His他的；B. Her她的；C. Its它的；D. Their他们的。空格处需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词“conversation（谈话）”。根据前文“three brothers（三兄弟）”和they watched（他们看到）”，可知这里的谈话是属于这三兄弟的，因此使用“Their”。故答案为D。 17. 句意：“过去不是这样的，”曼尼说。“还记得我们过去在这条河里自由自在地游泳吗？但是现在我甚至不敢把脚伸进河里，因为我可能会染上疾病。…”A. And并且；B. So所以；C. But但是；D. For因为。前一句回忆过去在河里自由游泳的美好时光，后一句表达现在不敢下河的现状，前后形成强烈的对比和转折关系，因此使用连词“But”。故答案为C。 18. 句意：是时候让人们知道垃圾应该被扔进正确的地方了。A. reason原因；B. person人；C. time时间；D. place地方。根据常识和语境，人们应该把垃圾扔进指定的垃圾投放点。“put into the right place”意为“放进正确的地方”，符合语境。故答案为D。 19. 句意：大家一致认为，一些懒惰的人让这个国家变得如此的脏。A. dirty脏的；B. beautiful美丽的；C. tidy整洁的；D. clean干净的。前文提到河里有很多垃圾（rubbish），说明环境受到了污染。懒惰的人乱扔垃圾导致国家变得如此的“脏”。故答案为A。 20. 句意：然后杰克有了一个主意。“既然我们都退休了，为什么我们不做点什么，而不仅仅是说说？”A. how如何；B. why为什么；C. when什么时候；D. where在哪里。这里是一个固定句型“why don’t we do something?”，用来提出建议，意为“为什么我们不做……呢？”。故答案为B。 21. 句意：我们不能清理一切，但也许我们可以清理这条河。A. country国家；B. house房子；C. river河；D. park公园。根据前文提到的“St. James River（圣詹姆斯河）”以及后文三兄弟清理河流的行动，可知此处指的是清理这条河。故答案为C。 22. 句意：他们都喜欢这个想法，曼尼为他们的努力取了一个名字——绿色舰队，旨在让圣詹姆斯河再次变绿。A. green绿色；B. black黑色；C. yellow黄色；D. white白色。“Green Fleet（绿色舰队）”的名字暗示了他们希望河流恢复绿色的生态，“green（绿色）”在这里象征着无污染、健康的自然环境。故答案为A。 23. 句意：在他们的船上，他们捡起了所有能看到的在河上移动的垃圾。A. threw away扔掉；B. picked up捡起；C. burnt out燃尽；D. put off推迟。根据语境，三兄弟清理河流的行动应该是捡起河里的垃圾。故答案为B。 24. 句意：很快，一些朋友加入了他们。A. promised承诺；B. left离开；C. joined加入；D. watched观看。根据后文“Then friends told other friends, and by the end of the first year there were more than 200 volunteers, and they cleaned off more than 10 tons of rubbish from the river. （然后朋友们告诉其他朋友，到第一年年底，有200多名志愿者，他们从河里清理了10多吨垃圾。）”，可知是有人加入了他们的清理行动。故答案为C。 25. 句意：他们的工作帮助创造了一条看起来更干净的河流。A. take拿走；B. organize组织；C. dream梦想；D. create创建，造成。三兄弟和朋友们的清理工作使得河流变得更干净，这是一种从无到有或者从差到好的改变，“create（创造）“在这里可以理解为“造就、带来”这种变化。故答案为D。 26. 句意：一些公司也加入并捐赠了资金和物资。A. also也；B. seldom很少；C. hardly几乎不；D. never从不。前文提到了志愿者们清理河流，这里说公司也参与其中。故答案为A。 27. 句意：到第二年年末，绿色舰队发展到了四艘船。A. led领导；B. reduced减少；C. fall落下；D. grew成长，发展。根据前文“The Green Fleet got bigger and better every year.（绿色舰队每年都在变得更大更好。）”可知舰队的规模在扩大，“grew（成长、发展）”符合语境。故答案为D。 28. 句意：在它开始之后五年，三兄弟又可以在周末去河里游泳了。A. within在……之内；B. before在……之前；C. after在……之后；D. during在……期间。根据语境，是在绿色舰队开始行动五年后，河流恢复了清洁，三兄弟才能再次游泳。故答案为C。 29. 句意：不幸的是，一年后，曼尼在他们的工作中死于意外。A.

I still remember when I was young, I would always paint on books, pieces of paper and walls. However, now at school, there are only two art lessons each week. It is far from enough for me. I notice that the 40 minutes for each lesson seem to pass by in a flash because I get completely lost in my artwork. Drawing seems to take me to another world, where time stands still and creativity never stops. I love drawing so much that whenever I have time between classes, I find myself drawing something. I have spent so much time improving my skills that even my classmates are often amazed by my talent. I never boast about my abilities and am always thankful for their praise. I especially enjoy drawing cartoons. This is the area where my creativity is always free. Letting my creativity run wild, I sometimes draw things that surprise even myself. I have drawn cartoons of some teachers I know. Most teachers speak highly of my cartoons. I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something. For me, drawing is a natural way to express myself. It simply allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) and lets my feelings guide my hand.

It refers to animals being hit by vehicles (车辆). A study in 2023 measured, for the first time, the damage China’s fast-developing road network is having on animals in urban areas. Previously, research in China had focused on roadkill in nature reserves. Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University’s School of Life Sciences looked at the problem in cities, where roadkill could have an ever tiger impact. They chose Nanjing, with over 9,700 kilometers of paved roads (铺好的路), as the study subject. Nine roads, including three national highways, totaling over 224 kilometers, were watched every two weeks for a year. The team recorded a total of 293 individual (单独的) roadkill cases. Birds accounted for nearly half a total, making them the most susceptible group to roadkill. Cats, dogs and blackbirds were the three most commonly killed animals. “This may be due to the large number of homeless cats and dogs in urban areas,” Li said. “Abandoned pets are more likely to wander into traffic.” Also, there are many blackbirds in East China that are attracted onto roads by insects like flies, leading to more accidents. Roadkill incidents (事件) happen more often in November and January, the team found. This may be because, for some warm-blooded animals, food is harder to find at this time, so they have to go out and search for food more. “Roadkill has resulted in the decline (下降) of urban animal populations and must be taken seriously,” Li said. The researchers also call on policymakers to put forward related traffic regulations (条例) and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls. 1. What is the focus of the study made by Li Zhongqiu and his team? A. Roadkill in urban areas. B. Roadkill in nature reserves. C. Animal populations in cities. D. Damage caused by building highways. 2. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. Unaffected. B. Acceptable. C. Widely seen. D. Easily influenced. 3. Why are blackbirds a common roadkill animal in China? A. Because they like to wander into traffic. B. Because they have to search for food on roads. C. Because they cannot fly high enough in the sky. D. Because they are often attracted onto roads by insects. 4. What do the researchers suggest doing to reduce roadkill in cities? A. Improving road conditions in cities. B. Sending homeless animals back to nature reserves. C. Setting speed limits and controlling traffic in cities. D. Increasing the number of traffic lights in rural areas. 5. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Study shows the impact of roadkill B. Rising concerns for nature reserves C. Urban animal populations grow bigger D. Increased awareness for homeless animals 【答案】ADDCA 【解析】本文主要介绍了李忠秋及其团队的一项研究。该研究首次测量了中国快速发展的公路网络对城市地区动物造成的伤害。此前，中国的研究主要集中在自然保护区的道路死亡事件，而此次研究聚焦城市地区，发现鸟类是道路死亡事件中最易受影响的群体，流浪猫狗和黑鸟是常见的受害动物。研究还指出，道路死亡事件在11月和1月更频繁，原因是部分温血动物此时难以觅食。最后，研究人员呼吁政策制定者出台相关交通法规和动物保护条例，如限速和交通管制等措施。 1. 题干意思：李忠秋和他的团队所进行的研究的重点是什么？A. 城市地区的道路死亡事件；B. 自然保护区的道路死亡事件；C. 城市动物数量；D. 修建公路造成的损害。根据第2段“Previously, research in China had focused on roadkill in nature reserves.

Birds accounted for nearly half a total, making them the most susceptible group to roadkill.（该团队共记录了293起单独的道路死亡事件。鸟类占总数的近一半，使它们成为道路死亡事件中最‘susceptible’的群体。）”可知，鸟类占比高，说明它们“容易受到道路死亡事件的影响”，因此“susceptible”应表示“容易受影响的”。 故答案为D。 3. 题干意思：为什么黑鸟在中国是常见的道路死亡动物？A. 因为它们喜欢在车流中徘徊；B. 因为它们不得不在路上寻找食物；C. 因为它们在天空中飞得不够高；D. 因为它们经常被昆虫吸引到路上。根据第5段“Also, there are many blackbirds in East China that are attracted onto roads by insects like flies, leading to more accidents.（此外，中国东部有许多黑鸟被像苍蝇这样的昆虫吸引到路上，导致更多事故。）”可知，因为黑鸟经常被昆虫吸引到路上才导致它们是在中国常见的道路死亡动物。故答案为D。 4. 题干意思：研究人员建议做什么来减少城市里的道路死亡事件？A. 改善城市道路状况；B. 将无家可归的动物送回自然保护区；C. 在城市里设置限速和控制交通；D. 增加农村地区的交通信号灯数量。根据最后一段“The researchers also call on policymakers to put forward related traffic regulations (条例) and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls.（研究人员还呼吁政策制定者提出相关交通法规和动物保护条例，如限速和交通管制。）”可知，研究人员建议在城市里设置限速和控制交通来减少城市里的道路死亡事件。故答案为C。 5. 题干意思：这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？A. 研究展示道路死亡事件的影响；B. 提高对自然保护区的关注；C. 城市动物数量增长；D. 增加对流浪动物的关注。文章核心内容是李忠秋团队的研究，该研究首次 测量了公路网络对城市动物的伤害，分析了道路死亡事件的影响（如动物数量下降）及原因，并提出解决措施。选项A“研究展示道路死亡事件的影响”概括了研究的核心内容（测量伤害、分析影响），符合主 旨。故答案为A。 四、信息还原 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Sia Godika was 13 when she saw the barefoot (赤脚的) children of construction workers at a building site near her house. “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” __1__________ “I looked at my own feet and thought, ‘Wow, I’m 13 years old. Those children are seven or eight.’” She opened her closet doors and saw shoes. She wore many of them only a few times and they looked very new. She put them into a big box and hurried to give them all away to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia set up Sole Warriors, a charity aiming to provide shoes for those in need. Sia’s dream is: “ __2__________ ” The idea started in a dinner conversation with her parents and it quickly grew. After she posted the idea online, many people showed their willingness to help her. For months, Sia was busy with her new project. “I was up till 2:00 a.m. reading emails to see how and where we could raise money or get shoes.” __3__________ That need, says Sia, is endless. In a world where the poorest half of the population owns just two per cent of the wealth, about 300 million people can’t pay for shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, more than 90 percent end up in landfills. __4__________ Today that number stands at around 28,000 across several countries, including the USA, China and Liberia. __5__________ The award is one of the most important honours a young person can receive for social action or volunteer work. But her work isn’t done. She says, “Our dream has always been to touch a million feet.” A. Give a pair of shoes, save a mind. B. At that moment, Sia felt sorry for the children. C. In 2021, Sia was given a famous award. D. Sia was happy that she could help more children live better. E. In the future, more shoes will be made in the countryside. F. In its first volunteer drive, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. G. Now the organization gives shoes away to people in need. 【答案】BAFGC 【解析】本文讲述了Sia Godika（西亚·戈迪卡）在13岁时，看到建筑工地赤脚儿童后产生帮助他们的想法，随后成立慈善组织Sole Warriors（鞋履战士），致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。文章还介绍了该组织的发展历程、面临的挑战以及西亚的未来目标。 1. 根据前文提到西亚看到赤脚儿童“They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.（他们只是在那个建筑工地上走来走去，就像这是他们的日常练习一样。）以及后文描述她“I looked at my own feet and thought, ‘Wow, I’m 13 years old. Those children are seven or eight.’（我看着自己的脚，心想，‘哇，我13岁了。那些孩子七八岁。）”可知，空格处需要一个句子来连接她看到赤脚孩子时的心理活动和随后的行动。B选项“At that moment, Sia felt sorry for the children.（那一刻，西亚为孩子们感到难过。）”正好承接上文看到赤脚孩子的场景，并引出下文她决定送鞋子的举动。故答案为B。 2. 根据前文“Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia set up Sole Warriors, a charity aiming to provide shoes for those in need. Sia’s dream is: …（同年晚些时候，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，西亚创立了‘鞋履战士’慈善组织，旨在为有需要的人提供鞋子。西亚的梦想是：‘……’）”以及后文“The idea started in a dinner conversation with her parents and it quickly grew. After she posted the idea online, many people showed their willingness to help her.（这个想法始于她与父母的一次晚餐谈话，并迅速发展起来。在她将这个想法发布到网上后，许多人都表示愿意帮助她。）” 空格处应该是西亚的梦想或该机构的口号。A选项“Give a pair of shoes, save a mind.（给一双鞋，拯救一颗心。）”符合慈善机构的宗旨，表达了她希望通过提供鞋子来改善他人生活的愿景。故答案为A。 3. 根据前文“For months, Sia was busy with her new project. “I was up till 2:00 a.m. reading emails to see how and where we could raise money or get shoes.”（几个月来，西亚一直忙于她的新项目。‘我一直读邮件到凌晨2点，想看看我们如何以及在哪里筹集资金或买鞋。’）”以及后文“That need, says Sia, is endless. In a world where the poorest half of the population owns just two per cent of the wealth, about 300 million people can’t pay for shoes.（西亚表示，这种需求是无穷无尽的。在一个最贫穷的人口占一半、却拥有全球财富仅2%的世界里，大约有3亿人买不起鞋子。）”可知，空格处应该描述她项目初期的成果。F选项“In its first volunteer drive, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes.（在第一次志愿者活动中，Sole Warriors收集并分发了700双鞋。）”承接了她忙碌筹备项目的结果，并引出后文对鞋子需求量的进一步说明。故答案为F。 4. 根据前文“Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, more than 90 percent end up in landfills.（在每年生产的近240亿双鞋中，90%以上最终被填埋。）”以及后文“Today that number stands at around 28,000 across several countries, including the USA, China and Liberia.（目前，这一数字在包括美国、中国和利比里亚在内的多个国家约为2.8万。）”可知，空格处需要一个句子来过渡，说明该组织现在的运作情况。G选项“Now the organization gives shoes away to people in need.（现在该组织向有需要的人分发鞋子。）”总结了该组织的现状，并引出后文关于分发数量的增长。故答案为G。 5. 根据前文“Today that number stands at around 28,000 across several countries, including the USA, China and Liberia.（目前，这一数字在包括美国、中国和利比里亚在内的多个国家约为2.8万。）”以及后文“The award is one of the most important honours a young person can receive for social action or volunteer work.（该奖项是年轻人在社会行动或志愿服务方面所能获得的最重要荣誉之一。）”可知，空格处应该提到她获得了某个奖项。C选项“In 2021, Sia was given a famous award.（2021年，西亚获得了著名奖项。）直接引出了后文对该奖项意义的描述。故答案为C。 五、词汇运用。 A. 根据所给中文提示、英文释义或首字母提示，写出句中所缺单词。 1. On the school trip, all students must ________________ (表现) well and follow the rules set by their teachers. 【答案】behave 【解析】句意：在学校旅行中，所有学生都必须表现良好并遵守老师制定的规则。 空格前是情态动词must，后面需要接动词原形。括号内的中文提示是“表现”，对应的英文动词是behave。behave well意为“表现良好”。故答案为behave。 2. It is ________________ (必要的) for us to protect the environment by reducing the use of plastic. 【答案】necessary 【解析】句意：对我们来说，通过减少塑料的使用来保护环境是必要的。 句型结构为It is +形容词+ for sb. to do sth.，表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”。括号内的中文提示是“必要的”，对应的英文形容词是necessary。故答案为necessary。 3. Reading various books is a great ________________ (an advantage, or help that you get from sth) to our personal growth and knowledge. 【答案】benefit 【解析】句意：阅读各种书籍对我们的个人成长和提高知识大有裨益。 空格前有不定冠词a和形容词great，说明这里需要填入一个单数名词。括号内的英文解释“an advantage, or help that you get from sth（从某事中获得的优势或帮助）”正是单词benefit（益处，好处）的释义。故答案为benefit。 4. My piano teacher is very ________________ (expecting people to obey rules); she needs me to practise for at least one hour every day. 【答案】strict 【解析】句意：我的钢琴老师非常严格（要求人们遵守规则）；她需要我每天至少练习一小时。 空格前是系动词is和副词very，后面需要接形容词作表语。括号内的英文解释“expecting people to obey rules（期望人们遵守规则）”对应形容词strict（严格的），故答案为strict。 5. We should not p________________ the air by burning garbage openly, as it is harmful to our health. 【答案】pollute 【解析】句意：我们不应该通过露天焚烧垃圾来污染空气，因为这对我们的健康有害。 空格前是should not，后面需要接动词原形。根据句意“焚烧垃圾”会对“空气”造成负面影响，且单词以p开头，可知应填入pollute（污染）。故答案为pollute。 B. 根据句意，用所给单词的适当形式填空。 1. ________________ (polite) is very important in our daily life because it helps us build good relationships with others. 【答案】Politeness 【解析】句意：礼貌在我们的日常生活中非常重要，因为它帮助我们与他人建立良好的关系。 空格位于句首，且在句中作主语，需要使用名词形式。所给词polite是形容词，其名词形式为politeness（礼貌）。注意句首字母需大写。故答案为Politeness。 2. Many students take part in different ________________ (compete) at school to improve their skills and gain experience. 【答案】competitions 【解析】句意：许多学生参加学校里不同的比赛，以提高他们的技能并获得经验。 空格前是形容词different（不同的），后面需要接可数名词的复数形式。所给词compete是动词，其名词形式为competition，复数为competitions。故答案为competitions。 3. The news about the final of the football match ________________ (spread) quickly through every classroom yesterday. 【答案】spread 【解析】句意：昨天关于足球决赛的消息迅速传遍了每一个教室。 句末有时间状语yesterday，说明句子时态为一般过去时。所给词spread（传播）的过去式和原形相同，均为spread。故答案为spread。 4. At last, the fire ________________ (control) by the firefighters after they worked for several hours in the forest. 【答案】was controlled 【解析】句意：最后，消防员们在森林里工作了几个小时后，大火被扑灭了（被控制了）。 句子的主语the fire（大火）与动词control（控制）之间是被动关系（火被控制），且描述的是过去发生的事情（worked 提示过去时），因此需要使用一般过去时的被动语态was/were + 过去分词。主语the fire是单数，故答案为was controlled。 5. We should use our natural resources ________________ (wise) so that they will still be available for future generations. 【答案】wisely 【解析】句意：我们应该明智地使用我们的自然资源，以便它们仍能为后代所用。 空格处需要一个副词来修饰动词use（使用）。所给词wise是形容词，其副词形式为wisely（明智地）。故答案为wisely。 六、根据中文提示完成句子，每空一词。 1. 当老师要求我们向外国客人展示良好礼仪时，我们所有人同时站了起来并微笑着。 When the teacher asked us to show good ______________ to the foreign ______________ , we all stood up and smiled ______________ ______________ ______________ . 【答案】manners；guests；all at once 2. 这次志愿活动后，我们都精疲力尽。 All of us were ______________ ______________ after the ______________ work. 【答案】tired out；voluntary 3. 不管你愿不愿意，明天你最好把这本书还回图书馆。 ______________ you like ______________ ______________ , you ______________ ______________ return it to the library tomorrow. 【答案】Whether；or not；had better 4. 当涉及环境保护时，政府承诺将采取更有效的措施。 ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ environmental protection, the government ______________ to take more effective measures. 【答案】When it comes to；promises 5. 看着这些电影，我妈妈想起了自己在乡下度过的美好童年时光。 When my mom watches the movies, she______________ ______________ ______________ the wonderful childhood she spent in the countryside. 【答案】is reminded of 七、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In Vietnam, Nga lives in a community where people, especially women, struggle to get little healthcare. __1__________ (thank) to Orbis supporters and partners, Nga got the care she deserves.

Coal and oil play an important role in our daily life. We use them to produce electricity and power cars. Without them, modern life would be impossible. However, we face serious problems. These natural resources are running out day by day. Also, burning coal and oil causes air pollution, which harms our health and the environment. To solve this problem, we should develop and use new energy, such as solar and wind power. It is clean and never runs out. Besides, we can save energy in small ways, like turning off lights when leaving rooms. Small actions can make a big difference. Let’s work together to build a greener world and enjoy a better life. 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年译林八年级第二学期英语期末模拟练习（3） 一、单项选择 1. ____ is the first step to success, so believe in yourself.

B Art has always been my favourite subject, as it allows me to do my favourite hobby. I still remember when I was young, I would always paint on books, pieces of paper and walls. However, now at school, there are only two art lessons each week. It is far from enough for me. I notice that the 40 minutes for each lesson seem to pass by in a flash because I get completely lost in my artwork. Drawing seems to take me to another world, where time stands still and creativity never stops. I love drawing so much that whenever I have time between classes, I find myself drawing something. I have spent so much time improving my skills that even my classmates are often amazed by my talent. I never boast about my abilities and am always thankful for their praise. I especially enjoy drawing cartoons. This is the area where my creativity is always free. Letting my creativity run wild, I sometimes draw things that surprise even myself. I have drawn cartoons of some teachers I know. Most teachers speak highly of my cartoons. I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something. For me, drawing is a natural way to express myself. It simply allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) and lets my feelings guide my hand. The result is always a happy one, leaving me with a sense of achievement that no other subject can match. 1. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Drawing at school. B. Doing his favourite hobby. C. Having two art lessons every week. D. Painting on books, pieces of paper and walls. 2. Why does the writer feel time passes by quickly in art lessons? A. Because he enjoys his artwork a lot. B. Because he is not good at counting time. C. Because he has no creative ideas at all. D. Because he can’t manage the time well. 3. The underlined part “boast about” in Paragraph 3 means “ ____ ”. A. look down on B. wonder C. show off D. doubt 4. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about the writer’s drawings? A. They are never shown to anyone. B. He is sometimes surprised by them. C. They are only drawn during art lessons. D. They are all about the teachers at school. 5. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Time to learn drawing. B. Draw for the teachers. C. Take drawing as a career. D. My love for drawing: A creative journey. C Roadkill is a common sight on highways and sometimes in cities. It refers to animals being hit by vehicles (车辆). A study in 2023 measured, for the first time, the damage China’s fast-developing road network is having on animals in urban areas. Previously, research in China had focused on roadkill in nature reserves. Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University’s School of Life Sciences looked at the problem in cities, where roadkill could have an ever tiger impact. They chose Nanjing, with over 9,700 kilometers of paved roads (铺好的路), as the study subject. Nine roads, including three national highways, totaling over 224 kilometers, were watched every two weeks for a year. The team recorded a total of 293 individual (单独的) roadkill cases. Birds accounted for nearly half a total, making them the most susceptible group to roadkill. Cats, dogs and blackbirds were the three most commonly killed animals. “This may be due to the large number of homeless cats and dogs in urban areas,” Li said. “Abandoned pets are more likely to wander into traffic.” Also, there are many blackbirds in East China that are attracted onto roads by insects like flies, leading to more accidents. Roadkill incidents (事件) happen more often in November and January, the team found. This may be because, for some warm-blooded animals, food is harder to find at this time, so they have to go out and search for food more. “Roadkill has resulted in the decline (下降) of urban animal populations and must be taken seriously,” Li said. The researchers also call on policymakers to put forward related traffic regulations (条例) and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls. 1. What is the focus of the study made by Li Zhongqiu and his team? A. Roadkill in urban areas. B. Roadkill in nature reserves. C. Animal populations in cities. D. Damage caused by building highways. 2. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. Unaffected. B. Acceptable. C. Widely seen. D. Easily influenced. 3. Why are blackbirds a common roadkill animal in China? A. Because they like to wander into traffic. B. Because they have to search for food on roads. C. Because they cannot fly high enough in the sky. D. Because they are often attracted onto roads by insects. 4. What do the researchers suggest doing to reduce roadkill in cities? A. Improving road conditions in cities. B. Sending homeless animals back to nature reserves. C. Setting speed limits and controlling traffic in cities. D. Increasing the number of traffic lights in rural areas. 5. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Study shows the impact of roadkill B. Rising concerns for nature reserves C. Urban animal populations grow bigger D.
