She had seen the bird on the other side of the forest before. The young man looked at Sylvie. “I will give $10 for the white heron’s 11 . ” But Sylvie said nothing. As she lay in bed that night, Sylvie 12 all the good things that ten dollars could mean for her grandmother — warm clothes, food, maybe even a fixed roof. She even thought of a 13 that would get $10 for her grandmother. Just before sunrise, she left her house quietly and hurried through the forest. She finally reached a huge pine tree and climbed to the 14 of the tree to see where the white heron hid its nest. Suddenly, the white heron flew past Sylvie and landed on a pine branch below her. After sitting on its nest in a nearby tree, it lifted its wings and flew away. She knew the bird’s 15 now! As Sylvie arrived home, both her grandmother and the young man were 16 her. The perfect moment to speak about her secret had come. 17 Sylvie opened her mouth, no words about the heron came out. She remembered the heron flying through golden light, watching the sunrise from the treetop. 18 , she only gave the young man clear directions back home. He had to leave 19 and never returned. Years later, Sylvie still remembered that morning. She saved something far more 20 than money by keeping silent — a life that still lived on in that golden light. 11．A．name B．food C．color D．location 12．A．checked B．forgot C．imagined D．expressed 13．A．plan B．goal C．story D．question 14．A．bottom B．top C．surface D．side 15．A．secret B．ability C．choice D．voice 16．A．taking care of B．making fun of C．waiting for D．looking for 17．A．Though B．Because C．Unless D．If 18．A．However B．Instead C．Besides D．Finally 19．A．angrily B．excitedly C．disappointedly D．surprisingly 20．A．useful B．interesting C．beautiful D．valuable 【答案】 11．D 12．C 13．A 14．B 15．A 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了女孩Sylvie在得知有人愿意出10美元换取白鹭的位置后，虽然心动于这笔钱能给祖母带来的帮助，但在找到白鹭的巢穴后，最终选择沉默保护白鹭，放弃了这笔报酬的故事，体现了她对自然生命的珍视。 11．句意：我将给10美元来获取白鹭的位置。 年轻人出价买白苍鹭的位置，后文Sylvie去寻找苍鹭的巢穴也印证了这一点，location地点、位置，贴合情节。name名字、food食物、color颜色不符合语境。 12．句意：那天晚上，当她躺在床上时，Sylvie想象10美元能给祖母带来的所有好处——温暖的衣服、食物，甚至是固定的屋顶。 Sylvie躺在床上，脑海里想十美元能给奶奶带来的各种好处，这是“想象”，imagine想象，符合心理活动。checked检查、forgot忘记、expressed表达都不符合。 13．句意：她甚至想到了一个能为祖母拿到10美元的计划。 她想到了一个能帮奶奶拿到十美元的计划，之后她就出门找苍鹭的位置，a plan符合逻辑。goal目标、story故事、question问题都不对。 14．句意：她最终到达一棵巨大的松树，爬到树的顶端去看白鹭把巢藏在哪里。 后文提到苍鹭落在她下方的树枝，她要找鸟的巢穴，所以是爬到松树的树顶，top顶部，符合常识逻辑。bottom底部、surface表面、side侧边不符合。 15．句意：她现在知道了这只鸟的秘密！ 后文提到“说出秘密的最佳时刻已经到来”，说明此时Sylvie已经知道了苍鹭藏身处的秘密，ability能力、choice选择、voice声音不符合。 16．句意：当Sylvie到家时，她的祖母和年轻人都在等待她。 Sylvie出门找位置，回到家时奶奶和年轻人都在等她开口，waiting for“等待”符合语境，taking care of照顾、making fun of取笑、looking for寻找都不符合语境。 17．句意：虽然Sylvie张开了嘴，但没有说出关于白鹭的任何话。 根据前文她已经知道白鹭位置的背景和后文“no words about the heron came out”的转折内容可知，此处需要表转折的连接词，though引导让步转折。 18．句意：相反，她只给年轻人指了回家的明确路线。 她没有说出苍鹭的位置，反而只给年轻人指了回家的路，表“取而代之”，instead转折替代。however表转折（不符合这里语义逻辑）、besides此外、finally最后都不对。 19．句意：他不得不失望地离开，再也没有回来。 年轻人没得到想要的苍鹭位置，没能拿到他想要的信息，所以失望地离开，disappointedly“失望地”符合语境。angrily生气（程度不符）、excitedly兴奋、surprisingly惊讶都不对。 20．句意：她通过沉默保护了比金钱更珍贵的东西——一种在金色光芒中延续的生命。 根据前文她放弃10美元保护白鹭的行为和后文“a life that still lived on in that golden light”的价值描述可知，这种东西比金钱更珍贵，valuable“宝贵的”符合语境，useful有用、interesting有趣、beautiful美丽都不符合这里对比金钱的语义。        二、阅读(共两节，满分35分) 第1节 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从21-35各题所给的A、B、C、D项中，选出最佳选项。 A I stood on the wide grassland of Kazakhstan. My heart raced as we prepared to open the transport crate (运输箱). Inside were seven Przewalski’s horses. They were the last truly wild horses in the world, and we were about to bring them home. My journey with these horses began years ago in a zoo. I remember looking into the eyes of a Przewalski’s horse named Hope. Her ancestors once ran freely across the land of Asia. But by the mid-20th century, hunting had nearly made them die out, only about 30 remained in zoos. Many believed they were already a memory of the past. But we refused to give up. An international team of scientists started a careful breeding program. We kept a detailed “family book” for every horse to ensure healthy future generations. Hope was one of the first healthy horses born under this program. The real challenge was returning them to the wild. We chose the Golden Steppe (金色草原) in Kazakhstan similar to their ancient home. But getting them there was a difficult task. The journey would take over 20 hours by air and road. We had to use carefully measured sedatives. Too much, they might not wake up properly; too little, they could panic and hurt themselves. I stayed by Hope’s crate the whole flight, speaking softly to her. Now, the moment had come. As the crate door was lowered, Hope took a careful step forward, then she burst into a run across the land she had never seen but somehow knew. As the second and third horses ran into the steppe, they circled back and looked at us almost as if to say, “Thank you.” Tears filled my eyes. We had not just saved a species. We had given a lost king of the grassland its crown (皇冠) back. 21．The author is probably a member of ________. A．a local travel agency B．a horse riding club C．a protection program D．a documentary film group 22．What was the main purpose of the “family book”? A．To record the numbers of horses. B．To ensure baby horses’ health. C．To choose the best living places. D．To give each horse a special name. 23．The underlined “sedatives” refers to _______. A．special foods for long journeys B．medicines to keep calm C．tools to listen to heart beats D．safety belts in the crate 24．From the last paragraph, what we did for the horses led to _______. A．bringing back their fame B．returning their natural role C．building a protected area D．getting back their health 25．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Future Program B．An Unexpected Choice C．The First Wild Horse D．The Long Journey Home 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．B 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者参与普氏野马保护项目的个人经历。 21．第三段“An international team of scientists started a careful breeding program. We kept a detailed...”及全文可知，作者全程参与了该物种的人工繁育、转运放归的保护工作，即作者可能是国际科学家组成的保护项目组成员之一。 22．第三段“We kept a detailed ‘family book’ for every horse to ensure healthy future generations.”可知，“家谱”的目的是为了确保后代的健康。 23．第四段“Too much, they might not wake up properly; too little, they could panic and hurt themselves.”可知，“sedatives”是一种用来让马保持冷静的药物。 24．最后一段“We had not just saved a species. We had given a lost king of the grassland its crown back.”可知，“我们”拯救了一个物种，让普氏野马回到草原，回归了它们在自然界的角色。 25．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了普氏野马从动物园繁育到回归哈萨克斯坦草原的漫长历程，D选项符合文章主旨。 B Plains wanderers (领鹑) are small, rare birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their homes and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend (融合) into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. It seems that they are invisible due to their feathers. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These mothers’ calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program to analyze (分析) them. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 26．What can be learned about female plains wanderers? A．They are bigger and protect babies. B．They are common in many habitats. C．They sit on the eggs and keep them warm. D．They are easy to find because of their feathers. 27．What is the main challenge in finding plains wanderers? A．They are very small and fly too fast. B．It is hard to see or hear them clearly. C．They protect themselves from scientists. D．They build their nests in farms and cities. 28．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A．By making noise in the grass. B．By taking photos of their nests C．By following their chicks’ paths. D．By analyzing calls from mother birds. 29．What is Dr. Lee’s attitude towards the AI technology? A．Supportive. B．Interested. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Life Habits of Rare Grassland Birds B．Using AI to Help Protect Plains Wanderers C．The Difficulties in Saving Plains Wanderers D．Scientists’ New Findings on Plains Wanderers 【答案】26．A 27．B 28．D 29．A 30．B 【导语】本文介绍了濒危鸟类领鹑的生存困境，以及科学家如何利用AI技术通过分析其叫声来监测和保护这一物种。 26．细节理解题。根据第一段“female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their homes and babies”可知，雌性领鹑体型更大，负责保护家园和幼鸟。故选A。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段“These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass”和第二段“mother wanderers make soft sounds...quiet and easy to miss”可知，它们因羽毛伪装和叫声轻柔而难以被人类发现或听见。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds...The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises”可知，科学家通过分析母鸟的叫声来寻找领鹑。故选D。 29．观点态度题。根据第三段Dr. Lee的话“AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them...we can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.”可知，他对AI技术持支持态度。故选A。 30．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了如何利用AI技术分析和追踪领鹑的叫声以保护这一濒危物种，因此最佳标题是“利用AI帮助保护领鹑”。故选B。 C It is 7:00 a.m. at the Siberian Tiger (东北虎) Park in China. The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food. Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers, are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos. Why are they in danger? ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space. ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones. ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing. ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller. At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 31．What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A．6:30 a.m. B．7:00 a.m. C．7:30 a.m. D．7:50 a.m. 32．How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A．about 200 B．more than 600 C．fewer than 600 D．600 33．What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A．Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B．Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C．Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D．Help the tigers give birth to fewer babies. 34．Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A．The forests are getting smaller. B．The hunters may kill them for money. C．Too many cubs are born every year. D．The food is not enough. 35．Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A．Planting more trees to make new forests for tigers. B．Feeding more Siberian tigers in the zoo. C．Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D．Cutting down more forests. 【答案】31．C 32．C 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文介绍了中国东北虎园里东北虎的日常，东北虎的外形特征，以及它们处于濒危状态的原因，同时说明了人们为保护东北虎所做的努力。 31．第一段指出东北虎通常醒来的时间：“By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry.”，说明公园里的东北虎通常在早上7:30醒来。 32．第三段说明野生东北虎的数量：“Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China.”，表明野生东北虎的数量不足600只。 33．第二段说明东北虎饲养员李明每天做的事：“Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, ‘They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act.’”，说明李明每天会仔细打扫老虎的笼子（即老虎的家）、喂它们并观察它们的行为。 34．文章“ Why are they in danger?”部分列举了东北虎濒危的原因，其中提到“A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years.”，说明东北虎每年出生的幼崽并不多，由此可推断“每年出生太多幼崽”不是东北虎濒危的原因。 35．文章提到东北虎濒危的原因之一是“Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space.”，由此可推断，多植树为老虎开辟新的森林，是帮助东北虎的好方法。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题， 每小题1分，共5分） 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Elephant Families African elephants live together in a herd (群). They all take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch (女酋长). 36 They follow the matriarch because she guards the family from danger. Adult male elephants go off to live on their own and start families. 37 Young elephants learn by copying other elephants. Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old. They have long memories. A matriarch can remember where to find water even in a dry period. The herd will follow her there. 38 Elephants talk to each other with low rumbling (隆隆的) sounds. Some rumbling sounds are so deep that people cannot hear them. 39 So they greet each other by touch. They use their trunks (象鼻) and feet. If danger comes, mothers flap their ears to call their babies. The adult elephants circle around the babies. Other animals do not often attack elephants. But a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, the elephants make loud sounds. 40 The matriarch puts herself in front of the herd. She flaps her ears out wide. This makes her look even larger. Then she lowers her head and charges the enemy in a big cloud of dust. A．Elephants are intelligent animals. B．They also hit the ground with their trunks. C．Elephants have lots of feeling in their skin. D．They can also smell and pick up things with it. E．The other elephants are daughters, sisters, cousins, and babies. F．She can also remember the safest place to cross a fast-moving river. 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．F 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了非洲象群的生活方式和社会结构。 36．根据“The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant.

People have been studying chimps both in the wild and in captivity (圈养) for over 40 years. In 1960, a researcher named Jane Goodall began to live with and study wild chimpanzees in Africa. She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat. In captivity, where they live in zoos and science centers, they can be found in 21 different African countries, living in forests. Chimpanzees are able to adapt (适应) to changes in their environment. They can move to a new place, make new nests, and find new foods. There have even been experiments which show that a few chimpanzees have learned to use computers and to play games! Some scientists argue that chimpanzees can show emotions such as happiness or sadness. Although chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals, they are in danger now and people are destroying their natural habitats. By cutting down trees for firewood and using the space to build houses, humans leave chimpanzees with smaller areas to live in. Fortunately many organizations and researchers have started to take steps to protect them. Everyone should be aware of their work and it is important to help these amazing animals. 46．How long have people been studying chimpanzees both in the wild and in captivity? 47．What did the researcher, Jane Goodall, learn about chimpanzees? 48．How do chimpanzees adapt to changes in their environment? 49．Have all chimpanzees learned to use computers or to play games? 50．According to the passage, why should everyone help chimpanzees? 【答案】46．For over 40 years. 47．Chimpanzees are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat. 48．By moving to a new place, making new nests, and finding new foods. 49．No, they haven’t. 50．Because they are in danger because of habitat destruction caused by humans, and it is important to protect these impressive and intelligent animals. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黑猩猩的生活环境、习性和现状。 46．根据第一段“People have been studying chimps both in the wild and in captivity for over 40 years.”可知，40多年来，人们一直在研究野生和圈养的黑猩猩。故填For over 40 years. 47．根据第2段“She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat.”可知，简·古道尔研究员了解到黑猩猩是高度聪明的动物，它们通过手势和身体接触进行交流。他们制作寻找食物的工具，并选择加入哪个团体和吃什么食物。故填 Chimpanzees are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat. 48．根据第2段“Chimpanzees are able to adapt to changes in their environment. They can move to a new place, make new nests, and find new foods.”可知，黑猩猩通过迁移到一个新的地方、建造新的巢穴以及寻找新的食物来适应环境的变化。故填By moving to a new place, making new nests, and finding new foods. 49．根据第2段“There have even been experiments which show that a few chimpanzees have learned to use computers and to play games!”可知，一些黑猩猩已经学会了使用电脑和玩游戏，并不是所有的黑猩猩都学会使用电脑或玩游戏了。故填No, they haven’t. 50．根据第3段“Although chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals, they are in danger now and people are destroying their natural habitats.”可知，每个人都应该帮助黑猩猩，因为由于人类对栖息地的破坏，它们正处于危险之中，保护这些令人印象深刻的聪明动物非常重要。故填Because they are in danger because of habitat destruction caused by humans, and it is important to protect these impressive and intelligent animals. 四、写作（共三节；满分35分） 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据下列语篇以及所给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。在填写答题卡时，要求写出完整单词。（每空只写一词） Animals are people’s friends.

She even thought of a 13 that would get $10 for her grandmother. Just before sunrise, she left her house quietly and hurried through the forest. She finally reached a huge pine tree and climbed to the 14 of the tree to see where the white heron hid its nest. Suddenly, the white heron flew past Sylvie and landed on a pine branch below her. After sitting on its nest in a nearby tree, it lifted its wings and flew away. She knew the bird’s 15 now! As Sylvie arrived home, both her grandmother and the young man were 16 her. The perfect moment to speak about her secret had come. 17 Sylvie opened her mouth, no words about the heron came out.

My heart raced as we prepared to open the transport crate (运输箱). Inside were seven Przewalski’s horses. They were the last truly wild horses in the world, and we were about to bring them home. My journey with these horses began years ago in a zoo. I remember looking into the eyes of a Przewalski’s horse named Hope. Her ancestors once ran freely across the land of Asia. But by the mid-20th century, hunting had nearly made them die out, only about 30 remained in zoos. Many believed they were already a memory of the past. But we refused to give up. An international team of scientists started a careful breeding program. We kept a detailed “family book” for every horse to ensure healthy future generations. Hope was one of the first healthy horses born under this program. The real challenge was returning them to the wild. We chose the Golden Steppe (金色草原) in Kazakhstan similar to their ancient home. But getting them there was a difficult task. The journey would take over 20 hours by air and road. We had to use carefully measured sedatives. Too much, they might not wake up properly; too little, they could panic and hurt themselves. I stayed by Hope’s crate the whole flight, speaking softly to her. Now, the moment had come. As the crate door was lowered, Hope took a careful step forward, then she burst into a run across the land she had never seen but somehow knew. As the second and third horses ran into the steppe, they circled back and looked at us almost as if to say, “Thank you.” Tears filled my eyes. We had not just saved a species. We had given a lost king of the grassland its crown (皇冠) back. 21．The author is probably a member of ________. A．a local travel agency B．a horse riding club C．a protection program D．a documentary film group 22．What was the main purpose of the “family book”? A．To record the numbers of horses. B．To ensure baby horses’ health. C．To choose the best living places. D．To give each horse a special name. 23．The underlined “sedatives” refers to _______. A．special foods for long journeys B．medicines to keep calm C．tools to listen to heart beats D．safety belts in the crate 24．From the last paragraph, what we did for the horses led to _______. A．bringing back their fame B．returning their natural role C．building a protected area D．getting back their health 25．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Future Program B．An Unexpected Choice C．The First Wild Horse D．The Long Journey Home B Plains wanderers (领鹑) are small, rare birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their homes and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend (融合) into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. It seems that they are invisible due to their feathers. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These mothers’ calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program to analyze (分析) them. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 26．What can be learned about female plains wanderers? A．They are bigger and protect babies. B．They are common in many habitats. C．They sit on the eggs and keep them warm. D．They are easy to find because of their feathers. 27．What is the main challenge in finding plains wanderers? A．They are very small and fly too fast. B．It is hard to see or hear them clearly. C．They protect themselves from scientists. D．They build their nests in farms and cities. 28．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A．By making noise in the grass. B．By taking photos of their nests C．By following their chicks’ paths. D．By analyzing calls from mother birds. 29．What is Dr. Lee’s attitude towards the AI technology? A．Supportive. B．Interested. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Life Habits of Rare Grassland Birds B．Using AI to Help Protect Plains Wanderers C．The Difficulties in Saving Plains Wanderers D．Scientists’ New Findings on Plains Wanderers C It is 7:00 a.m. at the Siberian Tiger (东北虎) Park in China. The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food. Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers, are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos. Why are they in danger? ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space. ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones. ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing. ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller. At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 31．What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A．6:30 a.m. B．7:00 a.m. C．7:30 a.m. D．7:50 a.m. 32．How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A．about 200 B．more than 600 C．fewer than 600 D．600 33．What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A．Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B．Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C．Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D．Help the tigers give birth to fewer babies. 34．Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A．The forests are getting smaller. B．The hunters may kill them for money. C．Too many cubs are born every year. D．The food is not enough. 35．Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A．Planting more trees to make new forests for tigers. B．Feeding more Siberian tigers in the zoo. C．Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D．Cutting down more forests. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题， 每小题1分，共5分） 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Elephant Families African elephants live together in a herd (群). They all take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch (女酋长). 36 They follow the matriarch because she guards the family from danger. Adult male elephants go off to live on their own and start families. 37 Young elephants learn by copying other elephants. Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old. They have long memories. A matriarch can remember where to find water even in a dry period. The herd will follow her there. 38 Elephants talk to each other with low rumbling (隆隆的) sounds. Some rumbling sounds are so deep that people cannot hear them. 39 So they greet each other by touch. They use their trunks (象鼻) and feet. If danger comes, mothers flap their ears to call their babies. The adult elephants circle around the babies. Other animals do not often attack elephants. But a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, the elephants make loud sounds. 40 The matriarch puts herself in front of the herd. She flaps her ears out wide. This makes her look even larger. Then she lowers her head and charges the enemy in a big cloud of dust. A．Elephants are intelligent animals. B．They also hit the ground with their trunks. C．Elephants have lots of feeling in their skin. D．They can also smell and pick up things with it. E．The other elephants are daughters, sisters, cousins, and babies. F．She can also remember the safest place to cross a fast-moving river. 三、项目情境（读写综合）（共两节：满分20分） 第一节 项目情境选择题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 配对阅读。左栏是某校在暑假到英国交流的学生对保护野生动物和环境关心与爱好的信息，右栏是有关专家讲座的宣传海报。请为每一个交流生选择最适合的讲座。 41 Blake likes animals.

People have been studying chimps both in the wild and in captivity (圈养) for over 40 years. In 1960, a researcher named Jane Goodall began to live with and study wild chimpanzees in Africa. She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat. In captivity, where they live in zoos and science centers, they can be found in 21 different African countries, living in forests. Chimpanzees are able to adapt (适应) to changes in their environment. They can move to a new place, make new nests, and find new foods. There have even been experiments which show that a few chimpanzees have learned to use computers and to play games! Some scientists argue that chimpanzees can show emotions such as happiness or sadness. Although chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals, they are in danger now and people are destroying their natural habitats. By cutting down trees for firewood and using the space to build houses, humans leave chimpanzees with smaller areas to live in. Fortunately many organizations and researchers have started to take steps to protect them. Everyone should be aware of their work and it is important to help these amazing animals. 46．How long have people been studying chimpanzees both in the wild and in captivity? 47．What did the researcher, Jane Goodall, learn about chimpanzees? 48．How do chimpanzees adapt to changes in their environment? 49．Have all chimpanzees learned to use computers or to play games? 50．According to the passage, why should everyone help chimpanzees? 四、写作（共三节；满分35分） 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据下列语篇以及所给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。在填写答题卡时，要求写出完整单词。（每空只写一词） Animals are people’s friends.
