The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter, a child he adored, he and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss, but, as he said:“Ten months later, we had another little girl — and she died in five days.” This double misfortunes was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it,” this father told us.“I couldn’t sleep;I couldn’t eat;I couldn’t rest or relax.My nerves were completely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip.He tried both, but neither remedy helped.He felt his world fell apart.The tension of grief — if you have ever been attacked by sorrow, you know what he meant. “But luckily, I had one child left — a four-year-old son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked:‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow! I had to give in.” Building that toy boat took about three hours.By the time it was finished, I realised that those three hours spent building that boat were the first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! “That discovery drove me out of despair and caused me to do a bit of thinking — the first real thinking I had done in months.I realised that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.” No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day.When he was asked if he worried about his great responsibilities, he said:“I’m too busy.I have no time for worry.”1.How did Marion J.Douglas’s feeling change according to Paragraph 2? ( )A.excited→sad→hopeless B.hopeless→excited→sadC.sad→hopeless→excited D.sad→excited→hopeless2.Which proved to be effective in improving Marion J.Douglas’s situation?( )A.Going on a trip. B.Going to doctors.C.Building a toy boat. D.Taking sleeping pills.3.How did Marion J.Douglas react to his son’s request?( )A.He refused it politely. B.He refused it impatiently.C.He accepted it unwillingly. D.He accepted it with pleasure.4.What was Marion J.Douglas’s secret of dealing with his problem?( )A.Playing with his son. B.Focusing on some work.C.Taking exercise regularly. D.Increasing his social contact.B (2024·太原高二下質檢)While human population has doubled since 1970, the number of wild animals have dropped by more than half.At its root, this widespread environmental destruction is a result of our growth as a species and increasing food consumption to sustain ourselves. Although climate change casts a shadow over future conservation efforts, farming is the No.1 threat to wildlife.We have already altered some 75 percent of the ice-free land on this planet. All of this raises the question: How can we eat well without harming wildlife? One simple step we can all take right now that would have a far greater impact than any other: Cut out the grain-fed beef. The inefficiency of feeding livestock grain to turn them into meals for humans makes a diet heavy in animals particularly harsh on the Earth’s resources.For example, in the United States, it takes 25 kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of beef.Pigs have a grain-to-meat-ratio of 9∶1, and chickens are 3∶1. To make matters worse, the grain we feed animals is the leading driver of deforestation (采伐森林) in the tropics.And it’s a hungry beast: our cows, pigs, and chickens devour over one-third of all crops we grow.Indeed, the grain we feed to animals in the US alone could feed an additional 800 million people if it were eaten by us directly — more than the number of people currently living in hunger. Livestock quietly causes 10 times more deforestation than the palm (棕櫚) oil industry but seems to get about 10 times less media attention.While it’s certainly true that avoiding unsustainable palm oil is a good idea, avoiding eating animals that were raised on grain is an even more effective conservation way. Feeding the world without damaging nature is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces.But with a little foresight, better land governance and some simple meal changes, many of the solutions are at arm’s length.For wildlife’s sake, go forth and enjoy your veggie burgers.5.What is the top reason that leads to the dropping number of wildlife?( )A.Growing crops.B.Climate change.C.Environmental pollution.D.Increasing human population.6.The author gives the example of beef in Paragraph 4 to show .( )A.the high cost of beefB.the great loss of grainC.the great waste of resourcesD.the difficulty in producing beef7.What does the underlined word “devour” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?( )A.Get something easily.B.Eat something quickly.C.Ruin something heavily.D.Waste something seriously.8.What can we infer from Paragraph 6?( )A.It doesn’t matter to consume palm oil.B.People haven’t realised the harm of livestock.C.Media pays little attention to the palm oil industry.D.The palm oil industry does more harm than livestock.Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·嘉興高二下期末)Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest.But after challenging a(n) 9 path last April, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.

The big day came at last.After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly.On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared.Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa.They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly,“Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain.A helpless expression flashed on his face.Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever.But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔強地),“I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way.Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time.They sat together and chatted about what had happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest.Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers.Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom.He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs.The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs ...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up.This made them worried.“We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Jack said.“Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested.“But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head. Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind.“Why not make a cane out of a young tree?”注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.

The topic of my speech today is “It’s Everyone’s Duty to Protect the Giant Panda”. The giant panda, known as the national treasure of China, is also regarded as one of the symbols of China.It mainly lives in China’s Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.There are only less than two thousand giant pandas living in the wild now, which are in great danger of dying out and are named as first class national protected animals. It’s high time that we took effective measures to protect the giant pandas.First of all, we should choose green lifestyle and reduce pollution; secondly, we ought to protect the environment and never cut down the forests; lastly, we can also donate money to WWF. Thank you for your listening!Ⅳ. Berlin thought it was a good idea.When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandfather’s house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods.Jack said,“What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick?” Berlin thought for a moment and said,“I think we should choose a straight tree.” Jack nodded his head in agreement.They found a straight tree and set to work.They cut the tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off.It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and was just of the right size.They thought Grandpa would love it. Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.When Grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with joy, thinking,“This is made by my grandsons themselves.How precious it is!” Jack said, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.” Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed.He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand.He stood up with strength on his legs.Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up.At that moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandfather’s eye.6 / 6Section Ⅲ Using LanguagePart Ⅰ Discuss what best represents a place 聽說課前清障 ——排除疑難,胸有成竹1.talk about 談論2.start with 從……開始3.your pick 你的選擇4.the Bay of Islands 群島灣5.boat cruises 乘船航行6.hiking tours 徒步旅游7.explore the small towns 探索小城鎮8.their rich history 它們的豐富歷史9.water activities 水上活動10.a popular tourist destination一個熱門旅游目的地11.plenty of great wildlife很多很棒的野生動物12.along the beaches 沿著海灘13.the geothermal parks 地熱公園14.hot springs 溫泉15.geysers 間歇泉16.bubbling mud 泡沫泥漿17.sulphuric pools 硫磺池18.one of the most amazing places最神奇的地方之一19.be truly unique to New Zealand是新西蘭獨有的20.choose a particular place 選擇一個特定的地方21.a flock of sheep 一群羊22.not necessarily a place 不一定是一個地方23.go bungee jumping 去蹦極24.experience its culture 體驗它的文化 話題聽力提能 ——捕捉信息,精準判斷聽下面3段對話或獨白。每段對話或獨白后有幾個小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個選項中選出最佳選項。聽每段對話或獨白前,你將有時間閱讀各個小題,每小題5秒鐘;聽完后,各小題將給出5秒鐘的作答時間。每段對話或獨白讀兩遍。聽第1段材料,回答第1、2題。1.Where will the speakers visit castles?( )A.In Bulgaria.

D.It finds food by using electrical sensors in its bill.Step 1 品教材課文 Step 2 析寫作手法THE AMAZING ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA Our topic today is “Creatures Unique to Australia”, with questions answered by wildlife expert, Dr Jim Smith. Australia has lots of unique animals, but which animal is a symbol of the country? [1]It has to be the kangaroo, as it has a wide distribution throughout the country. It’s a tough animal that has to survive in a difficult environment.Also, it cannot walk backwards, so it is always moving forwards.This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians as individuals and as a nation.Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes at birth.They then find their way into their mother’s pouch — a kind of pocket — to stay safe and warm.They sleep and drink milk in that temporary, protected environment until they are about seven or eight months old.After this phase, they go out to try their legs.After they learn to jump, they gradually spend less time with their mother and learn to be independent.Kangaroos may look cute, but encounters with them don’t always end so well.Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you see some kangaroos, remember they’re not for petting! [1]這是一個復合句。句中as引導原因狀語從句。 Koalas are cute, and we see so many pictures of people holding them.But in many places in Australia, it is against the law to even touch them.Can you clarify that? [2]They are really quite cute, but the truth is, koalas are very sensitive creatures who can easily panic because of even small changes in their environment. They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping, and hanging onto tree trunks, so interaction with humans can cause them a lot of stress.Because of this, the government began to make laws against touching koalas, in the interest of animal protection, as well as public safety.So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn’t approach it to pick it up or even touch it.If you want to hold a koala, you have to go to certain licensed zoos where animal experts make sure that the koalas selected for each session are in a good state for human contact and that they are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency of occasions. [2]這是一個由but連接的并列句。在第二個分句中who引導定語從句,修飾先行詞creatures。 學語言: 整個語篇語言風格輕松活潑,即便是在回答問題的描述中也采取了互動性很強的語言結構或句式,不斷調動讀者的閱讀興趣,比如:“Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you see some kangaroos,remember they’re not for petting!” “So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn’t ...” “Frightening!” “Do you know what’s really strange about a platypus?”等。這樣的寫作手法大大增加了語篇的趣味性,也更好地起到了科普小品文的作用,能夠更好地激發讀者的興趣,更多地了解知識、親近自然。 文章第一句中使用了with復合結構(with questions answered by wildlife expert);在描述袋鼠時使用了定語從句(that has to survive in a difficult environment),過去分詞作定語(protected environment);在描述考拉時使用了動詞-ing形式復合結構作賓語(people holding them);在描述塔斯馬尼亞惡魔時使用了which引導的定語從句(which aren’t so cute),過去分詞短語作后置定語(called the Tasmanian devil);在描述鴨嘴獸時使用了while引導的讓步狀語從句(While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird)等,這些高級句式和語法的運用使得文章精彩紛呈。 學結構: 本文是一篇問答式的專欄文章,以新媒體語篇形態呈現。 語篇以問題為線索,串聯呈現了澳大利亞一些特有動物的有趣內容,甚至還有一些“冷知識”,帶給讀者較為新穎的閱讀視角和體驗。續表Step 1 品教材課文 Step 2 析寫作手法 So, we’ve talked about some cute animals.What about animals which aren’t so cute? My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil.If you are out camping in Tasmania and come across one, the experience might scare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night, so you won’t usually see them, but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting or eating.The noise they make could wake the dead.Frightening! They are about the size of small dogs and look like rather large black rats.They also have a terrible smell! Their diet is mostly dead animals.Fortunately, despite their name, they are generally not violent towards people. Australia also has some animals that many people have never heard of, for example, the duck-billed platypus.Is that some kind of bird? Not at all.While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird, it’s really a primitive mammal, with a unique biology.Its eggs hatch after about ten days, and then the baby platypus nurses from its mother like all other mammals.Its nose looks like a duck’s bill, and it has feet like a duck’s so it can dive under the water, but it’s covered in hair.Do you know what’s really strange about a platypus? The platypus doesn’t use its senses of sight or smell to find food.It has a capacity to find food in the water by using electrical sensors in its bill.There are only a small handful of animals in the world that can do that! 本文的第一個問題是關于澳大利亞的象征——袋鼠。專家借此問題向讀者詳細介紹袋鼠。除了一些特征和習性方面的介紹,專家還詼諧地提醒袋鼠具有攻擊性,需要小心。 本文的第二個問題引入了澳大利亞的另一標志性動物——考拉。專家從考拉的“性格”特點入手,分析了考拉為什么不能讓人們隨便觸摸和擁抱的原因。 本文的第三個問題談到了不一定那么討人喜歡的動物代表——塔斯馬尼亞惡魔。專家用風趣的語言告訴讀者,這種外形欠佳的動物有著“只聞其聲”的特點,而且體味也很難聞。盡管它被稱為“惡魔”,但其實對人還算“溫柔”。 本文的最后一個問題介紹了人們通常不太關注到的動物代表——鴨嘴獸。專家介紹了這種動物的“跨界”特征和一些特別的外貌特點。【參考譯文】澳大利亞神奇的動物 我們今天的話題是“澳大利亞特有的生物”,由野生動物專家吉姆·史密斯博士回答問題。 澳大利亞擁有眾多獨一無二的動物,但哪種動物才是這個國家的象征呢? 毫無疑問是袋鼠,因為這種動物廣泛分布于全國。袋鼠是一種強壯的動物,生存于惡劣的環境中。此外,它不會倒退行走,所以總是勇往直前。這表達了澳大利亞人作為個體和民族的力量與決心。袋鼠寶寶出生時只有兩克重。然后,它們會鉆進母親的育兒袋——一種口袋——以保持安全和溫暖。它們在這個臨時性、受保護的環境中睡覺和吃奶,直到七八個月大。在這個階段之后,它們會出去試試腿力。學會跳躍之后,它們與母親相處的時間就會逐步減少,學會獨立。袋鼠可能看起來十分可愛,但與它們邂逅的結局并不總是那么美好。袋鼠的踢打相當有力,所以大家要小心,如果你們看到袋鼠,要記住它們不是用來愛撫的! 考拉非常可愛,我們可以看到很多人抱著它們的照片。但是在澳大利亞的許多地方,即便碰一下它們都是違法的。你能說明一下這點嗎? 考拉確實十分可愛,但事實是,考拉是非常敏感的動物,即便只是環境中的微小變化都會讓它們驚慌失措。它們大部分時間都在吃東西、睡覺和掛在樹干上,所以與人類互動會給它們帶來極大的壓力。因此,政府開始立法禁止觸摸考拉,也是出于對保護動物和公共安全的考慮。所以,如果你在野外看到一只考拉,你不要靠近它去把它抱起來或即便是去觸摸它。如果你想要抱一抱考拉,你必須去那些獲得正式許可的動物園,在那里動物專家會確保為每場互動而選出的考拉狀態良好,可以與人接觸,而且只在有限的時間內,以有限的次數與人互動。 我們已經談了一些可愛的動物,那么,不太可愛的動物呢? 我最喜歡的是一種被稱為塔斯馬尼亞惡魔的小動物。如果你在塔斯馬尼亞野外露營時遇到一只,那經歷可能會嚇到你!塔斯馬尼亞惡魔在夜間捕食,所以你通常不會看到它們,然而當它們打架或者吃東西時,你會聽到它們震耳的嚎叫聲。它們發出來的噪音能把死人叫醒。十分恐怖!它們個頭跟小狗差不多,看起來像只大黑鼠。它們身上還有一股難聞的氣味!它們的食物主要是動物的尸體。幸運的是,盡管它們名為“惡魔”,但是它們基本上對人類沒有攻擊性。 澳大利亞還有一些許多人從未聽說過的動物,例如鴨嘴獸。那是某種鳥嗎?完全不是。雖然鴨嘴獸可以像鳥一樣在巢中產卵,但它實際上是一種原始的哺乳動物,具有罕見的生物特性。它的蛋大約十天后孵化出來,然后新生鴨嘴獸像其他所有哺乳動物一樣由母親哺乳。它的鼻子看起來像鴨嘴,腳也跟鴨子的一樣,所以它可以潛到水下,但它渾身都是毛。你知道鴨嘴獸真正奇怪的地方是什么嗎?鴨嘴獸并非用視覺或嗅覺來覓食。它擁有一種能用嘴里的電傳感器在水中找到食物的能力。世界上具備這一能力的動物屈指可數!Step

Australia has lots of unique animals, but which animal is asymbol of the country? [1]It has to be the kangaroo, as it has a wide distribution throughoutthe country. It’s a tough animal that has to survive in a difficultenvironment.Also, it cannot walk backwards, so it is always movingforwards.This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians asindividuals and as a nation.Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes atbirth.They then find their way into their mother’s pouch — a kind ofpocket — to stay safe and warm.They sleep and drink milk in thattemporary, protected environment until they are about seven or eightmonths old.After this phase, they go out to try their legs.After they learnto jump, they gradually spend less time with their mother and learn to beindependent.Kangaroos may look cute, but encounters with them don’talways end so well.Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so pleasefolks, if you see some kangaroos, remember they’re not for petting! [1]這是一個復合句。句中as引導原因狀語從句。 Koalas are cute, and we see so many pictures of people holdingthem.But in many places in Australia, it is against the law to eventouch them.Can you clarify that? [2]They are really quite cute, but the truth is, koalas are verysensitive creatures who can easily panic because of even small changes intheir environment.They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping, and hanging onto treetrunks, so interaction with humans can cause them a lot ofstress.Because of this, the government began to make laws againsttouching koalas, in the interest of animal protection, as well as publicsafety.So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn’t approach it topick it up or even touch it.If you want to hold a koala, you have to go tocertain licensed zoos where animal experts make sure that the koalasselected for each session are in a good state for human contact and thatthey are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency ofoccasions. [2]這是一個由but連接的并列句。在第二個分句中who引導定語從句,修飾先行詞creatures。 So, we’ve talked about some cute animals.What about animalswhich aren’t so cute?My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil.If youare out camping in Tasmania and come across one, the experience mightscare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night, so you won’t usually seethem, but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting oreating.The noise they make could wake the dead.Frightening! They areabout the size of small dogs and look like rather large black rats.They alsohave a terrible smell! Their diet is mostly dead animals.Fortunately,despite their name, they are generally not violent towards people.Australia also has some animals that many people have never heard of, for example, the duck-billed platypus.Is that some kind ofbird?Not at all.While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird, it’s really aprimitive mammal, with a unique biology.Its eggs hatch after about tendays, and then the baby platypus nurses from its mother like all othermammals.Its nose looks like a duck’s bill, and it has feet like aduck’s so it can dive under the water, but it’s covered in hair.Do youknow what’s really strange about a platypus? The platypus doesn’t useits senses of sight or smell to find food.It has a capacity to find food in thewater by using electrical sensors in its bill.There are only a small handfulof animals in the world that can do that!Step 2 析寫作手法學語言: 整個語篇語言風格輕松活潑,即便是在回答問題的描述中也采取了互動性很強的語言結構或句式,不斷調動讀者的閱讀興趣,比如:“Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you seesome kangaroos,remember they’re not for petting!” “So, if yousee one in the wild, you shouldn’t ...” “Frightening!” “Do youknow what’s really strange about a platypus?”等。這樣的寫作手法大大增加了語篇的趣味性,也更好地起到了科普小品文的作用,能夠更好地激發讀者的興趣,更多地了解知識、親近自然。 文章第一句中使用了with復合結構(with questions answered bywildlife expert);在描述袋鼠時使用了定語從句(that has to survive ina difficult environment),過去分詞作定語(protected environment);在描述考拉時使用了動詞-ing形式復合結構作賓語(people holdingthem);在描述塔斯馬尼亞惡魔時使用了which引導的定語從句(which aren’t so cute),過去分詞短語作后置定語(called theTasmanian devil);在描述鴨嘴獸時使用了while引導的讓步狀語從句(While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird)等,這些高級句式和語法的運用使得文章精彩紛呈。學結構: 本文是一篇問答式的專欄文章,以新媒體語篇形態呈現。 語篇以問題為線索,串聯呈現了澳大利亞一些特有動物的有趣內容,甚至還有一些“冷知識”,帶給讀者較為新穎的閱讀視角和體驗。 本文的第一個問題是關于澳大利亞的象征——袋鼠。專家借此問題向讀者詳細介紹袋鼠。除了一些特征和習性方面的介紹,專家還詼諧地提醒袋鼠具有攻擊性,需要小心。 本文的第二個問題引入了澳大利亞的另一標志性動物——考拉。專家從考拉的“性格”特點入手,分析了考拉為什么不能讓人們隨便觸摸和擁抱的原因。本文的第三個問題談到了不一定那么討人喜歡的動物代表——塔斯馬尼亞惡魔。專家用風趣的語言告訴讀者,這種外形欠佳的動物有著“只聞其聲”的特點,而且體味也很難聞。盡管它被稱為“惡魔”,但其實對人還算“溫柔”。 本文的最后一個問題介紹了人們通常不太關注到的動物代表——鴨嘴獸。專家介紹了這種動物的“跨界”特征和一些特別的外貌特點。【參考譯文】澳大利亞神奇的動物 我們今天的話題是“澳大利亞特有的生物”,由野生動物專家吉姆·史密斯博士回答問題。 毫無疑問是袋鼠,因為這種動物廣泛分布于全國。袋鼠是一種強壯的動物,生存于惡劣的環境中。此外,它不會倒退行走,所以總是勇往直前。這表達了澳大利亞人作為個體和民族的力量與決心。袋鼠寶寶出生時只有兩克重。然后,它們會鉆進母親的育兒袋——一種口袋——以保持安全和溫暖。它們在這個臨時性、受保護的環境中睡覺和吃奶,直到七八個月大。在這個階段之后,它們會出去試試腿力。學會跳躍之后,它們與母親相處的時間就會逐步減少,學會獨立。袋鼠可能看起來十分可愛,但與它們邂逅的結局并不總是那么美好。袋鼠的踢打相當有力,所以大家要小心,如果你們看到袋鼠,要記住它們不是用來愛撫的! 澳大利亞擁有眾多獨一無二的動物,但哪種動物才是這個國家的象征呢? 考拉非常可愛,我們可以看到很多人抱著它們的照片。但是在澳大利亞的許多地方,即便碰一下它們都是違法的。你能說明一下這點嗎? 考拉確實十分可愛,但事實是,考拉是非常敏感的動物,即便只是環境中的微小變化都會讓它們驚慌失措。它們大部分時間都在吃東西、睡覺和掛在樹干上,所以與人類互動會給它們帶來極大的壓力。因此,政府開始立法禁止觸摸考拉,也是出于對保護動物和公共安全的考慮。所以,如果你在野外看到一只考拉,你不要靠近它去把它抱起來或即便是去觸摸它。如果你想要抱一抱考拉,你必須去那些獲得正式許可的動物園,在那里動物專家會確保為每場互動而選出的考拉狀態良好,可以與人接觸,而且只在有限的時間內,以有限的次數與人互動。 我們已經談了一些可愛的動物,那么,不太可愛的動物呢? 我最喜歡的是一種被稱為塔斯馬尼亞惡魔的小動物。如果你在塔斯馬尼亞野外露營時遇到一只,那經歷可能會嚇到你!塔斯馬尼亞惡魔在夜間捕食,所以你通常不會看到它們,然而當它們打架或者吃東西時,你會聽到它們震耳的嚎叫聲。它們發出來的噪音能把死人叫醒。十分恐怖!它們個頭跟小狗差不多,看起來像只大黑鼠。它們身上還有一股難聞的氣味!它們的食物主要是動物的尸體。幸運的是,盡管它們名為“惡魔”,但是它們基本上對人類沒有攻擊性。 澳大利亞還有一些許多人從未聽說過的動物,例如鴨嘴獸。那是某種鳥嗎? 完全不是。雖然鴨嘴獸可以像鳥一樣在巢中產卵,但它實際上是一種原始的哺乳動物,具有罕見的生物特性。它的蛋大約十天后孵化出來,然后新生鴨嘴獸像其他所有哺乳動物一樣由母親哺乳。它的鼻子看起來像鴨嘴,腳也跟鴨子的一樣,所以它可以潛到水下,但它渾身都是毛。你知道鴨嘴獸真正奇怪的地方是什么嗎?鴨嘴獸并非用視覺或嗅覺來覓食。它擁有一種能用嘴里的電傳感器在水中找到食物的能力。世界上具備這一能力的動物屈指可數!Step 3 背出彩佳句第一段:簡要介紹這種動物及其外表特征1. This is a cute animal, which is loved by most kids.這是一種可愛的動物,受到大多數孩子的喜愛。2. The animal has a thin face with two big and bright eyes on it.這種動物有一張瘦瘦的臉,臉上有兩個大而明亮的眼睛。3.

Let’s make joint efforts to protect the endangered animals!讓我們共同努力保護瀕危動物吧!2. It’s high time that we should live in harmony with nature.到了我們應該與自然和諧相處的時候了。3. Finally, we should let people know the importance of protectingendangered animals.最后,我們應該讓人們知道保護瀕危動物的重要性。4. In the final analysis, to protect wild animals is to protect ourselves.歸根結底,保護野生動物就是保護我們自己。第三段:呼吁人們采取措施保護動物 根據下列提示寫一篇有關瀕危動物金絲猴的短文。 1. 棲息地:中國; 2. 外貌:金黃色,有點灰;尾巴和身體一樣長; 3. 生活環境:海拔1,500-3,000米以上的森林; 4. 生活習性:群居;吃水果、干果;在樹上活動; 5. 它們的數量減少了;呼吁人們保護金絲猴。注意:可以適當增加細節,以使行文連貫。一、合理布局,精心謀篇二、遣詞造句,規范得體1. 金絲猴受到中國政府的保護。(被動語態) 2. 雄性金絲猴大且壯。 3. 雌性金絲猴比較小。(比較級) Golden monkeys are protected by the Chinese government.The male golden monkeys are big and strong.The female golden monkeys are much smaller.4. 金絲猴居住在海拔1,500米至3,000米以上的森林里。(定語從句) 5. 它們喜歡群居。(like doing) 6. 它們以水果、堅果、樹葉等為食物。(feed) 7. 但是現在它們的數量越來越少。(比較級) Golden monkeys live in forests which are 1,500-3,000 metersabove the sea level.They like living in family groups.They feed on fruits, nuts, tree leaves and so on.But now their number is getting smaller and smaller.8. 我們的政府已經建立了一些自然保護區,讓它們生活在受保護的環境中。(過去分詞作定語) 9. 我們希望越來越多的人能認識到保護金絲猴的重要性。(theimportance of) Our government has built some nature reserves to make them live in aprotected environment.We hope more and more people will understand the importance ofprotecting golden monkeys.三、恰當銜接,自然過渡10. 用恰當的并列連詞合并句2和句3。 11. 用恰當的并列連詞合并句5和句6。 The male golden monkeys are big and strong while the female ones aremuch smaller.They like living in family groups and they feed on fruits, nuts, treeleaves and so on.四、認真謄寫,賞心悅目參考范文: Golden monkeys live in China.They are protected by the Chinesegovernment.

The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter, a child headored, he and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss,but, as he said:“Ten months later, we had another little girl — andshe died in five days.” This double misfortunes was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’ttake it,” this father told us.“I couldn’t sleep;I couldn’t eat;Icouldn’t rest or relax.My nerves were completely shaken and myconfidence gone.” At last he went to doctors; one recommendedsleeping pills and another recommended a trip.He tried both, but neitherremedy helped.He felt his world fell apart.The tension of grief — if youhave ever been attacked by sorrow, you know what he meant. “But luckily, I had one child left — a four-year-old son.He gaveme the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorryfor myself, he asked:‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ Iwas in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to doanything.But my son is a persistent little fellow! I had to give in.”Building that toy boat took about three hours.By the time it was finished,I realised that those three hours spent building that boat were the first hoursof mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! “That discovery drove me out of despair and caused me to do a bit ofthinking — the first real thinking I had done in months.I realised that it isdifficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requiresplanning and thinking.” No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill saidwhen he was working eighteen hours a day.When he was asked if heworried about his great responsibilities, he said:“I’m too busy.Ihave no time for worry.”語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過講述Marion J.

Although climate change casts a shadow over future conservationefforts, farming is the No.1 threat to wildlife.We have already alteredsome 75 percent of the ice-free land on this planet. All of this raises the question: How can we eat well without harmingwildlife? One simple step we can all take right now that would have a fargreater impact than any other: Cut out the grain-fed beef. The inefficiency of feeding livestock grain to turn them into meals forhumans makes a diet heavy in animals particularly harsh on the Earth’sresources.For example, in the United States, it takes 25 kilograms ofgrain to produce one kilogram of beef.Pigs have a grain-to-meat-ratio of9∶1, and chickens are 3∶1. To make matters worse, the grain we feed animals is the leadingdriver of deforestation (采伐森林) in the tropics.And it’s a hungrybeast: our cows, pigs, and chickens devour over one-third of all cropswe grow.Indeed, the grain we feed to animals in the US alone could feedan additional 800 million people if it were eaten by us directly — morethan the number of people currently living in hunger. Livestock quietly causes 10 times more deforestation than the palm(棕櫚) oil industry but seems to get about 10 times less mediaattention.While it’s certainly true that avoiding unsustainable palm oil isa good idea, avoiding eating animals that were raised on grain is an evenmore effective conservation way. Feeding the world without damaging nature is one of the greatestchallenges humanity faces.But with a little foresight, better landgovernance and some simple meal changes, many of the solutions are atarm’s length.For wildlife’s sake, go forth and enjoy your veggieburgers.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。世界人口持續增長,可是,野生動物的數量卻一直在減少。這是為什么呢?語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。世界人口持續增長,可是,野生動物的數量卻一直在減少。這是為什么呢?5.

Waste something seriously.解析: 詞義猜測題。根據第五段以及畫線詞所在句可知,牛、豬以及雞應該是“快速吃掉”谷物。8. What can we infer from Paragraph 6?( )A. It doesn’t matter to consume palm oil.B. People haven’t realised the harm of livestock.C. Media pays little attention to the palm oil industry.D. The palm oil industry does more harm than livestock.解析: 推理判斷題。根據第六段可知,作者認為:我們對于棕櫚油行業對森林帶來的破壞報道很多,而對于家畜對森林帶來的間接影響卻關注甚少。Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·嘉興高二下期末)Rene Compean was no stranger toAngeles National Forest.But after challenging a(n) 9 path lastApril, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.

It’s high time that we took effective measures to protect the giantpandas.First of all, we should choose green lifestyle and reducepollution; secondly, we ought to protect the environment and never cutdown the forests; lastly, we can also donate money to WWF.
