It lives high in the mountains of Central Asia, where the weather is cold and harsh. With its thick fur and long tail, it is perfectly adapted to its environment. However, this beautiful creature is now endangered. There are only about 4,000 to 6,500 snow leopards left in the wild. Their biggest threat comes from humans. Poachers hunt them for their fur and bones, which are used in traditional medicine. Farmers also kill snow leopards to protect their livestock (牲畜). When a snow leopard attacks a sheep or goat, farmers often retaliate by setting traps or poisoning the animals. Habitat loss is another major problem. As human populations grow, more land is used for farming and building roads. This reduces the space where snow leopards can live and hunt. Climate change is also affecting their habitat. Rising temperatures are melting the glaciers and changing the vegetation, which impacts the animals they prey on, such as the ibex (北山羊). Fortunately, many organizations are working to save the snow leopard. They set up protected areas where hunting is banned. They also work with local farmers to help them protect their livestock without harming the leopards. For example, they provide strong fences and guard dogs. Education programs teach children about the importance of snow leopards and how to coexist with them. Tourism can also help. Responsible ecotourism brings money to local communities, giving them a reason to protect the leopards instead of hunting them. However, tourists must follow strict rules to avoid disturbing the animals. Saving the snow leopard is not easy, but it is possible. With international cooperation and local support, we can ensure that this magnificent animal continues to roam the mountains for generations to come. 26. Where does the snow leopard mainly live? A. In the rainforests of South America. B. In the deserts of Africa. C. In the high mountains of Central Asia. D. In the grasslands of Australia. 27. Why do poachers hunt snow leopards? A. For their meat. B. For their fur and bones. C. To protect livestock. D. To sell them as pets. 28. What does the underlined word “retaliate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. 合作 B. 报复 C. 庆祝 D. 逃跑 29. Which of the following is NOT a way to protect snow leopards mentioned in the text? A. Setting up protected areas. B. Providing guard dogs to farmers. C. Encouraging more hunting tourism. D. Running education programs. 30. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe the life of snow leopards. B. To explain why snow leopards are endangered. C. To introduce ways to save snow leopards. D. To compare snow leopards with other big cats. B How Animals Survive in Winter Winter is a tough time for animals. Food becomes scarce, temperatures drop, and snow covers the ground. To survive, animals have developed various strategies. Some migrate, some hibernate, and others adapt in different ways. Migration is a common strategy. Birds like geese and swans fly south to warmer areas where food is plentiful. Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles from North America to Mexico. They navigate using the sun and Earth’s magnetic field. Migration is not easy—it requires a lot of energy and involves many dangers, such as storms and predators. Hibernation is another survival tactic. Bears are the most famous hibernators, but many other animals also hibernate, including bats, hedgehogs, and some rodents. During hibernation, an animal’s body temperature drops, its heart rate slows down, and its metabolism (新陈代谢) decreases. This allows it to survive on stored fat. Some frogs and turtles bury themselves in mud at the bottom of ponds, where they can breathe through their skin. Not all animals migrate or hibernate. Some, like the arctic fox and the snowshoe hare, change their fur color. In winter, their fur turns white to blend in with the snow, providing camouflage from predators. Deer and elk grow thicker coats and switch their diet from grass to twigs and bark, which are easier to find under the snow. Even insects have winter survival tricks. Honeybees cluster together in their hive, vibrating their wings to generate heat. Queen bumblebees burrow underground and sleep through the winter, while the rest of the colony dies. Some insects, like the woolly bear caterpillar, produce a natural antifreeze that prevents their cells from freezing. Human activities are making winter survival harder for many animals. Climate change is causing winters to be warmer and less predictable. This can disrupt migration patterns and hibernation cycles. For example, if a bear wakes up from hibernation too early and can’t find food, it may starve. Protecting natural habitats and reducing carbon emissions are crucial to helping animals survive the winter. 31. What does the word “scarce” in Paragraph 1 most likely mean? A. Plentiful. B. Hard to find. C. Expensive. D. Delicious. 32. Which animal is mentioned as an example of a long-distance migrant? A. The arctic fox. B. The honeybee. C. The monarch butterfly. D. The grizzly bear. 33. How do honeybees survive the cold winter? A. By migrating to warmer areas. B. By hibernating in mud. C. By clustering together and generating heat. D. By changing fur color. 34. Why do some animals change their fur color in winter? A. To attract mates. B. To blend in with the snow. C. To absorb more sunlight. D. To warn predators. 35. According to the last paragraph, how does climate change affect animals? A. It makes winters colder and longer. B. It disrupts migration and hibernation. C. It provides more food for them. D. It makes their fur thicker. C 短文还原 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Elephants are amazing animals with incredible memories. They can remember places, other elephants, and even humans they haven’t seen for decades. 36.______ One reason is the structure of their brains. Elephants have a large hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and emotions. This is similar to humans, but proportionally larger. 37.______ They can remember the location of water holes even after many years, which is crucial for survival in dry environments. Social memory is also important. Elephant herds are led by matriarchs (女族长)—the oldest and most experienced females. 38.______ She teaches them migration routes, where to find food, and how to avoid dangers. Young elephants learn by observing and imitating her. Emotional memory plays a role too. Elephants never forget kindness or cruelty. They have been observed showing affection to humans who treated them well years ago. 39.______ This emotional depth contributes to their strong social bonds. 40.______ In one experiment, elephants recognized the voices and scents of their relatives even after being separated for over a decade. This ability helps them maintain family ties across vast distances. Understanding elephant memory is not just fascinating—it’s important for conservation. Knowing how they remember migration routes can help us create better protected areas. It also reminds us that elephants are intelligent, sensitive beings that deserve our respect and protection. A. They also remember those who harmed them. B. Their memory is vital for their complex social lives. C. But how good is their memory compared to other animals? D. The matriarch remembers everything her herd needs to survive. E. Scientific studies have proven their extraordinary memory abilities. F. This large brain allows them to store vast amounts of information. 四、选词填空（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 选用方框中所给的单词或短语并用其适当形式填空，有一个单词或短语是多余的。 in the wild,  divide…into…,  taking action,  as a result,  live on,  shelter 41. __________ immediately is necessary to save the endangered species before they disappear forever. 42.

It is considered sacred in many Asian cultures and symbolizes longevity and luck. However, this elegant bird is endangered. There are only about 2,750 red-crowned cranes left in the world. They breed in Siberia, Russia, and northeastern China during the summer. In winter, they migrate to coastal wetlands in China and Korea. These wetlands provide them with food like fish, crabs, and water plants. The biggest threat to red-crowned cranes is habitat loss. Wetlands are being drained for agriculture, industry, and urban development. Pollution from factories and farms also harms their food sources. Illegal hunting, though less common now, still occurs. Conservation efforts are ongoing. China has established several nature reserves specifically for red-crowned cranes, such as the Zhalong Nature Reserve in Heilongjiang. These reserves protect the birds’ breeding and wintering grounds. International cooperation between China, Russia, Japan, and Korea is also crucial because the birds migrate across borders. Local communities are involved in protection. Farmers are educated about the importance of wetlands and are encouraged to use eco-friendly farming methods. Eco-tourism provides income for locals, giving them an incentive to protect the cranes. School programs teach children about the birds and their habitat. Despite these efforts, the red-crowned crane remains vulnerable. Continued protection and habitat restoration are essential. Every winter, when the cranes return to the wetlands, they remind us of the beauty of nature and our responsibility to protect it. 56. What does the red-crowned crane symbolize in Asian cultures? 57. Where do red-crowned cranes breed in summer? 58. Why are wetlands important for red-crowned cranes? 59. What is the name of the nature reserve in Heilongjiang? 60. How do local farmers benefit from eco-tourism? 七、完成句子（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据汉语意思完成句子，每空一词。 61. 政府应该阻止人们砍伐森林。 The government should __________ people __________ __________ down forests. 62. 对于小狮子来说，在野外生存很容易。 __________ __________ __________ for baby lions to __________ in the wild. 63. 蓝鲸是地球上最大的动物之一。 The blue whale is __________ __________ __________ __________ on Earth. 64. 大熊猫主要以一种特殊的竹子为食。 Giant pandas __________ __________ __________ a special kind of bamboo. 65. 我们能做些什么来保护野生动物？ What can we do __________ __________ __________ __________? 八、书面表达（共10分） 假设你是李华，你所在的学校正在开展“保护野生动物”的主题活动。请你根据以下提示，给你的英国笔友Tom写一封电子邮件，介绍你最喜欢的一种野生动物（熊猫、金丝猴或藏羚羊），并呼吁大家共同保护它们。 提示： 1. 介绍这种动物的外貌特征和生活习性； 2. 说明它面临的威胁（如栖息地丧失、偷猎等）； 3. 提出至少两条保护措施； 4. 表达你的希望。 要求： 1. 邮件需包含所有提示内容，可适当发挥； 2. 词数90词左右，邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 文中不得使用真实的人名、校名等相关信息； 4. 参考词汇：habitat n. 栖息地；poach vt. 偷猎；reserve n. 自然保护区 Dear Tom, How is everything going?

I am writing to tell you about my favorite wild animal and why we need to protect it. My favorite animal is the giant panda. It has black and white fur and looks very cute. Pandas live in bamboo forests in southwestern China. They mainly eat bamboo and spend most of their day eating and resting. Sadly, pandas are endangered. Their biggest threats are habitat loss due to deforestation and climate change, which affects bamboo growth. Some are also harmed by illegal poaching. To protect them, we should establish more nature reserves and stop cutting down bamboo forests. We also need stricter laws against poaching. Additionally, we can support breeding programs to increase their population. I hope we can work together to protect these amazing animals. Looking forward to hearing from you.
