A

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.

Dodos

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.It lived on fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505.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 Pandas

The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain.As few

as 1，000 remain in the world. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison.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' continued existence.

Whales

The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of

the whale species.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 tiger 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. 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 tiger.

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“The population of dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.”可知dodos是灭绝的动物之一；再根据最后一段中的“...the Bali，Javan，and Caspian tiger are already

extinct.”可得出其他几种已灭绝的动物。

B

Twelve years ago，a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco，California，visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.In one area of the rainforest，he watched as an orangutan (猩猩)moved through the

trees.It was a sight to remember，in a place to remember. But weeks later，back home，Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been

cut down for their wood in the area he visited. That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests

and threats to their existence.But he did not publish the book.Instead，in 1999，he used his research for the book to create a website.The site is

https://www.360docs.net/doc/2a5504450.html,. Rhett Butler named the site for Nosy Mangabe，an island of Madagascar.His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests.But the subject widened.He，a former businessman，became a respected writer of science and

environmental stories. The popularity of https://www.360docs.net/doc/2a5504450.html,.attracted advertisers.Small ads on the site

pay for its operations.Mongabay has grown and led to other sites.For example，

there is a site for children ，kids .mongabay .com .Another one ，Wild Madagascar .org .，is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place. He travels the world on several major trips each year.His working tools are a laptop computer ，cameras and sometimes diving equipment.

He often calls on experts for information for stories.For example ，he interviewed Alison Jolly ，a top expert on ringtailed lemurs(狐猴)．And last

week he wrote about another animal ，the rare snow leopard. Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for

researchers ，students and teachers.Rhett Butler says he is concerned about how the current economic crisis in the world might affect environmental conservation efforts.For example ，he says the falling price of oil could reduce

interest in developing solar power.

． Rhett Butler is still trying to Now ．5 A ．promote his website B ．get more experts to join him in his efforts C ．draw people's attention to environmental protection D ．find new places to travel to

【解析】 推理判断题。从文章后三段分析，Rhett Butler 一直致力于通过自己的网站宣传环境保护的知识。其余三项是对文章的片面理解。 【答案】 C

6．Which of the following is TRUE about Rhett Butler? A ．He used to be a businessman. B ．He has always been an advocate of wildlife protection. C ．He is better at web designing than at writing. D ．He has always wanted to have a website of his own.

【解析】 细节理解题。从文章第四段最后一句可知，Rhett Butler 原先是一个商人。本题中B 项为最大干扰项。但它与文章开头交代的情况不符。 【答案】 A

． use net beca Mongabay has become a favorite place on the Inter ．7 A ．it is full of stories about rare or endangered animals B ．it provides people with all kinds of information C ．all the articles on it are written by experts D ．people are interested in Rhett Butler's adventure experiences

【解析】细节理解题。综合文章最后两段的信息特别是最后一段第一句可知，是Rhett Butler所写的野生动物的故事使他的网站备受欢迎。本题中C项为最大干扰项。从文章倒数第二段来看，很多文章都是Rhett Butler自己写的。因此C项错误。

【答案】A 8．In what way is Rhett Butler concerned about the current economic crisis

in the world?

A．It will cause great loss to people's property.

B．It might reduce people's interest in developing new energy.

C．It will cause damage to the world economy.

因为它对环保不利，比如会降低人们开发太阳能的兴趣。

【答案】B

C

Rising temperatures，rising sea level and other trends are having an effect

on the world's sea turtles. All female turtles come ashore at nesting beaches，dig nests in the sand，lay their eggs and then return to the sea.Erosion(侵蚀) of nesting beaches caused by rising sea level and more intense storms adds the potential for further dangers to nesting beaches where people，dogs and rats

already prey (捕食) on the eggs of sea turtles. Climate change directly affects the reproduction of sea turtles in three ways.First，sea level rise will affect significant nesting beach areas on low-level sand beaches such as Bonaire，the Maldives and the Great Barrier Reef.Second，rising temperatures increase the chance that sand temperature will exceed the upper limit for egg incubation (孵化) whi ch is 34℃.Third，rising temperatures bias (使偏向) the sex ratio toward females because temperature during incubation determines the sex of the egg.Loggerhead turtle nests in Florida are already producing 90 percent females owing to high temperatures，and if warming raises temperatures by an additional 1℃ or more，no males will

be produced there. Adult feeding patterns are also affected by climate change.Sea grass beds

are in decline，water temperature is higher on intertidal sea grass flats，and coral reefs，typically feeding grounds for green turtles，are affected by

bleaching.

Sea turtles have existed for more than 100 million years and have survived

ice ages.As a result，they may be able to respond to unfavourable nesting temperatures as they have in the past，by seeking out new nesting sites.It may，however，take decades or centuries for sea turtles to re-establish and stabilise their habitats，and steady human development of coastal areas makes

the availability of new habitat for them very limited.

the first paragraph that

．

A．loss of nesting beaches is the only threat to sea turtles

B．dogs are not allowed to come close to sea turtles

What to do with orphaned(没有父母的) wild animals

Lots of young animals are handed in to us as orphans but many of them actually haven't been abandoned at all! If you're worried about a baby animal that seems to be alone，read our advice below.If after that you're sure the animal has been abandoned，either call us on 0300-1234-999 or find your nearest

wildlife rehabilitator.

I've found a baby...

Bat People often think they have found a baby bat because they don't realise

just how small adult bats can be! The B at Conservation Trust (0845-1300-228) will be able to help you and put you in touch with your local bat carer.If you find what you think is a baby bat you need to treat it very carefully—if you have to pick it up，handle it with gloves，or use a soft towel. It might be possible to return the bat to the mother，depending on where you found it.

Bird

If the bird is under a possible nest site，watch it from a distance to see

if the parents are still feeding it.Cats and other predators catch young birds and drop them. If you know this has happened，the bird should be taken to a vet

or a wildlife centre.

Hare Leverets，baby hares，are left alone as soon as they're born.This is a type

of survival strategy，so that the mother hare doesn't put all her eggs in one basket! She'll return to feed her babies once a day at dusk，so don't disturb them.If you're worried，watch them from a distance to see if the mum comes

back.

．

．

The purpose of this passage is to

A．introduce some animals

B．tell us how to know if an animal is abandoned

C．save abandoned animals

D．protect animals

【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的标题以及第一段中的“If you're worried about

a baby animal that seems to be alone，read our advice below.”可知B项正确。

【答案】B

．

According to the passage

14

we know that

，

．

A．many people don't know the size of an adult bat

B．one can pick up a baby bat using a stick

C．a bat carer is a person who abandons the baby bat

D．a bat carer is the owner of the baby bat

【解析】推理判断题。根据bat后面一段中的“People often think they have found a baby bat because they don't realise just how small adult bats can be！”可知，人们不知道长大的蝙蝠是多么小。由此可知A项正确。当捡起蝙蝠时要戴手套或用软毛巾，故B项错误。a bat carer是指关爱蝙蝠的人或组织，故C、D两项不对。

【答案】A

15．Which of the following is TRUE about the hare?

A．The mum hare leaves her babies when they have grown up.

B．The mum hare leaves her babies the moment they are born.

C．The mum hare doesn't care about her babies once she leaves them.

D．Many abandoned hares can be found.

【解析】细节理解题。根据hare后面一段中的第一句“Leverets，baby hares，

are left alone as s oon as they're born.”可知B项正确。

【答案】B

How to Protect the Endangered Animals

Today many animals are endangered in the world.It's time for us human beings to do something to save them. Firstly ，we should make laws to protect endangered animals.Get tough with those who kill animals in danger to get large profit and punish them seriously.Only in this way can fewer endangered animals lose their lives.

Secondly ，we should create more nature reserves for animals to live

in.Sending animals to the zoo is not the best choice，but it's better than they are killed.Besides，we can't destroy their habitats which they have adapted to.It is when they live in the reserve and their habitats that their population

will increase. Lastly，we must regard animals as our close friends and share the world

with them.
