Unit 4 Wildlife protection Period 2 Reading課后閱讀訓練. 閱讀理解A Can we give a hand to those endangered animals?Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot. 1. Protect wildlife habitatPerhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction. 2. Reduce the threat of invasive(入侵的)speciesThe spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources(資源)and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction. 3. Place decals(貼花紙)on windowsIt is reported that as many as one million birds in the United States die each year because of collisions(碰撞)with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office. 4. Slow down when drivingMany native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles(障礙)to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you drive out, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife. 【語篇概述】我們能為瀕危動物做點什么?本文給出了很好的建議, 我們每個人都可以為此伸出援手, 盡自己的微薄之力。1. What would be the best title for this passage?A. How Animals Go to ExtinctionB. The Importance of Protecting WildlifeC. What to Do to Help Save WildlifeD. How to Protect Wildlife Habitat【解析】選C。主旨大意題。本文主要列舉了人們怎樣伸出援手去救助瀕危動物, 故C項最能概括文章的大意, 為最佳標題。2. People are advised to put decals on windows to_. A. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentB. protect the windows from birds-hittingC. attract more birds to make homes nearbyD. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake【解析】選D。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三種措施的描述可知, 在窗戶上貼花紙是為了避免飛鳥因誤撞而喪命, 故選D。3. The underlined phrase“prey on”in the passage means“_”. A. drive awayB. live withC. kill for foodD. fight with【解析】選C。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文的意思:入侵物種與當?shù)氐奈锓N爭奪資源和棲息地。再結合該句的意思“它們甚至直接prey on當?shù)氐奈锓N, 這樣迫使當?shù)氐奈锓N滅絕”可推知, 該短語的意思為“獵食, 捕食”, 故選C。4. We can learn from the passage that_. A. the habitats of many species have been destroyedB. about one million birds are attacked by invasive species each yearC. perhaps the biggest threat to many species is that they easily bumped by carsD. invasive species only compete for food with native species【解析】選A。細節(jié)理解題。大概有一百萬只鳥是死于誤撞窗戶, 而不是外來物種的襲擊, 故B項錯誤; 很多物種的最大威脅是棲息地被破壞, 故C項不對; 入侵物種和本地物種競爭的不僅僅是食物, 還有棲息地和資源, 故D項錯誤, A項指出許多物種的棲息地被破壞了, 符合文章大意。故選A。BBy May, after three months, I had lost 22 pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say“Alice, you look great!”or“How did you lose so much weight?”Those compliments made me feel good and confident. Soon I dropped to 110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body. By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what?To make those who love me worried?Is it worthwhile to be thin?Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the“perfect body”is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are. 【語篇概述】本文作者通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴讀者為了“完美身材”而冒著生命危險節(jié)食是不值得的。5. The authors mother went to her room to_.
