But conservation (保护) of the African elephant still faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.‎ Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.‎ The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation—land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.‎ Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.‎ AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.‎ The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.‎ ‎8．The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _____.‎ A．African elephants are endangered now B．there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants C．African elephants are popular animals D．the number of African elephants has increased over the years ‎9．What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?‎ A．They are still being killed.

D．They can’t live in peace with farmers.‎ ‎10．To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT _____.‎ A．keeping elephants B．protecting elephants’ habitats C．doing research on elephants D．helping farmers improve their life ‎11．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．African elephants conservation B．Living with African elephants C．African elephants’ situation D．African elephants being endangered D Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.‎ Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. She said, “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.‎ In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.‎ Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the man. Chris describes travelling alone will make you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”‎ As the saying goes, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”‎ ‎12．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?‎ A．Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.‎ B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.‎ C．It is comfortable to travel around alone.‎ D．Travelling alone is necessary for everyone.‎ ‎13．Travelling alone is challenging because ________.‎ A．you have to choose things on your own B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others C．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens D．it pushes you into the comfort zone ‎14．What can we know about Chris?‎ A．He started travelling alone at an early age. B．He once was afraid of travelling.‎ C．He used to work as a salesman. D．His website inspires others a lot.‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Travel Abroad B．Travel Alone C．Travel Light D．Travel Far 第二节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.‎ 根据内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。‎ More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice.
