But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels __11__ now. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people __12__ them. They can hunt and kill them legally. The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long __13__, which helps them jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. __14__, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20cm. But the grey squirrel is a __15__ animal. The head-and-body length is between 23 and 30 cm. This size may let them store more fat and __16__ them to live through a hard winter. So __17__ is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason. Red squirrels live high up in __18__, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means the loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel's population. Another reason is the grey squirrel's __19__ to get food easily from people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel __20__ live in towns and cities. Another problem for red squirrels is illness, which is fatal to them. __21__, the number of red squirrels is dropping year by year.

At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa. But today, there are only 450,000 left. This is mainly because of people's hunting for ivory. With need for ivory in markets growing, people keep killing elephants. Now at least 20,000 African elephants die each year. People call ivory "white gold". Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery and works of art. And the ivory material itself is so strong that people can store it for long. That's why many people are willing to pay high prices for things made of ivory. However, no matter how expensive the ivory is, it's wrong of humans to kill elephants. So some scientists are working hard on making the same beauty of ivory with no killing. Thaddaa Rath, from a college of Austria has created the man-made ivory called "Digory" with her team. The chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, but it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye. Another scientist, Fritz Vollrath from the UK, who is also working to protect elephants, felt excited that Digory could save many elephants from danger. He said, "We still need to do more work to improve Digory so that people around the world will accept Digory and like to buy and use it. And I believe that technology like this will help protect more wildlife." 26. How does the writer tell us elephants are in danger in Paragraph 1? A. By showing us numbers. B. By introducing Africa. C. By telling us a story. D. By giving an example. 27. Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree? A. Digory will save all the elephants from danger. B. It's impossible for the world to accept man-made ivory. C. Technology will help support the protection of wildlife. D. Scientists have already found ways to make better Digory. 28. Which is the right structure of the article? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤ B The giant panda, the national treasure of China, is not only a rare species but also a symbol of ecological conservation. In recent years, China has made great progress in protecting and restoring the giant panda population. Let's take a look. Wild panda population growth The number of wild pandas has increased from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900, based on the results of the fourth national panda survey. Habitat growth Since the 1960s, China has created 67 nature parks mainly to protect giant pandas and their homes. The area for pandas has grown from 1.39 million hectares to 2.58 million hectares. Returning pandas to the wild China started a study to release giant pandas back into the wild in 2003 and has set free 12 pandas after special training. Now, 10 of them are still living in the wild. International panda protection China has done joint research on protecting giant pandas with 26 organizations in 20 countries and has successfully raised 41 groups of pandas and 68 baby pandas during this time. The number of pandas living in zoos around the world has reached 728. These achievements are not only a victory for giant pandas but also an important step forward in global environmental protection. Through the combined efforts of China and the international community, the future of giant pandas looks brighter. 29. How many wild pandas are there in China now? A. About 1,100. B. About 1,900. C. About 67. D. About 728. 30. What does the underlined word "joint" mean? A. 共同的 B. 关节 C. 连带的 D. 结合处 31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Wild panda population growth. B. Habitat growth for pandas. C. Returning pandas to the wild. D. Feeding pandas in the zoo. 32. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. China has set an example for the global wildlife protection. B. Pandas can now get used to the wild completely. C. More and more pandas will be sent to foreign countries. D. There will be no dangers for pandas in the future. C All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals cannot make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters. A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras. Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy. A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals. Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ring-tailed cats also come out only at night. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ring-tailed cats. Nothing is wasted in a food web. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ring-tailed cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean. 33. Where do all living things get energy first from? A. The sun. B. Plants. C. Animals. D. Food. 34. Why don't kangaroo rats need to drink water? A. Because they don't feel thirsty. B. Because they get water from plants. C. Because they eat much food. D. Because they store water in their bodies. 35. What does the underlined word "scavengers" mean in Chinese? A. 食肉动物 B. 食草动物 C. 食腐动物 D. 杂食动物 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. All animals eat plants for food. B. A food web shows how food chains work together. C. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat coyotes in the desert. D. Scavengers do an important job in keeping animals safe. D Recently, many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots in the movie Ne Zha 2. As a result, people start to buy real marmots online as pets. However, many organizations have quickly warned the public that these wild animals are actually high-risk carriers of the plague. Marmots are common rodents in North-west China. Listed as a second-class protected animal in China, they always choose cool mountain grasslands, open deserts, and rocky hills as their homes. They are good at digging holes and each hole has a different purpose. They mainly live on fresh grass and juicy plants like apples or lettuce. Living in family groups, these social creatures work together and communicate often to survive in the tough environment. Even if marmots may look harmless, these furry animals carry plague bacteria, which cause a serious disease that killed over 100 million people in historic outbreaks like the Black Death. This infection can spread through minor cuts or even breath droplets, causing high fever, painful lumps under the skin, and bleeding. Without treatment, it remains highly dangerous with survival chances as low as zero. The National Health Commission advises to: · Keep safe distance when meeting wild marmots · Never keep them as pets, touch, or feed them · Report injured animals to forestry workers instead of helping directly · Seek medical care in time if you develop fever or lumps after contact The recent online sales of marmots have raised alarms. While their round faces might make us want to get close, health organizations remind everyone that cuteness isn't worth risking lives. Protecting both wildlife and public health means watching animals safely from a distance. 37. Why do people start to buy real marmots online as pets? A. Because they are cheap and easy to keep. B. Because they fell in love with cute marmots in the movie. C. Because they want to protect marmots. D. Because marmots are good at digging holes. 38. Where do marmots usually live? A. In warm cities. B. In cool mountain grasslands. C. In wet forests. D. In deep rivers. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Marmots are first-class protected animals in China. B. Marmots only eat fresh grass and apples. C. The plague can spread through breath droplets. D. We can touch injured marmots to help them. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Marmots are cute animals in the movie. B. How to keep marmots as pets safely. C. Why marmots carry plague bacteria. D. Keep away from wild marmots for health safety. 第二节 请认真阅读下面的短文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Wild animals are our friends and they play an important role in nature. ____41____ Here are some things we can do to protect wild animals. ____42____ Many wild animals are endangered because people cut down too many trees.

When the weather turns terrible, we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food, but wild animals may not have this fun. So how do animals spend the long cold winter months? Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribou have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height. If winter makes you want to sleep, you're not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy. Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding. 66. What is the name of the journey that animals make to warmer places in winter? _________________________________________________________________________________ 67. How far do caribou travel for winter? _________________________________________________________________________________ 68. What do bears do before hibernation? _________________________________________________________________________________ 69. Why do snowshoe rabbits change their fur colour in winter? _________________________________________________________________________________ 70.

At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa. But today, there are only 450,000 left. This is mainly because of people's hunting for ivory. With need for ivory in markets growing, people keep killing elephants. Now at least 20,000 African elephants die each year. People call ivory "white gold". Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery and works of art. And the ivory material itself is so strong that people can store it for long. That's why many people are willing to pay high prices for things made of ivory. However, no matter how expensive the ivory is, it's wrong of humans to kill elephants. So some scientists are working hard on making the same beauty of ivory with no killing. Thaddaa Rath, from a college of Austria has created the man-made ivory called "Digory" with her team. The chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, but it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye. Another scientist, Fritz Vollrath from the UK, who is also working to protect elephants, felt excited that Digory could save many elephants from danger. He said, "We still need to do more work to improve Digory so that people around the world will accept Digory and like to buy and use it. And I believe that technology like this will help protect more wildlife." 26. How does the writer tell us elephants are in danger in Paragraph 1? A. By showing us numbers. B. By introducing Africa. C. By telling us a story. D. By giving an example. 27. Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree? A. Digory will save all the elephants from danger. B. It's impossible for the world to accept man-made ivory. C. Technology will help support the protection of wildlife. D. Scientists have already found ways to make better Digory. 28. Which is the right structure of the article? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤ 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了非洲象因象牙贸易而濒临灭绝的现状，以及科学家研发人造象牙来保护大象的尝试，体现了科技对野生动物保护的助力作用。 26. 句意：作者在第一段是如何告诉我们大象处于危险之中的？ By showing us numbers. 通过展示数字；By introducing Africa. 通过介绍非洲；By telling us a story. 通过讲故事；By giving an example. 通过举例子。根据第一段中“over 1.3 million elephants”“only 450,000 left”“at least 20,000 African elephants die each year”等数据可知，作者通过列数字的方式说明大象的濒危处境，故选 A。 27. 句意：Fritz Vollrath同意以下哪一项？ Digory will save all the elephants from danger.

In recent years, China has made great progress in protecting and restoring the giant panda population. Let's take a look. Wild panda population growth The number of wild pandas has increased from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900, based on the results of the fourth national panda survey. Habitat growth Since the 1960s, China has created 67 nature parks mainly to protect giant pandas and their homes. The area for pandas has grown from 1.39 million hectares to 2.58 million hectares. Returning pandas to the wild China started a study to release giant pandas back into the wild in 2003 and has set free 12 pandas after special training. Now, 10 of them are still living in the wild. International panda protection China has done joint research on protecting giant pandas with 26 organizations in 20 countries and has successfully raised 41 groups of pandas and 68 baby pandas during this time. The number of pandas living in zoos around the world has reached 728. These achievements are not only a victory for giant pandas but also an important step forward in global environmental protection. Through the combined efforts of China and the international community, the future of giant pandas looks brighter. 29. How many wild pandas are there in China now? A. About 1,100. B. About 1,900. C.

This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals cannot make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters. A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras. Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy. A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals. Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ring-tailed cats also come out only at night. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ring-tailed cats. Nothing is wasted in a food web. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ring-tailed cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean. 33. Where do all living things get energy first from? A. The sun. B. Plants. C. Animals. D. Food. 34. Why don't kangaroo rats need to drink water? A. Because they don't feel thirsty. B. Because they get water from plants. C. Because they eat much food. D. Because they store water in their bodies. 35. What does the underlined word "scavengers" mean in Chinese? A. 食肉动物 B. 食草动物 C. 食腐动物 D. 杂食动物 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. All animals eat plants for food. B. A food web shows how food chains work together. C. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat coyotes in the desert. D. Scavengers do an important job in keeping animals safe. 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了食物链、食物网的概念，并以沙漠生态系统为例，说明了能量流动规律和食腐动物的生态作用，展现了自然界的平衡法则。 33. 句意：所有生物最初的能量来自哪里？ The sun. 太阳；Plants. 植物；Animals. 动物；Food. 食物。根据第一段“This energy comes first from the sun.”可知，能量最初来自太阳，故选 A。 34. 句意：为什么更格卢鼠不需要喝水？ Because they don't feel thirsty. 因为它们不渴；Because they get water from plants. 因为它们从植物中获取水分；Because they eat much food. 因为它们吃很多食物；Because they store water in their bodies. 因为它们体内储存水。根据“Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat.”可知，它们从所吃的植物中获取所需的全部水分，故选 B。 35. 句意：划线单词“scavengers”的中文意思是什么？ A. 食肉动物 B. 食草动物 C. 食腐动物 D. 杂食动物 根据后文“Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead.”可知，这类动物不捕猎，只吃已经死亡的动物，即食腐动物，故选 C。 36. 句意：从文章中我们可以了解到什么？ All animals eat plants for food. 所有动物都吃植物；A food web shows how food chains work together. 食物网展示了食物链如何共同运作；Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat coyotes in the desert. 沙漠里的环尾猫捕食郊狼；Scavengers do an important job in keeping animals safe. 食腐动物在保障动物安全方面作用重大。根据“A food web shows how food chains work together.”可知B选项表述正确，故选 B。 D Recently, many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots in the movie Ne Zha 2. As a result, people start to buy real marmots online as pets. However, many organizations have quickly warned the public that these wild animals are actually high-risk carriers of the plague. Marmots are common rodents in North-west China. Listed as a second-class protected animal in China, they always choose cool mountain grasslands, open deserts, and rocky hills as their homes. They are good at digging holes and each hole has a different purpose. They mainly live on fresh grass and juicy plants like apples or lettuce. Living in family groups, these social creatures work together and communicate often to survive in the tough environment. Even if marmots may look harmless, these furry animals carry plague bacteria, which cause a serious disease that killed over 100 million people in historic outbreaks like the Black Death. This infection can spread through minor cuts or even breath droplets, causing high fever, painful lumps under the skin, and bleeding. Without treatment, it remains highly dangerous with survival chances as low as zero. The National Health Commission advises to: · Keep safe distance when meeting wild marmots · Never keep them as pets, touch, or feed them · Report injured animals to forestry workers instead of helping directly · Seek medical care in time if you develop fever or lumps after contact The recent online sales of marmots have raised alarms. While their round faces might make us want to get close, health organizations remind everyone that cuteness isn't worth risking lives. Protecting both wildlife and public health means watching animals safely from a distance. 37. Why do people start to buy real marmots online as pets? A. Because they are cheap and easy to keep. B. Because they fell in love with cute marmots in the movie. C. Because they want to protect marmots. D. Because marmots are good at digging holes. 38. Where do marmots usually live? A. In warm cities. B. In cool mountain grasslands. C. In wet forests. D. In deep rivers. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Marmots are first-class protected animals in China. B. Marmots only eat fresh grass and apples. C. The plague can spread through breath droplets. D. We can touch injured marmots to help them. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Marmots are cute animals in the movie. B. How to keep marmots as pets safely. C. Why marmots carry plague bacteria. D. Keep away from wild marmots for health safety. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了土拨鼠因电影走红后被当作宠物饲养的现象，警示公众野生土拨鼠是鼠疫高风险携带者，应保持安全距离，兼顾野生动物保护与公共健康。 37. 句意：为什么人们开始在网上购买野生土拨鼠当宠物？ Because they are cheap and easy to keep. 因为它们便宜好养；Because they fell in love with cute marmots in the movie. 因为他们爱上了电影里可爱的土拨鼠；Because they want to protect marmots. 因为他们想保护土拨鼠；Because marmots are good at digging holes. 因为土拨鼠擅长挖洞。根据第一段“many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots in the movie Ne Zha 2.

Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribou have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height. If winter makes you want to sleep, you're not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy. Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding. 66.

But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels __11__ now. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people __12__ them. They can hunt and kill them legally. The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long __13__, which helps them jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. __14__, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20cm. But the grey squirrel is a __15__ animal. The head-and-body length is between 23 and 30 cm. This size may let them store more fat and __16__ them to live through a hard winter. So __17__ is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason. Red squirrels live high up in __18__, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means the loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel's population. Another reason is the grey squirrel's __19__ to get food easily from people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel __20__ live in towns and cities. Another problem for red squirrels is illness, which is fatal to them. __21__, the number of red squirrels is dropping year by year.

At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa. But today, there are only 450,000 left. This is mainly because of people's hunting for ivory. With need for ivory in markets growing, people keep killing elephants. Now at least 20,000 African elephants die each year. People call ivory "white gold". Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery and works of art. And the ivory material itself is so strong that people can store it for long. That's why many people are willing to pay high prices for things made of ivory. However, no matter how expensive the ivory is, it's wrong of humans to kill elephants. So some scientists are working hard on making the same beauty of ivory with no killing. Thaddaa Rath, from a college of Austria has created the man-made ivory called "Digory" with her team. The chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, but it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye. Another scientist, Fritz Vollrath from the UK, who is also working to protect elephants, felt excited that Digory could save many elephants from danger. He said, "We still need to do more work to improve Digory so that people around the world will accept Digory and like to buy and use it. And I believe that technology like this will help protect more wildlife." 26. How does the writer tell us elephants are in danger in Paragraph 1? A. By showing us numbers. B. By introducing Africa. C. By telling us a story. D. By giving an example. 27. Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree? A. Digory will save all the elephants from danger. B. It's impossible for the world to accept man-made ivory. C. Technology will help support the protection of wildlife. D. Scientists have already found ways to make better Digory. 28. Which is the right structure of the article? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤ B The giant panda, the national treasure of China, is not only a rare species but also a symbol of ecological conservation. In recent years, China has made great progress in protecting and restoring the giant panda population. Let's take a look. Wild panda population growth The number of wild pandas has increased from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900, based on the results of the fourth national panda survey. Habitat growth Since the 1960s, China has created 67 nature parks mainly to protect giant pandas and their homes. The area for pandas has grown from 1.39 million hectares to 2.58 million hectares. Returning pandas to the wild China started a study to release giant pandas back into the wild in 2003 and has set free 12 pandas after special training. Now, 10 of them are still living in the wild. International panda protection China has done joint research on protecting giant pandas with 26 organizations in 20 countries and has successfully raised 41 groups of pandas and 68 baby pandas during this time. The number of pandas living in zoos around the world has reached 728. These achievements are not only a victory for giant pandas but also an important step forward in global environmental protection. Through the combined efforts of China and the international community, the future of giant pandas looks brighter. 29. How many wild pandas are there in China now? A. About 1,100. B. About 1,900. C. About 67. D. About 728. 30. What does the underlined word "joint" mean? A. 共同的 B. 关节 C. 连带的 D. 结合处 31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Wild panda population growth. B. Habitat growth for pandas. C. Returning pandas to the wild. D. Feeding pandas in the zoo. 32. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. China has set an example for the global wildlife protection. B. Pandas can now get used to the wild completely. C. More and more pandas will be sent to foreign countries. D. There will be no dangers for pandas in the future. C All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals cannot make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters. A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras. Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy. A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals. Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ring-tailed cats also come out only at night. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ring-tailed cats. Nothing is wasted in a food web. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ring-tailed cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean. 33. Where do all living things get energy first from? A. The sun. B. Plants. C. Animals. D. Food. 34. Why don't kangaroo rats need to drink water? A. Because they don't feel thirsty. B. Because they get water from plants. C. Because they eat much food. D. Because they store water in their bodies. 35. What does the underlined word "scavengers" mean in Chinese? A. 食肉动物 B. 食草动物 C. 食腐动物 D. 杂食动物 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. All animals eat plants for food. B. A food web shows how food chains work together. C. Ring-tailed cats hunt and eat coyotes in the desert. D. Scavengers do an important job in keeping animals safe. D Recently, many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots in the movie Ne Zha 2. As a result, people start to buy real marmots online as pets. However, many organizations have quickly warned the public that these wild animals are actually high-risk carriers of the plague. Marmots are common rodents in North-west China. Listed as a second-class protected animal in China, they always choose cool mountain grasslands, open deserts, and rocky hills as their homes. They are good at digging holes and each hole has a different purpose. They mainly live on fresh grass and juicy plants like apples or lettuce. Living in family groups, these social creatures work together and communicate often to survive in the tough environment. Even if marmots may look harmless, these furry animals carry plague bacteria, which cause a serious disease that killed over 100 million people in historic outbreaks like the Black Death. This infection can spread through minor cuts or even breath droplets, causing high fever, painful lumps under the skin, and bleeding. Without treatment, it remains highly dangerous with survival chances as low as zero. The National Health Commission advises to: · Keep safe distance when meeting wild marmots · Never keep them as pets, touch, or feed them · Report injured animals to forestry workers instead of helping directly · Seek medical care in time if you develop fever or lumps after contact The recent online sales of marmots have raised alarms. While their round faces might make us want to get close, health organizations remind everyone that cuteness isn't worth risking lives. Protecting both wildlife and public health means watching animals safely from a distance. 37. Why do people start to buy real marmots online as pets? A. Because they are cheap and easy to keep. B. Because they fell in love with cute marmots in the movie. C. Because they want to protect marmots. D. Because marmots are good at digging holes. 38. Where do marmots usually live? A. In warm cities. B. In cool mountain grasslands. C. In wet forests. D. In deep rivers. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Marmots are first-class protected animals in China. B. Marmots only eat fresh grass and apples. C. The plague can spread through breath droplets. D. We can touch injured marmots to help them. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Marmots are cute animals in the movie. B. How to keep marmots as pets safely. C. Why marmots carry plague bacteria. D. Keep away from wild marmots for health safety. 第二节 请认真阅读下面的短文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Wild animals are our friends and they play an important role in nature. ____41____ Here are some things we can do to protect wild animals. ____42____ Many wild animals are endangered because people cut down too many trees.

When the weather turns terrible, we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food, but wild animals may not have this fun. So how do animals spend the long cold winter months? Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribou have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height. If winter makes you want to sleep, you're not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy. Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding. 66.
