For decades, China has been making great efforts to protect this national treasure. In the 1980s, the wild giant panda population dropped to around 1,100 due to habitat loss and low birth rates. To save them, the Chinese government set up more than 60 nature reserves. Scientists also carried out breeding (繁殖) programs to increase the population. The efforts have paid off. By 2021, the number of wild giant pandas had increased to 1,864, and their protection status was downgraded from "endangered" to "vulnerable（易危的）". This success shows that with proper protection, even the most endangered species can recover. However, challenges remain. Climate change and human activities continue to threaten panda habitats. The future of pandas depends on our continued attention and efforts. 1．What was the main reason for the decline of the giant panda population in the 1980s? A．Illegal hunting. B．Habitat loss and low birth rates. C．Climate change. D．Lack of food. 2．How many nature reserves did the Chinese government set up to protect giant pandas? A．About 50. B．About 60. C．More than 60. D．More than 70. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pandas are no longer endangered now. B．Protecting pandas is easier than protecting other animals. C．Continued efforts are still needed to protect pandas. D．Climate change has no effect on pandas. 4．What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．安全的 B．易危的 C．灭绝的 D．普遍的 六、七选五（2025·湖南长沙·高一模拟） Wildlife protection is a topic that has drawn more and more attention in recent years.  1  Here are some important reasons why we should protect wild animals. Firstly, all species play a role in the ecosystem.  2  If one species disappears, it may cause problems for other species and even the whole ecosystem. Secondly, many wild animals are a source of important scientific discoveries.  3  For example, studying how animals survive in extreme conditions can help us develop new technologies. Thirdly, wild animals have cultural and aesthetic（美学的）value.  4  They also inspire art, literature and tourism. 5  We should take action to protect them and their habitats. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife. A．Protecting wildlife is not just for animals—it's for ourselves too. B．They are often seen as symbols of beauty and strength in many cultures. C．By studying them, scientists can learn more about life and medicine. D．Each species is important to the balance of nature. E．Wild animals face many threats, including habitat loss and illegal hunting. F．Some animals are dangerous to humans and should be kept away. G．We should do more to protect wildlife. （2024·新高考全国I卷·D篇改编） In recent years, the conservation efforts for the Tibetan antelope have drawn global attention. The species, known for its fine wool, was once hunted illegally at an alarming rate. In the 1980s and 1990s, the population dropped sharply due to poaching（偷猎）and habitat loss. However, the situation began to change when the Chinese government stepped in. The Tibetan antelope was placed under national protection. Nature reserves were established, and volunteers worked tirelessly to watch over the animals. In addition, infrastructure（基础设施）projects, such as railways and roads, were carefully designed to minimize their impact on the animals' migration routes. As a result, the antelope population has recovered significantly. In 2021, the species was officially removed from the endangered species list. This achievement is a powerful example of how effective conservation can be when governments, communities and individuals work together. Yet, conservationists warn that the battle is far from over. Climate change and increasing human activities in the region continue to pose new challenges. The story of the Tibetan antelope serves as both a success story and a reminder that vigilance（警惕）and continuous effort are essential to protect our planet's biodiversity（生物多样性）. 1．What caused the decline of the Tibetan antelope population in the 1980s and 1990s? A．Climate change. B．Poaching and habitat loss. C．Natural disasters. D．Lack of food and water. 2．What measures were taken to protect the Tibetan antelope? ① Illegal hunters were severely punished. ② The species was placed under national protection. ③ Nature reserves were established. ④ Volunteers watched over the animals. ⑤ Infrastructure projects were redesigned to protect migration routes. A．①②③④ B．①②④⑤ C．②③④⑤ D．①③④⑤ 3．What is the author's attitude towards the future of the Tibetan antelope? A．Optimistic and carefree. B．Pessimistic and doubtful. C．Cautious and concerned. D．Indifferent and uninterested. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To entertain readers with a story about animals. B．To inform readers about the protection of the Tibetan antelope. C．To persuade readers to stop buying animal products. D．To criticize those who hunt animals illegally. 3 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 分层作业 Unit 2 Period 2 Reading and Thinking 一、根据语境及所给提示写出正确的单词。 1．reserves 2．habitats 3．illegal 4．increased 5．exist 6．watch 7．scenery 8．sacred 二、用所给词的适当形式填空。 1．endangered 2．legally 3．graceful 4．protection 5．impressed 6．transportation 7．harmony 8．steadily 三、根据汉语意思完成句子 1．dropped by more than 2．placed; under national protection 3．watched over 4．were added 5．exist in harmony with 6．was removed from the endangered species list 四、语法填空 1．recommended 2．graceful 3．dying 4．dropped 5．illegally 6．their 7．under 8．Bridges 9．safely 10．Thankfully 5、 阅读理解 1．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句"In the 1980s, the wild giant panda population dropped to around 1,100 due to habitat loss and low birth rates."可知，大熊猫数量下降的主要原因是栖息地丧失和低出生率。故选B。 2．C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句"the Chinese government set up more than 60 nature reserves"可知，中国政府设立了60多个自然保护区。故选C。 3．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段"The future of pandas depends on our continued attention and efforts."可知，大熊猫的未来仍然需要我们持续的关注和努力，说明保护工作仍需继续。故选C。 4．B 词义猜测题。根据第三段"their protection status was downgraded from 'endangered' to 'vulnerable'"可知，保护级别从"濒危"降级，说明情况有所好转但仍需关注，因此"vulnerable"意为"易危的"。故选B。 六、七选五 1．E 前句提到野生动物保护引起越来越多关注，后句提到保护野生动物的重要原因，E项提到野生动物面临很多威胁（栖息地丧失和非法捕猎），承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 2．D 前句提到所有物种在生态系统中都发挥作用，后句提到如果一个物种消失会引起问题，D项"每个物种对自然平衡都很重要"是中间环节，语义连贯。故选D。 3．C 前句提到野生动物是科学发现的重要来源，后句举例说明研究动物可以帮助开发新技术，C项"通过研究它们，科学家可以了解更多关于生命和医学的知识"符合语境。故选C。 4．B 前句提到野生动物具有文化和美学价值，后句提到它们还启发艺术、文学和旅游，B项"它们在许多文化中常被视为美丽和力量的象征"具体说明文化价值，语义衔接。故选B。 5．A 最后一段总结呼吁保护野生动物，后句提到"我们应当采取行动"，A项"保护野生动物不仅仅是为了动物——也是为了我们自己"点明保护的意义，引出后文行动号召，适合作为段落首句。故选A。 1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句"In the 1980s and 1990s, the population dropped sharply due to poaching and habitat loss."可知，藏羚羊数量下降的主要原因是偷猎和栖息地丧失。故选B。 2．C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，政府将藏羚羊置于国家保护之下、建立了自然保护区、志愿者守护动物，并且基础设施项目被重新设计以减少对动物迁徙路线的影响。①"偷猎者受到严惩"文中未提及，排除含①的选项。故选C。 3．C 观点态度题。根据最后一段"conservationists warn that the battle is far from over...continue to pose new challenges"以及"vigilance and continuous effort are essential"可知，作者对藏羚羊的未来持谨慎和关切的态度。故选C。 4．B 写作目的题。文章主要讲述了藏羚羊的保护历程和现状，旨在告知读者关于藏羚羊保护的相关信息。故选B。 2 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 分层作业 Unit 2 Period 2 Reading and Thinking 目 录 A组 巩固过关 B组 能力进阶 C组 思维拔高 拓展 链接高考 一、根据语境及所给提示写出正确的单词。 1．The government has set up several nature r______ (保护区) to protect these endangered animals. 2．Many species will die out if we don't take action to protect their h______ (栖息地). 3．It is i______ (违法地) to hunt Tibetan antelopes for their wool. 4．The population of the giant panda has i______ (增加) in recent years thanks to conservation efforts. 5．We should learn to e______ (存在；生存) in harmony with nature. 6．Volunteers are needed to w______ over (照看) the baby elephants in the reserve. 7．The beautiful ______ (景色) of the snow-covered mountains attracted many tourists. 8．The local people consider the animals s______ (神圣的) and protect them with great care. 【答案】1．reserves 2．habitats 3．illegal 4．increased 5．exist 6．watch 7．scenery 8．sacred 二、用所给词的适当形式填空。 1．The Tibetan antelope is an ______ (endanger) species that needs our protection. 2．All the animals in the reserve are ______ (legal) protected by law. 3．The boy felt ______ (grace) when he saw the antelopes running freely on the plain. 4．The ______ (protect) of wildlife is important for the balance of nature. 5．We were deeply ______ (impress) by the guide's story about saving the antelopes. 6．The ______ (transport) system in the area has been improved to help animals move safely. 7．Our goal is to achieve ______ (harmonious) between humans and nature. 8．The number of wild pandas has grown ______ (steady) over the past few decades. 【答案】 1．endangered 2．legally 3．graceful 4．protection 5．impressed 6．transportation 7．harmony 8．steadily 三、根据汉语意思完成句子 根据汉语意思完成句子（每空一词）。 1．The population of the Tibetan antelope __________ __________ __________ __________ (下降了超过) 50 percent in the 1980s and 1990s. 2．The Chinese government __________ the species __________ __________ __________ (将……置于国家保护之下) . 3．Volunteers __________ __________ (守护) the antelopes day and night to keep them safe. 4．Bridges and gates __________ __________ (被增加) to let antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. 5．Only when we learn to __________ __________ __________ __________ (与……和谐共处) nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife. 6．The antelope population has recovered and the species __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ (被从濒危物种名单中移除) . 【答案】 1．dropped by more than 2．placed; under national protection 3．watched over 4．were added 5．exist in harmony with 6．was removed from the endangered species list 四、语法填空 （2024·山东青岛·高一期末）On my first day of the wildlife protection camp in Xizang, I showed great interest in the work of the reserve.
