The poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.
The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africa's environmental issues minister, says, “During 2014, we are sad to say this: 1，215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying.” The animals are hunted for their horns. Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin. That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails. Ms Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africa's legal system is ineffective. Ms Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year，” Molewa said.
Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “We're talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month. Or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them.

(2024·山東省青島市高一上期末)An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3，080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That's like having 634 cans of soda and 1，200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don't use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number one problem. Poachers (偷獵者) kill 35，000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (柵欄) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa's elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (項圈) with a satellite unit inside，” Dr Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they've agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows，” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.

(2024·山東省淄博市高一上期末)The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud—and only—home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for home loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades, the lions are still considered endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions' future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (圖案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere.
Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精準). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long term lion monitoring，” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (評估) of Gir's lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information—how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.”
Despite the advantages, Banerjee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine，” he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at risk animals，” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”

Should We Create More National
Parks to Save Endangered Animals
Don't you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1(____) And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
2(____) If this environment is destroyed—for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down to make profits—many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 3(____) On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it is wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4(____) They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 5(____) As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.
A．To begin with, animals are important to humans.
B．Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C．I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D．These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E．Firstly, national parks protect these animals' natural environment.
F．They say though the animals may face danger，they enjoy a free life.
G．There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇議論文。文章主要論述了作者支持建立更多的國家公園來拯救瀕危動物及其原因。
1．答案：C
解析：上文“Don't you find ... of becoming extinct？”提出問題，表明作者對動物物種滅絕很擔憂。C項(我個人認為我們必須拯救這些動物。)承接上文。故選C。
2．答案：E
解析：下段首句“In addition ... of being hunted.”提出了國家公園的另一個優點。由此可推知，設空處應為國家公園的第一個優點，E項(首先，國家公園保護這些動物的自然環境。)符合語境。故選E。
3．答案：B
解析：上文“A major reason ... to make money.”介紹物種滅絕的一個原因是獵人為了賺錢。B項(有些獵人甚至只是為了消遣而捕獵動物。)承接上文，介紹獵人獵殺動物的又一個原因。故選B。
4．答案：F
解析：上文“They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment.”指出一些人認為野生動物生活在自然環境中更快樂。F項(他們說，盡管這些動物可能面臨危險，但它們享受著自由的生活。)承接上文。故選F。
5．答案：D
解析：上文“All in all ... national parks.”再次論述作者的觀點，支持通過國家公園來保護瀕危動物。D項(這些公園允許動物生活在一個安全的環境中。)承接上文。故選D。

(2024·安徽省安慶市高一上期末)Two years ago Lucy was saved from a rural area in New South Wales, Australia. Today, she is one of the lucky animals living in rows of trees that have been created to protect koalas and other animals by saving their smaller and smaller habitat, or natural environment.
The trees, planted by the local protection group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are a lifeline for koalas and other animals. All of them are in danger of dying out, or at risk of extinction. The trees provide a safe way across the koala's increasingly broken habitat. This protects koalas from human threats. “Our trees are actually trying to get them away from humans, cars and dogs，”said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas.
The koala is expected to die out in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest threats include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development.
Bangalow Koalas has planted over 336，000 trees on 119 areas, helping koala protection and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500，000 trees by 2025. “The neighbor would want to join and then another neighbor would want to join，” Sparrow said. Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause.
A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth about $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry. However, the World Wildlife Fund－Australia reported a drop in koala populations in Australian states. “I can't imagine a world where there's no koalas in the wild，” Sparrow said. “We're going to do our best to make sure that doesn't happen.”
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞的考拉和其他一些動物都面臨著瀕臨滅絕的危險，當地保護組織正在盡自己最大的努力采取措施保護這些野生動物。
1．Why is Lucy mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To show it is important to plant trees.
B．To suggest a way to protect nature.
C．To introduce a special kind of living thing.
D．To compare koalas with other animals.
答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Today, she is one of ... natural environment.(如今，它是生活在一排排樹木中的幸運動物之一，這些樹木是為了保護考拉和其他動物，拯救它們越來越小的棲息地或自然環境而建造的。)”和第二段中的“They are a lifeline for koalas and other animals.(它們是考拉和其他動物的生命線。)”可知，Lucy (露西)因種植的樹木而幸存下來，種植樹木起到了保護考拉和其他動物的作用，樹木成了這些動物的生命線，由此可推知，第一段提到Lucy是為了表明種植樹木的重要性。故選A。
2．What does the underlined word “extinction” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A．Growing. B．Disappearing.
C．Reducing. D．Failing.
答案：B
解析：詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的“All of them are in danger of dying out (它們都有滅絕的危險)”和連詞or可知，extinction與dying out意思相同，表示“滅絕，消失”。故選B。
3．How does Sparrow feel about koalas' future
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear.
C．Positive. D．Disappointed.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“‘I can't imagine ... doesn't happen.’(‘我無法想象一個沒有野生考拉的世界，’Sparrow (斯派羅)說。‘我們將盡最大努力確保這種情況不會發生。’)”可推知，她對考拉的未來持樂觀態度。故選C。
4．What is the best title for the text
A．A Protection Group
B．The Polluted Environment
C．Human Threats
D．More Trees, More Hope
答案：D
解析：標題判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了種植樹木對于保護考拉和其他動物的重要性，所以種的樹木越多，考拉和其他動物的未來就越充滿希望。D項(更多的樹木，更多的希望)最適合作為文章標題。故選D。

The poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.
The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africa's environmental issues minister, says, “During 2014, we are sad to say this: 1，215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying.” The animals are hunted for their horns. Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin. That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails. Ms Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest.
South Africa's legal system is ineffective. Ms Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year，” Molewa said.
Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “We're talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month. Or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them.
讀后請用自己的話概述上面語篇的內容。
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The poaching of rhinos is getting worse in South Africa each year. Many rhinos are killed for their horns which are believed to have curing power. Although more poachers are arrested, they hardly get punished. So the members of WWF are calling on more measures to be taken by government and the whole world to protect rhinos, including the effective legal system, rhinos' living places and even international cooperation.

Ⅰ　閱讀
A
(2024·山東省青島市高一上期末)An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3，080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That's like having 634 cans of soda and 1，200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don't use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
題號 Ⅰ Ⅱ
A B 難度 ★ ★★ ★
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number one problem. Poachers (偷獵者) kill 35，000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (柵欄) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa's elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (項圈) with a satellite unit inside，” Dr Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了多方合作利用GPS追蹤技術并攜手當地社區，共同保護大象遷徙路線以助其生存。
篇章導讀
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they've agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows，” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
1．What can we learn about the elephants from Paragraph 1？(　　)
A．They show an interest in hamburgers.
B．They move south to survive the cold.
C．They migrate for different reasons.
D．Females live shorter for food shortage.
解析：細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Females live ... mating cycle.(雌性大象與其幼仔群體生活，它們的食物資源會迅速耗盡。因此，當食物短缺時，它們便會踏上尋找食物的旅程。雄性大象則獨自生活，它們不像雌性那樣快速消耗資源。相反，雄性大象會在繁殖周期時進行遷徙。)”可知，大象遷徙的原因各不相同。故選C。
答案
解析
2．What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？(　　)
A．Results of poaching.
B．Reasons for killing elephants.
C．Difficulties in migrating.

答案
解析
3．Why are collars applied by scientists？(　　)
A．To discover the secret of migration.
B．To track elephants with technology.
C．To identify the population of elephants.
D．To explore a new route for migration.
解析：細節理解題。根據第三段中的“To unlock ... Dr Michael Chase says. (Michael Chase (邁克爾·蔡斯)博士說：‘為了解開大象在哪里移動以及如何移動的秘密，我們在項圈里放置了衛星裝置’。)”可知，科學家使用項圈是為了用技術追蹤大象。故選B。
答案
解析
4．What is the best title for the text？(　　)
A．Say No to Ivory
B．A Journey in Africa
C．Ready for the Move
D．Technology in Migration
解析：標題判斷題。文章主要介紹了為保障大象的遷徙，多方合作利用GPS追蹤技術并攜手當地社區，共同保護大象遷徙路線以助其生存，C項(為遷徙做好準備)最適合作為文章標題。故選C。
答案
解析
B
(2024·山東省淄博市高一上期末)The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud—and only—home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for home loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades, the lions are still considered endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions' future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (圖案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere.
Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精準). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long term lion monitoring，” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (評估) of Gir's lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information—how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.”
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一個有助于保護瀕危亞洲獅的人工智能項目。
篇章導讀
Despite the advantages, Banerjee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine，” he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at risk animals，” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”
5．What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions？(　　)
A．Stopping them from being killed.
B．Keeping track of them.
C．Protecting their living environment.
D．Increasing their population.
解析：細節理解題。根據第二段第一句“One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions' future is to track them, a hard work.(要想保住獅子的未來，最大的挑戰之一就是追蹤它們，這是一項艱巨的工作。)”可知，保護亞洲獅最大的困難是追蹤他們。故選B。
答案
解析
6．How does SIMBA help researchers？(　　)
A．By locating lions' homes.

Should We Create More National
Parks to Save Endangered Animals
Don't you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1(____) And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
2(____) If this environment is destroyed—for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down to make profits—many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 3(____) On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it is wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4(____) They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 5(____) As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.

(2024·安徽省安慶市高一上期末)Two years ago Lucy was saved from a rural area in New South Wales, Australia. Today, she is one of the lucky animals living in rows of trees that have been created to protect koalas and other animals by saving their smaller and smaller habitat, or natural environment.
The trees, planted by the local protection group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are a lifeline for koalas and other animals. All of them are in danger of dying out, or at risk of extinction. The trees provide a safe way across the koala's increasingly broken habitat. This protects koalas from human threats. “Our trees are actually trying to get them away from humans, cars and dogs，”said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas.

The koala is expected to die out in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest threats include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development.
Bangalow Koalas has planted over 336，000 trees on 119 areas, helping koala protection and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500，000 trees by 2025. “The neighbor would want to join and then another neighbor would want to join，” Sparrow said. Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞的考拉和其他一些動物都面臨著瀕臨滅絕的危險，當地保護組織正在盡自己最大的努力采取措施保護這些野生動物。
篇章導讀
A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth about $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry. However, the World Wildlife Fund－Australia reported a drop in koala populations in Australian states. “I can't imagine a world where there's no koalas in the wild，” Sparrow said. “We're going to do our best to make sure that doesn't happen.”
1．Why is Lucy mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To show it is important to plant trees.
B．To suggest a way to protect nature.
C．To introduce a special kind of living thing.
D．To compare koalas with other animals.
