Module 6 Animals in Danger (建議用時:40分鐘).閱讀理解A(2020長春質(zhì)量監(jiān)測一)Pangolins(穿山甲) are strangelooking creatures, covered with hard scales(鱗). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot of a microblog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the worlds “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas.A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in number. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin(角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. Its a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime, and the trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章闡述了穿山甲瀕臨滅絕的現(xiàn)狀,以及為保護穿山甲而采取的舉措。1Pangolins have caught peoples attention these years because _Athey look strangeBthey appear in some moviesCthey are killed and eaten by peopleDthey have something to do with pandasC解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“attention”和“these years”,我們把答案定位在第二段。該段開頭說,穿山甲近來成為中國人關(guān)注的焦點,然后提到一張屏幕截圖和一些圖片里,穿山甲成為人們的盤中珍饈,這與C項的描述是一致的。2What can we learn from the passage?APangolins can roll up into a ball to attack enemies.BMore than 1 million pangolins were killed or sold last year.CPangolins were named the most endangered animal in 2016.DThe pangolin is a kind of mammals.D解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容,尤其是“they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world”可知,穿山甲是一種哺乳動物,故選D。3The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to _Aattract people to the zoo to watch pangolinsBlift peoples awareness of protecting pangolinsCremind people of pangolins medical valueDexplain the law to peopleB解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的“World Pangolin Day”,我們把答案定位在最后一段。該段主要陳述了為保護穿山甲而采取的舉措,而這個節(jié)日能讓人們更多地了解穿山甲,從而提高人們保護穿山甲的意識,故選B。4What might be the authors attitude towards the measures taken to protect pangolins?APositive.BNegative.CDisappointed.DUnconcerned.A解析:觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知,中國政府禁止任何人購買和食用穿山甲,世界各地也禁止買賣穿山甲,局面正在好轉(zhuǎn),由此可推知作者覺得這些措施是有效的,故選A。B(2020陜西部分學(xué)校摸底)A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prizethe highest accolade in the field of animal conservationfor his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel(紅隼) from becoming the next Great Auk.When the 65yearold first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding(人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds nests and hatching them under incubators(孵化器), prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also made an effort to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.Prof. Jones was awarded the $250,000 prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didnt enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received.” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.Prof. Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.【解題導(dǎo)語】卡爾瓊斯教授因偷稀缺鳥類的蛋而被指責(zé),后來在動物保護領(lǐng)域被授予諾貝爾獎,他用自己的方法挽救了九種瀕危物種。5What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph 2?AReturn.BLevel.CHonor.DResearch.C解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”并結(jié)合語境可推知,畫線詞意為“榮譽”。故選C項。6According to the passage, Great Auk is _Aan endangered birdBan extinct birdCa popular birdDa fierce birdB解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“he saved an endangered kestrel(紅隼) from becoming the next Great Auk”可推知,Great Auk是一種已滅絕的鳥。故選B項。7What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?ATaking eggs from the nests has worked well.BThe wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.CKestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.DIts difficult to protect kestrel.A解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句以及第四段第一句“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild.”可知,當時野生毛里求斯紅隼只剩4只,瓊斯教授采用人工繁殖的方法來救助毛里求斯紅隼,10年后,毛里求斯紅隼的數(shù)量飆升到300多只,如今野生紅隼約有400只。由此可推知,從鳥巢中拿出鳥蛋的方法效果很好。故選A項。8Prof. Jones idea of taking eggs from the birds nests_.Awas proved of no useBwas widely acceptedCwas promoted officiallyDwas criticized by some peopleD解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“dead loss” “In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques.in the wild.”可知,瓊斯教授從鳥巢中拿出鳥蛋來進行人工繁殖的方法受到了一些人的批評。故選D項。.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。A tornado(龍卷風(fēng)) hit a small town nearby, leaving many families completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the most difficult period to appeal to peoples attention and assistance.One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a simple mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing size of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that sizes of the family closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my sevenyearold twins, Brad and Brett, and threeyearold Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.“We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing,” I said. “Well share what we have with them.” I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Brad rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, bestloved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. “Ill help you find something for the little girl, too,” I said to the little Meghan.Paragraph 1:“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them,” Meghan turned to me._Paragraph 2:Recognizing what little Meghans gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes._One possible version:Paragraph 1:“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them,” Meghan turned to me. “Oh, honey,” I said. “You dont have to give Lucy
