Emperor penguins can grow up to 1.2 meters tall, and they are 1 (large) of all the penguin kinds. In 2022, they were listed as endangered animals because the Antarctic sea ice that they live 2 is becoming smaller and smaller. Now scientists are using high technology to follow them and learn more about how 3 (protect) them. One of the 4 (way) researchers are able to do this is by looking at pictures taken by satellites (卫星) above the Earth. Large groups of emperor penguins can be seen from space. When scientists first started using satellites to look at the penguins, there were only 28 groups. So far, scientists 5 (discover) 66 groups. Even using satellites, it is so difficult to count how many penguins live in different groups. Scientists can improve population estimates (估计) by 6 (watch) the area’s weather 7 (careful) . Measuring (测量) the wind speed and temperature can help predict if the penguins gather closely together or spread apart across the ice. If scientists know 8 the weather was like when the pictures were taken, they can estimate how many penguins are pictured. Scientists can also watch penguins’ movements by giving 9 (they) special electronic tags (追踪器). As scanner (扫描器) is carried by a robot, and it can read information on the tags. The robot also uses AI to recognize (识别) the penguins. It moves very slowly so that it doesn’t make the birds stressed. Daniel, one of the penguin researchers, hopes the technology 10 (lead) us to a “golden age of research”. Thanks to technology, we are seeing more things that no one has ever seen before. 【答案】1. the largest 2. on 3. to protect 4. ways 5. have discovered 6. watching 7. carefully 8. what 9. them 10. will lead 【解析】本文讲述了科技如何帮助帝企鹅，包括利用卫星观测、天气监测和电子标签等技术在研究帝企鹅方面的应用。 1. 句意：帝企鹅可以长到1.2米高，是所有企鹅种类中最大的。根据“of all the penguin kinds”可知是所有企鹅种类中最大的，此处应用形容词最高级形式，large的最高级是largest“最大的”，且前面要加the。故填the largest。 2. 句意：2022年，它们被列为濒危动物，因为它们生活的南极海冰越来越小。根据“the Antarctic sea ice that they live”可知是指帝企鹅生活在南极海冰上，用介词on。故填on。 3. 句意：现在科学家们正在利用高科技追踪它们，了解更多保护它们的方法。protect“保护”，此处是结构“疑问词+动词不定式”。故填to protect。 4. 句意：研究人员能够做到这一点的方法之一是查看地球上方卫星拍摄的照片。one of后加可数名词复数ways“方法”。故填ways。 5. 句意：到目前为止，科学家们已经发现了66个群体。根据“So far”可知句子用现在完成时，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语是scientists，助动词用have，discover的过去分词是discovered。故填have discovered。 6. 句意：科学家们可以通过仔细观察该地区的天气来改进种群估计。by后面接动名词形式，表示“通过……”，可知，watch应转换为watching。故填watching。 7. 句意：科学家们可以通过仔细观察该地区的天气来改进种群估计。修饰动词“watching”，应用副词形式，careful的副词是carefully“仔细地”。故填carefully。 8. 句意：如果科学家知道拍摄这些照片时的天气情况，他们就能估计出照片中有多少只企鹅。句子是宾语从句，从句缺少介词like的宾语，此处应用what引导宾语从句。故填what。 9. 句意：科学家们还可以通过给企鹅贴上特殊的电子标签来观察它们的活动。give sb. sth.“给某人某物”，作宾语用代词宾格them。故填them。 10. 句意：企鹅研究人员之一丹尼尔希望这项技术能引领我们进入一个“研究的黄金时代”。此处表示将来的动作，应用一般将来时，结构为“will+动词原形”。故填will lead。 五、语法选择 Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live ____1____happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers. The first story is from Ray.

We have lost most of our natural resources (自然资源),and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species influenced by this is the dinosaur. We have caused animals to get endangered too. The pollution that we create destroys (破坏) many animals’ living places. An example of an animal species that has been influenced by pollution is the sea turtle. Overhunting is also a huge threat (威胁). When people overhunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger and the Atlantic cod. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live. Examples of some animals that have been influenced by this are many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do research on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer,or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 1. What made the Bali tiger be in danger? A. Being short of living places. B. The pollution. C. People’s overhunting. D. The strong enemies. 2. What do many organizations do for endangered animals according to the passage? ① They try to protect the places where the animals live. ② They do some studies on the animals. ③They stop people from eating meat. ④ They make people realize the problem. A. ①③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 4. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to protect endangered animals. B. To introduce what some organizations do for animals. C. To show how people influence animals. D. To describe the situation of some animals. 【答案】CBCA 【解析】本文的作者通过介绍动物们所面临的困境和保护动物组织所采取的措施来鼓励人们保护濒危动物。 1. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When people overhunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger and the Atlantic cod.”可知，是人类的过度捕猎导致巴厘虎处于危险之中。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do research on the species and they educate people.”可知，许多组织为保护动物采取了一些措施：他们试图保护许多濒危动物居住的地方；他们对物种进行研究并教育人们。①②④选项符合题意。故选B。 3. 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出保护动物的主题，第二段和第三段叙述了动物物种面临竞争和危险的原因，第四段叙述了许多组织为保护动物采取了一些措施，第五段呼吁人们也加入到保护动物的行列里来。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，最后一段是表达作者的写作目的，作者的目的是通过介绍动物们所面临的困境和保护动物组织所采取的措施来鼓励人们保护濒危动物。故选A。 B Every winter, Siberian cranes migrate (迁徙) from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ homes. “In some years, Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others it experiences droughts (干旱). Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ living space,” a researcher from the National Bird Banding Centre of China told the journalist. To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to the researcher. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds (候鸟) and wetlands. Wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The law on wetland protection was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans (禁止) activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, 2023, black-faced spoonbills, a kind of endangered birds, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. 1. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________. A. bad weather hasn’t hit the city B. the city offers more food to birds C. the city becomes warmer and warmer D. climate change doesn’t influence the place 2. What do wetlands play the main role of? A. Saving endangered animals. B. Providing homes for migratory birds. C. Looking after water and biodiversity. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution. 3. What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show? A. New birds come to China for winter. B. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China. C. China has completed its wetland protection. D. China’s environmental protection is successful. 4. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A 【解析】这篇文章讲述了中国湿地保护的努力，特别是在保护候鸟方面所取得的成效。文章详细介绍了湿地对环境的关键作用，以及中国通过修建莲藕田和实施相关法律来保护候鸟栖息地，最终取得了显著的保护成果。 1. 细节理解题。根据文中“The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to the researcher.”和“the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes.”可以推测，鸟类数量的增加是因为城市提供了更多的食物。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据文中“Wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity”可以推断出湿地在保护水源和生物多样性方面发挥着主要作用。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据文中“In February, 2023, black-faced spoonbills, a kind of endangered birds, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years”以及“Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans”可以推断出这些例子表明中国的环境保护工作取得了成功。故选D。 4. 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一、二段主要介绍了鸟类栖息地存在的问题；第三段主要介绍了解决问题的办法；第四段主要介绍了保护候鸟和湿地的办法；最后一段在总结全文。选项A所示的结构符合。故选A。 C Today, if a kind of animal is an endangered species (物种), it means there are very few animals of that kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction (灭绝). 1 When a type of animal is extinct, it is gone forever. One problem for animals is that they have fewer and fewer living places. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed. Building houses for people to live in makes animals leave their natural homes. Humans cut down trees to make room for homes and houses. The animals lose their living places. They have nowhere else to go. 2 3 Better planning can make a difference. It is still possible to keep so many kinds of animals in the nature parks or zoos, so that they don’t need to worry about the food problem. Another major problem is over-killing by humans. 4 So the governments around the world must agree on laws about protecting animals. Some animals may have large enough populations so hunting will not put them in danger, but others not. 5 Some organizations are working hard to create living places for them. Producing programs by governments are helping animal populations increase. We all have to know the problem and think before we act. The things we do can have an effect on more than just ourselves. Over-killing is a worldwide problem. A. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. B. However, they can be helpful to the lovely animals. C. Killing animals is a world-wide problem. D.

B 语法填空 How Technology Helps Emperor Penguins (帝企鹅) With the development of science and technology, we have learned a lot about animals. Emperor penguins can grow up to 1.2 meters tall, and they are 1 (large) of all the penguin kinds. In 2022, they were listed as endangered animals because the Antarctic sea ice that they live 2 is becoming smaller and smaller. Now scientists are using high technology to follow them and learn more about how 3 (protect) them. One of the 4 (way) researchers are able to do this is by looking at pictures taken by satellites (卫星) above the Earth. Large groups of emperor penguins can be seen from space. When scientists first started using satellites to look at the penguins, there were only 28 groups. So far, scientists 5 (discover) 66 groups. Even using satellites, it is so difficult to count how many penguins live in different groups. Scientists can improve population estimates (估计) by 6 (watch) the area’s weather 7 (careful) . Measuring (测量) the wind speed and temperature can help predict if the penguins gather closely together or spread apart across the ice. If scientists know 8 the weather was like when the pictures were taken, they can estimate how many penguins are pictured. Scientists can also watch penguins’ movements by giving 9 (they) special electronic tags (追踪器). As scanner (扫描器) is carried by a robot, and it can read information on the tags. The robot also uses AI to recognize (识别) the penguins. It moves very slowly so that it doesn’t make the birds stressed. Daniel, one of the penguin researchers, hopes the technology 10 (lead) us to a “golden age of research”. Thanks to technology, we are seeing more things that no one has ever seen before. 五、语法选择 Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us.

We have lost most of our natural resources (自然资源),and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species influenced by this is the dinosaur. We have caused animals to get endangered too. The pollution that we create destroys (破坏) many animals’ living places. An example of an animal species that has been influenced by pollution is the sea turtle. Overhunting is also a huge threat (威胁). When people overhunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger and the Atlantic cod. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live. Examples of some animals that have been influenced by this are many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do research on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer,or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 1. What made the Bali tiger be in danger? A. Being short of living places. B. The pollution. C. People’s overhunting. D. The strong enemies. 2. What do many organizations do for endangered animals according to the passage? ① They try to protect the places where the animals live. ② They do some studies on the animals. ③They stop people from eating meat. ④ They make people realize the problem. A. ①③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 4. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to protect endangered animals. B. To introduce what some organizations do for animals. C. To show how people influence animals. D. To describe the situation of some animals. B Every winter, Siberian cranes migrate (迁徙) from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ homes. “In some years, Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others it experiences droughts (干旱). Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ living space,” a researcher from the National Bird Banding Centre of China told the journalist. To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to the researcher. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds (候鸟) and wetlands. Wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The law on wetland protection was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans (禁止) activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, 2023, black-faced spoonbills, a kind of endangered birds, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. 1. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________. A. bad weather hasn’t hit the city B. the city offers more food to birds C. the city becomes warmer and warmer D. climate change doesn’t influence the place 2. What do wetlands play the main role of? A. Saving endangered animals. B. Providing homes for migratory birds. C. Looking after water and biodiversity. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution. 3. What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show? A. New birds come to China for winter. B. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China. C. China has completed its wetland protection. D. China’s environmental protection is successful. 4. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C Today, if a kind of animal is an endangered species (物种), it means there are very few animals of that kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction (灭绝). 1 When a type of animal is extinct, it is gone forever. One problem for animals is that they have fewer and fewer living places. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed. Building houses for people to live in makes animals leave their natural homes. Humans cut down trees to make room for homes and houses. The animals lose their living places. They have nowhere else to go. 2 3 Better planning can make a difference. It is still possible to keep so many kinds of animals in the nature parks or zoos, so that they don’t need to worry about the food problem. Another major problem is over-killing by humans. 4 So the governments around the world must agree on laws about protecting animals. Some animals may have large enough populations so hunting will not put them in danger, but others not. 5 Some organizations are working hard to create living places for them. Producing programs by governments are helping animal populations increase. We all have to know the problem and think before we act. The things we do can have an effect on more than just ourselves. Over-killing is a worldwide problem. A. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. B. However, they can be helpful to the lovely animals. C. Killing animals is a world-wide problem. D. It is also important for animals to have enough food to eat. E. There is still hope for animals on the endangered species list. F. Without a living place, the number of animals begins to go down. 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Saving animals in danger Section 4 Focusing culture,Cross-curricular connection,Project （分层练习） 一、单项选择 1-10 DABBC BDBBC 二、根据首字母提示完成单词 1.throw 2.punish 3.law 4.published 5.shoulder 6.slim 7.alarmed 8.typical 9.thirsty 10.whenever 三、完成句子 1.went missing day and night 2.ought to natural reserves 3.looked for lost her life 4.a symbol of typical of 5.in memory of worked hard at 四、用方框里短语的正确形式填空 1.ought to 2.worked hard at 3.in memory of 4.day and night 5.lost her life 6.make good use of 7.more than enough 8.without a care in the world 五、短文填空 A 短文填词 1.brave 2.hard 3.missing 4.alarmed 5.typical 6.thirsty 7.published 8.memory B 语法填空 1. the largest 2. on 3. to protect 4. ways 5. have discovered 6. watching 7. carefully 8. what 9. them 10. will lead 五、语法选择 ACCBC BACDB ABCDB 六、完形填空 ACBDA CBDAB 七、阅读理解 CBCA 1.
