Unique to this area, the last few decades has seen a dramatic decline in the number of the mountain bongo, from an estimated population of 25,000 to less than 100．Its population decline was mainly human-driven．Now the Conservancy is making efforts in partnership with the Kenya government to help the mountain bongo through a new breeding and rewilding program. The mountain bongo is only found in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore means its decline in the world．That explains why taking immediate action here is so urgent．To enable the animals to adapt to life in the wild, the Conservancy has taken a series of measures．With the first stage of the adaptation being completed, the Conservancy has moved to the second stage which involves introducing the antelopes to the wild. （23-24高一下·全国·单元测试）听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 11．How did the man meet the tiger?

For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 21．Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________.

D．Elephants never go to caves. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 24．C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了大象是陆地上最大的动物，它可以帮助人们做很多事情。但是有很多关于大象的观点其实都是错误的，这篇短文给我们介绍了这些错误的观点和真实的情况是什么样的。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. (长期以来，他们非常有帮助。它们携带大树，将人们从一个地方带到另一个地方，甚至用于战争。)”可知，大象可以搬运沉重的树木，把人带到不同的地方，帮助战争中的人们，但是不能帮助人们建造房屋。ACD选项文章都提到了，B选项未提及，故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段“Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. (有些人认为伤害大象并不容易，因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。)”可知，有些人认为伤害大象不容易，因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。故选D。 23．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. (人们还认为，当大象死亡的时候，它们会躲在所谓的elephant graveyard里。)”可知，当大象快要死亡的时候，它们会把自己藏在某个地方，所以elephant graveyard就是用来隐藏死去的大象的地方，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight (实际上，大象的视力很差。)”可知，大象的视力很差，所以看东西不是很清楚。故选C。 B （23-24高一上·山西运城·期末）Elephant reserve This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre. Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks. Country: Thailand Daily tasks • Gather the elephants at 6:30 am. • Take them to look for food in the forest. • Clean the enclosure(围场). • Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch TV. How this vacation helps If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still have been living on the streets of Bangkok now. The rural environment is much better for them than the urban environment where there is lots of pollution. Gorilla safari (野外观兽旅行) If you’re lucky, you’ll see lions, elephants and rhinos during this safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good health — if a gorilla catches a cold, it will be extremely harmful to its whole family. Countries: Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda Departure(出发班次): 2-3 departures per month from August to December. How this vacation helps There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a ticket, this will pay for the protection of the national park. Polar bear watching Every October and November groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is not usual. The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt for seals, and therefore this is the perfect opportunity to see them. Area & Country: Arctic, Canada Departure: sixty trips between Oct 1-Nov 19. How this vacation helps If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger. We give a share of our profits to the charity that protects polar bears. 25．Which of the following is the task for elephant volunteers? A．Teaching elephants to swim in the lake. B．Giving elephants a bath at 6:30 am. C．Making sure the enclosure is clean every day. D．Watching TV to learn knowledge about elephants. 26．What do we know about the gorilla safari? A．You can set off in April to see gorillas. B．You can surely see lions, elephants and rhinos. C．Human activity has made gorillas’ living area smaller. D．To see lions in the mountain forests is the best part of the trip. 27．What’s the aim of these activities? A．To help protect the wild animals. B．To help build more national parks. C．To help deal with the pollution in cities. D．To help solve the problem of global warming. 【答案】25．C 26．C 27．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个保护动物的项目。 25．细节理解题。根据Elephant reserve部分中“• Clean the enclosure(围场).(清理围场)”可知，大象志愿者的任务是确保围栏每天清洁。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据Gorilla safari (野外观兽旅行)部分中“There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live.(由于人类活动减少了它们的生存空间，世界上只剩下大约600只山地大猩猩)”可知，人类活动使大猩猩的生活区域变小了。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据第一部分“If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still have been living on the streets of Bangkok now.(如果这些大象没有被解救，它们现在可能还生活在曼谷的街头)”；第二部分中“There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live.(由于人类活动减少了它们的生存空间，世界上只剩下大约600只山地大猩猩)”以及第三部分中“We give a share of our profits to the charity that protects polar bears.(我们把一部分利润捐给了保护北极熊的慈善机构)”可知，这些活动的目的是帮助保护野生动物。故选A。 C （2023高二·全国·专题练习）A new four-legged whale species was recently discovered by a team of researchers in Egypt. The fossil which was encased in a tomb of rock dates back to over 43 million years ago! This ancient creature had four functional legs, so it could dwell on both land and in water. Ironically, Egypt’s Fayum Depression, the desert where the fossil was discovered, was an ocean millions of years ago. Researchers believe this fossil is an example from an era when land animals were adapting to marine life. Modern whales evolved from deer-like land mammals over the course of millions of years, and this unique whale could travel across land and swim in the ocean. The new species is named Phiomicetus Anubis because the whale’s skull resembles the Egyptian jackal-headed god of death, Anubis. Scientists have also been able to recover the whale’s partial skeleton. They inferred that the ancient whale was about three meters in length and weighed 1,300 pounds. The mammal had a long mouthful of teeth, which indicated that it fed on smaller mammals and other sea life. After analyzing the remains at Mansoura University in the Nile River Delta, scientists supposed that P. Anubis is the oldest semi-aquatic whale species found in Africa. Although the fossil itself was discovered thirteen years ago, researchers just completed the analysis and made the exciting announcement of a new species. Other whale fossils with legs have been found before, but the P. Anubis is the earliest, of its kind found in Africa. 28．Where did the researchers find the fossil? A．In the India Ocean. B．On the Rock Islands. C．In the Fayum Depression. D．In the Nile River Delta. 29．What helped scientists figure out Phiomicetus Anubis’s diet? A．Its weight. B．Its length. C．Its teeth. D．Its legs. 30．What can we infer from the text? A．The study of Phiomicetus Anubis is time-consuming. B．The analysis of Phiomicetus Anubis has a long way to go. C．Phiomicetus Anubis is the oldest mammal found in Africa. D．Phiomicetus Anubis is the world’s largest semi-aquatic whale species. 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了埃及一组研究人员的新发现——一种四足鲸。文章介绍了这种物种的特点以及研究人员对这种生物的看法。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Ironically, Egypt’s Fayum Depression, the desert where the fossil was discovered, was an ocean millions of years ago.(具有讽刺意味的是，发现化石的埃及Fayum Depression沙漠在数百万年前是一片海洋)”可知，研究人员在Fayum Depression发现的化石。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“The mammal had a long mouthful of teeth, which indicated that it fed on smaller mammals and other sea life.(这种哺乳动物有一口长长的牙齿，这表明它以较小的哺乳动物和其他海洋生物为食)”可知，Phiomicetus Anubis帮助科学家们弄清楚它的饮食。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“After analyzing the remains at Mansoura University in the Nile River Delta, scientists supposed that P. Anubis is the oldest semi-aquatic whale species found in Africa. Although the fossil itself was discovered thirteen years ago, researchers just completed the analysis and made the exciting announcement of a new species.(在分析了尼罗河三角洲曼苏拉大学的遗骸后，科学家们认为P. Anubis是非洲发现的最古老的半水生鲸鱼物种。虽然化石本身是13年前发现的，但研究人员刚刚完成分析，并宣布了一个令人兴奋的新物种)”可推知，研究Phiomicetus Anubis很费时间。故选A。 D （2024·广西·模拟预测）It might surprise you to learn that there are conservationists on four legs as well as two. In the 1890s, realizing that imported stoats (白鼬) were having a disastrous impact on local birds such as kiwi, conservationist Richard Henry relied upon his pet dog to help translocate birds to a reserve on Resolution Island. From then on, he kept working and contributed to the world’s first government-backed conservation dogs programme established in 1998. Dogs have many qualities that recommend them for field work, but it’s their nose that puts them ahead of many humans. Damp surfaces trap odour molecules (气味分子), but dog noses are also remarkably sensitive. Add in a set of other adaptations that allow dogs to filter the air they breathe in to a dedicated smelling area at the back of the nose, you’ve got an extremely excellent detective machine. Worldwide, dogs have helped scientists to track snow leopards, koalas, gorillas and even killer whales, whose muck (排泄物) only floats on the ocean’s surface for a limited time. For their cooperation, the dogs receive their favourite treat. “We reward our dogs for locating the target by playing balls,” says Hartman, a research scientist. She explains that around 98% of the dogs are from rescue shelters, given up by owners who could not match their energy levels. Enthusiastic dogs are a must for the programme, but trainers need to match this with patience curiosity and hard work. After the muck sniffers (嗅探器), the next most common task for conservation dogs is live animal detection. Many working dogs were first bred to be pest controllers in agricultural settings. Now conservation dogs are used to find introduced rats and stoats on New Zealand’s island safe havens, feral cats in Australia, mongooses in Japan — even mussels and ants in the US that cause destruction and upset ecosystems. It’s just one of the ways dogs are being employed to keep human activity in check. 31．Why is Richard Henry’s story mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To illustrate stoats’ impact. B．To tell dogs’ position in animal protection. C．To present different kinds of conservationists. D．To highlight Henry’s passion for making a reserve. 32．What makes dogs outstanding for field work? A．Loyalty. B．Smelling. C．Bravery. D．Wisdom. 33．What does Hartman suggest in paragraph 3? A．Dogs need training to achieve their potential. B．Dogs located their targets by playing balls. C．Humans could be as energetic as their dogs. D．Dogs from rescue shelters are best for the job. 34．What is the text mainly about? A．Be friendly to your pet dog. B．Train your dogs to detect wildlife. C．Cooperate with dogs for a better living. D．Meet the dogs saving some animal species. 【答案】31．B 32．B 33．A 34．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了狗在保护动物方面的作用，以及如何训练狗来帮助人类进行动物保护工作。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“It might surprise you to learn that there are conservationists on four legs as well as two.(你可能会惊讶地发现，有两条腿也有四条腿的环保主义者。)”指出，也有四条腿的环保主义者；下文“In the 1890s, realizing that imported stoats(白鼬) were having a disastrous impact on local birds such as kiwi, conservationist Richard Henry relied upon his pet dog to help translocate birds to a reserve on Resolution Island. From then on, he kept working and contributed to the world’s first government-backed conservation dogs programme established in 1998.(在19世纪90年代，意识到进口的白鼬对当地的几维鸟等鸟类造成了灾难性的影响，环保主义者理查德·亨利依靠他的宠物狗帮助将鸟类转移到Resolution岛的一个保护区。从那以后，他继续工作，并为1998年成立的世界上第一个政府支持的保护犬项目做出了贡献。)”介绍了环保主义者理查德·亨利的宠物狗在帮助将鸟类转移到决议岛的一个保护区起到了作用，并为1998年成立的世界上第一个政府支持的野保犬项目做出了贡献，来说明四条腿的狗也能在动物保护中起到作用；由此可知，第一段提到理查德·亨利的故事是为了说明狗在动物保护中的地位与作用。故选B项。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dogs have many qualities that recommend them for field work, but it’s their nose that puts them ahead of many humans. Damp surfaces trap odour molecules(气味分子), but dog noses are also remarkably sensitive.(狗有许多适合野外工作的品质，但它们的鼻子让它们领先于许多人类。潮湿的表面会捕获气味分子，但狗的鼻子也非常灵敏。)”可知，狗灵敏的嗅觉使狗在野外工作中表现出色。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘We reward our dogs for locating the target by playing balls,’ says Hartman, a research scientist. She explains that around 98% of the dogs are from rescue shelters, given up by owners who could not match their energy levels. Enthusiastic dogs are a must for the programme, but trainers need to match this with patience, curiosity and hard work.(哈特曼是一名研究科学家，他说：‘我们通过玩球来奖励找到目标的狗。’她解释说，大约98%的狗来自救援收容所，它们的主人无法匹配它们的能量水平而放弃了它们。热情的狗是这个项目的必备条件，但训练师也需要耐心，好奇心和勤奋。)”可知，狗需要训练来发挥它们的潜能。故选A项。 34．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段“After the muck sniffers(嗅探器), the next most common task for conservation dogs is live animal detection. Many working dogs were first bred to be pest controllers in agricultural settings. Now conservation dogs are used to find introduced rats and stoats on New Zealand’s island safe havens, feral cats in Australia, mongooses in Japan—even mussels and ants in the US that cause destruction and upset ecosystems. It’s just one of the ways dogs are being employed to keep human activity in check.(在粪便嗅探器之后，保护犬的下一个最常见的任务是活体动物探测。许多工作犬最初是为了在农业环境中控制害虫而饲养的。现在，保护犬被用来在新西兰的安全岛屿上发现外来的老鼠和白鼬，在澳大利亚发现野猫，在日本发现猫鼬，甚至在美国发现贻贝和蚂蚁，它们会破坏和扰乱生态系统。这只是利用狗来控制人类活动的一种方式。)”可知，本篇文章主要介绍了狗被用来保护动物。D项“认识一下拯救动物物种的狗”能够概括文章主旨。故选D项。 Ⅱ.七选五 （23-24高二下·河北张家口·期中）How to Successfully Adopt a Dog Caring for a dog goes far beyond providing food, water and shelter.

But Milo the beagle is also a rescuer. One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo took off running. Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail. He started scratching on the front door and Swift was thinking, “Why is he literally trying to break into her house?” She was embarrassed. Not everyone wants a strange dog on their property. But as she tried to drag Milo away, she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window. It was a voice yelling “Help!” Hours earlier, around 4 a.m., 85-year-old Sherry Starr had risen from her bed. All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, she slipped. She went down-hard-on the tile floor, and got stuck. Starr was scared of dying there. Her best bet, she decided, was to listen for the letter carrier in the afternoon and scream like the devils. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the next few hours, Starr practiced yelling, “Help!

Help! Help!” Her voice was very faint. However, Milo the beagle, apparently heard Starr the instant Swift opened her front door. He rapidly rushed to the opposite house, while Swift was confused and embarrassed. It was a strange sense that hit Swift and reminded her something abnormal had happened. Without thinking twice, Swift called 911. Not long after the call, rescue workers arrived. They thought they had to remove the toilet to remove Starr, but in their last effort, they gave one pull and fortunately, out she popped. Starr burst into tears, feeling grateful and a sense of relief. Subsequently, Starr was sent to the hospital, where she underwent a general check-up and was diagnosed with a mild ankle sprain. When told it was Milo the beagle who had given her a second life, Starr declared: “That dog was a blessing.” 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Milo是一只救援犬，被20岁的Makayla Swift收养。某天邻居家85岁的Sherry Starr在家里滑倒了，Milo听到后冲到了她房子里，最终在救援人员的帮助下，Starr被成功救出。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个小时里，Starr练习大喊：‘救命！救命！救命！’”可知，第一段可描写Starr的呼救声被狗听到，Swift赶来帮助她。 ②由第二段首句内容“接到电话后不久，救援人员赶到了。”可知，第二段可描写Starr得救后的事情，Starr被送往医院，得知是Milo救了自己，感慨不已。 2.续写线索：大喊——Milo听见——Swift帮助——救出Starr——送往医院——Starr感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 叫喊：yell/scream 冲向：rush to/hurry to 经历：undertake/experience 情绪类 显然：apparently /obliviously 感谢：grateful /thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] However, Milo the beagle, apparently heard Starr the instant Swift opened her front door.

For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 21．Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________. A．carry heavy trees B．help people build houses C．carry people to different places D．help people in the war 22．Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant?

Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks. Country: Thailand Daily tasks • Gather the elephants at 6:30 am. • Take them to look for food in the forest. • Clean the enclosure(围场). • Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch TV. How this vacation helps If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still have been living on the streets of Bangkok now. The rural environment is much better for them than the urban environment where there is lots of pollution. Gorilla safari (野外观兽旅行) If you’re lucky, you’ll see lions, elephants and rhinos during this safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good health — if a gorilla catches a cold, it will be extremely harmful to its whole family. Countries: Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda Departure(出发班次): 2-3 departures per month from August to December. How this vacation helps There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a ticket, this will pay for the protection of the national park. Polar bear watching Every October and November groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is not usual. The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt for seals, and therefore this is the perfect opportunity to see them. Area & Country: Arctic, Canada Departure: sixty trips between Oct 1-Nov 19. How this vacation helps If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger. We give a share of our profits to the charity that protects polar bears. 25．Which of the following is the task for elephant volunteers? A．Teaching elephants to swim in the lake.

A．You can set off in April to see gorillas. B．You can surely see lions, elephants and rhinos. C．Human activity has made gorillas’ living area smaller. D．To see lions in the mountain forests is the best part of the trip. 27．What’s the aim of these activities? A．To help protect the wild animals. B．To help build more national parks. C．To help deal with the pollution in cities. D．To help solve the problem of global warming. C （2023高二·全国·专题练习）A new four-legged whale species was recently discovered by a team of researchers in Egypt. The fossil which was encased in a tomb of rock dates back to over 43 million years ago! This ancient creature had four functional legs, so it could dwell on both land and in water. Ironically, Egypt’s Fayum Depression, the desert where the fossil was discovered, was an ocean millions of years ago. Researchers believe this fossil is an example from an era when land animals were adapting to marine life. Modern whales evolved from deer-like land mammals over the course of millions of years, and this unique whale could travel across land and swim in the ocean. The new species is named Phiomicetus Anubis because the whale’s skull resembles the Egyptian jackal-headed god of death, Anubis. Scientists have also been able to recover the whale’s partial skeleton. They inferred that the ancient whale was about three meters in length and weighed 1,300 pounds. The mammal had a long mouthful of teeth, which indicated that it fed on smaller mammals and other sea life. After analyzing the remains at Mansoura University in the Nile River Delta, scientists supposed that P. Anubis is the oldest semi-aquatic whale species found in Africa. Although the fossil itself was discovered thirteen years ago, researchers just completed the analysis and made the exciting announcement of a new species. Other whale fossils with legs have been found before, but the P. Anubis is the earliest, of its kind found in Africa. 28．Where did the researchers find the fossil? A．In the India Ocean. B．On the Rock Islands. C．In the Fayum Depression. D．In the Nile River Delta. 29．What helped scientists figure out Phiomicetus Anubis’s diet? A．Its weight. B．Its length. C．Its teeth. D．Its legs. 30．What can we infer from the text? A．The study of Phiomicetus Anubis is time-consuming. B．The analysis of Phiomicetus Anubis has a long way to go. C．Phiomicetus Anubis is the oldest mammal found in Africa. D．Phiomicetus Anubis is the world’s largest semi-aquatic whale species. D （2024·广西·模拟预测）It might surprise you to learn that there are conservationists on four legs as well as two. In the 1890s, realizing that imported stoats (白鼬) were having a disastrous impact on local birds such as kiwi, conservationist Richard Henry relied upon his pet dog to help translocate birds to a reserve on Resolution Island. From then on, he kept working and contributed to the world’s first government-backed conservation dogs programme established in 1998. Dogs have many qualities that recommend them for field work, but it’s their nose that puts them ahead of many humans. Damp surfaces trap odour molecules (气味分子), but dog noses are also remarkably sensitive. Add in a set of other adaptations that allow dogs to filter the air they breathe in to a dedicated smelling area at the back of the nose, you’ve got an extremely excellent detective machine. Worldwide, dogs have helped scientists to track snow leopards, koalas, gorillas and even killer whales, whose muck (排泄物) only floats on the ocean’s surface for a limited time. For their cooperation, the dogs receive their favourite treat. “We reward our dogs for locating the target by playing balls,” says Hartman, a research scientist. She explains that around 98% of the dogs are from rescue shelters, given up by owners who could not match their energy levels. Enthusiastic dogs are a must for the programme, but trainers need to match this with patience curiosity and hard work. After the muck sniffers (嗅探器), the next most common task for conservation dogs is live animal detection. Many working dogs were first bred to be pest controllers in agricultural settings. Now conservation dogs are used to find introduced rats and stoats on New Zealand’s island safe havens, feral cats in Australia, mongooses in Japan — even mussels and ants in the US that cause destruction and upset ecosystems. It’s just one of the ways dogs are being employed to keep human activity in check. 31．Why is Richard Henry’s story mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To illustrate stoats’ impact. B．To tell dogs’ position in animal protection. C．To present different kinds of conservationists. D．To highlight Henry’s passion for making a reserve. 32．What makes dogs outstanding for field work? A．Loyalty. B．Smelling. C．Bravery. D．Wisdom. 33．What does Hartman suggest in paragraph 3? A．Dogs need training to achieve their potential. B．Dogs located their targets by playing balls. C．Humans could be as energetic as their dogs. D．Dogs from rescue shelters are best for the job. 34．What is the text mainly about? A．Be friendly to your pet dog. B．Train your dogs to detect wildlife. C．Cooperate with dogs for a better living. D．Meet the dogs saving some animal species.

But Milo the beagle is also a rescuer. One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo took off running. Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail. He started scratching on the front door and Swift was thinking, “Why is he literally trying to break into her house?” She was embarrassed. Not everyone wants a strange dog on their property. But as she tried to drag Milo away, she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window. It was a voice yelling “Help!” Hours earlier, around 4 a.m., 85-year-old Sherry Starr had risen from her bed. All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, she slipped. She went down-hard-on the tile floor, and got stuck. Starr was scared of dying there.
