Thrughut histry, many species f animals have been threatened with extinctin. When Eurpeans first arrived in Nrth America, mre than 60 millin buffal (水牛) lived n the cntinent. Yet hunting the buffal was s ppular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s ppulatin had fallen t abut 400 befre the gvernment stepped in t prtect the species. In sme cuntries tday, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals fr the ivry in their tusks.
Yet nt all animals with cmmercial value face this threat (威胁).The cw, fr example, is a valuable surce f fd, but n ne wrries that the cw will sn be extinct. Why des the cmmercial value f ivry threaten the elephant. while the cmmercial value f beef prtects the cw?
The reasn is that elephants are a cmmn resurce, while cws are private gds. Elephants wander freely withut any wners. The hunter has a strng mtivatin t kill as many elephants as he can finD. Because illegal hunters are numerus, each has nly a slight mtivatin t preserve the elephant ppulatin. By cntrast, cattle live n farms that are privately wneD. Each farmer makes great effrt t maintain the cattle ppulatin n his farm because he harvests the benefit f these effrts.
Gvernments have tried t slve the elephant’s prblem in tw ways. Sme cuntries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal t kill elephants and sell their ivry. Yet these laws have been hard t put int effect, and elephant ppulatins have cntinued t dwindle. By cntrast, ther cuntries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private gds and allwed peple t kill elephants, but nly thse n their wn prperty.
With private wnership and the prfit mtive nw n its side, the African elephant might smeday be as safe frm extinctin as the cw. The ancient Greek philspher Aristtle pinted ut the prblem with cmmn resurces: “What is cmmn t many is taken least care f, fr all men have greater regard fr what is their wn than fr what they pssess in cmmn with thers.”
5.Why des the authr mentin buffal in paragraph 1?
A.T intrduce a similar threat t elephants.
B.T prvide an example f species extinctin.
C.T ffer an explanatin fr gvernment plicies.
D.T present the statistics f the buffal in America.
6.Why d elephants face threats while cws are safe?
A.They are under different law prtectin
B.They attract different grups f hunters
C.They cntain different cmmercial value
D.They represent different wnership types
7.What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A.Bans n killing elephants fr ivry
B.Effective laws fr elephant prtectin.
C.Methds f making elephants private gds
D.Gvernment plicies n the elephant’s prblem
8.What can we learn frm Aristtle’s wrds?
A.Peple hld little regard fr thers’ prperty
B.Peple want t prfit frm cmmn resurces

D.Peple tend t take what they wn fr granted

4.推理判断题。根据第二段“Living within the 12.5-mile exclusin zne arund the damaged reactr, the tw men, unrelated t ne anther, bth live alne while taking care f dzens f animals that were left behind when the evacuatin rder was given.(这两人住在受损反应堆周围12.5英里（约合1.6公里）的禁区内，彼此毫无关系，两人都独自生活，同时照顾数十只动物，这些动物是在疏散命令下达后被留在那里的)”以及最后一段中“Everything bth Kat and Matsumura are ding is risky.( Kat和Matsumura所做的一切都是有风险的)”可知，辐射区对人是有危害的，但这两个人依然待在里面照顾各种动物，尽管危险，并且家人和朋友希望他们离开，但他们依然不顾自身安危决定留下来。故选D。
（二）
【答案】
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过谈论作为公共资源的大象濒临灭绝，而作为私有财产的饲养牛却能安全生存，说明了人们对私有财产比公共资源更加关心的现象。
5.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet hunting the buffal was s ppular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s ppulatin had fallen t abut 400 befre the gvernment stepped in t prtect the species. In sme cuntries tday, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals fr the ivry in their tusks. (然而，狩猎水牛在19世纪是如此流行，以至于到了1900年，野牛的数量已经下降到大约400只，直到政府介入保护这个物种。今天在一些国家，大象也面临着类似的挑战，因为非法捕猎者为了获取象牙而捕杀这种动物。)”可知，作者之所以提到水牛，是为了介绍大象所面临的类似威胁。故选A项。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reasn is that elephants are a cmmn resurce, while cws are private gds. (原因是大象是一种公共资源，而牛是私人物品。)”和“Elephants wander freely withut any wners. The hunter has a strng mtivatin t kill as many elephants as he can fin

D. Each farmer makes great effrt t maintain the cattle ppulatin n his farm because he harvests the benefit f these effrts. (相比之下，牛生活在私人拥有的农场上。每个农场主都在努力维持农场的牲畜数量，因为他们收获了这些努力的成果。)”可知，之所以大象面临威胁，而奶牛是安全的，是因为它们各自代表着不同的所有权类型。故选D项。
7.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Gvernments have tried t slve the elephant’s prblem in tw ways. Sme cuntries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal t kill elephants and sell their ivry. (各国政府试图通过两种方式来解决大象的问题。一些国家，如肯尼亚和乌干达，已经将猎杀大象和出售象牙定为非法行为。)”以及“By cntrast, ther cuntries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private gds and allwed peple t kill elephants, but nly thse n their wn prperty. (相比之下，其他国家，如马拉维和纳米比亚，则把大象当作私人物品，允许人们猎杀大象，但仅限于在他们自己的领地上。)”可知，第四段通过举例说明各国政府对大象的政策。故选D项。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aristtle所说“What is cmmn t many is taken least care f, fr all men have greater regard fr what is their wn than fr what they pssess in cmmn with thers. (对大多数人来说共同的东西最不被重视，因为所有人都更关心自己的东西，而不是他们与他人共同拥有的东西。)”可以推知，人们更关心自己的财产。故选C项。
（三）
【答案】
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Hrist Hristv一直在研究野生动物，目前在努力继续将欧洲野牛放归野外。
9.细节理解题。根据第一段“At the last cunt, a recrd 245 nw live in the Rhdpe Muntains. (在最近的统计中，记录在案的245只欧亚尤雪现在生活在罗多普山脉)”可知，在罗多普山脉可以看到欧亚尤雪。故选C项。
10.推理判断题。根据第一段“Hrist Hristv has been wrking with wildlife in Bulgaria's remte Rhdpe Muntains fr ver 30 years.(Hrist Hristv 30多年来一直在保加利亚偏远的罗多普山脉研究野生动物)”以及第二段“As a rewilding fficer, Hrist is respnsible fr the welfare f the animals in his area, which means cnstant bservatin, and lengthy perids ut in the wild cnducting research.(作为一名复卷官员，赫里斯托负责他所在地区动物的福利，这意味着要经常观察，并在野外进行长时间的研究)”可知，Hrist Hristv花费30多年的时间研究野生动物，并且要经常观察，所以推测Hrist Hristv献身于野生动物研究，是有耐心的。故选D项。
11.推理判断题。文章前两段讲述了Hrist Hristv渴望增加欧亚尤雪的数量并愿意在野外进行长时间的研究，第三段介绍了东南欧的这一区域中，有许多不同物种共同生存，最后一段讲述Hrist Hristv目前面临的挑战是继续将欧洲野牛放归野外。由此推知，作者在第三段中添加了一些背景信息，为最后一段讲述Hrist Hristv努力将欧洲野牛放归野外设置背景。故选B项。
12.推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2019, several bisn were released int the wild, and three baby bisn have already been brn, tw f thse cming in 2020. At the end f last year, anther tw females were dnated t the prject frm zs in Hungary and Slvakia.
