B.Separated.C.Forcedout. D.Trackeddown.解析：詞義揣測題。依據(jù)其次段內(nèi)容可知,在黃石國家公園,灰狼曾經(jīng)隨處可見,但是到了20世紀20年頭,由于人類活動頻繁導致灰狼基本消逝,由此可以推想灰狼因為人類的發(fā)展而被迫離開。forceout意為“趕出去”,與displace意思相近。故選C。答案：C6.Whatdidthedisappearanceofgraywolvesbringabout?A.Damagetolocalecology.B.Adeclineinthepark’sincome.C.Preservationofvegetation.D.Anincreaseinthevarietyofanimals.解析：細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知,灰狼的削減造成了鹿群的增多,從而導致植被遭到了破壞;而且紅狐和海貍也不斷削減,由此推斷灰狼的消逝對當?shù)厣鷳B(tài)系統(tǒng)造成了破壞。故選A。答案：A7.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowardstheYellowstonewolfproject?A.Doubtful. B.Positive.C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)文章末段末句可知,作者認為引進灰狼的項目是很有價值的試驗,是很值得推廣的。故選B。答案：BCThesixthmassextinctionoflifeontheearthisunfoldingmorequicklythanexpected,scientistshavewarned.Morethan30percentofanimalswithabackbonearedeclininginbothrangeandpopulation,accordingtothefirstcomprehensiveanalysisofthesetrends.Aroundadecadeago,expertsfearedthatanewrangewipeoutofspecieswasappearing.Today,mostagreethatitisunderway,butthenewstudysuggeststhatthedie-outisalreadygrowingfast.Thelossofbiodiversityhasrecentlyaccelerated.Severalspeciesofmammalsthatwererelativelysafeoneortwodecadesagoarenowendangered,includingcheetahs,lionsandgiraffes,thestudyshowed.Thereisnomysteryastowhy:ourownever-expandingspecies—whichhasmorethandoubledinnumbersince1960to7.4billion—iseating,crowdingandpollutingitsplanetarycohabitantsoutofexistence.Bycomparison,thereareasfewas20,000lionsleftinthewild,lessthan7,000cheetahs,500to1,000giantpandas.Themaindriversofwildlifedeclinearehabitatloss,over-consumption,pollution,otherspecies,disease,aswellashuntinginthecaseoftigers,elephants,rhinosandotherlargeanimalsprizedfortheirbodyparts.Climatechangeisthoughttobecomeamajorthreatinthecomingdecades,withsomeanimals—mostfamouslypolarbears—alreadyindeclineduetorisingtemperaturesandchangingweatherpatterns.8.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“accelerated”inParagraph3mean?A.Madeup. B.Putup.C.Spedup. D.Usedup.解析：詞義揣測題。依據(jù)畫線詞下文“Severalspeciesofmammalsthatwererelativelysafeoneortwodecadesagoarenowendangered,includingcheetahs,lionsandgiraffes,thestudyshowed.”可知,探討顯示,包括獵豹、獅子以及長頸鹿在內(nèi)的數(shù)種哺乳動物在一二十年前還相對平安,然而現(xiàn)在處于瀕危狀態(tài)。因此推斷畫線詞所在句句意為“生物多樣性的削減最近也加速了”。故畫線詞與C項“加速”詞義相近。故選C。答案：C9.Whyhasthelossofbiodiversityspedup?A.Themankind’spopulationisgrowingfast.B.Theairpollutionistoosevere.C.Therearefewerspeciesinlargerareas.D.Mancauseswiderwaterpollution.解析：細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第四段第一句“Thereisnomysteryastowhy:ourownever-expandingspecies—whichhasmorethandoubledinnumbersince1960to7.4billion—iseating,crowdingandpollutingitsplanetarycohabitantsoutofexistence.”可知,引發(fā)生物大滅亡的緣由自不待言:人類不斷繁衍壯大,人口達到74億,相比1960年不止翻了一番。人們以動物為食,同時還污染環(huán)境,讓其他動物們無法生存。由此可知,人口的快速增長是生物多樣性削減的緣由。故選A。答案：A10.Howisthefutureofpolarbears?A.Uncertain. B.Hopeful.C.Doubtful. D.Unsatisfying.解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)最終一段的“withsomeanimals—mostfamouslypolarbears—alreadyindeclineduetorisingtemperaturesandchangingweatherpatterns”可知,氣候改變在將來的幾十年將成為生物滅亡的主要因素。由于氣溫上升,氣候改變,一些動物,比如最聞名的北極熊,已經(jīng)在削減。因此推斷北極熊的將來是令人不滿足的。故選D。答案：D11.Whatisthemainideaofthepassage?A.Allanimalsarenowendangered.B.Wildlifehabitatlossistooserious.C.Thewildlifeextinctionisspeedingup.D.Backboneanimalsaredecreasingslowly.解析：主旨大意題。結(jié)合文章首段中出現(xiàn)的詞extinction以及全文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要講解并描述了野生動物面臨滅亡的緣由。故選C。答案：CD12Itisalso,perhaps,thegentlest(最和順的),butnotalways!

1.A.growing B.migrating C.competing D.disappearing解析：grow生長;migrate遷移;compete競爭;disappear消逝。依據(jù)第一段第一句“Wildlifehasbeengreatlythreatenedinthemodernage.”和最終一句提到的“thespeciesfromgoingoutofexistence”可以推知,野生動物正在遭遇巨大威逼,每天都有一些物種滅亡,即“消逝”。故選D。答案：D2.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種消逝,那么該句應指科學家們正在全力以赴挽救這些物種,使它們免于滅亡。故選B。答案：B3.A.abortion B.recreation C.reproduction D.administration解析：abortion墮胎;recreation消遣;reproduction繁殖;administration管理。上文提到科學家們?nèi)σ愿巴炀让媾R滅亡的物種,由此推知,該處應指Chris和Tim幫助瀕危物種繁殖,增加它們的數(shù)量,這樣它們才不至于滅亡。故應指“繁殖”,故選C。答案：C4.A.care B.eye C.mind D.story解析：care照看;eye眼睛;mind思想;story故事。自從2004年,Emma始終由Chris和Tim照看。該空和下一句中的“humancaretaker”呼應。故選A。答案：A5.A.found B.chosen C.raised D.seized解析：find發(fā)覺;choose選擇;raise撫養(yǎng);seize抓住。依據(jù)空后的“humancaretakers”可知,caretaker是照看Emma的。句意:誕生在一個國際鶴基地,Emma由人類撫養(yǎng)照看。故選C。答案：C6.A.bonus B.consequence C.victory D.sacrifice解析：bonus獎金;consequence結(jié)果;victory成功;sacrifice犧牲。依據(jù)空后的though(盡管)可知,though前后的兩個句子之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關系。后面提到,她過得很快樂。依據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折關系推斷,前文應當表示“但是這導致了出乎意料的結(jié)果”。故選B。答案：B7.A.never B.always C.unluckily D.cheerfully解析：never從未;always總是;unluckily不幸運地;cheerfully開心地。依據(jù)下文中的“becomedeeplyattachedtohumans…even…killingsomeofthem”等內(nèi)容可知,因為Emma始終由人類照看,所以她沒有將自己看作一只鶴,而是深深地依戀上了人類。故選A。答案：A8.A.liked B.refused C.decided D.hesitated解析：like喜愛;refuse拒絕;decide確定;hesitate遲疑。依據(jù)上文可知,Emma沒把自己當作鶴,所以她“拒絕”和雄鶴生活在一起。故選B。答案：B9.A.gift B.skill C.concern D.reputation解析：gift禮物;skill技巧;concern擔憂;reputation名聲。依據(jù)even(甚至)這個表示遞進關系的詞可知,Emma不僅拒絕和雄鶴生
