However, many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer. According to the Living Planet Report 2020 by World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) in October, populations of several animals, including mammals (哺乳动物), birds and fish, had fallen to sixty-eight percent since 1970. According to the report, one of the biggest reasons of wildlife loss is human activities. They affect three quarters of the world’s land. Many forests have been cut down to make farmland. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because humans are over-eating them. Another example is the over-fishing of the oceans, the Guardian showed. The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) was one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes. It could grow to 7. 5 meters. The fish has a big nose so it is also called “elephant fish”. The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period (侏罗纪时期). However, scientists from China said recently that the Chinese paddlefish had died out. “The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment, ” the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to work together to protect people and nature. To protect endangered animals, there are following things we can do. For example, we shouldn’t use things made of whale parts. We should all play a part in taking care of the beautiful earth and live in peace with the lovely animals. 31. The population of mammals had fallen to _________ since 1970. A. 68% B. 70% C. 80% D. 90% 32. What does the underlined word “affect” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Pay attention to. B. Take care of. C. Make a difference to. D. Play jokes on. 33. According to the passage, what is NOT the reason of wildlife loss? A. Making farmland. B. Over-eating and over-fishing. C. Killing animals for parts of their body. D. Weather change. 34. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Elephants like eating the Chinese paddlefish. B. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because of over-fishing. C. The Chinese paddlefish appeared on the earth before human. D. The Guardian has called on world governments and businesses to work together to protect people and nature. 35. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. The Earth We Share B. Animals in Danger C. Human Activities D. Different Kinds of Wildlife 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了野生动物种群下降的情况，分析了导致这一现象的原因，并提到了具体的实例，同时也说明了保护措施和应对策略。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“had fallen to sixty-eight percent since 1970.”可知，哺乳动物数量下降到68%。故选A。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“one of the biggest reasons of wildlife loss is human activities. They affect three quarters of the world’s land.”可知，affect是“影响”的意思，与Make a difference to含义一样。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Many forests have been cut down to make farmland. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because humans are over-eating them. Another example is the over-fishing of the oceans,”以及最后一段“we shouldn’t use things made of whale parts.”可知，天气变化不是原因。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period”可知，中华白鲟出现在侏罗纪时期，比人类出现的早。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。由首段“However, many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer.”以及尾段“To protect endangered animals,”可知，本文主要讲了动物处于危机之中。故选B。 配对阅读 左栏是五个人困扰，右栏是七条医生的建议。请为左栏的每位同学选择合适的建议。 ___36___ Linda always feels stressed.

However, many of our animal friends may not be around for much longer. According to the Living Planet Report 2020 by World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) in October, populations of several animals, including mammals (哺乳动物), birds and fish, had fallen to sixty-eight percent since 1970. According to the report, one of the biggest reasons of wildlife loss is human activities. They affect three quarters of the world’s land. Many forests have been cut down to make farmland. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because humans are over-eating them. Another example is the over-fishing of the oceans, the Guardian showed. The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) was one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes. It could grow to 7. 5 meters. The fish has a big nose so it is also called “elephant fish”. The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period (侏罗纪时期). However, scientists from China said recently that the Chinese paddlefish had died out. “The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment, ” the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to work together to protect people and nature. To protect endangered animals, there are following things we can do. For example, we shouldn’t use things made of whale parts. We should all play a part in taking care of the beautiful earth and live in peace with the lovely animals. 31. The population of mammals had fallen to _________ since 1970. A. 68% B. 70% C. 80% D. 90% 32. What does the underlined word “affect” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Pay attention to. B. Take care of. C. Make a difference to. D. Play jokes on. 33. According to the passage, what is NOT the reason of wildlife loss? A. Making farmland. B. Over-eating and over-fishing. C. Killing animals for parts of their body. D. Weather change. 34. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Elephants like eating the Chinese paddlefish. B. About 300 kinds of mammals are dying out because of over-fishing. C. The Chinese paddlefish appeared on the earth before human. D. The Guardian has called on world governments and businesses to work together to protect people and nature. 35. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. The Earth We Share B.
