A
Live
in
the
City—Many
of
us
yearn
to
live
in
the
country，so
we
can
be
closer
to
nature
and
enjoy
peace
and
quiet.However，when
we
do
this
there
are
less
wild
areas
for
wildlife.We
need
to
develop
a
new
environmental
theory，which
encourages
people
to
stay
in
the
cities.We
have
to
make
cities
more
livable
and
leave
the
remaining
wild
areas
for
the
wildlife.
Support
Strict
Zoning—Land
use
zoning(土地用途分区管制)is
one
of
the
few
tools
the
government
can
use
to
protect
wetlands，natural
areas
and
environmental
corridors.Unfortunately，such
zoning
is
often
opposed
by
powerful
land
developers
or
political
forces.It's
important
for
citizens
to
show
support
for
zoning
to
offset
these
negative
pressures.
Support
Organizations
Preserving
Rare
Properties—Several
groups
specialize
in
buying
and
keeping
pieces
of
important
wildlife
habitat
which
are
threatened
with
development.
Create
Habitat
in
Your
Backyard—You
can
make
your
own
backyard
habitat
for
wildlife
by
planting
native
plants，putting
nest
boxes
in
the
trees
and
so
on.
Save
Energy—We
must
work
together
to
use
less
energy.This
is
important
to
stop
climate
change
and
global
warming.Saving
energy
also
reduces
direct
habitat
losses
and
air
and
water
pollution，all
of
which
threaten
wildlife.
Limit
Your
Family
Size—Each
person
requires
space
and
natural
resources
to
live.The
human
population
is
rapidly
rising
to
levels
which
make
it
difficult
to
provide
enough
resources
for
humans
while
maintaining
a
healthy
environment
for
wildlife.If
each
couple
limited
themselves
to
no
more
than
two
children，the
world's
population
would
stabilize(稳定)and
be
able
to
support
everyone
without
conflict
or
suffering.
Get
Involved
and
Talk
to
Law
Makers—Many
of
our
laws
are
not
helpful
for
preserving
wildlife
habitat
or
saving
energy，and
some
policies
actually
reward
large
energy
users.Citizens
need
to
contact
their
law
makers
and
ask
for
better
policies.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍的是我们普通人可以做哪些事情来保护野生动物。
1．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
this
passage?
A．Where
Should
We
Live
in
the
Future?
B．How
to
Protect
Our
Environment?
C．Why
Should
We
Save
Energy?
D．What
Can
We
Do
to
Help
Wildlife?
D [标题归纳题。本文中的几项内容都是关于我们普通人可以做哪些事情来保护野生动物的。]
2．The
underlined
word
“yearn”
in
Paragraph
1
probably
means
．
A．hope
B．fear
C．hate
D．fail
A [词义猜测题。根据后半句的内容，居住在乡下能使人们亲近大自然，享受平和安静的生活，所以人们希望到乡下居住。]
3．Which
of
the
following
actions
will
NOT
destroy
the
homes
of
wildlife?
A．Building
houses
in
the
country.
B．Putting
nest
boxes
in
the
backyard.
C．Releasing
dirty
water
into
a
river.
D．Couples
having
many
children.
B [细节理解题。根据文章内容可知居住在乡下、污染水资源和增加人口都会威胁到野生动物的家园，而人工放置鸟巢是保护野生动物的一种方式，所以选B项。]
B
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】 本文主要介绍了位于南非的Seal
Island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。
4．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.
B [细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话可知，大白鲨跳出水面捕食海豹是Seal
Island闻名于世的主要原因。]
5．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.
D [细节理解题。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的“之”字形游动。]
6．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
C [推理判断题。根据第三段可知，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。]
7．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.
A [写作意图题。根据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。]
C
Nola(August
21，1974－November
22，2015)was
a
northern
white
rhino(犀牛)who
lived
at
the
San
Diego
Zoo
Safari
Park
near
Escondido，California.At
her
death，she
was
one
of
only
four
remaining
northern
white
rhinos
in
the
world.The
other
three
lived
in
Kenya.World
Rhino
Day，held
on
September
22，is
to
raise
awareness
of
the
less
than
30，000
other
rhinos
left
on
Earth.
“Rhinos
need
our
help
today，not
tomorrow，”Nola's
lead
keeper
Jane
Kennedy
said.“Last
year
we
lost
over
1，200
rhinos
just
in
South
Africa.If
we
continue
to
lose
more
than
1，000
rhinos
a
year，in
10
to
20
years
all
the
rhinos
on
the
planet
will
be
gone.”
“Unfortunately，most
animals
are
in
danger
of
dying
out
because
of
humans，”Kennedy
says.“Humans
have
either
poached
animals，or
because
there
are
over
seven
billion
of
us,
we've
taken
up
too
much
of
the
world's
resources”．Poachers
illegally
hunt
rhinos
for
their
horns.They
sell
the
horns
for
thousands
of
dollars
per
pound，to
be
used
for
art，jewelry，and
decorations.Experts
believe
that
one
rhino
is
poached
every
eight
hours.
In
1975，the
San
Diego
Zoo
Institute
for
Conservation
Research
started
the
Frozen
Zoo，a
program
through
which
researchers
have
collected
cell(细胞)samples(样本)from
more
than
8，000
different
types
of
animals，including
the
northern
white
rhino.Scientists
hope
that
by
studying
the
rhino
cells，they
will
get
greater
understanding
of
it，and
will
find
ways
to
increase
its
numbers.
Jane
Kennedy
describes
World
Rhino
Day
as“a
celebration
of
rhinos
along
with
an
awareness
campaign
for
everybody
across
the
world
to
know
that
rhinos
need
our
help.”At
the
San
Diego
Zoo，children
and
adults
are
welcome
to
visit
and
speak
with
zookeepers
to
learn
about
rhinos.But
you
don't
have
to
live
in
San
Diego
to
celebrate
World
Rhino
Day.It
is
observed
around
the
world，with
zoos
and
wildlife
parks
holding
special
events
and
programs
to
teach
people
about
rhinos，and
enable
them
to
see
the
animals
up
close.For

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了白犀牛的相关情况以及人们为阻止濒危动物灭绝所作的努力。
8．What
do
we
know
about
Nola?
A．It
was
a
baby
white
rhino.
B．It
was
one
of
the
last
of
its
kind.
C．It
lived
with
other
northern
white
rhinos
in
Kenya.
D．It
died
on
September
22
at
the
San
Diego
Zoo
Safari
Park.
B [细节理解题。根据第一段“At
her
death，she
was
one
of
only
four
remaining
northern
white
rhinos
in
the
world.”可知Nola是世界上为数不多的仅存的白犀牛之一。故B项正确。]
9．What
troubled
Jane
Kennedy
according
to
Paragraph
2?
A.The
rhinos'
uncertain
future.
B．The
rhinos'
strange
activities.
C．The
limited
natural
resources.
D．The
rare
animals
in
South
Africa.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Rhinos
need
our
help
today，not
tomorrow，’．..If
we
continue
to
lose
more
than
1，000
rhinos
a
year，in
10
to
20
years
all
the
rhinos
on
the
planet
will
be
gone.”可知犀牛现在就需要我们的帮助，如果犀牛继续以现在的速度减少。那么很快犀牛就会灭绝了。说明Jane
Kennedy对犀牛的未来很担心。故A项正确。]
10．What
does
the
Frozen
Zoo
aim
to
do?
A．Invent
new
kinds
of
animals.
B．Keep
animals
from
dying
out.
C．Prevent
rhinos
from
being
hunted.
D．Raise
public
awareness
of
rhinos.
B [推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Scientists
hope
that
by
studying
the
rhino
cells，they
will
get
greater
understanding
of
it，and
will
find
ways
to
increase
its
numbers.”可知科学家希望通过这个项目，研究犀牛等濒危动物的细胞，对这些动物有更深的理解，最终能够阻止这些濒危动物灭绝，增加这些动物的数量。所以the
Frozen
Zoo的目标是阻止动物灭绝。故B项正确。]
11．What
is
the
main
purpose
of
the
last
paragraph?
A．To
help
people
know
more
about
animals.
B．To
encourage
people
to
protect
rhinos.
C．To
report
special
events
in
San
Diego.
D．To
introduce
World
Rhino
Day.
D [主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句可知本段主要介绍了世界犀牛节的有关信息，故D项正确。]
D
Elephants
might
be
the
most
well?known
and
well?loved
animal
in
African
wildlife.But
conservation(保护)of
the
African
elephant
still
faces
special
difficulties.While
the
elephant
population
is
half
of
what
it
was
40
years
ago，some
areas
of
Africa
have
more
elephants
than
populated
areas
can
support.That's
why
AWF
scientists
are
studying
elephant
behavior，protecting
habitats
and
finding
ways
for
humans
to
live
peacefully
with
the
elephants
in
Africa.
Years
ago，over?hunting
and
the
ivory
trade
were
the
biggest
threats
to
elephants'
survival.Luckily，ivory
bans(禁令)，hunting
rules
and
protected
areas
protect
elephants
from
these
dangers
today.
The
21st
century
brings
a
different
challenge
to
elephant
conservation—land?use.Elephants
walk
across
borders
and
outside
parks
and
other
protected
areas.So
they
often
destroy
crops，causing
conflicts(冲突)between
local
farmers
and
these
big
animals.
Successful
conservation
strategies
must
allow
elephants
to
walk
freely
in
their
natural
habitats
while
reducing
conflicts
between
elephants
and
local
people.
AWF
researchers
are
searching
for
a
way
to
give
both
elephants
and
people
the
space
they
need.The
AWF
is
collecting
information
on
elephant
habitats
and
behavior.The
information
they
gather
will
help
to
develop
the
widest
possible
space
for
elephants.
The
AWF
is
helping
elephants
by
protecting
their
habitats.And
they
also
work
with
local
farmers
to
improve
their
life
in
order
to
encourage
them
to
protect
rather
than
destroy
elephants.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。21世纪非洲大象的保护面临着一些困难，AWF的研究人员正在寻找方法去应对这些困难。
12．The
first
paragraph
of
the
text
is
mainly
to
tell
readers
．
A．African
elephants
are
endangered
now
B．there
remains
a
lot
to
do
to
protect
African
elephants
C．African
elephants
are
popular
animals
D．the
number
of
African
elephants
has
increased
over
the
years
B [主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“But
conservation(保护)of
the
African
elephant
still
faces
special
difficulties.”可推断出，第一段主要想告诉读者，保护非洲大象还有很多事要做。]
13．What
is
the
biggest
difficulty
in
protecting
African
elephants
now?
A．They
are
still
being
killed.
B．Their
habitats
are
being
destroyed.
C．They
don't
have
enough
food.
D．They
can't
live
in
peace
with
farmers.
D [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The
21st
century
brings
a
different
challenge
to
elephant
conservation?land?use.”和“So
they
often
destroy
crops，causing
conflicts
between
local
farmers
and
these
big
animals.”可知，21世纪保护非洲大象面临的新挑战是土地使用问题，大象经常破坏庄稼，导致当地农民和大象有冲突，他们无法和平共处。]
14．To
protect
elephants，the
AWF
does
all
the
following
EXCEPT
．
A．keeping
elephants
B．protecting
elephants'
habitats
C．doing
research
on
elephants
D．helping
farmers
improve
their
life
A [细节理解题。由最后两段可知，为了保护大象，AWF的研究者研究大象(搜集大象栖息地和行为的信息)、保护大象的栖息地以及改善农民的生活。他们并没有饲养大象。]
15．What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．African
elephants'
conservation
B．Living
with
African
elephants
C．African
elephants'
situation
D．African
elephants
being
endangered
A [标题归纳题。通读全文内容可以看出，本文主要是关于非洲大象的保护。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
It
isn't
often
that
zookeepers
call
on
craftspeople(手工艺人)for
help，but
cold
weather
at
the
Wildlife
SOS
Elephant
Conservation
and
Care
Center
in
northern
India
was
putting
elephants
at
risk.
16
．Now
the
elephants
are
stepping
out
in
style，thanks
to
volunteers
who
used
their
crafting
talents
to
knit
big
sweaters
to
protect
the
elephants.
17
．It
has
been
taking
action
against
animal
cruelty
and
saving
wildlife
in
trouble
since
1995.Their
Elephant
Conservation
and
Care
Center
is
devoted
to
rescuing
the
gentle
elephants
from
being
treated
with
extreme
cruelty
in
circuses.
18
，and
the
staff
hopes
to
take
in
50
more
of
the
creatures.
19
，so
they
are
particularly
vulnerable(易受……伤害的)to
cold
temperatures.When
the
staff
reported
near?freezing
nighttime
temperatures，volunteers
from
surrounding
villages
began
knitting
big
sweaters
to
keep
the
elephants
warm.The
monumental
sweaters，which
are
large
enough
to
cover
the
elephants'
backs，bellies，and
legs，are
beautiful
and
cheerful.
20
—each
one
takes
about
four
weeks
to
create
with
volunteers
working
together.Centered
on
a
common
goal，the
project
helps
foster(培养)a
sense
of
community
in
all
who
participate.
A.Wildlife
SOS
is
a
conservation
group
B．Making
the
sweaters
is
a
big
undertaking
C．A
few
elephants
have
recovered
from
injuries
D．There
are
20
elephants
living
at

E．Some
volunteers
even
make
sweaters
for
elephants
in
India
F．Most
of
the
elephants
housed
at
the

are
in
poor
health
G．Thus
the
center's
staff
joined
forces
with
locals
to
find
a
creative
way
to
keep
the
animals
warm
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。在印度北部野生动物SOS大象保护和护理中心，大象因寒冷面临危险，于是志愿者们为它们编织毛衣来御寒。
16．G [上文提到在野生动物SOS大象保护和护理中心的大象因寒冷面临危险，下文说到志愿者编织毛衣保护大象，由此可推断空格处是说找到了让大象保暖的办法，G项“于是这个中心的工作人员联合当地人想到一个创造性办法给动物们保暖”，符合文意。]
17．A [该空置于句首，是本段的主题句。根据内容可知本段介绍了野生动物SOS这个机构是致力于动物保护的。故A项(Wildlife
SOS
is
a
conservation
group)符合文意。]
18．D [根据下文的关键词语take
in
50
more
of
the
creatures(再接收50头大象)可知这个中心已经有一些大象了，D项(There
are
20
elephants
living
at
the
center
at
present)符合文意。]
19．F [空格处和so后面的分句为因果关系，后面提到大象很容易受到寒冷气温的伤害，由此可知它们体质较弱，F项(Most
of
the
elephants
housed
at
the
center
are
in
poor
health)符合文意。]
20．B [从破折号后面对前句的解释可知道这项工作是一项大任务。B项(Making
the
sweaters
is
a
big
undertaking)符合文意。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
It
happened
on
a
rainy
Saturday
morning
last
month.My
wife
Catherine
and
I
were
21
along
what
some
people
called
moose(麋鹿)alley.It
was
so
early
that
there
were
few
cars
on
the
road.
22
，something
happened.A
moose
jumped
out
across
our
path.I
had
been
driving
for
years
and
was
23
at
driving.In
order
to
24
knocking
the
moose，I
made
a
quick
25
to
the
other
lane.If
I
had
not
done
that，the
moose
might
have
been
killed，and
my
wife
and
I
might
have
got
26
，too.A
few
seconds
later，when
I
27
and
looked
back
in
my
rear
view
mirror，the
moose
was
getting
up
and
then
ran
into
the
bush.Shaken
but
find，we
both
looked
at
each
other
with
a
surprised
expression.
From
then
on，I
often
thought
about
the
relationship
between
humans
and
28
．We
know
that
animal
species

disappeared
29
since

Earth.This
is
a
natural
phenomenon(现象).However，animal

a
much
faster
rate
for
about
a
century
now
31
human
factors
such
as
pollution.
Certain
philosophers
and
scientists
keep
repeating
that
if
we
don't
save
animals，how
we
will
be
able
to
save
ourselves？A
better
32
of
animals
gives
us
a
better
understanding
of
our
own
species.The
will
to
protect
animals
and
nature
in
general
33
the
value
of
a
society.And
all
animals
play
roles
in
nature
and
have
a
right
to
34
．Therefore，I
think
we
should
try
our
best
to
save
endangered
animals，because
humans
cannot
live
on
the
Earth

Dear
classmates，
As
we
know，some
animals
are
dying
out
for
various
reasons.There
is
no
doubt
that
animals
are
our
friends.With
World
Animal
Day
coming
near，what
should
we
do
to
protect
animals？First
of
all，we
should
forbid
people's
killing
animals
illegally.Second，we
should
do
all
we
can
to
protect
animals'
living
environment.With
their
living
environment
destroyed，the
animals
will
become
extinct
sooner
or
later.Third，we
should
try
our
best
to
make
everyone
realise
the
importance
of
protecting
animals.In
a
way，protecting
animals
means
protecting
ourselves.
Dear

start
now
and
make
every
effort
to
protect
animals—our
good

Bobby
was
getting
cold
sitting
out
in
his
backyard
in
the
snow.Bobby
didn't
wear
boots；or
rather，he
didn't
own
any.The
thin
sneakers
he
wore
had
a
few
holes
in
them
and
they
did
a
poor
job
of
keeping
out
the
cold.
Bobby
had
been
in
his
backyard
for
about
an
hour
already.Try
as
he
might，he
could
not
come
up
with
an
idea
for
his
mother's
Christmas
gift.He
shook
his
head
as
he
thought，“This
is
useless.Even
if
I
do
come
up
with
an
idea，I
don't
have
any
money
for
a
gift.”
Wiping
tears
from
his
eyes，Bobby
started
walking
down
to
the
street
where
the
shops
were.It
wasn't
easy
being
six
without
a
father，especially
when
he
needed
a
man
to
talk
to.
Bobby
walked
from
shop
to
shop，looking
into
each
decorated
window.Everything
seemed
so
beautiful
but
so
out
of
reach.It
was
starting
to
get
dark
and
Bobby
reluctantly
turned
to
walk
home
when
suddenly
his
eyes
caught
the
glimmer(微光)of
the
setting
sun's
rays
reflecting
on
something
on
the
roadside.He
reached
down
and
discovered
a
shiny
dime(一角硬币).
Never
before
has
anyone
felt
as
wealthy
as
Bobby
did
at
that
moment.As
he
held
his
newly?found
treasure，warmth
spread
throughout
his
entire
body
and
he
walked
into
the
first
store.His
excitement
quickly
turned
cold
when
the
salesperson
told
him
that
he
could
not
buy
anything
with
only
a
dime.
He
saw
a
flower
shop
and
went
inside
to
wait
in
line.When
the
shop
owner
asked
if
he
could
help
him，Bobby
presented
the
dime
and
asked
if
he
could
buy
one
flower
for
his
mother's
Christmas
gift.The
shop
owner
looked
at
Bobby
and
his
offering
ten?cent.Then
he
put
his
hand
on
Bobby's
shoulder，saying，“You
just
wait
here
and
I'll
see
what
I
can
do
for
you.”
The
sound
of
the
door
closing
as
the
last
customer
left
pulled
Bobby
back
to
reality.All
alone
in
the
shop，Bobby
began
to
feel
alone
and
afraid.
Paragraph
1：
Eventually
the
shop
owner
came
out
and
moved
to
the
counter.
Paragraph
2：
With
the
bunch
of
beautiful
roses
in
his
hands，Bobby
backed
off
and
then
turned
and
ran.
[参考范文]
Paragraph
1：
Eventually
the
shop
owner
came
out
and
moved
to
the
counter.There，before
Bobby's
eyes，lay
twelve
red
roses，with
leaves
of
green
and
tiny
white
flowers
all
tied
together
with
a
big
silver
tape.Bobby's
heart
sank
as
the
owner
placed
them
gently
into
a
long
white
box.“That
will
be
ten
cents，young
man.”the
shop
owner
said，reaching
out
his
hand
for
the
dime.Slowly，Bobby
moved
his
hand
to
give
the
man
his
dime.Could
this
be
true？He
wondered.
Paragraph
2：
With
the
bunch
of
beautiful
roses
in
his
hands，Bobby
backed
off
and
then
turned
and
ran.Within
minutes，he
was
at
home，still
breathless.“Look，Mother，what
have
I
got
for
you？”Bobby
called
out
in
the
backyard.Mother
came
out
from
inside
the
house.She
could
hardly
believe
her
eyes
upon
seeing
the
beautiful
flowers
in
front
of
her.“Merry
Christmas！”Bobby
said
and
began
to
tell
her
everything
he
had
experienced
in
the
flower
shop.Tearfully，Mother
hugged
her
son
in
her
arms.Standing
in
the
bitter
cold
air，they
somehow
didn't
feel
cold
at
all.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
Live
in
the
City—Many
of
us
yearn
to
live
in
the
country，so
we
can
be
closer
to
nature
and
enjoy
peace
and
quiet.However，when
we
do
this
there
are
less
wild
areas
for
wildlife.We
need
to
develop
a
new
environmental
theory，which
encourages
people
to
stay
in
the
cities.We
have
to
make
cities
more
livable
and
leave
the
remaining
wild
areas
for
the
wildlife.
Support
Strict
Zoning—Land
use
zoning(土地用途分区管制)is
one
of
the
few
tools
the
government
can
use
to
protect
wetlands，natural
areas
and
environmental
corridors.Unfortunately，such
zoning
is
often
opposed
by
powerful
land
developers
or
political
forces.It's
important
for
citizens
to
show
support
for
zoning
to
offset
these
negative
pressures.
Support
Organizations
Preserving
Rare
Properties—Several
groups
specialize
in
buying
and
keeping
pieces
of
important
wildlife
habitat
which
are
threatened
with
development.
Create
Habitat
in
Your
Backyard—You
can
make
your
own
backyard
habitat
for
wildlife
by
planting
native
plants，putting
nest
boxes
in
the
trees
and
so
on.
Save
Energy—We
must
work
together
to
use
less
energy.This
is
important
to
stop
climate
change
and
global
warming.Saving
energy
also
reduces
direct
habitat
losses
and
air
and
water
pollution，all
of
which
threaten
wildlife.
Limit
Your
Family
Size—Each
person
requires
space
and
natural
resources
to
live.The
human
population
is
rapidly
rising
to
levels
which
make
it
difficult
to
provide
enough
resources
for
humans
while
maintaining
a
healthy
environment
for
wildlife.If
each
couple
limited
themselves
to
no
more
than
two
children，the
world's
population
would
stabilize(稳定)and
be
able
to
support
everyone
without
conflict
or
suffering.
Get
Involved
and
Talk
to
Law
Makers—Many
of
our
laws
are
not
helpful
for
preserving
wildlife
habitat
or
saving
energy，and
some
policies
actually
reward
large
energy
users.Citizens
need
to
contact
their
law
makers
and
ask
for
better
policies.

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.

Nola(August
21，1974－November
22，2015)was
a
northern
white
rhino(犀牛)who
lived
at
the
San
Diego
Zoo
Safari
Park
near
Escondido，California.At
her
death，she
was
one
of
only
four
remaining
northern
white
rhinos
in
the
world.The
other
three
lived
in
Kenya.World
Rhino
Day，held
on
September
22，is
to
raise
awareness
of
the
less
than
30，000
other
rhinos
left
on
Earth.
“Rhinos
need
our
help
today，not
tomorrow，”Nola's
lead
keeper
Jane
Kennedy
said.“Last
year
we
lost
over
1，200
rhinos
just
in
South
Africa.If
we
continue
to
lose
more
than
1，000
rhinos
a
year，in
10
to
20
years
all
the
rhinos
on
the
planet
will
be
gone.”
“Unfortunately，most
animals
are
in
danger
of
dying
out
because
of
humans，”Kennedy
says.“Humans
have
either
poached
animals，or
because
there
are
over
seven
billion
of
us,
we've
taken
up
too
much
of
the
world's
resources”．Poachers
illegally
hunt
rhinos
for
their
horns.They
sell
the
horns
for
thousands
of
dollars
per
pound，to
be
used
for
art，jewelry，and
decorations.Experts
believe
that
one
rhino
is
poached
every
eight
hours.
In
1975，the
San
Diego
Zoo
Institute
for
Conservation
Research
started
the
Frozen
Zoo，a
program
through
which
researchers
have
collected
cell(细胞)samples(样本)from
more
than
8，000
different
types
of
animals，including
the
northern
white
rhino.Scientists
hope
that
by
studying
the
rhino
cells，they
will
get
greater
understanding
of
it，and
will
find
ways
to
increase
its
numbers.
Jane
Kennedy
describes
World
Rhino
Day
as“a
celebration
of
rhinos
along
with
an
awareness
campaign
for
everybody
across
the
world
to
know
that
rhinos
need
our
help.”At
the
San
Diego
Zoo，children
and
adults
are
welcome
to
visit
and
speak
with
zookeepers
to
learn
about

Elephants
might
be
the
most
well?known
and
well?loved
animal
in
African
wildlife.But
conservation(保护)of
the
African
elephant
still
faces
special
difficulties.While
the
elephant
population
is
half
of
what
it
was
40
years
ago，some
areas
of
Africa
have
more
elephants
than
populated
areas
can
support.That's
why
AWF
scientists
are
studying
elephant
behavior，protecting
habitats
and
finding
ways
for
humans
to
live
peacefully
with
the
elephants
in
Africa.
Years
ago，over?hunting
and
the
ivory
trade
were
the
biggest
threats
to
elephants'
survival.Luckily，ivory
bans(禁令)，hunting
rules
and
protected
areas
protect
elephants
from
these
dangers
today.
The
21st
century
brings
a
different
challenge
to
elephant
conservation—land?use.Elephants
walk
across
borders
and
outside
parks
and
other
protected
areas.So
they
often
destroy
crops，causing
conflicts(冲突)between
local
farmers
and
these
big
animals.
Successful
conservation
strategies
must
allow
elephants
to
walk
freely
in
their
natural
habitats
while
reducing
conflicts
between
elephants
and
local
people.
AWF
researchers
are
searching
for
a
way
to
give
both
elephants
and
people
the
space
they
need.The
AWF
is
collecting
information
on
elephant
habitats
and
behavior.The
information
they
gather
will
help
to
develop
the
widest
possible
space
for
elephants.
The
AWF
is
helping
elephants
by
protecting
their
habitats.And
they
also
work
with
local
farmers
to
improve
their
life
in
order
to
encourage
them
to
protect
rather
than
destroy
elephants.

It
isn't
often
that
zookeepers
call
on
craftspeople(手工艺人)for
help，but
cold
weather
at
the
Wildlife
SOS
Elephant
Conservation
and
Care
Center
in
northern
India
was
putting
elephants
at
risk.
16
．Now
the
elephants
are
stepping
out
in
style，thanks
to
volunteers
who
used
their
crafting
talents
to
knit
big
sweaters
to
protect
the
elephants.
17
．It
has
been
taking
action
against
animal
cruelty
and
saving
wildlife
in
trouble
since
1995.Their
Elephant
Conservation
and
Care
Center
is
devoted
to
rescuing
the
gentle
elephants
from
being
treated
with
extreme
cruelty
in
circuses.
18
，and
the
staff
hopes
to
take
in
50
more
of
the
creatures.
19
，so
they
are
particularly
vulnerable(易受……伤害的)to
cold
temperatures.When
the
staff
reported
near?freezing
nighttime
temperatures，volunteers
from
surrounding
villages
began
knitting
big
sweaters
to
keep
the
elephants
warm.The
monumental
sweaters，which
are
large
enough
to
cover
the
elephants'
backs，bellies，and
legs，are
beautiful
and
cheerful.
20
—each
one
takes
about
four
weeks
to
create
with
volunteers
working
together.Centered
on
a
common
goal，the
project
helps
foster(培养)a
sense
of
community
in
all
who
participate.
A.Wildlife
SOS
is
a
conservation
group
B．Making
the
sweaters
is
a
big
undertaking
C．A
few
elephants
have
recovered
from
injuries
D．There
are
20
elephants
living
at
the
center
at
present
E．Some
volunteers
even
make
sweaters
for
elephants
in
India
F．Most
of
the
elephants
housed
at
the
center
are
in
poor
health
G．Thus
the
center's
staff
joined
forces
with
locals
to
find
a
creative
way
to
keep
the
animals
warm
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。在印度北部野生动物SOS大象保护和护理中心，大象因寒冷面临危险，于是志愿者们为它们编织毛衣来御寒。
16．G [上文提到在野生动物SOS大象保护和护理中心的大象因寒冷面临危险，下文说到志愿者编织毛衣保护大象，由此可推断空格处是说找到了让大象保暖的办法，G项“于是这个中心的工作人员联合当地人想到一个创造性办法给动物们保暖”，符合文意。]

It
happened
on
a
rainy
Saturday
morning
last
month.My
wife
Catherine
and
I
were
21
along
what
some
people
called
moose(麋鹿)alley.It
was
so
early
that
there
were
few
cars
on
the
road.
22
，something
happened.A
moose
jumped
out
across
our
path.I
had
been
driving
for
years
and
was
23
at
driving.In
order
to
24
knocking
the
moose，I
made
a
quick
25
to
the
other
lane.If
I
had
not
done
that，the
moose
might
have
been
killed，and
my
wife
and
I
might
have
got
26
，too.A
few
seconds
later，when
I
27
and
looked
back
in
my
rear
view
mirror，the
moose
was
getting
up
and
then
ran
into
the
bush.Shaken
but
find，we
both
looked
at
each
other
with
a
surprised
expression.
From
then
on，I
often
thought
about
the
relationship
between
humans
and
28
．We
know
that
animal
species
have
appeared
and
disappeared
29
since
life
began
on
the
Earth.This
is
a
natural
phenomenon(现象).However，animal
species
have
been
30
at
a
much
faster
rate
for
about
a
century
now
31
human
factors
such
as
pollution.
Certain
philosophers
and
scientists
keep
repeating
that
if
we
don't
save
animals，how
we
will
be
able
to
save
ourselves？A
better
32
of
animals
gives
us
a
better
understanding
of
our
own
species.The
will
to
protect
animals
and
nature
in
general
33
the
value
of
a
society.And
all
animals
play
roles
in
nature
and
have
a
right
to
34
．Therefore，I
think
we
should
try
our
best
to
save
endangered
animals，because
humans
cannot
live
on
the
Earth

Bobby
was
getting
cold
sitting
out
in
his
backyard
in
the
snow.Bobby
didn't
wear
boots；or
rather，he
didn't
own
any.The
thin
sneakers
he
wore
had
a
few
holes
in
them
and
they
did
a
poor
job
of
keeping
out
the
cold.
Bobby
had
been
in
his
backyard
for
about
an
hour
already.Try
as
he
might，he
could
not
come
up
with
an
idea
for
his
mother's
Christmas
gift.He
shook
his
head
as
he
thought，“This
is
useless.Even
if
I
do
come
up
with
an
idea，I
don't
have
any
money
for
a
gift.”
Wiping
tears
from
his
eyes，Bobby
started
walking
down
to
the
street
where
the
shops
were.It
wasn't
easy
being
six
without
a
father，especially
when
he
needed
a
man
to
talk
to.
Bobby
walked
from
shop
to
shop，looking
into
each
decorated
window.Everything
seemed
so
beautiful
but
so
out
of
reach.It
was
starting
to
get
dark
and
Bobby
reluctantly
turned
to
walk
home
when
suddenly
his
eyes
caught
the
glimmer(微光)of
the
setting
sun's
rays
reflecting
on
something
on
the
roadside.He
reached
down
and
discovered
a
shiny
dime(一角硬币).
Never
before
has
anyone
felt
as
wealthy
as
Bobby
did
at
that
moment.As
he
held
his
newly?found
treasure，warmth
spread
throughout
his
entire
body
and
he
walked
into
the
first
store.His
excitement
quickly
turned
cold
when
the
salesperson
told
him
that
he
could
not
buy
anything
with
only
a
dime.
He
saw
a
flower
shop
and
went
inside
to
wait
in
line.When
the
shop
owner
asked
if
he
could
help
him，Bobby
presented
the
dime
and
asked
if
he
could
buy
one
flower
for
his
mother's
Christmas
gift.The
shop
owner
looked
at
Bobby
and
his
offering
ten?cent.Then
he
put
his
hand
on
Bobby's
shoulder，saying，“You
just
wait
here
and
I'll
see
what
I
can
do
for
you.”
The
sound
of
the
door
closing
as
the
last
customer
left
pulled
Bobby
back
to
reality.All
alone
in
the
shop，Bobby
began
to
feel
alone
and
afraid.
Paragraph
1：
Eventually
the
shop
owner
came
out
and
moved
to
the
counter.
Paragraph
2：
With
the
bunch
of
beautiful
roses
in
his
hands，Bobby
backed
off
and
then
turned
and
ran.
