In the past, the leopard was widely spread in the Taihang Mountain area. Today, however, its population is getting smaller, with each group containing fewer than 50 animals. It is facing a high risk of dying out in certain areas due to illegal hunting, environmental changes and human activities. Luckily, thanks to a lot of environmental protection in China, there is a rising population among them, proving that progress is being made in the local environments. Standing on the top of the food chain, the North China leopards have been spotted more and more in Lyuliang Mountain, Taihang Mountain and other nearby mountains in recent years. With the spread of human activities, wildlife homes are getting smaller and smaller, Song Dazhao explained, one of the founders of the Chinese Felid Conservation Alliance (CFAC), noting that in some cases, local villagers have killed wild animals because some of them attacked their animals raised on farms.

They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell. Next morning, we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口). Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken only one of the bags of coins, perhaps worth three or four hundred pounds.” We found some sailors for the ship at the port. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job to keep the gate of a church. For Silver, we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint: “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” 21. What do we know from Paragraph 1? A. Flint found the gold coins in the cave. B. Seventeen men left with the boat. C. Many people lost their lives for the treasure D.

Ben Gunn lived a happy life with the money 25. What is the best title of this passage? A Taking a relaxing trip B. Flint’s gold coins and treasure C. Looking for treasure D.

Last month, our school organized a field trip to a nearby forest park, where we had a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature. During the trip, we hiked along winding trails, observed various plants and animals, and even learned how to identify different bird species. The fresh air, the sound of rustling leaves, and the vibrant colors of wildflowers left a deep impression on me. We also participated in a tree-planting activity, which made me realize the importance of protecting our environment. This experience taught me to appreciate nature’s beauty and understand our responsibility to preserve it. I now believe that spending time in nature not only refreshes our minds but also reminds us to live in harmony with the Earth. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
