N ther land mammal (哺乳动物) has quite the view like the giraffe. Standing between 14 and 19 feet, giraffes are the tallest land mammal in the wrld. Their height is an advantage.
Because f their height, gd eyesight and strng kicks, giraffes aren't ften brught dwn, even by lins. Still, giraffes face threats frm humans fr their skin and meat.

Cming up behind the giraffe in the height cmpetitin is the African bush elephant. They weigh abut 6,100 kilgrams—they're even mre difficult t be caught than giraffes. Lins try their best t catch yunger elephants, but ften with little success. Still, the species is cnsidered endangered due t the lss f their hmes that are ccupied by humans.

The Amazn Rainfrest: A Natural Treasure
Welcme t the Amazn rainfrest. As the largest rainfrest in the wrld, it plays a significant rle in maintaining the fine balance f the Earth's ecsystem.
The Amazn rainfrest crsses eight cuntries. With an area f arund 5.5 millin square kilmetres, the Amazn rainfrest is mre than half the size f China. The Amazn River, frm which the rainfrest gets its name, is abut 6,400 kilmetres in length. On its jurney frm the muntains t the cean the river supprts many different ecsystems. 1
Of the 390,000 plant species knwn t man, mre than 40,000 can be fund in the Amazn. The frest's different levels supprt an unbelievable variety f wildlife. At the bttm, there is a system f rts beneath the grund. Abve that is the mass f leaf litter n the dark frest flr. 2 Then there are the twering(高大的) ancient hardwd trees, and finally the tps f the tallest trees many metres abve the grund. Each level f the frest frms its wn little wrld, hme t different kinds f living things.
Mre than 1,300 species f birds and ver 400 species f mammals hide amng the jungle's plant life. The jaguar(美洲虎) is ne example. It has yellwish-brwn cat with black spts. While a significant number f jaguars survive here, they are nly ne element f this frest's fd chain. 3 These frgs, in turn, feed n insects which eat leaves and fruit. When a jaguar dies, a tiny army f micrrganisms(微生物) helps break dwn its bdy and return the nutrients t the earth.
The Amazn rainfrest breathes life int the planet by fixing carbn and prducing ver 20 percent f all the Earth's xygen. 4 Mrever, the Amazn rainfrest is a treasure huse f species that can be used fr fd r medicine. Yet there is ne majr danger t these irreplaceable plants and animals: us.
5 As the impact f human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming cntinues t grw and the list f species in danger f extinctin becmes lnger, we are left with a questin: can we affrd t damage the “lungs f the planet”?
A.They feed n at least 87 species, including frgs.
B.Thus, it is ften knwn as the “lungs f the planet”.
C.Rivers tend t be the easiest way t enter the frest.
D.The next level is made up f shrter plants with large leaves.
E.They give this area the richest species f plants and animals n the Earth.
F.Currently the trees in the Amazn take in arund 500 millin tnnes f CO2 each year.
G.Over the past 50 years, 17 percent f the rainfrest has disappeared due t human activities.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

3.A 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Still, giraffes face threats frm humans fr their skin and meat.”、第五段最后一句“Nw, mst f their living areas have been taken up by man, which has greatly reduced their number.”、倒数第二段最后一句“Still, the species is cnsidered endangered due t the lss f their hmes that are ccupied by humans.”和最后一段最后一句“Despite their impressive size, Arabian camels disappear in the wild due t man's illegal hunting.”等内容可知,这些动物都受到了人类活动的威胁。故选A项。B项“天敌”,文中没有提到相关信息;C项“农业发展”,文中没有提到相关信息;D项“缺少生存区”,文中只提到鸵鸟和非洲丛林象受到缺少生存区的威胁,其他两种动物并未提及。
4.D 主旨大意题。第一、二段提到,所有种类的物种都进化到了适合它们需要的高度,下文以陆地动物为例,第三、四段介绍了陆地上最高的动物长颈鹿,第五段介绍了平均身高为6.6英尺的鸵鸟,第六段介绍了陆地上第二高的动物非洲丛林象,最后一段介绍了骆驼中最高的阿拉伯骆驼,由此可知,文章主要讲地球上最高的陆地动物。故选D项。A项“适合野生动物的身高”;B项“动物身高的原因”;C项“世界上最强壮的哺乳动物”。

2.D 根据上句“Abve that is the mass f leaf litter n the dark frest flr.”和下句“Then there are the twering ancient hardwd trees, and finally the tps f the tallest trees many metres abve the grund.”可知,底层上面是深色森林地面上的落叶层,所以接下来的一层是由长着大叶子的矮植物组成的,然后是高大的古老阔叶树,最后是高出地面许多米的最高树木的顶部。故选D。
3.A 根据上句“While a significant number f jaguars survive here, they are nly ne element f this frest's fd chain.”和下句“These frgs, in turn, feed n insects which eat leaves and fruit.”可知,虽然大量的美洲虎在这里生存,但它们只是这片森林食物链的一部分。它们以至少87个物种为食,包括青蛙,这些青蛙转而以吃树叶和水果的昆虫为食。故选A。
4.B 根据上句“The Amazn rainfrest breathes life int the planet by fixing carbn and prducing ver 20 percent f all the Earth's xygen.”可知,亚马孙雨林通过固定碳和生产地球上20%以上的氧气给地球带来了生机,因此,它经常被称为“地球之肺”。故选B。
5.G 根据下句“As the impact f human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming cntinues t grw and the list f species in danger f extinctin becmes lnger, we are left with a questin: can we affrd t damage the ‘lungs f the planet’?”可知,在过去的50年里,17%的雨林由于人类的活动而消失,随着农业和养牛业等人类活动的影响持续增长并且濒临灭绝的物种的名单越来越长,这就给我们留下一个问题:我们能承担得起破坏“地球之肺”的后果吗?故选G。

1.B 考查过去分词词义。此处与Brwn cluds和wildlife extinctin并列,是三个严重的问题之一,指的是受污染的水,即plluted water。remved去除了的;plluted受污染的;deserted被抛弃的;used使用过的。故选B。
2.D 考查名词词义。根据该段第一句中的“prblems”可知,这些问题看起来都很大。chice选择;cst费用; prfit利润; prblem问题。故选D。

10.D 考查形容词词义。根据空前的“thugh”及空后的“is enugh t tip the balance”可知,尽管总数仍然很小,但足以起决定性作用。significant重大的; reasnable合理的; mass大量的; small小的。故选D。

The Amazn Rainfrest: A Natural Treasure
Welcme t the Amazn rainfrest. As the largest rainfrest in the wrld, it plays a significant rle in maintaining the fine balance f the Earth's ecsystem.
The Amazn rainfrest crsses eight cuntries. With an area f arund 5.5 millin square kilmetres, the Amazn rainfrest is mre than half the size f China. The Amazn River, frm which the rainfrest gets its name, is abut 6,400 kilmetres in length. On its jurney frm the muntains t the cean the river supprts many different ecsystems. 1
Of the 390,000 plant species knwn t man, mre than 40,000 can be fund in the Amazn. The frest's different levels supprt an unbelievable variety f wildlife. At the bttm, there is a system f rts beneath the grund. Abve that is the mass f leaf litter n the dark frest flr. 2 Then there are the twering(高大的) ancient hardwd trees, and finally the tps f the tallest trees many metres abve the grund. Each level f the frest frms its wn little wrld, hme t different kinds f living things.
Mre than 1,300 species f birds and ver 400 species f mammals hide amng the jungle's plant life. The jaguar(美洲虎) is ne example. It has yellwish-brwn cat with black spts. While a significant number f jaguars survive here, they are nly ne element f this frest's fd chain. 3 These frgs, in turn, feed n insects which eat leaves and fruit. When a jaguar dies, a tiny army f micrrganisms(微生物) helps break dwn its bdy and return the nutrients t the earth.
The Amazn rainfrest breathes life int the planet by fixing carbn and prducing ver 20 percent f all the Earth's xygen. 4 Mrever, the Amazn rainfrest is a treasure huse f species that can be used fr fd r medicine. Yet there is ne majr danger t these irreplaceable plants and animals: us.
5 As the impact f human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming cntinues t grw and the list f species in danger f extinctin becmes lnger, we are left with a questin: can we affrd t damage the “lungs f the planet”?
A.They feed n at least 87 species, including frgs.
B.Thus, it is ften knwn as the “lungs f the planet”.
C.Rivers tend t be the easiest way t enter the frest.
D.The next level is made up f shrter plants with large leaves.
E.They give this area the richest species f plants and animals n the Earth.
F.Currently the trees in the Amazn take in arund 500 millin tnnes f CO2 each year.
G.Over the past 50 years, 17 percent f the rainfrest has disappeared due t human activities.

4.D 主旨大意题。第一、二段提到,所有种类的物种都进化到了适合它们需要的高度,下文以陆地动物为例,第三、四段介绍了陆地上最高的动物长颈鹿,第五段介绍了平均身高为6.6英尺的鸵鸟,第六段介绍了陆地上第二高的动物非洲丛林象,最后一段介绍了骆驼中最高的阿拉伯骆驼,由此可知,文章主要讲地球上最高的陆地动物。故选D项。A项“适合野生动物的身高”;B项“动物身高的原因”;C项“世界上最强壮的哺乳动物”。

分析 这是一个主从复合句。As引导时间状语从句;冒号后的内容是a questin的同位语。
