How does the description of Tibetan antelopes’ living environment and their beauty help readers understand the tragedy of their being hunted? 2. The passage mentions “the danger they were in” because of illegal hunting. In your opinion, what other dangers might Tibetan antelopes face in their actual survival? And why do you think so? 答案：They may face habitat loss due to human activities like road - building and land development, which shrinks their living space. Also, climate change could affect the grassland they depend on. Thinking (para.2) 答案：Describing their living on beautiful plains and their beauty makes readers realize their uniqueness. When knowing they are hunted for fur, it forms a sharp contrast, letting readers feel the cruelty of destroying such beautiful creatures, thus deeper understanding the tragedy. 　　Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang， Xinjiang， and Qinghai.[4]Watching them move slowly across the green grass， I’m struck by⑦ their beauty⑧.I’m also reminded⑨ of the danger [5]they were in.They were hunted， illegally， for their valuable fur⑩. 　　[4]动词-ing短语在句中作时间状语。 　　[5]they were in是定语从句，关系代词that/which因在从句中作宾语而被省略了。 ⑦be struck by ...被……打动；迷恋…… ⑧beauty n.美；美人；美好的东西 a beauty 一个美人，一个美好的东西（抽象名词具体化） ⑨remind vt.提醒；使想起 remind sb of sb/sth使某人想起（类似的人或物） remind sb to do sth提醒某人做某事 ⑩fur n.毛（皮）；毛皮衣服 目 录 英语·必修第二册 Reading for details Read para 1&2 and find out the answers. ②They are animals.

The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.” Zhaxi的同位语 动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。 1. What can we infer from Zhaxi’s words in Para 3? A. Zhaxi thinks saving animals is not important. B. Protecting Tibetan antelopes is related to human self - preservation. C. Zhaxi believes humans are more important than animals. D. Saving animals has nothing to do with the reserve. 2. Zhaxi says “we’re trying to save ourselves” while protecting wildlife. How does the situation of Tibetan antelopes in the 1980s and 1990s support this statement? 答案：In the 1980s and 1990s, Tibetan antelopes were hunted illegally and lost habitats due to human activities. This damaged the local ecosystem. Since humans are part of the ecosystem, harming it by endangering antelopes threatens human survival too. So protecting antelopes (wildlife) is saving the ecosystem and thus ourselves, which matches Zhaxi’s words. Reading for details Para 4 The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope.

How do the measures reflect the comprehensive efforts in protecting Tibetan antelopes? 答案：National protection, volunteer and building bridges worked together, covering legal, human - power, and environmental - adaptation aspects, showing that protecting Tibetan antelopes needs multi - faceted and coordinated efforts. 2. The Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered list, but threats remain. Discuss what “threats” might still exist and why they are hard to completely eliminate. 答案：Threats like illegal hunting may still exist because of the high value of antelope fur, and poachers may take risks for profits. Habitat loss threats can continue as human development (new projects) may encroach on their living areas. These threats are hard to eliminate completely as balancing human needs and wildlife protection is complex, and illegal activities are difficult to fully monitor and stop.
