Sadly, river dolphins are in danger because of overfishing, climate(气候) change and deforestation(滥伐森林). “When I began to do studies near the Amazon River, an accident happened. A river dolphin and her baby were trapped in a fishing net(网). I tried to save them with some local people, but we failed，” said Trujillo.

D(2025泰州靖江期末) ①The world has done a lot to protect elephants, but many of them are still losing lives for their ivory(象牙). At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa(非洲). But today, there are only 450，000 left. This is mainly because of people's hunting for ivory. With the need for ivory in markets growing, people keep killing elephants. Now at least 20，000 African elephants die each year. ②People call ivory “white gold”. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery(珠宝) and works of art. And the ivory material itself is so strong that people can store it for long. That's why many people are willing to pay high prices for things made of ivory. ③However, no matter how expensive the ivory is, it's wrong of humans to kill elephants. So some scientists are working hard on making the same beauty of ivory with no killing. ④Thaddäa Rath, a scientist from a college of Austria, has created(制造) the man­made ivory called “Digory” with her team. The chemical structure(化学结构) of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, but it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye. ⑤Another scientist, Fritz Vollrath from the UK, who is also working to protect elephants, felt excited that Digory could save many elephants from danger. He said, “We still need to do more work to improve Digory so that people around the world will accept Digory and like to buy and use it. And I believe that technology(技术) like this will help protect more wildlife.” 12. How does the writer tell us elephants are in danger in Paragraph 1? A. By showing us numbers. B. By introducing Africa. C. By telling us a story. D. By giving an example. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The elephant. B. The work of art. C. The ivory. D. The expensive thing. 14. Which is the right structure of the article? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤ 15. The writer writes the article to tell us ________． A. Digory is a fine work of art B. a lot of wildlife is now facing great danger C. the ivory material is really strong and expensive D. scientists are protecting wildlife through technology 第二节(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Two cats were walking through a forest.

Gray Beaver was doing something important with two sticks and some grass. Women and children carried sticks and branches to him. White Fang saw something like mist(雾状物) coming from the sticks and branches, and then, something bright like the sun appeared, and grew. White Fang went towards this bright thing with his nose, and touched it with his tongue. Then he jumped into the air, yelping. Gray Beaver laughed, and told everybody, so they all started laughing too. Kiche started snarling loudly, but she could not get to her cub because of the rope. Poor White Fang sat there crying in the middle of the laughing men. Their laughter hurt him more than the pain. He went back to his mother and lay down beside her. As night came, he felt sad.

I'm glad to hear about your interest in wild animals, especially golden eagles. Golden eagles are magnificent birds with broad wings and brown feathers. They are known for their sharp eyesight and hunting skills. Unfortunately, they are facing several problems, such as reduced space and a lack of food. Human activities like deforestation and hunting have also threatened their survival. To help protect them, we should work towards creating more forests and demand strict regulations against hunting. Educating people about the importance of these birds can also make a difference. I hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Best_regards， Zhang_Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
