Tw car manufacturing cmpanies in the US have been develping self-driving taxis, smetimes called “rbtaxis”.

Tall, lng-necked giraffes are famus fr their spts which are believed t help the animals hide frm their enemies. Just like n tw humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its wn special pattern f spts. Hwever, a Tennessee z made headlines recently after it welcmed ne f the wrld’s mst uncmmn giraffes.
On July 31, a baby giraffe was brn at Brights Z with light brwn fur which is a reticulated (网状的) giraffe, ne f the fur different kinds f giraffes. Unlike mst giraffes, she was brn withut spts, a unique feature f the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is grwing well under her mther’s care. She shws typical baby giraffe behavir, such as eating rcks.
Experts said the yung giraffe was the nly single-clred reticulated giraffe living anywhere n the planet. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan. A giraffe’s pattern f spts is created when the animal is still grwing inside its mther. That means that this giraffe will never have spts.
“The new giraffe might nt have survived if she had been brn in the wild. Being single-clred, she may nt be able t hide quite as well,” said Mr. David Bright, wh runs the z, “It will easily be a key target fr pachers (偷猎者) because she’s s unusual.”
Brights Z stressed that reticulated giraffes had already becme imperiled. In 2018, they were fficially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ag, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Nw, the number has been cut by mre than 50%. Only abut 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.
This brwn giraffe’s birth is nt nly a rare and fascinating event, but als an pprtunity t raise awareness abut the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supprting effrts like this, we can cntribute t the cnservatin f these large creatures and ensure their survival fr generatins t cme.
12、What d we knw abut the spts f giraffes?
A. They help prtect giraffes.
B. They are the same pattern.
C. They lk like giraffes’ ftprints.
D. They appear n giraffes ccasinally.

C. Its unusual eating habit.D. Its absence f spts.
14、What des the underlined wrd “imperiled” mean in paragraph 5?

15、Which wrd can best describe the birth f the yung giraffe?
A. Awkward.B. Wrrying.C. Meaningful.D. Freseeable.
