We know that elephants are large.But did you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree(金合欢树),because it is home to ants?And an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk.Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings. Female elephants live in groups of about 15 animals.The oldest in the group is the leader.She decides not only when and where they move but also when they rest all year round.Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15.But they aren’t loners.They live in all-male groups. Asian elephants don’t run.Running requires lifting all four feet at once.But elephants filmed in Thailand always keep at least two on the ground at all times. Elephants have passed the mirror test.They recognize themselves in a mirror.According to tests,great apes,and dolphins also have this ability. Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves.“Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their heads to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off,” said Tony Barthel,working at Smithsonian’s National Zoo.How do elephants protect their young?Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep. Some farmers in Kenya protect their fields from elephants by lining the borders with beehives.Not only are their crops saved,but the farmers also get more money from honey. 1.Why is World Elephant Day designed? A.To show some facts about elephants. B.To call on people to protect elephants. C.To tell people some animals are in danger. D.To introduce Asian elephants’ features. 2.Why are elephants not willing to eat a type of acacia tree? A.Elephants are sensitive to acacia trees. B.Acacia trees are too tall to reach. C.Fruits on the acacia trees are hard to eat. D.Elephants’ trunks are easily hurt by ants in the trees. 3.What do we infer about male elephants? A.They live with female elephants at an early age. B.They decide when and where their groups move. C.Their oldest male elephant is chosen as their leader. D.They can run faster than female elephants. 4.How do elephants protect their young kids? A.Put some sand on kids’ heads. B.Guard kids when kids sleep. C.Pat kids’ backs from time to time. D.Use their trunks to keep bugs off. B (2025山东日照高一上期中) Darda is a wildlife biologist with the United States Forest Service.She wants to protect her beloved pikas and other creatures from a common threat:vehicles.The Federal Highway Administration says more than a million roadway accidents involving animals happen each year in the U.S.These collisions (碰撞) hurt wildlife and people. One solution to this problem?Wildlife crossings.In the U.S.and around the world,bridges and underpasses are being built to help animals safely cross roads. Banff National Park,in Alberta,Canada,is home to some of the most successful wildlife crossings.Completed in 2014,the crossings include 38 underpasses and six overpasses,or bridges.They prevent the park’s animals,such as grizzly bears and cougars,from being struck while trying to cross the Trans-Canada Highway,which divides the park in half.According to Parks Canada,Banff’s crossing system has reduced collisions with wildlife by more than 80%. Safe pathways for wildlife have been built in several U.S.states,including Arizona,Utah,and Wyoming.In Washington State,Darda is part of a major project.She’s helping to design a set of about 20 wildlife crossings.“Banff has been the best model for us,” she says.The Washington State crossings are being built along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate 90 (I—90),one of the country’s longest highways.This section of the highway cuts across the Cascade mountain range.It has affected the migration(迁徙) patterns of animals in the area. Construction of the 20 crossings is expected to be completed by 2029.So far,six underpasses and one overpass have been built.Garvey-Darda says these crossings have already made a difference for migrating animals.“We now have close to 5,000 deer and elk going through the underpasses,” she says.“All of these animals were potential accidents.” Washington locals can volunteer to plant vegetation on the I-90 overpass.Garvey-Darda says the plants will encourage animals,including her beloved pikas,to use the crossings.“It’s important to be active,” she says,“and not wait until a species is endangered.” 5.What is a threat to wild animals according to the text? A.Failing to find enough food. B.Being hit when crossing roads. C.Having their habitats destroyed. D.Getting lost during their migration. 6.What do we know about Banff’s crossing system? A.It is advanced.　　　 B.It is simple. C.It works well. D.It needs improvement. 7.What can we infer from Darda’s words in the last two paragraphs? A.Humans are too passive in protecting animals. B.More and more animals are using the crossings. C.More and more animals are becoming endangered. D.Humans are responsible for killing so many animals. 8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Safe Travels B.Repairing Crossings C.Animal Migration D.Tracking Wildlife Ⅴ.完形填空 (2025福建福州高一上期中) One of the greatest things about getting out of the city is heading into nature and really enjoying

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。8月12日是世界大象日。本文介绍了一些关于大象的知识。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants.”可知,世界大象日是为了保护并拯救大象而设立的。故选B项。 2.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But did you know that...Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings.”可知,大象经常不吃一种金合欢树,因为这种树是蚂蚁的家,大象不想让蚂蚁进入自己的鼻子,它的鼻子有很多敏感的神经末梢。由此推断这种金合欢树上大量的蚂蚁一旦爬到大象的鼻子里,会对大象敏感的神经末梢带来一定的伤害,所以大象不愿意吃这种树。故选D项。 3.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15.”可推知,雄性大象幼年时(也就是12~15岁之前)是与雌性群体共同生活的。故选A项。 4.B　细节理解题。根据第六段的“Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep.”可知,成年大象会让自己的孩子躺在沙子里,然后在幼象睡觉时守护着幼象。故选B项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了野生动物学家 Garvey-Darda 正在与美国林务局合作,通过在华盛顿州建造野生动物通道来保护动物免受车辆碰撞。 5.B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中 “...more than a million roadway accidents involving animals happen each year in the U.S.These collisions hurt wildlife and people.”可知,本文提到野生动物面临的一个威胁是过路时被车辆碰撞,故选B项。 6.C　推理判断题。从文章第三段中“According to Parks Canada,Banff’s crossing system has reduced collisions with wildlife by more than 80%.”可知,Banff的过境系统在减少动物过路被车辆碰撞方面起到了很好的作用,故选C项。 7.B　推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“‘We now have close to 5,000 deer and elk going through the underpasses,’ she says.‘All of these animals were potential accidents.’” 可知,越来越多的野生动物正在使用这些十字路,故选B项。 8.A　主旨大意题。根据全文可知,本文主要讲述了建造野生动物通道来保护过路的动物免受车辆碰撞的事情,也就是说保证了动物的平安通行。所以A项“Safe Travels”符合文意。

many likes”和下文“by the truly unbothered fox”可知,Tom在网上分享这件事后收到了很多点赞,所以此处表示人们被这只狐狸吸引住了(attracted)。 8.A　根据上文的“played it some music”可知,Steve给狐狸放了音乐,确保狐狸度过一个完美的(perfect)夜晚。 9.D　根据上文的 “London is home to many”和下文的“They’ve come to be called urban foxes”可知,伦敦是许多狐狸的(foxes)家园。 10.B　根据“when the city’s growth started 　　　their natural territory”可知,城市扩张,开始进入(entering)它们的自然领地。  11.C　根据上文的“They’ve come to be

1.endangered　考查形容词。空格处位于名词前,修饰名词,因此需要填入形容词。endanger的形容词为endangered,意为“濒危的”。故填endangered。 2.which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句的关系词,且在从句中作主语,代替“摄影师谢建国致力于记录中国的珍稀濒危动物”这件事,所以用which。故填which。 3.for　考查介词。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入介词;passion for sth表示“对某事的热情”,为固定短语。故填for。 4.focusing　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入非谓语动词,句子的逻辑主语与动词之间为主谓关系,因此用现在分词。故填focusing。 5.Significantly　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空格处位于句首,在句子中作状语,因此需要填入副词;significant的副词为significantly,意为“值得注意的是”,且句首首字母应大写。故填Significantly。 6.harmonious　考查形容词。空格处位于名词前,修饰名词,因此需要填入形容词;harmony的形容词为harmonious,意为“和谐的”。故填harmonious。 7.the　考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,此处位于名词前,因此需要填入冠词;此处特指“热爱和保护野生动物及其栖息地的重要性”,因此需要用定冠词。故填the。 8.to present　考查动词不定式。分析句子结构可知,此处需要填入非谓语动词,aim to do sth意为“旨在做某事”。故填to present。 9.has organized　考查现在完成时。分析句子结构可知,句子中需要填入谓语动词;句子的时间状语是“So far”,因此需要用现在完成时;句子的主语为单数,所以助动词用has。故填has organized。 10.works　考查名词的数。此处的work意为“作品”,为可数名词;前面有数词“7,000”,所以要用复数。故填works。 知识积累卡 一、1.分开　2.潜力,潜能　3.人口;(动物或植物的)种群 4.鼓励,激励　鼓励,激励 二、直道　伸展 三、1.迁徙模式　2.进入自然　3.设法进入　4.通过消防逃生通道　5.随便,就像在自己家一样
