TFK：What is Protecting Our Birds? DESSI：Birds are citizens of the world, so they need protection.I basically try to do conservation(保护) work to help birds get protected throughout the world.I recently wrote an article about a bird called the bar-tailed godwit(斑尾鹬)．I interviewed a biologist(生物学家) named Nils Warnock, who had studied the bar-tailed godwit.He expressed the concern about the threat that the bar-tailed godwit is facing.I wrote an article about his answers to the questions, which is published on the American Birding Association Website. TFK：What impelled you to start this project? DESSI：When I was eight years old, our class had to do a wood-working project, so I chose a bird feeder(喂食盒)．I didn't like birds at the time.I made the feeder, filled it up with seed, put it in my backyard and then the birds started coming.I got really interested in birds as more came.I later got involved in my local Audubon Society, which is an association devoted to preserving natural ecosystems.It really got me into birds and I realized bird populations were decreasing, and many are becoming endangered quite rapidly.I wanted to help them, so I started the project. TFK：What are some future projects you plan to work on? DESSI：I live in L．A.where there are a lot of parrots.Most of the parrots' native range is in Mexico, but they're really declining there because of habitat loss.I want to study the parrots and help them in their native range in Mexico, so they can start increasing again. TFK：How can people learn more about Protecting Our Birds and the work you're doing? DESSI：I have a website.It's protectingourbirds.my-free.website.There people can learn about what I do and how to help birds. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动植物。本文为采访纪实。小男孩Dessi特别喜欢鸟类，他建立了一个保护鸟类的网站。本文是TFK对他的采访。 4．What's Nils Warnock's attitude to the bar-tailed godwit?

D．Recreate his own conservation organization. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可知，Dessi接下来可能会帮助失去栖息地的鹦鹉，故选B项。 Finding a California condor(秃鹰) in the wild would be the most unusual treat, perhaps even more unusual than finding a wolf in Yellowstone National Park.In fact, the wolf was what opened my eyes to the fact that humans could bring an animal back to the place where it had disappeared. In 1987, there were only 27 California condors left, none of which were in the wild, only in captive breeding programs.It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise, enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild. Still, the hope of seeing a California condor, which remains an endangered species, is very low, let alone getting a photo of one.California condor population dropped mostly due to human factors, such as poaching and living areas destruction—these are challenges California condors still face today. Although this is just a bird's-eye view of the challenges California condors face and there are many others, it is part of why the opportunity to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team and their partners helping their recovery is so special to me as a photographer.I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas, but also understand and record how difficult the work is of those people on the front lines of the protection. I am grateful for the work of the team, and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here—to look to the sky and see one flying around. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动植物。本文为说明文，主要介绍了圈养繁殖项目促进了加州秃鹰数量的增加。 8．What helped the increase of the California condor population in 1987? A．Rules for hunters. B．Captive breeding programs. C．The improved natural environment. D．The enlargement of wild living areas. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，圈养繁殖计划促成了1987年加州秃鹰数量的增加，故选B项。 9．What does the author say about taking photos of a California condor in the wild? A．It is difficult. B.It is easy. C．It is boring. D.It is dangerous. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段首句可知，作者认为在野外拍摄加州秃鹰很难，故选A项。 10．What did the author do when working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team? A．He guided ways for them. B．He made records by photos. C．He helped the birds to recover. D．He rebuilt the birds' living areas. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，作者通过照片做记录与美国鱼类和野生动物管理局团队合作，故选B项。 11．What is the best title for the text?

Beavers build dams up to 5 meters high, and the largest one, in Alberta, Canada, is 850 meters long.Most dams are built from pieces of wood, with stones at the base and a sealing layer of mud and plants on the upstream side.The dams are thicker at the bottom with a shallow slope on the upstream side, meaning that the weight of the water pushes down on the dam, keeping it in place and allowing it to hold back large volumes of water.Their engineering work is so effective that beaver dams can last for decades. Beaver dams can promote the creation and development of stable wetland ecosystems, one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, which serve as the home of rare and endangered species.In addition, the dams can help water flow to the newly created ponds, thus, preventing flooding in areas downstream of the rivers where these dams are built.They also protect the land from soil erosion(侵蚀，腐蚀) and block pollutants in the water flow downstream into major water bodies. However, PhD student Robert Needham, from the International Centre for Ecohydraulics Research at Southampton, expressed a great deal of his concern about the possibility of beaver dams blocking the upstream and downstream migration(迁移) of Atlantic salmon(鲑鱼) and trout during their reproduction seasons, as well as affecting habitat quality.Thus, people should control the construction of beaver dams, especially in human-inhabited areas, near agricultural fields and pasture lands. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/人与动植物。本文为说明文。河狸筑坝虽然有利于生态系统的构建和发展，但同时也会影响其他物种的迁移以及人们的生活。 12．What is the main reason for beavers to build dams? A．Keeping warm in winter. B．Storing food for later use. C．Protecting themselves from predators. D．Saving their habitats from river flooding. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知，河狸筑坝的主要原因是为了利用它们躲避捕食者，故选C项。 13．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The living environment of beavers. B．The features of beaver dams. C．The methods of building beaver dams. D．The introduction to the largest beaver dam. 答案　B 解析　段落大意题。第二段主要介绍河狸建造的水坝的基本特征，如坝高，坝长以及建造材料等等，故选B项。 14．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．River pollution poses a big danger to beavers. B．Beaver dams have great ecological(生态的)significance. C．Stable wetland ecosystems are important to dam construction. D．Beaver dams serve as the place of reproduction for some species. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段首句可知，本段主要论述的是河狸建造的水坝是有利于生态系统的创建和发展的，即具有重要的生态意义，故选B项。 15．Which of the following may Robert Needham agree with? A．People may be disturbed by too many beaver dams. B．Beaver dams make many sea animals leave their habitats. C．Farmers could benefit a lot from beavers engineering work. D．Beaver dams promote an increase of some species in the Atlantic. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据末段末句可知，河狸筑建的水坝会影响人类的生活，所以需要控制河狸的水坝建设，故选A项。 Ⅱ.第二节 All animals exist in a network, connected and supported by each other.That's why our global focus today should be on saving animals from extinction.By doing so, we are certainly keeping an ecological balance.　1　. Support companies that promote environmental protection When shopping either from your local or online stores, go for those companies with eco-friendly things.Whether looking for shoes, toys, bags or others, you can choose reusable products.　2　. Avoid harmful pesticides Harmful pesticides have resulted in much animal loss.They might be good for killing pests.　3　.The chemicals enter into the soil and last for a long time, thus endangering native wildlife species.Worse, they spread throughout the food, causing damage to other large animals. 　4　 Don't buy things made of horns, ivory and others that endanger animals.This saves the animals and their habitats.Even when traveling, be careful when buying souvenirs.Some could have been made from endangered animal products like ivory.It's important to research the product before you can make the decision to buy. Drive carefully This is one of the easiest things you can do to join in animal protection.　5　.This will help reduce the road danger to endangered wildlife.Reducing car speed can reduce the animal accidents as much as possible.
