongoose, a mouse and an owl — had made their home in a huge tree.
The mouse and the mongoose lived at the foot of the tree in two different holes. The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.
The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing. The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it. The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.
One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter. Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped. They knew it was a hopeless task. Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever. The mouse s joy, however, was short lived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it. Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down. The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.
It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it. Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out. Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.
The mouse ran away too. It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.
语篇解读:野猫吃猫头鹰和猫鼬,三者都吃老鼠。野猫是猫头鹰和猫鼬的敌人,反而成了老鼠的“朋友”,救了老鼠的命。
5.The mouse lived in extreme fear every day because ________.
A.it lived at the foot of the tree
B.hunters set traps everywhere
C.all its three neighbours might eat it at any time
D.its food might be taken away by its neighbours
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句、第四段中猫鼬和猫头鹰对老鼠的虎视眈眈以及最后一段中老鼠将野猫放出来后自己也逃离了可知,这三个邻居都对老鼠有生命威胁,因此它每天都生活在极度恐慌之中。
6.Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three
A.The wildcat. B.The mouse.
C.The mongoose. D.The owl.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,野猫无所畏惧,四处乱逛;猫头鹰和猫鼬害怕野猫;老鼠害怕前三者。由此可知,在这四个邻居中,野猫最强势。
7.The mouse bit at the net to save the cat because ________.
A.they were good friends
B.they both hated the hunters
C.the mouse was too kind to see the cat die
D.the other two neighbours were to attack it
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句可知,野猫被困住之后,猫鼬和猫头鹰没有了天敌的威胁,于是准备攻击老鼠。老鼠意识到如果没有了野猫,自己面临的威胁更大,所以才救了野猫。
8.From the passage we can learn that the mouse is ________.
A.kind B.brave
C.clever D.stupid
解析:选C 推理判断题。老鼠救了猫来保全自己,但也不寄希望于猫会感谢自己,也逃跑了。由此可推知,老鼠是聪明的。
C
Seal Island is a 200 meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15 foot long, 3,000 pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”.
Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
I m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
Take care of your body.
Life is “unfairly” biased (偏向的) towards people who “look good”, like it or not. So it s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. __1__ You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
__2__
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately, I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like The Millionaire Next Door. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
Think in the long term.
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I m designing my life and I m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I m in my 40 s, 50 s and 60 s. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the “big picture”. __3__
Realize the power of focus.
Focus, focus, focus ... __4__ If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions (使人分心的事). __5__ Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical (极重要的) to their goals.
A.Save your money.
B.The importance of saving.
C.If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
D.I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
E.It s critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.
F.Nothing is more critical than focus.
G.What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Laughter Yoga (大笑瑜伽) is one form of yoga. Madan Kataria, a doctor in Mumbai, India invented it. He believed that people had forgotten how to really laugh. Through his research he made an interesting discovery. The human mind does not know the difference between forced laughter and real laughter. Forced laughter can also lead to a feeling of happiness.
And then Kataria had the idea for a group of people who would laugh together. He gathered (聚集) a few of his friends together. They met in a public park in Mumbai. That small group grew and grew! And this is how people began to do Laughter Yoga. People doing Laughter Yoga usually meet together in a Laughter Club. Kataria's friends formed the first Laughter Club in 1995.
Today, there're over 5,000 Laughter Clubs in 53 countries. But what exactly do people do in a Laughter Club People in Laughter Yoga meetings usually do a series of exercises. The exercises include body movement, correct breathing, and of course, laughter! At the beginning of the meeting, people may have to force themselves to laugh. But by the end, everyone is usually laughing in a real way! Each meeting is a little different. But there are common exercises groups may do.
Experts say that the exercises help blood move around the body faster. They also say that Laughter Yoga helps people deal with the bad things in their lives. They say that a person may go into a Laughter Club meeting feeling sad, angry, or worried. But then, people act happy. After a time, forced laughter becomes real laughter. This is one reason why people may enjoy Laughter Yoga so much!
1.What did Kataria find out about laughter
A.People are often forced to laugh.
B.Forced laughter works as well as real laughter.
C.Forced laughter is more interesting than real laughter.
D.People refuse to use forced laughter to cheer them up.

2.Before 1995, people did Laughter Yoga ________.
A.to make friends     B.in a public park
C.in a Laughter Club D.to laugh at each other
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They met in a public park in Mumbai”以及接下来描述“第一个大笑瑜伽俱乐部成立于1995年,到那时人们才开始在俱乐部练大笑瑜伽”可知,在1995年之前,人们是在公园练习大笑瑜伽的。
3.Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A.the rapid development of Laughter Clubs
B.the importance of laughter in Laughter Yoga
C.common exercises people do in a Laughter Club
D.different feelings at the beginning and end of the meetings
解析:选C 段落大意题。第三段的主题句为“what exactly do people do in a Laughter Club”,再根据该段具体描述人们在大笑俱乐部进行的活动可知,C项符合题意。
4.According to experts, ________.
A.anyone can join in a Laughter Club
B.laughter is a very good form of exercise
C.Laughter Yoga makes blood move slowly
D.it takes a long time for people to be free of bad feelings
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中专家所说的“the exercises help blood move around the body faster”以及“helps people deal with the bad things in their lives”可推测,他们认为大笑是一种很好的锻炼形式。

There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of④ them used to live in China. The eggs of twenty five species have been found in Xixia County, Nanyang, Henan Province. Not long ago a rare new species of bird like dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. When scientists inspected⑤ the bones, they were surprised to find⑥that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees⑦. They learned this from the way the bones were joined together⑧.Dinosaurs died out⑨ suddenly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected⑩incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more.

动物灭绝
[第1~2段译文]
从地球有史以来的这段漫长时期,许多动物都消失了。这些动物中最有名的是恐龙。千百万年前,恐龙就在地球上生活,比人类的出现要早得多,当时它们的前景好像也很安全。当时有许多不同种类的恐龙,其中有很多种类曾经生活在中国。25个种类的恐龙蛋是在河南省南阳西峡县发现的。不久前,在辽宁省的朝阳县新发现了一种罕见的、形状像鸟一样的恐龙。科学家们观察它们的骨头时,惊奇地发现这些恐龙不仅跟其他恐龙一样可以跑,而且还可以爬树。科学家们是根据恐龙骨骼的连接方式得知这些的。
恐龙大约在6 500万年前突然灭绝了。有些科学家认为恐龙灭绝是发生在一次意外事故之后,当时宇宙间一块巨石击中地球,因而在空气中扬起太多的尘土。另外一些科学家则认为,地球变得太热,因此恐龙无法在地球上生活了。没有人确切地知道恐龙是由于什么原因,又是怎样在这么短的时间里从地球上消失的。
 We know many other wild plants, animals, insects and birds have died out more recently. According to a UN report, some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in the last 500 years . The dodo is one of them. It lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly animal. Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the earth. according to按照;根据……所说,介词短语,后常跟名词或动名词作宾语。 some adv.大约,常用于数字前,相当于about。 in the last 500 years在过去的500年里,用作时间状语,相当于“over/during the past 500 years”,常与现在完成时连用。
 [第3段译文]
我们知道,近来许多其他的野生动植物、昆虫和鸟类也灭绝了。根据一份联合国的报告,在过去的500年里,大约有844种动植物已经消失。渡渡鸟就是其中的一种。它生活在毛里求斯岛上,是一种非常友好的动物。请听一个关于渡渡鸟的故事,看看它是如何从地球上消失的。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Laughter Yoga (大笑瑜伽) is one form of yoga. Madan Kataria, a doctor in Mumbai, India invented it. He believed that people had forgotten how to really laugh. Through his research he made an interesting discovery. The human mind does not know the difference between forced laughter and real laughter. Forced laughter can also lead to a feeling of happiness.
And then Kataria had the idea for a group of people who would laugh together. He gathered (聚集) a few of his friends together. They met in a public park in Mumbai. That small group grew and grew! And this is how people began to do Laughter Yoga. People doing Laughter Yoga usually meet together in a Laughter Club. Kataria's friends formed the first Laughter Club in 1995.
Today, there're over 5,000 Laughter Clubs in 53 countries. But what exactly do people do in a Laughter Club People in Laughter Yoga meetings usually do a series of exercises. The exercises include body movement, correct breathing, and of course, laughter! At the beginning of the meeting, people may have to force themselves to laugh. But by the end, everyone is usually laughing in a real way! Each meeting is a little different. But there are common exercises groups may do.
Experts say that the exercises help blood move around the body faster. They also say that Laughter Yoga helps people deal with the bad things in their lives. They say that a person may go into a Laughter Club meeting feeling sad, angry, or worried. But then, people act happy. After a time, forced laughter becomes real laughter. This is one reason why people may enjoy Laughter Yoga so much!
1.What did Kataria find out about laughter
A.People are often forced to laugh.
B.Forced laughter works as well as real laughter.
C.Forced laughter is more interesting than real laughter.
D.People refuse to use forced laughter to cheer them up.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The human mind ... feeling of happiness.”可知,Kataria发现强制性的笑和发自肺腑的笑一样都可以使人感到愉悦。
2.Before 1995, people did Laughter Yoga ________.
A.to make friends     B.in a public park
C.in a Laughter Club D.to laugh at each other
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They met in a public park in Mumbai”以及接下来描述“第一个大笑瑜伽俱乐部成立于1995年,到那时人们才开始在俱乐部练大笑瑜伽”可知,在1995年之前,人们是在公园练习大笑瑜伽的。
3.Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A.the rapid development of Laughter Clubs
B.the importance of laughter in Laughter Yoga
C.common exercises people do in a Laughter Club
D.different feelings at the beginning and end of the meetings
解析:选C 段落大意题。第三段的主题句为“what exactly do people do in a Laughter Club”,再根据该段具体描述人们在大笑俱乐部进行的活动可知,C项符合题意。
4.According to experts, ________.
A.anyone can join in a Laughter Club
B.laughter is a very good form of exercise
C.Laughter Yoga makes blood move slowly
D.it takes a long time for people to be free of bad feelings
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中专家所说的“the exercises help blood move around the body faster”以及“helps people deal with the bad things in their lives”可推测,他们认为大笑是一种很好的锻炼形式。
