We human beings haven’t been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why?  Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
【小題1】The text calls on us to__________.

A.keep animals at homeB.protect the environment
C.protect the endangered animalsD.know more about the balance of nature.
【小題2】Why do people kill animals?
A.Animals cause many serious problems.
B.They kill animals for something they need.
C.Animals destroy their natural resources.
D.They kill animals to protect the environment

A.there were too many rats and mice
B.hawks are the most important in the nature
C.a(chǎn)nimals are good food resources
D.every kind of animal is important in nature

       Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇跡) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
【小題1】According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is          .

A.our ability to use languageB.the miracle of technology
C.our ability to make noises with mouth D.the amazing power of nature
【小題2】What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?
A.Lifting heads when sad.B.Keeping long faces when angry.
C.Bowing heads when willing to obey.D.Bristling hair when ready to attack.
【小題3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Body language is unique to humans.
B.Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C.Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
D.Humans have other powers of communication.
【小題4】This passage is mainly about          .
A.the development of body language
B.the special role humans play in nature
C.the difference between humans and animals in language use
D.the power to convey information to others

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (啟發(fā)) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龜), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群島). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
【小題1】What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands?

A.He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands.
B.He completed his famous book on the islands.
C.He was touched by the geography of the islands.
D.He studied different creatures on the islands.
【小題2】Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”?
A.People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
B.Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C.Animals on the islands feed on grass.
D.Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
【小題3】Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of        .
A.a(chǎn) closer view of animalsB.Darwin’s inspiring trip
C.The beautiful sea viewsD.various daring activities
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
B.A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers
C.Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos
D.A successful Example of wildlife protection

The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shooting to protect those animals which still survive.

Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.

I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.

The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote:

“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing—not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”

I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.

1. There is no more hunting in India now partly because ______.

A. it is dangerous to hunt there                         B. hunting is already out of date

C. hunters want to protect animals                 D. there are few animals left to hunt

2. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ______.

A. to make the countryside safe                    B. to earn people’ s admiration

C. to gain power and influence                  D. to improve their health

3. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?

A. They hunt old animals.                  B. They mistreat animals.

C. They hunt for food.                       D. They hunt for money.

4. What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?

A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.

B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.

C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.

D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.
