They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.‎ Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot of a microblog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.‎ Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016,‎ 18‎ ‎ the IUCN added the pangolin to the world’s “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas.‎ A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in number. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin(角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.‎ Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. It’s a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime, and the trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了穿山甲濒临灭绝的现状，以及为保护穿山甲而采取的举措。‎ ‎1．Pangolins have caught people’s attention these years because ________．‎ A．they look strange B．they appear in some movies C．they are killed and eaten by people D．they have something to do with pandas C　解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“attention”和“these years”，我们把答案定位在第二段。该段开头说，穿山甲近来成为中国人关注的焦点，然后提到一张屏幕截图和一些图片里，穿山甲成为人们的盘中珍馐，这与C项的描述是一致的。‎ ‎2．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．Pangolins can roll up into a ball to attack enemies.‎ B．More than 1 million pangolins were killed or sold last year.‎ C．Pangolins were named the most endangered animal in 2016.‎ D．The pangolin is a kind of mammals.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world”可知，穿山甲是一种哺乳动物，故选D。‎ ‎3．The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to ________．‎ A．attract people to the zoo to watch pangolins B．lift people’s awareness of protecting pangolins C．remind people of pangolins’ medical value D．explain the law to people 18‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的“World Pangolin Day”，我们把答案定位在最后一段。该段主要陈述了为保护穿山甲而采取的举措，而这个节日能让人们更多地了解穿山甲，从而提高人们保护穿山甲的意识，故选B。‎ ‎4．What might be the author’s attitude towards the measures taken to protect pangolins?‎ A．Positive. B．Negative.‎ C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned.‎ A　解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，中国政府禁止任何人购买和食用穿山甲，世界各地也禁止买卖穿山甲，局面正在好转，由此可推知作者觉得这些措施是有效的，故选A。‎ B ‎(2020·陕西部分学校摸底)A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.‎ Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize—the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation—for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel(红隼) from becoming the next Great Auk.‎ When the 65yearold first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding(人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds’ nests and hatching them under incubators(孵化器), prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.‎ A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also made an effort to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.‎ Prof. Jones was awarded the $250，000 prize at a ceremony in London.‎ ‎“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn’t enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received.” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.‎ Prof. Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for 18‎ ‎ the first time at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.‎ ‎【解题导语】　卡尔·琼斯教授因偷稀缺鸟类的蛋而被指责，后来在动物保护领域被授予诺贝尔奖，他用自己的方法挽救了九种濒危物种。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph 2?‎ A．Return. B．Level.‎ C．Honor. D．Research.‎ C　解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”并结合语境可推知，画线词意为“荣誉”。故选C项。‎ ‎6．According to the passage, Great Auk is ________．‎ A．an endangered bird B．an extinct bird C．a popular bird D．a fierce bird B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“he saved an endangered kestrel(红隼) from becoming the next Great Auk”可推知，Great Auk是一种已灭绝的鸟。故选B项。‎ ‎7．What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Taking eggs from the nests has worked well.‎ B．The wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.‎ C．Kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.‎ D．It’s difficult to protect kestrel.‎ A　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句以及第四段第一句“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild.”可知，当时野生毛里求斯红隼只剩4只，琼斯教授采用人工繁殖的方法来救助毛里求斯红隼，10年后，毛里求斯红隼的数量飙升到300多只，如今野生红隼约有400只。由此可推知，从鸟巢中拿出鸟蛋的方法效果很好。故选A项。‎ ‎8．Prof. Jones’ idea of taking eggs from the birds’ nests________.‎ A．was proved of no use B．was widely accepted C．was promoted officially D．was criticized by some people D　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“dead loss” “In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques...in the wild.”可知，琼斯教授从鸟巢中拿出鸟蛋来进行人工繁殖的方法受到了一些人的批评。故选D项。‎ Ⅱ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，‎ 18‎ 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。‎ A tornado(龙卷风) hit a small town nearby, leaving many families completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the most difficult period to appeal to people’s attention and assistance.‎ One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a simple mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing size of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that sizes of the family closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my sevenyearold twins, Brad and Brett, and threeyearold Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.‎ ‎“We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing，” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.” I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Brad rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.‎ The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, bestloved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. “I’ll help you find something for the little girl, too，” I said to the little Meghan.‎ Paragraph 1：‎ ‎“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，” Meghan turned to me.________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 18‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Recognizing what little Meghan’s gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Paragraph 1：‎ ‎“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，” Meghan turned to me. “Oh, honey，” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too.” She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy’s flat face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. The boys watched, openmouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Recognizing what little Meghan’s gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had bought on sale last week. I believed the young woman in the picture would like it and fit it as much as I did. The boys had also been inspired by our behavior and carried their beloved things. We all wished the family could pass the difficult period as soon as possible and that they would love the things we gave them with all our heart.‎ 18‎
