Ariel worked at the Wild Bird Fund rehab centre（康复中心） and knew that swans could be aggressive. So she should be careful to prevent herself from being hurt. But as she went near this one, she found that it was badly hurt."I should help it, or it will die,"she thought. Ariel put her jacket over the bird's hand to keep it calm first. She picked it up softly, and held it in her arms. And then she thought, "What should I do now?"Her best choice was to take the swan to the rehab centre, but that was across the river and on the other side of the city. How was she going to take a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, when some drivers saw her, they were willing to offer her, her bike and the swan a ride to a nearby underground station. Ariel called the rehab centre on the way, and then an animal- care manager picked her up at another underground station. When they got to the centre, the manager checked and treated（治疗） the swan. They took good care of the swan. Now, the bird makes many swan friends in the centre, and it is enjoying a happy life. It's really a happy ending."If an animal needs help,I would like to do whatever I can. I always feel happy to do this," Ariel said. （　　）14. What does the underlined word "aggressive" probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Ready to hurt others. B. Easy to take care of. C. Possible to run away. D. Interesting to play with. （　　）15.

C When I was a child, things were not good for animals. People liked visiting zoos, but I didn't; some people might find the dolphins' tea parties funny or the bird shows enjoyable but I didn't. It seemed that the animals were in a circus（马戏团）. I was sad when circus people played games on animals-men making fun of lions, girls walking on elephants, monkeys playing football and so on. I believe those things were just cold and cruel. However, we didn't have the law to stop the bad things. Happily, as time went by, laws were starting to play their roles in the animal care and people began to stand on the animals' side. Circuses could not use wild animals for making money anymore and zoos couldn't, either. When my children were young, I sometimes took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in small cages and the monkeys looked bored as they sat peeling bananas. As a result, animal lovers are often against（反对） zoos. They say animals should get back to nature. However, zoo animals have a longer life. They are just not free. Yes, they are not free to be killed, not free to die of hunger or thirst. Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad. There are even bigger changes. Many kinds of animal-care groups keep joining in and giving help. Our thanks should go to BIAZA, an organization for saving wildlife across the world. BIAZA tells zoos what to do and it keeps an eye on how animals live both in and out of the zoos; it studies animals and helps other animal-study programmes,both in the UK and abroad; it gives animal-care talls to teach people about animals. Also, it organizes animal exchange（交换） programmes between zoos to help people around the world see different animals. Today, most zoo animals are born and grow up in large comfortable places. Kind and experienced zoo workers look after them. Sometime in the future these animals may get back to the wild and really share this world with humans. We should never stop caring about them and always remember that humans aren't the owner of this planet. （　　）18. From Paragraph 2, we can see that the writer believes circus animals _____. A. were talented in games B. lived a terrible life C. were cold and cruel D. liked working with people （　　）19. According to the passage, BIAZA probably can _____. A. keep an eye on how animals live in the zoos only B. share ideas about taking care of plants in rainforests C. find out why an animal disappears from the world D. borrow a panda from China and sell it to London Zoo （　　）20. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best（Para.1＝① ; Para.2＝② ;… Para.6＝⑥ ）? A.① ② ;③ ④ ;⑤ ⑥ B.① ② ;③ ④ ⑤ ;⑥ C.① ;② ③ ④ ⑤ ;⑥ D.① ;② ③ ④ ;⑤ ⑥ （　　）21. According to the passage, the writer would agree that _____. A. zoo animals should go back to nature at once B. humans are not good at taking good care of animals C. fewer people want to visit zoos now than in the past D. zoos now have a better living environment for animals D There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on the Earth, but how many do you see every day? You often see the big colourful animals, like birds, rabbits, and fish. But look more closely. Can you see the small ones too? Insects make up 80 per cent of all the world’s living kinds. Look on the ground. Imagine you could look under the ground too. Many small living things with one cell（细胞） live there. Life is everywhere around us, in every cubic（立方的） foot（a foot＝12 inches）. David Liittschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot. So he made a 12-inch cube with a green metal frame. And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）. He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica）, a coral reef （Pacific Ocean）, the Table Mountain （South Africa）, a freshwater river（the USA）, and a small park（New York）. Three weeks were spent at each place. He watched, counted, and took photos of everything down to 1 millimetre in size---that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube. The results were amazing. Liittschwager found both common and rare living things. He discovered many new living kinds, like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail! In total, more than a thousand living things were photographed. Liittschwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure". David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性） in the reef was in the coral skeleton（珊瑚遗骨）. These coral skeletons are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow. Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity, all the other habitats were full of life. Even the city park! （　　）22. What does the underlined part "one cubic foot" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.1inch×1inch. B.1inch×1inch×1inch. C.12inches×12inches. D.12 inches × 12 inches × 12 inches. （　　）22. What did Liittschwager think of the One Cubic Foot experience? A. It was useful. B. It was different. C. It was simple. D. It was difficult. （　　）24. Which habitat has the most biodiversity? A. The tropical rainforest. B. The coral reef. C. The Table Mountain. D. The city park. （　　）25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Life Is Everywhere B. Find Treasure in Nature C. Five Habitats to Live in D.

Now, a new project（项目） is working to bring cheetahs back to India. Asian cheetahs lived all over India a long time ago. But by 1952, they were said to be gone forever. One of the main reasons was that people took a lot of cheetahs' natural land. People also killed them for their spotted（有斑点的） skins. Since 1952, people have tried to get cheetahs to go back to India. They set eight cheetahs free in Kuno National Park in September 2022. The cheetahs that were set free were not Asian cheetahs but African cheetahs. They are a gift from Namibia's government. But the number of African cheetahs has also been going down. Now, there are only about 8, 000 left. Some scientists believe that bringing cheetahs back to India will help keep them from dying out. Kuno is a 289-square-mile protected area. But there is no fence around it, so the cheetahs will be free to walk into nearby forests as well. There will be tracking collars（追踪项圈） on all of the cheetahs. India plans to spend about project hopes to get about 40 cheetahs to live in Kuno. South Africa sent a second group of 12 cheetahs. They arrived in October. But cheetahs will face some problems in Kuno National Park. And not everyone thinks that "Project Cheetah" will work. Before the cheetah project was given the green light, India was preparing Kuno as a place for Asian lions. Some scientists say Kuno is better for lions than cheetahs. Cheetahs need open areas with hiding places, such as grasslands. But some scientists point out that Kuno has more forests than grasslands. Valmik Thapar, who is famous for working to protect tigers, says, "This area is full of leopards（美洲豹） and hyenas（鼠狗）, which are two of the cheetal's biggest enemies（敌人）."He also worries that the cheetahs might not have enough food and that many of them will die. 54. What happened in Kuno National Park in September 2022? ___________________________________________________________________________ 55. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? __________________________________________________________________________ 56. What do you think of the idea of bringing cheetahs back to India? Why do you think so? __________________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（20分） 你校正在开展"动物保护周"系列活动,英语俱乐部为此开展了征文活动,要求介绍你最喜欢的野生动物,请根据下图用英语写一篇短文参加活动。 注意事项: 1.短文须自拟,要求观点明确、语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意;2.词数80左右。 My Favourite Wild Animal 参考答案 一、完形填空 1.B根据前文"Jellyfish are badly named."可知水母的名字起得并不好，它们既不是鱼，也不是果冻做成的，故选B。 2.A根据前文"They appeared at least half a billion years ago."可知水母在地球上存在至少有5亿年了。而恐龙在地球上生存时间约1.65亿年。所以水母比恐龙存在的时间更久，故选A。 3.B根据后文"You may wonder how they can possibly live without these important organs"可知，人们会想知道没有这些重要的器官，水母是怎么生存的，故推断前文，水母没有这些器官是一件令人吃惊的事情：故选B。↵ 4.D根据后文"They don't have lungs because their skin is…to think much."可知由于水母自身特征皮肤可以呼吸.没有血液所以没有心脏，有神经网可以感知外面的环境。因此这里表达的是"一切的安排都是最好的",故选D。↵ 5.C根据本句语境可知，水母不需要肺是因为它们的皮肤很薄，可以用来吸收氧气，吸收用take in故选C。 6.B根据"they don't have a brain,a heart,or lungs"可知水母是没有大脑心脏和肺的前面已经介绍为什么没有肺和心脏，这里是介绍没有大脑是怎么感知外界的.故选B。↵ 7.A根据"but they can sense light and ocean currents …recognize colour and have a 360-degree view of their environment"可知水母能感知到光线和洋流以及有些种类能够认出颜色有360度的视角，推断这里说的是视力.故选A。↵ 8.B根据后文"from 0.5milimetres to the giant Nomura's jellyfish,which can measure up to two metres in diameter and weigh over 200 kilograms"可知这里说的是水母的“大小”,故选Bo+ 9.D根据“Some jellyfish toxins can be deadly to people”可知，我们最好能远离水母。keep off表示“远离”,故选D。 10.C句意：你可以和海豚一起游泳，但在和水母游泳之前，你肯定要三思。空处前后文是转折关系，故选C。↵ 二、阅读理解↵ 11.B细节理解题。根据“Bear2:30p.m.25mins”可知，看熊是在下午2点30分开始，可以看25分钟，也就是到2点55分，由此可推知在2点45分可以看熊。故选B。↵ 12.C词义猜测题。根据“It is against the law to feed or trouble any animals in the zo0.Volators will be required to leave the z00,and could pay fines up to后文含义以及选项可知，此处Violators意为“违反法规喂食或打扰动物的人“。故选C。 13.D写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文旨在介绍新城市动物园的一些活动和规则。故选D。 14.A词义猜测题。根据“Ariel worked at the Wild Bind Fund rehab centre and …that it was badly hurt.“可知，Ariel在野乌基金康复中心工作，她知道天鹅可能会很好斗。所以她应该小心防止自己受到伤害。因此画线单词的意思是“随时会伤害别人”。故选A。 15.C细节理解题。根据“But as she went near this one,she found that it was badly hurt.“可知这只天鹅躺在河边，因为它受了重伤。故选C。↵ 16.B段落大意题。根据“When they got to the centre,the manager checked and treated the swam.They took good care of the swan.“以及结合整段可知第三段主要讲述了一些人愿意一起拯救天鹅。故选B。 17.C推理判断题。根据“If an animal needs help,I would like to do whatever I can.I always feel happy to do this“可知，Ariel是一个十分善良的人。故选Co↵ 18.B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was sad …I believe those things were just cold and cruel.“可知，马戏团的人用动物玩游戏时，作者认为那些事情是冷酷和残忍的。由此推断作者认为马戏团的动物们过着糟糕的生活，故选B。↵ 19.C推理判断题。根据第五段中的“it studies animals and helps other animal-study programmes“可知，BIAZA研究动物并帮助其他的动物研究项目，C选项符合题意，故选C 20.B篇章结构题。阅读原文可知，第一段和第二段主要讲了作者小时候时动物过着糟糕的生活； 第三、四、五段主要讲了从过去到现在动物的遭遇在往好的方向发生着改变第六段描述了当 今动物在动物园的美好生活以及表达了对未来的展望。因此本文的结构为①②:③④⑤:⑥。 故选B。 21.D推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Today,most z00 amimals are borm and grow up in large comfortable places.“可知，如今大多数动物园里的动物都是在宽敞舒适的地方出生和长大的。由此可推测作者会同意"动物园现在给动物提供更好的生活环境"的观点.故选D。↵ 22.D细节理解题。根据第一段"afoot=12inches"可知，one cubic foot=12 inches×12 inches×12inches 。故选D。↵ 23.A观点态度题。根据最后一段"Li it tsch wager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like 'finding treasure'."↵ 可推知，Li it tsch wager认为这个实验很有用。故选A。 24.B细节理解题。根据最后一段"Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity"可知珊瑚礁有最广泛的生物多样性。故选B。↵ 25.A标题归纳题。根据第一段"Life is everywhere around us,in every cubic foot."并结合全文内容可知本文通过David Li it tsch wager的例子告诉读者生命无处不在。故选A。↵ 三、信息还原 26.C 27.F 28.G 29.A 30.D↵ 四、词汇运用 第一节31.report 32.mainly 33.humans 34.tail 35.accepted 36.pity 37.sadly 38.While+ 第二节↵ 39.However 40.to catch 41.are born 42.less than 43.touche 五、短文填空 44.When 45.acted 46.invited 47.am 48.working 49.in 50.careful 51.exactly 52.their 53.hopes 六、阅读表达 54.People set eight cheetahs free in Kuno National Parkin September 2022.↵ 55.Cheetahs will face some problems in Kuno National Park.↵ 56.I don't agree.Because cheetahs might not have enough food and many of them will die. 七、书面表达 Ome possible version:↵ My Favourite Wild Animal↵ I like tigers best.They are big and strong.They have bright eyes and orange fur with dark stripes.Tigers can fun very fast but only for a short while.They are good at swimming and climbing.They usually eat other animals.↵ However,smaller and smaller living areas and greedy hunters are making tigers in great danger now.So we should take action right away like making laws to stop people from hunting them We can also build more nature reserves to provide enough food and cover for them.Let's act together. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
