只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 4 Wildlife protection Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·沈阳市高三教学质量检测)In 2013 alone at least 20，000 African elephants were killed for their teeth.In South Africa over the last two years more than 2， 200 rhinos were killed for their horns.These numbers are alarming，because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates，which could lead to extinction of these ecologically important creatures in the environment.Indeed，some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade. If you are reading this，you may already be aware of these facts.But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(非法交易) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species，such as tigers，tortoises，sea turtles，and the world's most trafficked mammal (哺乳动 物)—pangolins. Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in touch scales(鳞)， which makes them look very strong.But actually they are endangered mammals.There are eight different species of pangolins，four in Asia and four in Africa，and all are threatened with extinction.Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live，high demand in East Asia，where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines，is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts.The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking.Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild.It is estimated that between 40，000 and 81，250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone. In February，the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking， which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife，including pangolins.We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan；building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife；raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade. Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (Marcia 3) by spreading the plan.Use social media and tell everyone that now it is time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species，big and small，from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin. 【语篇解读】 由于人们的捕猎，一些物种濒临灭绝。本文呼吁人们行动起来，保护濒 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 危物种。 1．How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?

Black bears，on the other hand，have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples， when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now.Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety，the article said. “We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders，especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood，” Forrest Hammond，Vermont Fish and Wildlife's bear biologist，said in the article.“Due to lack of snow and frozen ground，birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods.” Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation(冬眠)，noted Hammond in the article.This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes，and also hides them from predators. 【语篇解读】 随着冬季降雪，很多动物进入冬眠期。但是，由于受厄尔尼诺现象的影 响，北美一些地区降雪量减少，使得一些动物无法正常冬眠。 5．What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Nino? A．Their being caught more easily. B．Their failing to gather more food. C．Their consuming more energy. D．Their losing sight of their enemies. A [细节理解题。依据第二段的“Others，like snowshoe hares，are put at center stage in predators'(捕食者) view when they lack snow for disguising their white fur” 可知，没有足够的雪来伪装白靴兔白色的皮毛，这使得它们很容易被捕食者发现。由此可知， 因为厄尔尼诺现象，它们更容易被捕捉到了。] 6．Why did the officials ask people to keep bird feeders until snow falls? A．They may disturb bears. B．There's no need to do so. C．To avoid attracting bears. D．For the safety of bears. C [推理判断题。第三段开头提到往年这个时候，黑熊通常都已经待在冬眠的窝里了， 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 但现在它们却忙着收集坚果和苹果，再根据“Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety”可知，暂时不把喂鸟器拿出来是为了不招来熊。故选 C 项。] 7．What do the bear biologist's words imply? A．A heavy snow is on the way. B．Bears are common nowadays. C．Bears live mainly on birds in winter. D．Warm weather benefits birds in winter. D [推理判断题。依据第四段的尾句“Due to lack of snow and frozen ground，birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods.”可知，由于 缺乏雪和冻土，鸟类可以在田野和森林中觅食，因此暖冬对鸟类的生存有利，故选 D 项。] 8．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage? A．Warm Weather Helps Animals Survive B．Snow Amounts Determine Animals' Winter Life C．Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife D．Lack of Snow Affects North American Animals D [标题归纳题。作者在首段中先提出气候变暖对北美动物有影响，下文以白靴兔和黑 熊为例进行具体说明，因此 D 项作文章标题最佳。] Ⅱ.完形填空 (2017·湖南省东部六校高三联考)I was about to open the door of my car when I saw a man approaching.The man pointed a(n) 1 at me.“Give me your purse！” “I don't have a purse，”I said.
