D.Trackeddown.解析:词义揣测题。依据其次段内容可知,在黄石国家公园,灰狼曾经随处可见,但是到了20世纪20年头,由于人类活动频繁导致灰狼基本消逝,由此可以推想,灰狼因为人类的发展而被迫离开。forceout意为“赶出去”,与displace意思相近。故选C。答案:C6.Whatdidthedisappearanceofgraywolvesbringabout?A.Damagetolocalecology.B.Adeclineinthepark’sincome.C.Preservationofvegetation.D.Anincreaseinthevarietyofanimals.解析:细微环节理解题。依据第三段内容可知,灰狼的削减造成了鹿群的增多,从而导致植被遭到了破坏,而且红狐和海狸也不断削减,由此推断,灰狼的消逝对当地生态系统造成了破坏。故选A。答案:A7.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowardstheYellowstonewolfproject?A.Doubtful. B.Positive.C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.解析:观点看法题。依据文章末段末句可知,作者认为引进灰狼的项目是很有价值的试验,是很值得推广的。故选B。答案:BCThesixthmassextinctionoflifeontheearthisunfoldingmorequicklythanexpected,scientistshavewarned.Morethan30percentofanimalswithabackbonearedeclininginbothrangeandpopulation,accordingtothefirstcomprehensiveanalysisofthesetrends.Aroundadecadeago,expertsfearedthatanewrangewipeoutofspecieswasappearing.Today,mostagreethatitisunderway,butthenewstudysuggeststhatthedie-outisalreadygrowingfast.Thelossofbiodiversityhasrecentlyaccelerated.Severalspeciesofmammalsthatwererelativelysafeoneortwodecadesagoarenowendangered,includingcheetahs,lionsandgiraffes,thestudyshowed.Thereisnomysteryastowhy:ourownever-expandingspecies—whichhasmorethandoubledinnumbersince1960to7.4billion—iseating,crowdingandpollutingitsplanetarycohabitantsoutofexistence.Bycomparison,thereareasfewas20,000lionsleftinthewild,lessthan7,000cheetahs,500to1,000giantpandas.Themaindriversofwildlifedeclinearehabitatloss,over-consumption,pollution,otherspecies,disease,aswellashuntinginthecaseoftigers,elephants,rhinosandotherlargeanimalsprizedfortheirbodyparts.Climatechangeisthoughttobecomeamajorthreatinthecomingdecades,withsomeanimals—mostfamouslypolarbears—alreadyindeclineduetorisingtemperaturesandchangingweatherpatterns.8.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“accelerated”inparagraph3mean?A.Madeup. B.Putup.C.Spedup. D.Usedup.解析:词义揣测题。依据画线词下文“Severalspeciesofmammalsthatwererelativelysafeoneortwodecadesagoarenowendangered,includingcheetahs,lionsandgiraffes,thestudyshowed.”可知,探讨显示,包括猎豹、狮子以及长颈鹿在内的数种哺乳动物在一二十年前还相对平安,然而现在处于濒危状态。因此推断,画线词所在句句意为:生物多样性的削减最近也加速了。故画线词与C项“加速”词义相近。故选C。答案:C9.Whyhasthelossofbiodiversityspedup?A.Themankind’spopulationisgrowingfast.B.Theairpollutionistoosevere.C.Therearefewerspeciesinlargerareas.D.Mancauseswiderwaterpollution.解析:细微环节理解题。依据第四段第一句“Thereisnomysteryastowhy:ourownever-expandingspecies—whichhasmorethandoubledinnumbersince1960to7.4billion—iseating,crowdingandpollutingitsplanetarycohabitantsoutofexistence.”可知,引发生物大灭亡的缘由自不待言:人类不断繁衍壮大,人口达到74亿,相比1960年不止翻了一番。人们以动物为食,同时还污染环境,让其他动物们无法生存。由此可知,人口的快速增长是生物多样性削减的缘由。故选A。答案:A10.Howisthefutureofpolarbears?A.Uncertain. B.Hopeful.C.Doubtful. D.Unsatisfying.解析:推理推断题。依据最终一段中的“withsomeanimals—mostfamouslypolarbears—alreadyindeclineduetorisingtemperaturesandchangingweatherpatterns”可知,气候改变在将来的几十年将成为生物灭亡的主要因素。由于气温上升,气候改变,一些动物,比如最闻名的北极熊,已经在削减。因此推断,北极熊的将来是令人不满足的。故选D。答案:D11.Whatisthemainideaofthetext?A.Allanimalsarenowendangered.B.Wildlifehabitatlossistooserious.C.Thewildlifeextinctionisspeedingup.D.Backboneanimalsaredecreasingslowly.解析:主旨大意题。结合文章首段中出现的词“extinction”以及全文内容可知,本文主要讲解并描述了野生动物面临灭亡的缘由。故选C。答案:CD12.Itisalso,perhaps,thegentlest(最和顺的),butnotalways!Elephantsarelikehumansinsomeways.Theycanliveforalongtime—fiftyorsixtyyears.Theycanrememberthingsverywell.13.____Ifafemale(雌性的)elephantdies,herdaughtersandhergranddaughterswillbesadformanymonths.Theywouldstaywiththedeadbodyforalongtime.Andtheyneverforgetadeadfriend.Elephantsarelikeus,buttheyarealsodifferentfromus.Theyliveinthefamiliesoffemaleswherethefemalesarethekings.14.______Butthefemaleswillsoonsendthemaway.Anelephantfamilykeepsonlydaughters,mothersandgrandmothers.Thefemaleswouldstaytogetherforfifty,sixtyorahundredyears.Theolderanimalslookaftertheyoungerones.15.Butwhathappenstothemale(雄性的)elephants?Well,theyoungmalesjustwillstaywiththeirmothersforashorttime.Thentheymustleavethefamily,becausethefemaleswillsendthemaway.Amaleelephantdoesnotoftenhaveafriend.16.Sometimesifthefemalesinviteamaleelephant,thenhecanvisitthemandstay.Butsoonhis“wife”andsisterswillsendhimawayagain.Thefemaleshaveaveryhappyfamilylife.Butwhatdothemaleelephantsthinkaboutit?Wedon’tknow.A.Theyneverforgetgreatsadnessorgreathappiness.B.Helivesfarawayfromthefamilyandothermaleelephants.C.Theyliketoplaywitheachotherandsometimestheygetinjured.D.Therewillbeafewyoungmales—afew“babyboys”.E.Themothersteachtheirdaughtersandsetagoodexample.F.Theelephantisthebiggestfour-leggedanimalintheworld.G.Themaleelephantswanttostaywiththefemaleones,buttheyarenotwelcome.12.解析:依据下文介绍了大象这一动物,且空格后“Itisalso,perhaps,thegentlest,butnotalways!”可知,它或许也是最和顺的动物,但并不总是这样!F项“大象是世界上最大的四条腿动物”符合文意,故选F项。答案:F13.解析:依据上文“Theycanrememberthingsverywell.”可知,它们的记忆力很好。A项“它们恒久不会遗忘巨大的哀痛或巨大的华蜜”,符合文意,故选A项。答案:A14.解析:依据上文“Elephantsarelikeus,buttheyarealsodifferentfromus.Theyliveinthefamiliesoffemaleswherethefemalesarethekings.”可知,大象和我们一样,但它们也不同于我们。它们生活在雌性家族中,雌性是国王。D项“会有一些年幼的雄象——一些‘雄性幼象’”,符合语境,故选D项。答案:D15.解析:依据上文“Thefemaleswouldstaytogetherforfifty,sixtyorahundredyears.Theolderanimalslookaftertheyoungerones.”可知,雌性会在一起待上五十、六十或一百年,年长的动物照看年幼的动物。E项“母亲们教它们的女儿,并树立一个好榜样”,符合文意,故选E项。答案:E16.解析:依据上文“Thentheymustleavethefamily,becausethefemaleswillsendthemaway.Amaleelephantdoesnotoftenhaveafriend.”可知,然后它们必需离开这个家庭,因为雌象会把它们赶走,雄象通常没有挚友。B项“它住在远离家庭和其他雄性大象的地方”,符合文意,故选B项。答案:BReadingandThinking(2)[基础测评]Ⅰ.单句语法填空1.Theseventeen-year-oldboyputupapictureofhisidolbesidethebedtokeephimselfremindedhisowndream.
