阅读理解
A
Do
you
know
what
to
do
if
you
see
a
bird
with
a
broken
wing
in
your
backyard,
or
a
hurt
raccoon(浣熊)
by
the
side
of
the
road?Use
your
phone!
It’s
never
a
good
idea
to
touch
a
wild
animal
or
to
try
to
help
one
without
professional
guidance.
The
animal
might
be
dangerous
to
you,
and
you
could
cause
further
injury
without
meaning
to.
That’s
why
the
wildlife
rescue
organisation
Animal
Watch
has
created
a
new
mobile
app.
The
app
helps
users
find
the
right
solutions
for
animals
that
need
urgent(紧急的)
care.
Animal
Help
Now
uses
your
phone’s
GPS
to
find
where
the
animal
is
located.
Then
the
app
asks
questions
about
the
animal:Is
it
wild
or
raised
by
humans?Is
it
a
pet
or
a
farm
animal?Could
the
animal
put
humans
in
danger?
Based
on
the
location,
the
time
of
day,
the
type
of
animal,and
the
injury,Animal
Help
Now
will
suggest
a
care
provider
that’s
right
for
your
situation.
For
wild
animals,
the
app
might
suggest
a
nearby
rescue
facility
that
specialises
in
wounded
wildlife.
Or
it
might
point
you
to
registered
care
takers
who
nurse
animals
that
have
been
hurt
in
the
wild
back
to
health.
For
pets
or
farm
animals,
the
app
lists
the
nearest
veterinarians(兽医)
who
care
for
the
type
of
animal
that
has
been
injured.
“The
app
is
designed
to
work
even
when
you
don’t
have
cell
or
Internet
access,”Animal
Watch
director
Dave
Craw-ford
tells
National
Public
Radio.
“So
whether
you’re
driving
through
a
remote
area
on
the
eastern
Colorado
plains,
hiking
a
trail
in
Rocky
Mountain
National
Park,or
simply
passing
through
a
dead
zone
on
your
way
to
work,
you’ll
still
be
able
to
immediately
find
the
help
you
need.”
For
now,Animal
Help
Now
works
only
in
Colorado,where
Animal
Watch
is
based.
But
the
organisation
hopes
to
include
information
for
users
across
the
country.
1.
What
if
you
help
injured
animals
by
yourself?
A.
You
may
become
a
danger
to
them.
B.
You
may
do
more
harm
to
them.
C.
You
may
make
them
become
wilder.
D.
You
may
leave
them
in
a

答案：B
B
Every
year,
more
people
recognise
that
it
is
wrong
to
kill
wildlife
for
“sport”.
Progress
in
this
direction
is
slow
because
shooting
is
not
a
sport
for
watching,
and
only
those
few
who
take
part
in
it
realise
the
cruelty
and
destruction.
The
number
of
gunners,
however,
grows
rapidly.
Children
too
young
to
develop
proper
judgments
through
independent
thought
are
led
a
long
way
away
by
their
gunning
parents.
They
are
subjected
to
advertisements
of
gun
producers
who
describe
shooting
as
good
for
their
health
and
gun-carrying
as
a
way
of
putting
redder
blood
in
the
veins(静脉).They
are
persuaded
by
gunner
magazines
with
stories
honouring
the
chase
and
the
kill.
In
school
they
view
motion
pictures
which
are
supposedly
meant
to
teach
them
how
to
deal
with
arms
safely
but
which
are
actually
designed
to
stimulate
a
desire
to
own
a
gun.
Wildlife
is
disappearing
because
of
shooting
and
because
of
the
loss
of
wild
land
habitat.
Habitat
loss
will
continue
with
our
increasing
population,
but
can
we
slow
the
loss
of
wildlife
caused
by
shooting?
There
doesn’t
seem
to
be
any
chance
if
the
serious
condition
of
our
birds
is
not
improved.
Wildlife
belongs
to
everyone
and
not
to
the
gunners
alone.
Although
most
people
do
not
shoot,they
seem
to
forgive
shooting
for
sport
because
they
know
little
or
nothing
about
it.
The
only
answer,then,
is
to
bring
the
truth
about
sport
shooting
to
the
great
majority
of
people.
Now,
it
is
time
to
realise
that
animals
have
the
same
right
to
live
as
we
do
and
that
there
is
nothing
fair
or
right
about
a
person
with
a
gun
shooting
the
harmless
and
beautiful
creatures.
The
gunners
like
to
describe
what
they
do
as
character-building,
but
we
know
that
to
wound
an
animal
and
watch
it
go
through
the
agony
of
dying
can
make
nobody
happy.
If,
as
they
would
have
you
believe,
gun-carrying
and
killing
improve
the
human
character,
then
perhaps
we
should
encourage
wars.

How
to
Be
a
Good
Owner
Many
children
want
to
have
their
own
pets,
but
how
to
be
a
good
pet
owner?
Besides
giving
them
food
and
water,
what
else
can
we
do
to
give
our
pets
much
love?
Here
are
five
tips
to
be
a
good
pet
owner.
?Provide
your
pet
with
the
correct
diet.
If
you
prefer
to
change
the
previous
diet
of
your
pet,
do
it
slowly
so
that
it
can
adjust(适应)
properly.
8
Young
dogs
will
need
different
types
of
dog
food
compared
to
older
dogs.
And
remember,
do
not
overfeed
your
pet.?
?Clean
their
housing
often.
Clean
your
pet’s
home
at
least
once
a
week
and
any
other
time
if
necessary.
Generally,
a
pet’s
home
should
be
clean
so
it
is
a
good
environment
for
the
animal.
9 ?
?Keep
your
pet
clean.
If
you
have
a
dog
that
always
plays
in
the
mud,
it’s
necessary
to
give
it
a
shower
every
day!
10
If
it
is
too
hot
or
too
cold
for
you,
then
it
will
be
the
same
for
the
animal.?
?Train
your
pet.
11
However,
a
lot
of
bad
pet
behaviour
is
simply
caused
by
boredom,
so
shake
it
up
a
little.
If
possible,
take
your
pet
to
some
classes,
read
a
book
on
how
to
teach
your
pet
to
paint,
or
anything
else
that
you
wish
your
pet
to
do!?
? 12 ?
Put
a
collar(项圈)on
your
pet
with
your
personal
information
and
the
pet’s
name.
Remember
to
close
the
cage
door
so
there
is
no
chance
of
escaping
and
being
in
an
unsafe
place.
A.
Never
hurt
or
harm
your
pet.
B.
Be
an
owner
with
a
sense
of
duty.
C.
No
one
wants
a
cat
that
jumps
on
the
table.
D.
Animals
require
different
diets
based
on
age.
E.
Remember
that
you
should
check
the
water
first
with
your
hand.
F.
Water
should
be
fresh,
clean
and
changed
daily
to
keep
your
pet
healthy.
G.
Without
good
living
conditions,
an
animal
will
get
sick
more,
and
feel
unhappy.
答案：8.
D 9.
G 10.
E 11.

答案：
As
we
all
know,
many
animals
become
endangered
or
extinct
because
of
the
serious
destruction
of
their
natural
habitats.
People
are
concerned
about
their
existence.
In
order
to
remove
the
threats
to
wild
animals,
we
should
take
measures
to
watch
over
them
and
set
up
nature
reserves
for
them.
Only
when
we
don’t
attack
wild
animals

any

A
Good
news
for
giant
panda
lovers:
The
cute
and
cuddly
creature
has
just
been
brought
back
from
the
brink
of
extinction.
The
International
Union
for
Conservation
of
Nature
(IUCN)
downgraded
the
species
from
“endangered”
to
“vulnerable”
as
the
union
released
its
updated
Red
List
on
Sept.
4
at
Hawaii.
The
downgrading
came
after
IUCN
data
suggested
that
there
were
1,864
giant
pandas
in
the
wild
in
China
in
2014—their
population
has
grown
by
17
percent
in
the
decade
leading
up
to
2014.
Chinese
conservation
efforts,
including
forest
protection
and
reforestation,
are
considered
to
be
the
driving
force
behind
the
animal’s
resurgence.
“It’s
all
about
restoring
the
habitats,”
Craig
Hilton-Taylor,
head
of
the
IUCN
Red
List,
told
the
BBC.
The
number
of
panda
reserves
in
China
has
also
jumped
to
67,
from
13
in
1992.
Nearly
two-thirds
of
all
wild
pandas
live
in
these
reserves,
according
to
the
World
Wildlife
Fund.
“Just
by
restoring
the
panda’s
habitat,
that’s
given
them
back
their
space
and
made
food
available
to
them,”
Hilton-Taylor
said.
A
loss
of
habitats,
on
the
contrary,
was
what
caused
the
number
of
pandas
to
drop
to
just
over
1,200
in
the
1980s,
Hilton-Taylor
added.
Apart
from
giant
pandas,
the
Tibetan
antelope
has
also
moved
from
“endangered”
to
“near
threatened”.
According
to
a
statement
from
IUCN,
the
animal’s
numbers
dwindled
severely—dropping
from
around
1
million
to
an
estimated
65,000
-72,500
in
the
1980s
and
early
1990s—due
to
commercial
poaching.
Rigorous(严格的)
protection
has
since
been
enforced
to
protect
the
beasts
and
the
population
is
now
likely
to
be
between
100,000
and
150,000.
Despite
the
improved
statuses,
wild
animals
like
the
giant
panda
and
the
Tibetan
antelope
still
face
great
challenges.
The
IUCN
warned,
for
example,
that
ongoing
threats
from
climate
change
could
eliminate
more
than
35
percent
of
the
panda’s
bamboo
habitat
in
the
next
80
years,
which
would
reverse
the
species’
recent
gains.

答案：B
B
I
work
with
Volunteers
for
Wildlife,
a
rescue
and
education
organisation
at
Bailey
Arboretum
in
Locust
Valley.
Trying
to
help
injured,
displaced
or
sick
creatures
can
be
heartbreaking:
survival
is
never
certain.
However,
when
it
works,
it
is
simply
beautiful.
I
got
a
rescue
call
from
a
woman
in
Muttontown.
She
had
found
a
young
owl(猫头鹰)
on
the
ground.
When
I
arrived,
I
saw
a
2-
to
3-week-old
owl.
It
had
already
been
placed
in
a
carrier
for
safety.
I
examined
the
chick(雏鸟)
and
it
seemed
fine.
If
I
could
locate
the
nest,
I
might
have
been
able
to
put
it
back,
but
no
luck.
My
next
work
was
to
construct
a
nest
and
anchor
it
in
a
tree.
The
homeowner
was
very
helpful.
A
wire
basket
was
found.
I
put
some
pine
branches
into
the
basket
to
make
this
nest
safe
and
comfortable.
I
placed
the
chick
in
the
nest,
and
it
quickly
calmed
down.
Now
all
that
was
needed
were
the
parents,
but
they
were
absent.
I
gave
the
homeowner
a
recording
of
the
hunger
screams
of
owl
chicks.
These
advertise
the
presence
of
chicks
to
adults;
they
might
also
encourage
our
chick
to
start
calling
as
well.
I
gave
the
owner
as
much
information
as
possible
and
headed
home
to
see
what
news
the
night
might
bring.
A
nervous
night
to
be
sure,
but
sometimes
the
spirits
of
nature
smile
on
us
all!
The
homeowner
called
to
say
that
the
parents
had
responded
to
the
recording.
I
drove
over
and
saw
the
chick
in
the
nest
looking
healthy
and
active.
And
it
was
accompanied
in
the
nest
by
the
greatest
sight
of
all—LUNCH!The
parents
had
done
their
duty
and
would
probably
continue
to
do
so.
4.
What
is
unavoidable
in
the
author’s
rescue
work
according
to
paragraph
1?
A.
Efforts
made
in
vain.
B.
Getting
injured
in
his
work.
C.
Feeling
uncertain
about
his
future.
D.
Creatures
forced
out
of
their
homes.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二句话“Trying
to
help
injured,
displaced
or
sick
creatures
can
be
heartbreaking:
survival
is
never
certain.”可知救助受伤的、流离失所的、生病的动物是令人心碎的,因为作者不知道救助的动物是否能活下去,也就是说作者为救助而花费的努力可能会白费,这是不可避免的。故选A。
答案：A
5.
Why
was
the
author
called
to
Muttontown?
A.
To
rescue
a
woman.
B.
To
take
care
of
a
woman.
C.
To
look
at
a
baby
owl.
D.
To
cure
a
young
owl.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She
had
found
a
young
owl
on
the
ground.
When
I
arrived,
I
saw
a
2-
to
3-week-old
owl.”可知作者被叫去该地方的原因是查看幼小的猫头鹰,文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了。故选C。
答案：C
6.
What
made
the
chick
calm
down?
A.
A
new
nest.
B.
Some
food.
C.
A
recording.
D.
Its
parents.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“I
placed
the
chick
in
the
nest,
and
it
quickly
calmed
down.”可知作者在把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后,它很快就安静下来,所以是新窝让猫头鹰安静下来的。故选A。
答案：A
7.
How
would
the
author
feel
about
the
outcome
of
the
event?
A.
It’s
unexpected.
B.
It’s
beautiful.

It’s
humorous.
D.
It’s
discouraging.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“but
sometimes
the
spirits
of
nature
smile
on
us
all”和第一段中的“However,
when
it
works,
it
is
simply

A
Imagine
a
world
with
no
more
wild
animals:
no
elephants,
no
tigers
or
lions.
To
some
people,
that
thought
is
too
terrible
for
words.
So
they
are
doing
something
about
it.
Tiffany
Soechting
is
one
of
them.
Being
among
wild
animals—feeding
them
and
caring
for
them—is
all
Tiffany
Soechting
has
wanted
to
do
with
her
life.
And
that
is
exactly
what
she
does!
Soechting
is
the
human
“mother”
to
the
500
animals
that
live
on
her
family
wildlife
farm
in
San
Antonio.
Besides
her
animal
caring,
Soechting
also
holds
monthly
classes,
where
she
teaches
school
children
about
the
animals.
Soechting
also
opens
the
farm
to
the
public.
Visitors
can
not
only
learn
about
the
animals,
but
also
get
close
to
them.
And
the
animals
are
not
against
that.
For
them,
people
are
part
of
their
natural
environment.
The
farm
is
part
conservation
area,
part
educational
centre
and
part
animal
park.
As
the
animals
walk
peacefully
around
the
grounds,
it
is
easy
for
them
to
forget
that
San
Antonio,
a
busy
city,
is
just
a
few
minutes
away.

答案：B
B
After
years
of
heated
debate,
gray
wolves
were
reintroduced
to
Yellowstone
National
Park.
Fourteen
wolves
were
caught
in
Canada
and
transported
to
the
park.
By
last
year,
the
Yellowstone
wolf
population
had
grown
to
more
than
170.
Gray
wolves
once
were
seen
here
and
there
in
the
Yellowstone
area
and
much
of
the
continental
United
States,
but
they
were
gradually
displaced
by
human
development.
By
the
1920s,
wolves
had
practically
disappeared
from
the
Yellowstone
area.
The
disappearance
of
the
wolves
had
many
unexpected
results.
Deer
and
elk
populations—major
food
sources(来源)
for
the
wolf—grew
rapidly.
These
animals
consumed
large
amounts
of
vegetation(植被),
which
reduced
plant
diversity
in
the
park.
In
the
absence
of
wolves,
coyote
populations
also
grew
quickly.
The
coyotes
killed
a
large
percentage
of
the
park’s
red
foxes,
and
completely
drove
away
the
park’s
beavers.
As
early
as
1966,
biologists
asked
the
government
to
consider
reintroducing
wolves
to
Yellowstone
Park.
The
government
spent
nearly
30
years
coming
up
with
a
plan
to
reintroduce
the
wolves.
The
U.S.
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service
carefully
monitors
and
manages
the
wolf
packs
in
Yellowstone.
Elk,
deer,
and
coyote
populations
are
down,
while
beavers
and
red
foxes
have
made
a
comeback.
The
Yellowstone
wolf
project
has
been
a
valuable
experiment
to
help
biologists
decide
whether
to
reintroduce
wolves
to
other
parts
of
the
country
as
well.
4.
What
is
the
passage
mainly
about?
A.
Wildlife
research
in

United
States.
B.
Plant
diversity
in
the
Yellowstone
area.
C.
The
conflict
between
farmers
and
gray
wolves.
D.
The
reintroduction
of
wolves
to

Park.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“…
gray
wolves
were
reintroduced
to
Yellowstone
National
Park.”和最后一段第二句“The
government
spent
nearly
30
years
coming
up
with
a
plan
to
reintroduce
the
wolves.”可知,文章主要介绍了黄石公园当地政府重新引进灰狼的计划。故选D。
答案：D
5.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“displaced”
in
Paragraph
2
mean?
A.
Tested.
B.
Separated.
C.
Forced
out.
D.
Tracked
down.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知,在黄石国家公园,灰狼曾经随处可见,但是到了20世纪20年代,由于人类活动频繁导致灰狼基本消失,由此可以推测灰狼因为人类的发展而被迫离开。force
out
意为“赶出去”,与displace
意思相近。故选C。
答案：C
6.
What
did
the
disappearance
of
gray
wolves
bring
about?
A.
Damage
to
local
ecology.
B.
A
decline
in
the
park’s
income.
C.
Preservation
of
vegetation.
D.
An
increase
in
the
variety
of
animals.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,灰狼的减少造成了鹿群的增多,从而导致植被遭到了破坏;而且红狐和海狸也不断减少,由此推断灰狼的消失对当地生态系统造成了破坏。故选A。
答案：A
7.
What
is
the
author’s
attitude
towards
the
Yellowstone
wolf
project?
A.
Doubtful.
B.
Positive.
C.

D.
Uncaring.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章末段末句可知,作者认为引进灰狼的项目是很有价值的实验,是很值得推广的。故选B。
答案：B
C
The
sixth
mass
extinction
of
life
on
the
earth
is
unfolding
more
quickly
than
expected,
scientists
have
warned.
More
than
30
percent
of
animals
with
a
backbone
are
declining
in
both
range
and
population,
according
to
the
first
comprehensive
analysis
of
these
trends.
Around
a
decade
ago,
experts
feared
that
a
new
range
wipeout
of
species
was
appearing.
Today,
most
agree
that
it
is
underway,
but
the
new
study
suggests
that
the
die-out
is
already
growing
fast.
The
loss
of
biodiversity
has
recently
accelerated.
Several
species
of
mammals
that
were
relatively
safe
one
or
two
decades
ago
are
now
endangered,
including
cheetahs,
lions
and
giraffes,
the
study
showed.
There
is
no
mystery
as
to
why:
our
own
ever-expanding
species—which
has
more
than
doubled
in
number
since
1960
to
7.4
billion—is
eating,
crowding
and
polluting
its
planetary
cohabitants
out
of
existence.
By
comparison,
there
are
as
few
as
20,000
lions
left
in
the
wild,
less
than
7,000
cheetahs,
500
to
1,000
giant
pandas.
The
main
drivers
of
wildlife
decline
are
habitat
loss,
over-consumption,
pollution,
other
species,
disease,
as
well
as
hunting
in
the
case
of
tigers,
elephants,
rhinos
and
other
large
animals
prized
for
their
body
parts.
Climate
change
is
thought
to
become
a
major
threat
in
the
coming
decades,
with
some
animals—most
famously
polar
bears—already
in
decline
due
to
rising
temperatures
and
changing
weather
patterns.
8.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“accelerated”
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A.
Made
up.
B.
Put
up.
C.
Sped
up.
D.
Used
up.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“Several

were
relatively
safe
one
or
two
decades

now
endangered,
including
cheetahs,

答案：C
9.
Why
has
the
loss
of

sped
up?
A.
The
mankind’s

C.
There

and
polluting
its
planetary
cohabitants
out
of
existence.”可知,引发生物大灭绝的原因显而易见:人类不断繁衍壮大,人口达到74亿,相比1960年不止翻了一番。人们以动物为食,同时还污染环境,让其他动物们无法生存。由此可知,人口的快速增长是生物多样性减少的原因。故选A。
答案：A

How
is
the
future
of
polar
bears?
A.
Uncertain.
B.
Hopeful.
C.

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“with
some
animals—most
famously
polar
bears—already
in
decline
due
to
rising
temperatures
and
changing
weather
patterns”可知,气候变化在未来的几十年将成为生物灭绝的主要因素。由于气温升高,气候变化,一些动物,比如最著名的北极熊,已经在减少。因此推断北极熊的未来是令人不满意的。故选D。

It
is
also,
perhaps,
the
gentlest(最温顺的),
but
not
always!?
Elephants
are
like
humans
in
some
ways.
They
can
live
for
a
long
time—fifty
or
sixty
years.
They
can
remember
things
very
well.
13
If
a
female(雌性的)
elephant
dies,
her
daughters
and
her
granddaughters
will
be
sad
for
many
months.
They
would
stay
with
the
dead
body
for
a
long
time.
And
they
never
forget
a
dead
friend.?
Elephants
are
like
us,
but
they
are
also
different
from
us.
They
live
in
the
families
of
females
where
the
females
are
the
kings.
14
But
the
females
will
soon
send
them
away.
An
elephant
family
keeps
only
daughters,
mothers
and
grandmothers.?
The
females
would
stay
together
for
fifty,
sixty
or
a
hundred
years.
The
older
animals
look
after
the
younger
ones.
15 ?
But
what
happens
to
the
male(雄性的)
elephants?
Well,
the
young
males
just
will
stay
with
their
mothers
for
a
short
time.
Then
they
must
leave
the
family,
because
the
females
will
send
them
away.
A
male
elephant
does
not
often
have
a
friend.
16
Sometimes
if
the
females
invite
a
male
elephant,
then
he
can
visit
them
and
stay.
But
soon
his
“wife”
and
sisters
will
send
him
away
again.
The
females
have
a
very
happy
family
life.
But
what
do
the
male
elephants
think
about
it?
We
don’t
know.?
A.
They
never
forget
great
sadness
or
great
happiness.
B.
He
lives
far

完形填空
Wildlife
has
been
greatly
threatened
in
the
modern
age.
There
are
species
that
are
1
every
day.
The
white-naped
crane
is
a
typical
example.
So
scientists
are
trying
their
best
to
2
the
species
from
going
out
of
existence.?
Chris
and
Tim
work
at
a
zoo,
helping
endangered
cranes
with
their
3 .
Emma,
a
female
crane,
has
been
in
their
4
since
she
arrived
in
2004.?
Born
at
an
international
crane
foundation,
Emma
was
5
by
human
caretakers.
This
led
to
an
unexpected
6 ,
though
she
had
a
wonderful
time
there.
Emma
had
7
taken
herself
as
a
crane
and
become
deeply
attached
to
humans.
She

to
live
with
male
cranes,
and
even
had
a

for
killing
some
of
them,
which
made
it
10
for
her
to
become
a
mother.?
11 ,
the
two
zookeepers
didn’t
want
to
see
the
extinction
of
this
precious
species.
With
their
patience
and
efforts,
they
successfully
developed
a

of
artificial
breeding(人工繁殖)
and
natural
reproduction.
This

to
give
birth
to
five
baby
cranes.?
The
two
keepers
are
proud
of
their
productive
work.
But
before
they
can
be
14 ,
more
efforts
must
be
made,
because
the
population
of
the
crane
in
the

is
on

and
many
other
species
appear
headed
toward
extinction.

and
most

1.
A.
growing
B.
migrating
C.
competing
D.
disappearing
解析：grow生长;migrate迁移;compete竞争;disappear消失。根据第一段第一句“Wildlife
has
been
greatly
threatened
in
the
modern
age.”和最后一句提到的“the
species
from
going
out
of
existence”可以推知,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝,即“消失”。故选D。
答案：D
2.
A.
ban
B.
save
C.
split
D.
remove
解析：ban禁止;save挽救;split分裂;remove移除。前文提到每天都有物种消失,那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力挽救这些物种,使它们免于灭绝。故选B。
答案：B
3.
A.
abortion
B.
recreation
C.
reproduction
D.
administration
解析：abortion堕胎;recreation娱乐;reproduction繁殖;administration管理。上文提到科学家们竭尽全力挽救濒临灭绝的物种,由此推知,该处应指Chris和Tim帮助濒危物种繁殖,增加它们的数量,这样它们才不至于灭绝。故应指“繁殖”,故选C。
答案：C
4.
A.
care
B.
eye
C.
mind
D.
story
解析：care照顾;eye眼睛;mind思想;story故事。自从2004年,Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的“human
caretaker”呼应。故选A。
答案：A
5.
A.
found
B.
chosen
C.
raised
D.
seized
解析：find发现;choose选择;raise抚养;seize抓住。根据空后的“human
caretakers”可知,caretaker是照看Emma的。句意:出生在一个国际鹤基地,Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。
答案：C
6.
A.
bonus
B.
consequence
C.
victory
D.
sacrifice
解析：bonus奖金;consequence结果;victory胜利;sacrifice牺牲。根据空后的though(尽管)可知,though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到,她过得很开心。根据转折关系推断,前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。故选B。
答案：B
7.
A.
never
B.
always
C.
unluckily
D.
cheerfully
解析：never从未;always总是;unluckily不幸运地;cheerfully愉快地。根据下文中的“become
deeply
attached
to
humans
…
even
…
killing
some
of
them”等内容可知,因为Emma一直由人类照看,所以她没有将自己看作一只鹤,而是深深地依恋上了人类。故选A。
答案：A
8.
A.
liked
B.
refused
C.
decided
D.
hesitated
解析：like喜欢;refuse拒绝;decide决定;hesitate犹豫。根据上文可知,Emma没把自己当作鹤,所以她“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。故选B。
答案：B
9.
A.
gift
B.
skill
C.
concern
D.
reputation
解析：gift礼物;skill技巧;concern担心;reputation名声。根据even(甚至)这个表示递进关系的词可知,Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起,而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。故选D。
答案：D
10.
A.
illegal
B.
inspiring
C.
important
D.
impossible
解析：illegal非法的;inspiring鼓舞人心的;important重要的;impossible不可能的。Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤而成为妈妈。故选D。
答案：D
11.
A.
Therefore
B.
Moreover
C.
However
D.
Instead
解析：therefore因此;moreover而且;however然而;instead反而。上文提到Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知,上下文之间是转折关系。故选C。
答案：C
12.
A.
combination
B.
collection
C.
strategy
D.
system
解析：combination结合;collection收集;strategy策略;system体系。经过努力,Chris和Tim成功将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起。故选A。
答案：A
13.
A.
forced
B.
forbade
C.
taught
D.
enabled
解析：force强迫;forbid禁止;teach教;enable使能够。Chris和Tim成功将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起,这使得Emma生育了五只幼鹤。enable
…
to
do
sth意为“使……能够做某事”,故选D。
答案：D
14.
A.
defeated
B.
grateful
C.
assured
D.
tolerant
解析：defeated被打败的;grateful感激的;assured有把握的;tolerant忍耐的。根据后文的“more
efforts
must
be
made”可以推知,尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲,但是他们还需要付出更多努力,因为野生鹤的数量在减少,所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C。
答案：C
15.
A.
list
B.
rise
C.
agenda
D.
decline
解析：list清单;rise上升;agenda议程;decline下降。前后句之间是因果关系,根据“more
efforts
must
be
made”可以推知,野生白鹤数量在减少,所以,还要付出更多的努力(来挽救白鹤)。故选D。
答案：D
16.
A.
In
contrast
B.
After
all
C.
By
the
way
D.
On
the
contrary
解析：in
contrast相反;after
all毕竟;by
the
way顺便问一下;on
the
contrary相反地。前文提到野生白鹤数量正在减少,很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到,并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想、有感情,以及有平等生存的权利。很明显,该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。故选B。
答案：B
17.
A.
leave
B.
bridge
C.
open
D.
identify
解析：leave离开;bridge搭桥,弥合;open开;identify确认。针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象,作者提出一个问题:我们如何来弥合将我们(人类)和其他动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?故选B。
答案：B
18.
A.
course
B.
excuse
C.
answer
D.
reward
解析：course课程;excuse借口;answer答案;reward回报。前文提出一个问题:我们如何来弥合将我们(人类)和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?Chris和Tim的做法给我们提供了一个答案。故选C。
答案：C
19.
A.
brains
B.
behaviours
C.
services
D.
projects
解析：brain大脑;behaviour行为;service服务;project工程。根据下文中的held
all
the
solutions可以推断出,人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。即人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。故选A。
答案：A
20.
A.
guide
B.
treat
C.
example
D.
companion
解析：guide指导,指引;treat对待;example例子;companion同伴。根据转折词but可以推知,人类想当然地认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法,但或许他们的心是更好的指引。故选A。
