（本卷满分100分）

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）

A

Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth’s wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit(居住) is now more important than ever.

Dodo

The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth’s biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island’s trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.

Rhinos

The Rhino(犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves(保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).

The Giant Panda

The future of the World Wildlife Fund’s symbol is far from certain. As few as 1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose(造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.

Whales

The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world’s oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries(保护区), 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions(碰撞事故) with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.

Tigers

The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

1. Which group of the following animals has already died out according to the text?

A. The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.

B. The Rhino, Whale and the South China tiger.

C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.

D. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.

2. ________can serve as a cure for certain diseases.

A. The Dodo’s delicious meat

B. The panda’s black and white patched coat

C. The whale’s rich oil

D. The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs

3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.

B. The whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund.

C. People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.

D. Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.

4. Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?

A. The way of their life.

B. Why they are hunted.

C. The reason for their extinction or being in danger.

D. Punishment for hunting wild animals.

B

A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee(大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states—meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction”, according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.

U.S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.

The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.

5. How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered?

A. 13.   B. 28.   C. 48.   D. 50.

6. Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee?

A. Planting native plants.   B. Reducing the use of pesticide products.

C. Leaving plants alone.   D. Cutting out plants regularly.

7. What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text?

A. All the states declared it as endangered species.

B. It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly.

C. It is beneficial to land owners.

D. It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.

8. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Bumblebee added to U.S. endangered species list

B. Why is bumblebee on the brink of extinction

C. Take steps to help bumblebee

D. The benefits of protecting bumblebee

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years.   9   Each species(物种) on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.

In recent decades, a series of wildlife-protection movements have been carried out by the central government.   10   The giant panda and the crested ibis are among these success stories.

The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s. It now totals 1,864 thanks to 52 protection areas.   11   By the end of last year, seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild.   12   In 1981, only seven crested ibises were found in Yangxian county, Shaanxi Province. Since then, breeding programs have helped the population reach 2,000. China has even sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years, to help with the species’ survival.

  13   Key projects will be continually carried out to improve protection, including making the lists of wild animals and plants under State protection, and also fighting against illegal wildlife trade, which includes ivory(象牙).

A. As environmental damage has increased, signs of change have appeared around the world.

B. Another species was once thought to be extinct.

C. Scientists have worked to feed pandas and then release them into the wild.

D. People call for immediate protection of the remaining species.

E. Several species in danger of extinction have made impressive progress thanks to the methods.

F. China will continue its efforts of the wildlife protection.

G. Protecting wildlife is, without doubt, an important part.

必修二 Unit4 Wildlife protection

英 语（二）答案

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）

【答案】1-4 ADBC

【解析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了五种比较典型的“已经灭绝的和濒临灭绝的动物”并探究其原因。

1. 细节理解题。根据Dodo下面的一段的“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681”一句可判断Dodo是灭绝的动物之一，再根据最后一段中的“The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct.”一句可得出正确答案。渡渡鸟、巴厘虎、爪哇虎和里海虎是灭绝的动物，故选A。

2. 细节理解题。文章的第三段Rhinos “The Rhino(犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine.”和最后一段提到“The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines.”可知，“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”被认为有很高的药用价值。故选D。

3. 细节理解题。从第四段The Giant Panda中的“The future of the World Wildlife Fund’s symbol is far from certain. ”一句可得知“世界野生动物基金”的图案标记是“大熊猫”，而不是“鲸”，故B项是错误的。

4. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger.”可知，下文介绍灭绝物种和濒危动物。第二段最后一句“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.”，第三段最后一句“Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers”。第四段的最后一句“the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.”，第五段中的第二句“Despite the fact that one-third the world’s oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries(保护区),7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered.”，第六段中的“The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction... Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive.”，由此可推断出本文讲述这些野生动物灭绝或处于危险中的原因。故选C。

【答案】5-8 CDCA

【解析】本文是说明文。文章阐明了在美国濒临灭绝的锈迹大黄蜂的情况，倡导采取保护措施，并说明了灭绝的原因。

5.细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “The rusty patched bumblebee is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states—meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii.” 可知，锈迹大黄蜂是48个州中第一个被宣布濒临灭绝的物种，这意味着除了阿拉斯加和夏威夷以外的每一个州都是如此。由此可知，有48个州宣布锈迹大黄蜂濒临灭绝。故选C。

6.推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.” 可知，官员们还建议园丁们在夏末的时候不要去修剪它们，而是让它们自由生长。这样，蜜蜂就有地方过冬了。由此推知，定期剪植物对锈迹大黄蜂是有害的。故选D。

7.推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free.” 可知，这些昆虫能直接给许多水果和蔬菜作物施肥，并且还为喂牛和奶牛的谷物施肥，人工复制蜜蜂这些免费的工作要花费数十亿美元。由此推知，锈迹大黄蜂对土地的主人是有益的。故选C。

8.主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句可知，鱼类和野生动物管理局说锈迹大黄蜂被列入濒危物种名单，部分原因是栖息地丧失。由此可知，Bumblebee added to U.S. endangered species list即大黄蜂加入了美国濒危物种名单适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

【答案】9-13 GECBF

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在过去的70年里，中国在环境保护方面取得了很大的进步。保护野生动物无疑是重要的一环节。

9.根据前文China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years.可知，在过去的70年里，中国在环境保护方面取得了很大的进步。再根据后文Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.可知，地球上的每一个物种都在生态系统中扮演着重要的角色。由此可知，G项（保护野生动物无疑是重要的一环节）切题。故选G。

10.根据前文In recent decades, a series of wildlife-protection movements have been carried out by the central government.可知，近几十年来，中央政府开展了一系列的野生动物保护活动。由此可知，E项（一些濒临灭绝的物种由于采取了这些保护措施而取得了令人瞩目的进展）切题。故选E。

11.根据后文By the end of last year, seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild.可知到去年年底，放归的9只大熊猫中有7只在野外存活。由此可知，C项（科学家们一直致力于照顾和喂养大熊猫，然后将它们放归野外）切题。故选C。

12.根据设空处后文可知，1981年，在陕西省的洋县，只发现七只凤头鹦鹉。而后繁殖计划使得其数量达到2000。近些年来，为了保护该物种，中国甚至将朱鹮送往日本和韩国。由此可知，B项（另一个物种曾经被认为已经灭绝）切题。故选B。

13.设空处下文强调，继续实施重点保护工程，包括制定国家保护野生动植物名录，打击包括象牙在内的非法野生动物贸易。由此可知，F项（中国将继续加强野生动物保护）切题。故选F。
