We are students from Thailand, and we want to save elephants. (1)The elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck. Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. (2)They can also draw very good. People say that “an elephant never forgets”. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. They can also remember places with food and water. (3)This helps them to live. But elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before). (4)We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day. 1．Which one may be the first flag of Thailand? A． B． C． D． 2．What’s the best title of this article? A．What Is an Elephant? B．Come to Thailand. C．Let’s Save the Elephants. D．Elephants Are Good Pets. 3．Which one of the underlined sentences (划线句子) is NOT right? A．(1) B．(2) C．(3) D．(4) 4．If you want to add a slogan (口号；标语) to this article, which one may be the best? A．Learn to walk before you run. B．Do one thing, and do it well. C．No buying, no killing. D．Keep going and never give up. 5．The phrase “white elephant” has its special meaning. Read below sentences and guess what it means. ① My computer is a white elephant now. I don’t need it anymore. ② This car would be a white elephant to him, because he can’t drive. ③ My uncle does not want that house. It is only a white elephant to him now. A．Something expensive but useless. B．Something cheap and useful. C．Something difficult and boring. D．Something big and new. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是来自泰国的学生为保护大象而写的文章。学生们呼吁人们不要砍伐树木，不要购买象牙制品。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Our first flag had a white elephant on it.”可知，泰国的第一面国旗上有一头白象，选项D符合文意。故选D。 2．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文是来自泰国的学生为保护大象而写的文章。因此选项C“让我们拯救大象吧”是最佳标题。故选C。 3．细节理解题。分析划线句子(2)“They can also draw very good.”可知，句中的形容词good用法错误，此句中应把good改成副词well，用于修饰动词draw。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“People also kill elephants for their ivory.”可知，人们为了象牙而捕杀大象。由此推知，如果要给这篇文章加一句口号，“没有买卖，就没有杀害”可能最好。故选C。 5．词义猜测题。根据①句中的“I don’t need it anymore.”，②句中的“he can’t drive”和③句中的“My uncle does not want that house.”可知，句中提到的电脑、汽车以及房子对于其拥有者来说是昂贵但无用的东西，由此猜测，white elephant意为something expensive but useless“昂贵但无用的东西”。故选A。 进阶拓展训练6篇 Hello, I am Jenny.

Well, a new study shows that cats have many different facial expressions (面部表情), and they show how they are feeling. Some scientists visit a cat café over several months to record (录制) videos of 53 cats and collect 194 minutes of videos. They find that the cats have 276 different expressions. “Each expression is made up of different facial movements, like licking (舔) their noses, opening their mouths, or widening (扩大) the pupils of their eyes,” say the scientists. In the study, 45% are friendly and 37% are angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens (把……弄平) its ears against its head, make sits pupils smaller and licks its lips,” says the team. The scientists aren’t sure how the cats talk with each other by using their faces, but they want to study cats in other places to improve (提高) their understanding. Some pet owners even suggest (建议) the scientists develop an app for them to find out what their cats’ facial expressions really mean. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By giving numbers.

In the study, 45% are friendly and 37% are angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens (把……弄平) its ears against its head, make sits pupils smaller and licks its lips,” says the team.
