WELCOME UNIT UNIT 2　WILDLIFE PROTECTION 纯话题阅读 The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”， has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn't know it would be a great experience. The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing. 经验贴9　标准卷中阅读B篇基本以记叙文为主，说明文为辅，包括人物小传、书籍、影片介绍、夹叙夹议的生活故事和感悟，环保话题是热门。 纯话题阅读 2 One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement. The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability. 纯话题阅读 3 As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self­discovery. My trip to the Amazon Rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界), taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去亚马孙雨林进行研究探险的经历和感悟。 纯话题阅读 4 1．Which of the following best explains “mesmerized” underlined in Paragraph 1?

We put trackers (跟踪仪) around wild elephants' necks, so we can learn about their activities. In May 2009, in the middle of the wet season, Rommel appeared again. And it was his turn to be placed a collar. We sent three cars out to search for him. There's a river running through the park where many elephants gather in the mornings. At 10：30 am, one of my partners clocked Rommel. 纯话题阅读 9 A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his body so we could safely place a collar on him, but for a bull of Rommel's size it could take longer. After that, he turned away, heading in an unexpected direction and seemed to be near danger by killing himself in the water. It would be a bad accident. Only by pulling his trunk (象鼻) from the river, could we ensure his survival. The problem was that the river was a little bit changeable. Immediately, I decided to act. I jumped in and lifted his heavy, twitching trunk from the water with the help of lifeguards. The team tried to fit him with a collar, but we discovered that we didn't have one big enough. 纯话题阅读 10 We couldn't risk keeping him there while we created a bigger collar. So I struggled on, holding his trunk high with all my strength. And medicine that took away the efforts of the tranquillizer was delivered. As soon as his ears started to move, a sign of coming to life, I dropped his trunk and moved to safety. Within a couple of minutes, he was back to life. That was one of my proudest moments. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在桑布鲁国家保护区给大象Rommel (隆美尔)戴跟踪仪的经历。 纯话题阅读 11 5．What is the purpose of putting trackers around wild elephants' necks? A．To record their sizes.

A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean is a new album that includes the sounds of endangered birds. The album will come out next month, whose proceeds will go directly towards efforts to save birds. 纯话题阅读 16 The whole project was born out of this idea of trying to combine birdsong, electronic music and conservation. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean was organized by activist, music producer, Robin Perkins. He invited artists from each of the endangered birds' homelands to build their own songs around the birds' songs. There are contributions from ten artists in eight different countries. First single Black Catbird was created by The Garifuna Collective, from Belize. Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band. “There are no trails, and there are no signs there to tell you about what you're seeing，” Obando says. “So we're trying to do something for the birds and nature tourism.” 纯话题阅读 17 Another musician who responded to Robin's call is Tamara Montenegro, an artist from Nicaragua. She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco after being approached: “This beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”. In response, she created a song inspired by this bird and the challenges it faces to live naturally. 纯话题阅读 18 The new album is the second edition, following on from A Guide to the Birdsong of South America, produced by Robin in 2015. That first album has raised, to date, over $15，000 benefitting conservation projects in South America.

Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and moved to the park. By 2016, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170. 纯话题阅读 24 Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and other parts of United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals ate large amounts of plants, which reduced plant diversity (多样性) in the park. With the disappearance of gray wolves, coyote (草原狼) populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a great number of red foxes in the park, and completely drove away the park's beavers (河狸). 纯话题阅读 25 As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers were against the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. 纯话题阅读 26 The government spent nearly 30 years thinking up a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The US Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黄石国家公园引进灰狼的原因和取得的效果，作者认为引进灰狼的项目是很有价值的实验。 纯话题阅读 27 13．What does the underlined word “displaced” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Killed one by one. B．Separated from relatives. C．Forced to move out. D．Followed secretly. 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“By the 1920s ... fewer humans around.”可知，由于人类的发展导致灰狼不得不离开原来的栖息地，进入到人类较少的加拿大森林深处。由此可推知，画线词displaced意为“被迫离开”。故选C。 纯话题阅读 28 14．Which is an unexpected result of the disappearance of gray wolves? A．The number of deer increased fast. B．More people moved into the park. C．Red foxes ate too many plants. D．Beavers in the park were all killed. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The disappearance of the wolves ... the wolf—grew rapidly.”可知，灰狼消失的意外结果是鹿的数量增长很快。故选A。 纯话题阅读 29 15．Biologists suggested the government reintroduce the wolves because ________． A．they believed it could keep the park back to normal B．they knew the government was considering that too C．they were sure it would solve the elk and coyote problems D.they thought farmers needn't worry about animals and pets 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As early as 1966 ... the elk and coyote problems.(早在1966年，生物学家就要求政府考虑将狼重新引入黄石公园。他们希望狼能够控制麋鹿和草原狼的问题。)”可推知，生物学家建议政府重新引入狼群是因为他们认为这能让公园恢复正常。故选A。 纯话题阅读 30 16．What is the text mainly about?
