Let me tell you my story. When I was young, I lived in a dangerous world. Humans raised guns and shot my family members dead. Many of my relatives lost their lives. The young elephants were forced to do tricks to make humans laugh. We lived without a care in the world — but not in a good way. We were scared all the time. But now, things are different. Humans have changed. They no longer chase or harm us. They leave bags of corn and fruit to guide us in the right direction. They use drones to follow our progress. Volunteers protect us from danger day and night. We move freely across the land. We swim and play happily in the rivers. I have seen two worlds — the old world and the new world. In the old world, humans were cruel. In the new world, humans respect and value all animal species. I hope the new world will last forever. 36.

These beautiful birds live in wetlands in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. They have white feathers, black necks, and a bright red patch on their heads — just like a crown. Unfortunately, red-crowned cranes are in great danger. There are only about 2,000 to 3,000 left in the wild. Why are they disappearing? First, their wetland homes are being destroyed by human activities, such as building cities and farms. Second, pollution is making the water and food unsafe for them to eat. Third, some people still hunt them illegally. But there is good news. Many people are working hard to save these beautiful birds. In China, the government has set up nature reserves to protect their habitats. Volunteers watch over the cranes day and night to keep them safe from hunters. Scientists are studying their living habits to find better ways to protect them. Local schools have also joined the effort. Students learn about the importance of protecting endangered animals. They make posters and raise money to help the cranes. Some students even visit the nature reserves to help clean the wetlands. Thanks to these efforts, the number of red-crowned cranes is slowly increasing. This shows that when people work together, we can make a difference. 41. Where do red-crowned cranes live? A. In mountains. B. In forests. C. In wetlands. D. In deserts. 42. How many red-crowned cranes are left in the wild? A. About 1,000. B. About 2,000 to 3,000. C. About 5,000. D. About 10,000. 43. What is NOT mentioned as a reason why red-crowned cranes are in danger? A. Their habitats are being destroyed. B. Pollution is making food unsafe. C. Climate change is making winters too cold. D. Some people hunt them illegally. 44. What do volunteers do to help the cranes? A. They build houses for them. B. They watch over them day and night. C. They feed them by hand. D. They take them to zoos. 45. What does the passage say about the number of red-crowned cranes? A. It is still going down. B. It has stopped changing. C. It is slowly increasing. D.

But you don’t have to be a scientist to help. Here are some simple things you can do to make a difference. Learn about endangered animals The first step to helping animals is learning about them. Read books, watch documentaries, and search online to find out which animals are in danger and why. The more you know, the better you can help.

What is the first step to helping endangered animals according to the passage? A. Donating money. B. Learning about them. C. Joining wildlife events. D. Writing letters to the government. 47. Why shouldn’t we buy products made from endangered animals? A. Because they are too expensive. B. Because they are not beautiful. C. Because buying them causes more animals to be killed. D.

E 阅读下面短文,回答下列问题。(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分) The Changing Landscape of Endangered Species Protections In March 2026, the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) will be held in Brazil. This UN wildlife conservation meeting will bring together governments, scientists, and conservation organizations to address the growing pressures on migratory species and their habitats. A recent report shows that climate change is making many species more vulnerable. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the planet, threatening ice-dependent animals like seals and polar bears. In 2025, several seal species were moved to higher threat levels on the IUCN Red List because of melting sea ice. However, there are also success stories. The global population of green sea turtles has increased by about 28% since the 1970s due to decades of conservation efforts. In China, the number of giant pandas has increased thanks to the establishment of nature reserves and anti-poaching laws. The government has also set up ecological corridors to connect isolated panda populations, allowing them to move and breed more freely. The Natura 2000 network in Europe, one of the largest networks of protected areas in the world, has helped revive several bird species. The same approach is being adopted in China’s Sanjiangyuan National Park. These examples show that when people work together, we can make a difference. 56. When and where will the 15th CMS COP15 be held? 57. Why are Arctic seal species facing greater threats according to the 2025 IUCN update? 58. How much has the global population of green sea turtles increased since the 1970s? 59. What has China done to protect giant pandas? 60. What does the Natura 2000 network in Europe focus on? 六、情景交际(共 5 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 5 分) 从方框中选择恰当的句子补全对话。有一项为多余选项。 Mike: Hi, Lisa. Did you watch the documentary about giant pandas last night?
