Module 6 Animals in
The construction of the new Qinghai?Tibet Railroad in Kekexili, China is considered a threat to endangered animals. The railway, partially functioning since 2001, broke up the local ecosystem by separating the region’s Tibetan antelopes, blocking their migration (迁移) routes, and leaving construction waste behind. It is feared that in addition to these direct negative impacts (影响), the development of the railway will open up the area to hunters and rapidly developing local villages.
In 1995, Yang Xin founded Greenriver — the only government approved NGO (Non?Governmental Organization) for natural protection in Qinghai. He also set up the Suonandajie Nature Protection Station for environmental protection in Kekexili area. Yang Xin is devoted to protecting the endangered Tibetan antelope in Kekexili. In 1975, strict international protection for the antelopes was introduced after severe hunting throughout the 20th century — Tibetan antelope wool nearly drove them to extinction. However, today hunting is again on
the increase and the number of Tibetan antelopes is no more than 75,000. In addition to researching the biology of the antelopes, Yang Xin is running some public education programmes to raise awareness of the threats they face during migration.
Greenriver has made a successful traffic system that allows the antelopes to migrate across a major road. The system has had a measurable impact, and in June 2005, about 2,800 antelopes were seen to cross the Qinghai?Tibetan road, seven times the amount from the same period in 2004. Yang Xin is now working to find new ways to reduce the negative impact the development will have on the free migration of the antelopes.
Yang Xin received further Associate Award support from the Whitley Fund for Nature to help the continuing efforts of Greenriver in China. Within the next five years, he intends to fully incorporate (并入) the government into protection efforts.

Saving the Antelopes①
On a freezing② cold day in January 1994, Jiesang Suonandajie found what he was looking for — a group of poachers③ who were killing the endangered④ Tibetan antelope. Jiesang knew he had to move quickly. He shouted to the poachers to put down⑤ their guns. Although surprised⑥, the poachers had an advantage — there were more of them. In the battle⑦ which followed⑧ Jiesang was shot and killed. When his frozen⑨ body was found hours later, he was still holding his gun. He had given his life to save⑩ the Tibetan antelope.

拯救藏羚羊
[第1段译文]
1994年1月一个滴水成冰的寒冷日子,杰桑·索南达杰发现了他一直在寻找的目标——正在猎杀濒临灭绝的藏羚羊的一群偷猎者。杰桑知道,他必须迅速行动。他大声喊叫着让偷猎者放下他们的枪。偷猎者虽然感到惊慌,但他们占着人多的优势。在接下来的枪战中,杰桑被击中身亡。几个小时后,当人们发现他冻僵的尸体时,他仍然握着枪。他为拯救藏羚羊献出了生命。
At the beginning of? the twentieth century there were millions of antelopes on the Qinghai?Tibetan Plateau?. By the 1990s? the number had fallen to? about 50,000. The reason is simple: the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the most expensive in the world. It is soft, light, and warm — the ideal? coat for an animal which has to survive at high altitudes. A shawl? made from the wool? (known as “shahtoosh”, or “king of wools” in Persian) can sell for five thousand dollars. For poachers the profits? can be huge.
?at the beginning of在……的开始
?plateau/'pl?t??/n.高原

?profit n.利润;益处,作“利润”讲时,用huge/large或small修饰。
[第2段译文]
?20世纪初期,青藏高原上有数百万只藏羚羊。截止到20世纪90年代,藏羚羊的数目下降到了大约5万只。原因很简单:藏羚羊的毛是世界上最昂贵的毛。它又软又轻又暖和,是高海拔地区动物赖以生存的理想皮毛。一条藏羚羊毛织成的披肩?名为“沙图什”,即波斯语中的“众毛之王”?,能卖到5 000美元。这对偷猎者来说利润是丰厚的。
Often working at night?, the poachers shoot whole herds? of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much. The animals are skinned on the spot and the wool taken to India, where it is made into the shawls. From there, it is exported to rich countries in North America and Europe. The business is completely illegal — there has been a ban on the trade since 1975. But in the 1990s the shawls came into fashion among rich people. A police raid on a shop in London found 138 shawls. About 1,000 antelopes — or 2 per cent of the world’s population — had been killed to make them.

[第3段译文]
?那些偷猎者常常在夜里出动,一次就捕杀掉整群的藏羚羊,只留下那些毛不那么值钱的幼崽。那些被猎杀的藏羚羊被就地剥皮,羊毛被运送到印度,在那里被制成披肩。然后出口到北美和欧洲的富裕国家。这种贸易是完全违法的——自1975年以来一直被禁止。但是到了20世纪90年代,这种藏羚羊毛披肩在有钱人中间流行开来,成为时尚。在伦敦,警察在对一家商店的一次突击搜查中竟发现了138条披肩。?这就意味着?大约1 000只藏羚羊——或者全球总数的2%——被猎杀来做这些披肩。
In the 1990s the Chinese government began to take an active part in protecting the antelopes in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve — the huge national park on the Qinghai?Tibetan Plateau, which is the main habitat of the antelopes. Over the next ten years about 3,000 poachers were caught and 300 vehicles confiscated. Sometimes there were gunfights, like the one in which Jiesang Suonandajie was killed.
But today the government seems to be winning the battle. The number of poachers has fallen. The small group of officials who work in the reserve are helped by volunteers who come from all over the country, and who are ready for the difficult conditions of life at 5,000 metres. Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers. International co?operation seems to be working. Since 1997 the antelope population has slowly begun to grow again.

[第4~5段译文]
在20世纪90年代,中国政府开始积极参与保护在可可西里自然保护区的藏羚羊——这是青藏高原上的大型国家公园,是藏羚羊的主要栖息地。在接下来的10年中,大约有3 000名偷猎者被抓获并有300辆汽车被没收。有时,还会发生枪战。像杰桑·索南达杰就是在其中的一次枪战中牺牲的。?但如今,政府似乎正在赢得这场战争,偷猎者的人数下降了。在保护区工作的一小组政府官员得到了来自全国各地的并且愿意忍受海拔5 000米的恶劣生活环境的志愿者们的支援。同时,在那些出售藏羚羊毛披肩的国家,警方开始严厉打击藏羚羊毛披肩的贩卖者。国际合作似乎也取得成效。自1997年以来,藏羚羊的数目已开始慢慢回升。

Though much effort and many resources have been spent in protecting the endangered giant panda, research by an international team of scientists shows that much suitable panda habitat is outside the nature reserves and areas where the panda is reported to live.
“This research can help the Chinese government and international nongovernmental organizations develop full strategic (战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda,” said Jianguo “Jack” Liu, MSU University Distinguished Professor of fisheries and wildlife.
“Overall, about 40 percent of the suitable habitat for pandas is inside the nature reserves,” said Andres Vina, a specialist. “But we have also identified potentially suitable habitat outside the reserves.”
The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. Pandas once ranged throughout most of China, northern Vietnam and northern Myanmar. Today, fewer than 1,600 giant pandas live in the wild in three Chinese provinces: Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan. Human actions — including logging (伐木), residential development and the expansion of farming — are considered the main reasons for the dramatic decrease of the giant panda’s habitat.
The research team developed habitat models using geographical and environmental information gathered by satellites overlaid with information on panda occurrence. After analyzing six mountain regions in the three provinces where pandas are known to live, the scientists developed a habitat suitability index (索引) for the entire 48,328 square?mile area. The range?wide habitat analysis model gives the government and other agencies a new tool as they develop conservation strategies not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.
“The Chinese government plans to add about 69,500 square miles of land to the country’s nature reserve system between 2010 and 2020,” said Ouyang Zhiyun, director of the Lab of Urban and Regional Ecology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. “So opportunities exist to create new reserves, to expand existing reserves and to create pathways that increase the connectivity among the reserves. On the basis of our results, we suggest some new areas be included in China’s nature reserve system.”

George was a game warden (猎物繁殖和保护区的管理员) in Kenya. One day, he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness. They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened. Sadly, he took the three little lions and drove back home.
When George got out of the car with the baby lions, his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over. Joy had cared for many young animals over the years, but she had never tried to raise baby lions! However, she was determined to save these babies.
The lions grew rapidly. But as the lions grew bigger and stronger, Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions. They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo; they would keep the smallest lion, which they named Elsa.
Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself. Elsa liked to play with her human friends, but as Elsa grew to her adult size, this play became dangerous. More than once, Elsa knocked Joy to the ground, scratching (抓伤) her. Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home. They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead. Finally, Joy and George decide to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt. Kenya.
Elsa never forgot Joy and George. Whenever they camped nearby, Elsa would come to visit, rubbing her head against their legs in greeting.
Joy missed Elsa, but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion. Joy wrote a book about Elsa, Born Free, which became an international bestseller. Joy traveled all over the world, talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world.
Joy lived out her life in Africa, working with wild animals. She wrote more books about her experiences. Her heartfelt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire (激发) a worldwide movement to protect wildlife. For Joy Adamson, there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals, living free.
语篇解读:文章主要讲述了Joy Adamson和三只被收养的狮子幼崽之一Elsa的故事,以及她为保护野生动物所做出的贡献。
5.When George took the three lions home, his wife________.
A.advised him to give them to a zoo
B.was frightened by their appearance
C.was unwilling to care for them
D.had a great love for them
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Joy Adamson immediately took over” 以及下文描述Joy多年来一直照料其他小动物可知,Joy第一眼看到三只狮子幼崽时就对它们爱不释手。
6.Joy and George set Elsa free because________.
A.Elsa scratched Joy
B.there wasn’t enough food for Elsa
C.Elsa was big and strong
D.Elsa was a danger to their neighbors
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第四段的“as Elsa grew to her adult size”以及“They knew she needed ... to lead”可知,随着Elsa长大,Joy和George的家已经限制了Elsa的成长,而且Elsa对他们也很危险,不再适合她继续待下去。
7.What do we know about the book Born Free from the text?
A.It became very popular.
B.It is mainly about Joy’s experiences in Meru Park.
C.It focuses on wild animals in Kenya.
D.It helped change people’s attitude towards wildlife.

8.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Joy Adamson: living with lions
B.Elsa: lion raised by a human
C.Born Free: a wonderful book
D.George: a game warden
解析:选A 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了Joy Adamson和三只被收养的狮子幼崽之一Elsa的故事,以及她为保护野生动物所做出的贡献,由此可知A项标题最贴切、全面。
C
A few years ago, I read about an eight?year?old girl who studied elephant poaching(偷猎) in school and made a poster for her local grocery store. The slogan read, “Save the elephants. Don’t buy Ivory Soap, or they will die out.” What the girl had done taught me a lesson. Since then, I have looked at eight?year?olds in a different way. As an environmental educator, I used to teach eight?year?olds about the harm of elephant poaching, rainforest destruction, and global warming. I had a degree in natural science — but not in child development. What did I think I was accomplishing by putting my environmental concerns on the shoulders of kids who still believe in fairy tales (童话故事).
Kids develop the fear of nature when their primary contact with the natural world is hearing bad news about the environment. If I wanted to inspire conservation action, I needed to change my ways, but how? I came across some research by psychologist Louise Chawla. She wanted to know what had gone on in the childhoods of adults who are good environmental citizens. She found two things most common. They had free time to explore the rivers or woods down the street, and they had an adult in their lives who was enthusiastic about the natural world. I understand now that what turned me into a good person today was a childhood spent playing in the field and having a dad who knew that finding a lobster(龙虾)under a rock was better than finding treasure.
So that’s what I was doing when I was eight years old — looking under rocks, climbing trees, and picking wild flowers. I didn’t know a thing about the Clean Air Act that was being debated in congress at that time. I didn’t hear a lot of environmental problems. But I built a relationship with nature and I grew up to care. Now I treat my own kids like the child I was. My kids turn off the water when they brush their teeth and turn off the lights when they leave a room.
语篇解读:人类赖以生存的大自然正在被严重破坏,保护环境应该从孩子抓起,帮助孩子从小建立与自然的关系。
9.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A.The author felt very proud of herself.
B.The author took action to save the elephants.
C.The author thought her teaching was a failure.
D.The author doubted the natural science.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What did I think ... believe in fairy tales (童话故事)?”以及第二段的“I needed to change my ways”可知,作者认为自己的教育方法是不可取的。
10.How do children react when learning about environmental problems?
A.They tend to ignore the problems.
B.They become scared of nature.
C.They hate to learn natural science.
D.They want to help solve the problems.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Kids develop the fear ... bad news about the environment.”可知,让孩子们了解了环境问题会导致他们对大自然产生恐惧。
11.The author mentions the research in order to show ________.
A.how to have a happy childhood
B.what the best way to get close to nature is
C.how to change children’s bad behavior
D.what makes children care about the environment
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She wanted to know what ... environmental citizens.”可知,该研究主要解释了是什么影响了孩子,让他们长大后为保护环境出一份力。
12.What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.The harm of hunting animals to the environment and mankind.
B.The causes of environmental problems we are facing.
C.The importance of encouraging kids to protect nature.
D.The right methods of developing children’s idea of nature.
解析:选D 主旨大意题。本文主要阐述了教育和环境保护之间的关系,作者通过实例论述了一个道理:让孩子拥有环保思想的正确教育方式不是让他们感到害怕,而是让他们心中充满对大自然的爱。

先行词是形容词的最高级或先行词前有形容词最高级修饰时
先行词是序数词或先行词前有序数词对其进行修饰时
先行词既指人又指物时

Beijing, which is the capital of China, is a very beautiful city.
北京是中国的首都,它是一座非常美丽的城市。
2.当指代前面整个句子时,which只能置于主句之后,as位置灵活,可前、可后、可中间;as有“正如,像”之意,which无此意;as作主语时常与被动结构相连,或作宾语。
He finished the task in time, as we had expected.

世界自然保护基金组织
[第1段译文]
世界自然保护基金组织是世界上最大的自然保护组织。它于1961年在英国成立,同年在瑞士开了一个国际办事处。其目的在于保护濒临灭绝的野生动物的自然栖息地。其中一位建立者,画家兼自然学家,皮特·斯科特设计了著名的熊猫标志。缩略词WWF代表“世界自然保护基金组织”。最初名字是World Wildlife Fund。现在这个组织在所有五大洲的90个国家拥有分支机构。它拥有成千上万名志愿者和五百多万名通过捐资来帮助的支持者。自1985年以来,它已经在130个国家的11 000个项目上花费了100 000多万美元。
The focus? of attention has changed, too. In the 1980s the WWF became interested in? all activities? which have an effect on? the environment?, such as pollution and the way ?we use energy?. The WWF believes that our world has a future only if? people learn to conserve? nature and not waste energy. As a result, it started working with governments to introduce environmental education into schools.
The WWF has worked with the Chinese government since 1980, when Dr George Shaller arrived to work with Chinese scientists on the panda project. For fifteen years WWF China staff had been based in Switzerland but came to China to monitor the project. Then, in 1995, the organisation set up an office in Beijing. Today there are more than thirty staff working on twenty projects all over the country. They include work in forests, energy, and in environmental education for China’s primary and secondary schools as well as saving the panda, of course.

as well as也,和,又
[第2~3段译文]
?WWF?关注的焦点也已经发生了变化。20世纪80年代,世界自然保护基金组织开始关注所有对环境造成影响的活动,比如污染以及我们利用能源的方式。世界自然保护基金组织相信只有人们学会保护自然,不浪费能源,我们的世界才有未来。因此,它开始与政府合作把环保教育推行到学校。,自1980年以来世界自然保护基金组织已经与中国政府进行合作,那时乔治·山勒博士来与中国科学家共同从事熊猫工程的工作。15年来,世界自然保护基金组织的中国工作人员驻地在瑞士,但是他们到中国来监测这一工程。接着,1995年该组织在北京设立了办事处。时至目前,全国有30多个该组织成员在从事着20个项目的工作。它们包括森林、能源的工作以及中国中小学的环保教育,当然也有拯救熊猫的工作。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Animal Conservation
Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth’s wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.
The Dodo (渡渡鸟)
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth’s biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos (犀牛)
The Rhino horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers.
The Giant Panda
The future of the WWF’s symbol is far from certain. As few as 1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals. However, the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals.
Whales
Despite the fact that one?third of the world’s oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区), 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions (碰撞) with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.
语篇解读:本文主要介绍了五种野生动物及其?濒临?灭绝的原因。
1.Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text?
A.The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.
B.The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.
C.The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
D.The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.” 一句可判断渡渡鸟是灭绝的动物之一,再根据最后一段中的“the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct” 一句可得出其他几种。
2.________ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.
A.The whale’s rich oil
B.The panda’s black and white patched coat
C.The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs
D.The Dodo’s delicious meat
解析:选C 细节理解题。文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的药用价值。
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
B.Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
C.People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.
D.The whale is the representing mark for the WWF.
解析:选D 推理判断题。从第四段中的“The future of the WWF’s symbol is far from certain.” 一句可得出“世界自然保护基金组织”的图案标志是“大熊猫”,而不是“鲸”。
4.Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?
A.The way of their life.
B.The reason for their extinction or being in danger.
C.Why they are hunted.
D.Punishment for hunting wild animals.
解析:选B 细节理解题。针对五种野生动物介绍,内容不尽相同,有的介绍了人们为什么猎取它们;有的介绍了这些野生动物剩余的数量;有的介绍了对于猎取野生动物的惩罚手段,但有一点是相同的,即渡渡鸟灭绝的原因以及其他四种野生动物濒临灭绝的原因。
Ⅱ.语法填空
For years, parents were urged to stop children from eating snacks between meals. To keep young bodies and minds __1__ (perform) well over the course of a long day filled with school, homework and activities, nutritionists (营养师) __2__ (definite) saw the need for snacks throughout the day.
As children will gladly tell you, they need something in their bellies (肚子) to tide them over between meals, and __3__ (old) kids often need extra energy for sports practice and other activities. But what should children be eating at snack time?
While nutritionists agree that after school snacks can be a good way __4__ (provide) needed energy, they also stress the __5__ (important) of serving healthy snacks. Healthy snacks provide nutrients, help develop healthy eating habits, and help prevent __6__ wide range of illnesses. High?calorie, high?sugar, and high?fat snacks should __7__ (avoid), including sugary sodas, snack chips, candy sweets, and processed foods low __8__ nutritional value. In addition, __9__ (focus) on snacks that provide healthy carbohydrates (碳水化合物) for energy and proteins that build muscles. Fruits and vegetables are highly recommended snacks __10__ most children fail to eat enough fruits and vegetables each day.

1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
语篇解读:一直以来,父母们总是严格禁止孩子们吃零食。但实际上,如果选对了零食,孩子们也可以健康度过每一天。
1.performing 现在分词在这里作宾语补足语。
2.definitely 修饰动词saw需要副词,故填definitely。
3.older 此处与上文作比较,指年龄大些的孩子。
4.to provide 动词不定式作后置定语,意为“放学后吃零食可能是一种提供所需能量的好途径”。
5.importance 根据语境可知,stress后面接名词短语,故填importance。the importance of ... 指“……的重要性”。
6.a 这里表示泛指,a wide range of意为“大范围的;各种各样的”。
7.be avoided 根据语意可知,前面所列的零食应该要避免,为被动关系。
8.in 根据语境可知,加工食品的营养价值低,low in nutritional value。
9.focus 这里是祈使句,提出一个建议,故填动词原形。
10.because 根据语意可以判断,前后两个分句为因果关系,故填because。

Section Ⅴ Writing— 如何描写动物
一、写作方法
动物是常见的写作素材。对动物的描写常采用以下几种方法:

3.重点突出法
采用重点突出法描写动物时,首先要仔细观察此动物,找出它与众不同的地方加以描述。在描写动物最主要的特点时,可采用比喻、拟人等方法,使重点部分更加突出,给读者留下深刻的印象。
二、增分佳句

When seven?year?old Sky Nockels learned that black rhinos (犀牛) were an endangered species, he decided to do something to help them. He raised money to adopt a black rhino named Imara at the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota. By adopting Imara, Sky helps the zoo take care of the rhino’s needs, such as food and a good habitat.
Sky has been a summer camp member at the Great Plains Zoo since he was three. There he and other kids learnt about the animals and did projects for them. “We made juice drinks for the bears,” says Sky. “They enjoyed them.” Another time, he made holes in cardboard tubes and filled them with vegetables for the monkeys. The monkeys had fun plucking (摘) their food from the tubes.
Now that Sky is older, he is playing an even more active role in the care of animals. Since black rhinos are one of Sky’s favorite animals, he decided to adopt Imara first. “I adopted a Grevy’s zebra named Deman, too, for my little brother Alexander,” he says.
Sky raised money to help care for the animals he wanted to adopt. He promised to raise D|S75 for his rhino and D|S25 for Alexander’s zebra. To earn the money, Sky and his grandfather planted a vegetable garden. Sky planted seeds (种子), watered, and weeded (除草). When the time came, he harvested the vegetables and sold them at a stand in front of his parents’ store.
When Sky’s friends heard about the stand, they brought vegetables from their parents’ garden to sell, too. With the help of his friends, he earned enough money to honor his promises.
Sky is one of the youngest people to adopt an animal at the Great Plains Zoo. He cares about the animals and plans to plant and sell vegetables again this summer to help them. “I hope other children do something to help animals, too,” he says.

Hello Simon,
How are you doing? To learn more about the rare antelopes, our class visited the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve on September 15, 2018. Now I’m writing to tell you something about it.
We got there before 7:00 am when the antelopes seemed in their dreams. We walked on our tiptoes so as not to disturb them. But before we approached, they ran away, because of which we had to watch them at a distance. No wonder they are called Highland Elves.
I think maybe it is the killing from us human beings that makes them become so self?protective. If only human beings stopped killing wildlife! If so, this world would be more beautiful. Do you think so?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Module 6 Animals in danger
单元小结
According to statistics from the WWF, standing for World Wide Fund for Nature, over 12,000 animal species are on the brink of being extinct. The WWF has set up many branches in 90 countries in all five continents, aimed at monitoring some projects, involving founding nature reserves, protecting animals’ natural habitats and not wasting energy and protecting the endangered species in the world. Thanks to the WWF’s great efforts, the conditions have greatly improved.
Tibetan antelopes, feeding on grass and living on the Qinghai?Tibetan Plateau were once in danger of extinction because of the poachers’ illegal hunting. Why do poachers hunt the antelope? That is because the antelope’s wool is the most ideal material for coats or shawls. The wool is worth much. Many people are concerned about the antelope’s safety and work as volunteers to protect the antelope as well as other wildlife. In the battles, some of volunteers were killed. The poachers were so cruel that they skinned the antelopes on the spot. Sometimes, police raids make the policemen confiscate many wool and skin products. Meanwhile, the police get tough with the dealer. Now, the number of the antelopes has greatly grown. It is really a wonder.
根据WWF,即世界自然保护基金组织的数据,有12 000个动物物种正处于灭绝的边缘。世界自然保护基金组织现在已经在所有的五大洲的90个国家里建立了很多分支机构,目的是监督一些项目,包括建立自然保护区,保护动物的自然栖息地,不浪费能源以及保护世界上的濒危动物。多亏了世界自然保护基金组织的巨大努力,情况已经有很大的好转。
以草为食,居住在青藏高原上的藏羚羊因为盗猎者的非法猎杀而曾经陷入灭绝的危险中。为什么盗猎者要猎杀藏羚羊呢?那是因为藏羚羊毛是制作大衣和披肩的最理想的材料。这些羊毛很值钱。许多人担心藏羚羊的安全,作为志愿者保护它们及其他的野生生物。在战斗中,有些志愿者被杀害。这些盗猎者是如此地残忍,他们当场对捕获的藏羚羊进行剥皮。有时,警察的突击搜查使他们能没收许多的毛皮制品。同时,警察严惩商人。现在,藏羚羊的数目已有了很大的增长。这确实是一个奇迹。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
When seven?year?old Sky Nockels learned that black rhinos (犀牛) were an endangered species, he decided to do something to help them. He raised money to adopt a black rhino named Imara at the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota. By adopting Imara, Sky helps the zoo take care of the rhino’s needs, such as food and a good habitat.
Sky has been a summer camp member at the Great Plains Zoo since he was three. There he and other kids learnt about the animals and did projects for them. “We made juice drinks for the bears,” says Sky. “They enjoyed them.” Another time, he made holes in cardboard tubes and filled them with vegetables for the monkeys. The monkeys had fun plucking (摘) their food from the tubes.
Now that Sky is older, he is playing an even more active role in the care of animals. Since black rhinos are one of Sky’s favorite animals, he decided to adopt Imara first. “I adopted a Grevy’s zebra named Deman, too, for my little brother Alexander,” he says.
Sky raised money to help care for the animals he wanted to adopt. He promised to raise D|S75 for his rhino and D|S25 for Alexander’s zebra. To earn the money, Sky and his grandfather planted a vegetable garden. Sky planted seeds (种子), watered, and weeded (除草). When the time came, he harvested the vegetables and sold them at a stand in front of his parents’ store.
When Sky’s friends heard about the stand, they brought vegetables from their parents’ garden to sell, too. With the help of his friends, he earned enough money to honor his promises.
Sky is one of the youngest people to adopt an animal at the Great Plains Zoo. He cares about the animals and plans to plant and sell vegetables again this summer to help them. “I hope other children do something to help animals, too,” he says.

W:I don’t understand how you got a ticket. I thought you were a careful driver.
M:I usually am, but I thought I could get through the crossing before the lights turned red. I was driving too fast so I hit a car.
(Text 2)
W:Can you tell me how much it costs to repair the TV set?
M:Well, the set is very old. It’ll cost about 100 pounds. However, a new one may cost you 120 pounds more or less. So it’s not worth repairing.
(Text 3)
W:How many people are they interviewing?
M:They interviewed sixteen the first time, and now four of us were chosen to go back for the second interview.
W:I hope it goes well. Good luck. I hope you can get the job.
(Text 4)
M:The guests are leaving for New York today on the 11 o’clock flight. It’s too late. So there will be no bus then. We need someone to get them to the airport on time.
W:I’d be happy to, but my car is under repair now.
M:In that case, we have to call a taxi.
(Text 5)
W:Mary and I are going to the concert. Do you want to come, too?

(Text 6)
W:Sunshine Hotel, may I help you?

W:What is the name, please?

W:Why? It is your favorite.

W:Jack, are you yourself? What has happened? Are you having a fever?
M:Not really. It’s all because of my professor. We were asked to turn in a paper on Friday morning, but I haven’t started writing even a single word.
W:Why didn’t you write it?
M:I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English exam all the time, so I had no time.
W:Oh, come on. I think you should have a good rest. Let’s enjoy this free Wednesday night.
M:Anne, listen, I really can’t.
W:Are you serious?

(M) What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein? What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna? Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in California.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of a famous person. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses; Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them! I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel,” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup! The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Over the past 20 years, scientists studying monarch butterflies have noticed that the number of monarchs has dropped by about 90 percent. But help may soon be on the way for these bright?orange?and?black butterflies.
Recently a petition (请愿) was sent by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Center for Food Safety, and the Xerces Society to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who announced it would take a year to decide whether the butterflies should be considered an endangered or a threatened species. By officially labeling monarchs as endangered, the government can then carry out specific plans to help increase the population of monarch butterflies.
Monarch butterflies are known for their impressive, almost 3,000?mile migration each fall. When the weather starts to get cooler, the butterflies move from summer habitats in Canada and the northern U.S. to warmer winter homes in Mexico and California.
The drop in numbers of this beloved butterfly is partly because of farming practices in the U.S. Midwest, where monarchs are first born. Many farmers there use herbicides, or chemicals that destroy unwanted plants. Unfortunately, the herbicides are also destroying the milkweed plant, which monarch caterpillars (幼虫) feed on.
In the past 20 years, monarch butterflies have lost about 165 million acres of their habitats — an area about the size of Texas. That’s about a third of their summer breeding grounds (繁殖地). And most of their wintering grounds in Mexico and California have suffered from droughts, heat waves, and severe storms, which have been damaging to the creatures. Heavy logging (伐木) in these regions has also been destroying monarch habitats.
If officials label monarchs endangered, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will try their best to ensure that monarchs do not die out.
“To protect our nation’s wildlife, the government should recognize the dangerous situation of monarchs,” says Sarina Jepsen of the Xerces Society. “Protection as an endangered species will enable monarch habitat recovery on both public and private lands.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。为拯救危难之中的北美帝王蝶,一些组织请愿将帝王蝶列为濒危物种,美国相关部门正在对此进行审议。
21.The purpose of the petition is probably to ask the U.S. government to ________.
A.take measures to stop monarchs moving
B.provide new natural habitats for monarchs
C.add monarchs to the list of protected species
D.work out how many monarchs there are
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“it would take a year to decide whether the butterflies should be considered an endangered or a threatened species”以及“By officially labeling monarchs as endangered”可知,由于北美帝王蝶数量的骤减,一些组织向美国政府请愿,请求把帝王蝶纳入到濒危物种名单中,从而使政府制定计划来使帝王蝶的数量回升。

While most school?aged kids are returning to classes with stories of summer hiking and camping, a 9?year?old boy in northern Michigan is sharing the story of how he broke a world record.
Braden Dubois, a student at Inland Lakes Elementary, was able to set a new world record this summer as the youngest stock car driver on the planet. According to The World Record Academy, Dubois has met the requirements to officially become the world’s youngest stock car racer.
“When my father told me that I had a chance to set the record, I wanted to go for it,” Braden said.
Braden’s parents, Krista and Jim Dubois, own the Onaway Speedway and made it possible for Braden to race by allowing him to compete in the 12?year?old age class. Having long been racing fans, the couple purchased the speedway about three years ago and said they enjoyed running it with their family since.
“I was a little nervous about him racing at first,” Krista said. “Once Jim worked with him and I saw how safe and responsible he was I felt much better.”
Krista said the safety gear (装置) they had installed (安装) in Braden’s car is very similar to the equipment used in Nascar races. Braden drives a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, with a four?cylinder (汽缸) engine. The car was purchased for him to race in and is the car he drove to set the record, completing the whole season.
“I spun out a couple of times in it,” Braden said. “The first time I was frightened, but I get used to it.”
Braden is one of the top racers in his league at Onaway Speedway and has received three awards for top?5 finishes this season.“You can’t just get in a car and race,” Braden said. “It’s important to know that you have to learn first, and be safe.”

The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25,1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the five rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.
In the 1950’s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries (东道国) as well as the non?host countries published stamps to mark those games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.
Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.
Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.

Not every parent looks at education in the same light. Some prefer the public school approach, while other parents would rather take their child’s learning experience into their own hands at home.
Reports state there has been a 75 percent increase in homeschooling in the US since 1999. Over two million American children are homeschooled now. Parents can tailor (定做) their children’s classes, environment and schedule in order to fit the needs of the family, which is very convenient.
There is a dark side to this educational freedom, though. Homeschooling is completely legal, but in most states parents are only required to sign a paper expressing their intention to homeschool their child. It is only when there is doubt of misconduct or mistreatment that officials will look more into the authenticity (可靠性) of the level of education and care of the child within the home.
Blindly trusting parents to give their kids a proper learning experience at home without any outside intervention (干预) is putting children at risk for losing out on a basic standard education. There is no confirmed statistic that shows homeschooled children do any better in study than those in public and private schools. A study in 2013, in fact, showed homeschoolers can be at a disadvantage and pointed out a serious educational gap.
Homeschooling can also create more opportunities for mistreatment in households that struggle with home violence. One frightening case in particular involved 10?year?old Raashanai Jones, who was found dead in her home, where her mother was supposed to be providing a safe haven and a basic education for her. Raashanai was 55 pounds, and neighbors didn’t even know she existed because they had never seen her outside.
Many times when there is a problem with a child, whether it being mental, physical or educational, teachers and peers are the first to take notice. Taking this opportunity away from the child without giving back is a huge harm to the child and the community at large.
语篇解读:在美国,很多父母选择在家里教育孩子们,但作者对此表达了自己的担忧。32.According to Paragraph 2, some parents prefer homeschooling because ________.
A.homeschooling can save much money
B.they can control their children’s education
C.they want their children to stay in a safer place
D.they want their children to help them with housework
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Parents can tailor (定做) their child’s classes, environment and schedule in order to fit the needs of the family, which is very convenient.”可知,许多家长选择在家教育孩子是因为他们能够掌控孩子的教育。
33.What can be inferred about homeschooling in Paragraph 3?
A.It should be made illegal in the US.
B.It has more disadvantages than advantages.
C.It has no authenticity of the level of education.
D.It’s easy for parents to get the permission for that.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段的“but in most states parents are only required to sign a paper expressing their intention to homeschool their child”可知,可推断,申请在家教育孩子并没有什么门槛。
34.Why does the author give the example of 10?year?old Raashanai Jones?
A.To show her mother is cruel.
B.To show children should go outdoors.
C.To show homeschooling may not be safe for kids.
D.To show home violence is dangerous.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第五段的“One frightening case in particular involved 10?year?old Raashanai Jones, who was found dead in her home, where her mother was supposed to be providing a safe haven and a basic education for her.”可知这个例子能够表明在家教育形式可能会让孩子陷入危险。
35.What’s most probably the author’s attitude towards homeschooling?
A.Supportive. B.Concerned.
C.Scared. D.Uninterested.
解析:选B 观点态度题。根据文中的“One frightening case ...”和最后一段最后一句“Taking this opportunity away from the child without giving back is a huge harm to the child and the community at large.”等信息,可以看出作者对在家教育感到担忧。

M:Yes. Maybe then you’ll figure out how to follow the rules.
W:Dad, I promise this won’t happen again.
(Text 9)
W:Welcome to England, and I hope your visit here will be a pleasant one. I’d like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
M:Thanks.
W:UK drinking law forbids people under the age of 18 from buying alcohol, as well as friends from buying it for them.
M:Ah, yes. It’s the same in our country. What about smoking?
W:It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you’re under 16.
M:That’s a good law. Most countries have many teens that smoke.
W:Yes, it has actually become a serious social problem for us here. Okay, the biggest thing you’ll need to watch out for is our traffic, as it’s quite different from that in other countries. You should be careful when crossing the road, as the traffic moves on the left side of the road here. Always use the crossing for walking.
M:Yes, it’s really unique!
W:And don’t take any chances when crossing the road. I think the last thing you should be aware of is littering. It is against the law to throw away rubbish on the streets or in other public places. Whenever you have something to throw away, just put it in one of the litter bins along the road, or just put it in your pocket and throw it away at home.
M:Thanks so much for telling me all this.

Hello, everyone. Today, I’m going to share with you a little about the kinds of foods that English people eat.
A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, fried bread, mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes and baked beans, but most English people today prefer a breakfast of hot or cold grain, juice, and a warm drink of either tea or coffee.
The English lunch is normally eaten between 12:00 noon and 1:30 pm, and most often consists of a sandwich. Along with the sandwich, an English person might have a bag of potato chips, fruit or biscuits. A glass of beer might also be added to lunch if the person eats in one of the many pubs; otherwise, a tea or coffee. Fish and chips, often wrapped in a piece of paper, are still a favorite among English diners.
The afternoon tea is simply a time to snack on a bag of potato chips or a few biscuits, and drink a quick cup of tea or coffee. Tiny cakes and sweets are often eaten as well. Tea is also an old?fashioned term for dinner; some English people still say “tea” when they mean the last main meal of the day.

Mildred Rugur met Elaine Lu through Literacy Volunteers of Chemung and Schuyler Counties and considers their friendship a gift.
They met 15 years ago when Elaine requested a tutor to help her learn and speak English, about three years after Elaine became a U.S.citizen.
“It doesn’t seem that long. We’re very good friends,” Mildred said.
Elaine, 59, a native of China, came to the United States in 1993, after she married an American college librarian. Mildred, 99, a retired school teacher and long?time tutor was there to help.
“It’s a very rewarding thing to do,” Mildred said.
When Elaine first arrived in the U.S., she spoke no English. Learning the language was difficult, particularly the different sounds of the vowels, she said.
“I only knew the alphabet,” Elaine said.
Mildred and Elaine, who both live in Elmira, meet for 90 minutes each week and go over lessons, exchange ideas and talk about the books they read.
Through the years, Elaine tried to teach Mildred a bit of Chinese, too.
“I can ask how you are in Chinese, but I’m not sure I’d understand your answer,” Mildred said.
Overcoming the language barrier has helped Elaine in many ways. Mildred and Elaine visited London and Paris together last month, where Elaine learned first?hand how convenient it is to speak English.
So they encourage people to volunteer their time to Literacy Volunteers.
The programme offers basic literacy or English as a second language skills and is in desperate need of tutors, said Nancy Esty, programme director. The demand for instruction seems to increase each month.
Tutors don’t need a special degree to help.
“The only degree you need is a degree of caring,” Nancy said.
“We simplified the process to get people up and running, so they can start affecting people’s lives,” Nancy said.
“It’s_a_good_feeling_knowing_you_made_a_difference_in_someone’s_life,” Mildred said.
语篇解读:年龄大了照样可以做自己喜欢和有价值的工作。99岁高龄的Mildred作为一名家庭教师辅导来自中国的Elaine,帮助Elaine掌握了英语,并且与她共同游览伦敦和巴黎。
24.What can be the best title for the text?

解析:选A 标题归纳题。文章介绍了Mildred作为家庭教师帮助Elaine掌握了英语,并且与她共同游览伦敦和巴黎的故事,鼓励更多的人来做家庭教师帮助其他人。因此“99岁的文学教师正在影响其他人”这一标题合适。

A.Finding a good job.
B.Having a driving license.
C.Visiting around the world.
D.The different sounds of the vowels.
解析:选D 细节理解题。文章第六段中提到Elaine学习语言有困难,尤其是元音的不同发音。

Believe me, improving spoken English is a matter of practice and right guidance (指导).
For improving your communication skills, you should first of all be comfortable with grammar.Grammar is what we studied in our starting school days, and used to think of it as a very boring subject, but this grammar is important to get a good hold of what you speak.So for all those who are weak in grammar, I suggest that you go and get a grammar book.Don’t worry if you can’t remember everything.No one can remember everything in grammar.Just get a good hold of it.That should be enough for the basic preparation.
Speak in English with people around you.Try to talk as much as possible with your teachers and professors in English.This will help you get self?confidence.Break all barriers which hold you from doing so.Make good company (伙伴), and speak with them in English.
If it is possible, join an English course.This is often helpful as the teacher will drive you for good communication skills.Moreover, you get to have good company with your classmates, with whom you can converse freely and no feeling of shame is there, and the learning process is very fast.
Reading English also helps as you get used to different English words and your grammar gets improved.Get a proper English book to start reading.A novel in English is also helpful, but many times novels have many slang words (俚语), which might have a bad influence on your grammar.But anyhow I suggest going for it.In this world there is nothing free, and if you are learning something, then you have to accept the disadvantages of it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。主要向读者介绍了提高英语口语能力的一些有效方法。28.If you want to improve your spoken English, you’d better ________.

30.What does the underlined word “converse” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Talk. B.Move.
C.Laugh. D.Think.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。第四段主要讲了作者建议人们参加英语课程以提高交流技能。在英语课上,你可以与同学自由交流且不会感到难为情。由此可推知,converse的意思与talk接近。

It doesn’t matter how old you are and where you live, YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! It only takes one smile, one encouragement, one hand, one listening ear, to give hope and value to another. You can take something you are passionate (热情的) about, like music,
gardening or books, and turn it into a programme to serve others. I believe that everyone has something important to contribute; there is no contribution too small or insignificant.
A volunteer giving their time and talents brings societies together and unifies humanity.By celebrating our differences and embracing our similarities, we not only become unique individuals, we also stay connected to one another. I founded Kids For A Better World, Inc., a non?profit organisation to encourage the empowerment (力量发展) of youth. When youth are encouraged to use their skills and talents in ways that serve others, they learn how to look beyond themselves, to see the possibilities and create change.
As a leader, I want to inspire and motivate others to see what is possible by bringing communities together and enabling individuals to live peaceful and productive lives. I believe volunteering is an important step in developing character and enriching society as a whole.
Opportunity is the key. The youth of today are facing a variety of challenges. Many are tr

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Animal Conservation
Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth’s wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.
The Dodo (渡渡鸟)
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth’s biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos (犀牛)
The Rhino horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers.
The Giant Panda
The future of the WWF’s symbol is far from certain. As few as 1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals. However, the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals.
Whales
Despite the fact that one?third of the world’s oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区), 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions (碰撞) with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.
语篇解读:本文主要介绍了五种野生动物及其?濒临?灭绝的原因。
1.Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text?
A.The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.
B.The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.
C.The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
D.The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.” 一句可判断渡渡鸟是灭绝的动物之一,再根据最后一段中的“the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct” 一句可得出其他几种。
2.________ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.
A.The whale’s rich oil
B.The panda’s black and white patched coat
C.The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs
D.The Dodo’s delicious meat
解析:选C 细节理解题。文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的药用价值。
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
B.Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
C.People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.
D.The whale is the representing mark for the WWF.
解析:选D 推理判断题。从第四段中的“The future of the WWF’s symbol is far from certain.” 一句可得出“世界自然保护基金组织”的图案标志是“大熊猫”,而不是“鲸”。
4.Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?
A.The way of their life.
B.The reason for their extinction or being in danger.
C.Why they are hunted.
D.Punishment for hunting wild animals.
解析:选B 细节理解题。针对五种野生动物介绍,内容不尽相同,有的介绍了人们为什么猎取它们;有的介绍了这些野生动物剩余的数量;有的介绍了对于猎取野生动物的惩罚手段,但有一点是相同的,即渡渡鸟灭绝的原因以及其他四种野生动物濒临灭绝的原因。
Ⅱ.语法填空

课时跟踪练(十六) Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Though much effort and many resources have been spent in protecting the endangered giant panda, research by an international team of scientists shows that much suitable panda habitat is outside the nature reserves and areas where the panda is reported to live.
“This research can help the Chinese government and international nongovernmental organizations develop full strategic (战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda,” said Jianguo “Jack” Liu, MSU University Distinguished Professor of fisheries and wildlife.
“Overall, about 40 percent of the suitable habitat for pandas is inside the nature reserves,” said Andres Vina, a specialist. “But we have also identified potentially suitable habitat outside the reserves.”
The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. Pandas once ranged throughout most of China, northern Vietnam and northern Myanmar. Today, fewer than 1,600 giant pandas live in the wild in three Chinese provinces: Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan. Human actions — including logging (伐木), residential development and the expansion of farming — are considered the main reasons for the dramatic decrease of the giant panda’s habitat.
The research team developed habitat models using geographical and environmental information gathered by satellites overlaid with information on panda occurrence. After analyzing six mountain regions in the three provinces where pandas are known to live, the scientists developed a habitat suitability index (索引) for the entire 48,328 square?mile area. The range?wide habitat analysis model gives the government and other agencies a new tool as they develop conservation strategies not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.
“The Chinese government plans to add about 69,500 square miles of land to the country’s nature reserve system between 2010 and 2020,” said Ouyang Zhiyun, director of the Lab of Urban and Regional Ecology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. “So opportunities exist to create new reserves, to expand existing reserves and to create pathways that increase the connectivity among the reserves. On the basis of our results, we suggest some new areas be included in China’s nature reserve system.”
语篇解读:中国的大熊猫是一种珍贵的濒临灭绝的动物。那么造成它们濒临灭绝的原因有哪些?我们该采取什么措施来保护大熊猫呢?
1.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.China has made lots of efforts to protect the giant panda.
B.Pandas live better only outside the nature reserves.
C.More plans should be created to protect the giant pandas.
D.Liu Jianguo is a professor who devotes himself to fisheries and wildlife.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Though much effort”可知A项正确;根据第二段的“develop full strategic (战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda”可知C项正确;根据第二段的“Professor of fisheries and wildlife”可知D项正确;第一段说自然保护区外还有许多适合大熊猫生存的栖息地,并没说大熊猫在外面生活得更好,故选B。
2.The purpose of developing habitat models is ________.
A.to know where pandas actually live in China
B.to build a larger nature reserve for the pandas
C.to develop conservation strategies for endangered species
D.to give governments a warning
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“...not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.”可知答案为C项。
3.The underlined word “overlaid” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”.
A.covered B.connected
C.coped D.varied
解析:选A 词义猜测题。此处表达:由卫星收集的信息覆盖着熊猫出现的信息。be overlaid with“被……覆盖着”。
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Ouyang Zhiyun hopes more areas will become nature reserves in China.
B.China has about 69,500 square miles of nature reserves now.
C.The existing reserves will remain the same.
D.The existing reserves shouldn’t be expanded.
解析:选A 推理判断题。从最后一段的“to create, to expand, be included”可以推断出他希望在中国有越来越多的保护区出现,故选A项。
B
George was a game warden (猎物繁殖和保护区的管理员) in Kenya. One day, he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness. They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened. Sadly, he took the three little lions and drove back home.
When George got out of the car with the baby lions, his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over. Joy had cared for many young animals over the years, but she had never tried to raise baby lions! However, she was determined to save these babies.
The lions grew rapidly. But as the lions grew bigger and stronger, Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions. They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo; they would keep the smallest lion, which they named Elsa.
Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself. Elsa liked to play with her human friends, but as Elsa grew to her adult size, this play became dangerous. More than once, Elsa knocked Joy to the ground, scratching (抓伤) her. Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home. They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead. Finally, Joy and George decide to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt. Kenya.
Elsa never forgot Joy and George. Whenever they camped nearby, Elsa would come to visit, rubbing her head against their legs in greeting.
Joy missed Elsa, but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion. Joy wrote a book about Elsa, Born Free, which became an international bestseller. Joy traveled all over the world, talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world.
Joy lived out her life in Africa, working with wild animals. She wrote more books about her experiences. Her heartfelt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire (激发) a worldwide movement to protect wildlife. For Joy Adamson, there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals, living free.
语篇解读:文章主要讲述了Joy Adamson和三只被收养的狮子幼崽之一Elsa的故事,以及她为保护野生动物所做出的贡献。
5.When George took the three lions home, his wife________.
A.advised him to give them to a zoo
B.was frightened by their appearance
C.was unwilling to care for them
D.had a great love for them
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Joy Adamson immediately took over” 以及下文描述Joy多年来一直照料其他小动物可知,Joy第一眼看到三只狮子幼崽时就对它们爱不释手。
6.Joy and George set Elsa free because________.
A.Elsa scratched Joy
B.there wasn’t enough food for Elsa
C.Elsa was big and strong
D.Elsa was a danger to their neighbors
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第四段的“as Elsa grew to her adult size”以及“They knew she needed ... to lead”可知,随着Elsa长大,Joy和George的家已经限制了Elsa的成长,而且Elsa对他们也很危险,不再适合她继续待下去。
7.What do we know about the book Born Free from the text?
A.It became very popular.
B.It is mainly about Joy’s experiences in Meru Park.
C.It focuses on wild animals in Kenya.
D.It helped change people’s attitude towards wildlife.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“which became an international bestseller”可知选A项。
8.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Joy Adamson: living with lions
B.Elsa: lion raised by a human

C
A few years ago, I read about an eight?year?old girl who studied elephant poaching(偷猎) in school and made a poster for her local grocery store. The slogan read, “Save the elephants. Don’t buy Ivory Soap, or they will die out.” What the girl had done taught me a lesson. Since then, I have looked at eight?year?olds in a different way. As an environmental educator, I used to teach eight?year?olds about the harm of elephant poaching, rainforest destruction, and global warming. I had a degree in natural science — but not in child development. What did I think I was accomplishing by putting my environmental concerns on the shoulders of kids who still believe in fairy tales (童话故事).
Kids develop the fear of nature when their primary contact with the natural world is hearing bad news about the environment. If I wanted to inspire conservation action, I needed to change my ways, but how? I came across some research by psychologist Louise Chawla. She wanted to know what had gone on in the childhoods of adults who are good environmental citizens. She found two things most common. They had free time to explore the rivers or woods down the street, and they had an adult in their lives who was enthusiastic about the natural world. I understand now that what turned me into a good person today was a childhood spent playing in the field and having a dad who knew that finding a lobster(龙虾)under a rock was better than finding treasure.
So that’s what I was doing when I was eight years old — looking under rocks, climbing trees, and picking wild flowers. I didn’t know a thing about the Clean Air Act that was being debated in congress at that time. I didn’t hear a lot of environmental problems. But I built a relationship with nature and I grew up to care. Now I treat my own kids like the child I was. My kids turn off the water when they brush their teeth and turn off the lights when they leave a room.

Choose to be happy. At a young age, we’re taught that there are winners and losers.

You’re halfway down the stairs when the stairwell (楼梯井) is damaged because of the collapse of the tower next door. You survive, but just narrowly. You escape with your life and nothing else. Your job is gone, and so are your friends and coworkers.
That’s the story of what happened to thousands of people after 9/11, and the lessons you can learn from them are many. __5__ No one can take away what is in your mind, the experiences you’ve had, or the wisdom you’ve gained. Everything else is just window dressing.
