9、neral.BThe African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth , is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (大草原) surroundings

10、in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it

11、must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attr

12、act a variety of other planteaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on th

13、e forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many

14、other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.24What is the passage mainly about?ADisappearance of African elephants.BForests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.CThe effect of African elephantssearch for food.D

17、cribing the changes in space order Dgiving examplesCGolden lion tamarins(金头狮狨) are part of the monkey family.These small creatures live in thick forests in Brazil, South America.They travel in small groups in search of food.They hide and sleep in the hollow(洞) of a tree.They take very good care of t

18、heir babies. Even the male tamarin takes a strong interest in feeding and raising the young ones.Unfortunately, the forests in which they live are being cut down for farming and they are also caught and sold as pets.There are only about one hundred tamarins left.The European otter(水獭) lives all arou

19、nd Europe.It has soft, brown fur on its body. It is almost 75cm long. Its tail is half as long as its body. Its head is flat and broad. It has small and round ears. It can close its ears and nostrils(鼻孔) when it dives in the water. It has short, strong legs with web bed feet. Loss of habitat is a th

20、reat to the European otter. It is also hunted for its fur.Orangutan(猩猩) is a longarmed, redfurred animal that lives in the warm, wet forests on the islands of Bomeo and Sumatra in Southeast Asia. It looks like a man in many ways. So it is named orangutan, which means “man of the woods”. Orangutans a

21、re in danger only because of people. People are cutting down the forests where they live and hunting orangutans. The hunters kill the mothers and sell the babies to zoos. But most babies die because the hunters dont know how to take care of them.Giant pandas live in the forests of China and they are

22、 in danger. They eat only one kind of foodbamboo shoots(竹笋). But there are not always enough bamboo plants to be found. Every hundred years the bamboo plants produce seeds and die. It then takes several years for the seeds to grow. By the time the plants are big enough to eat, many giant pandas have

23、 already died of hunger.28What do we learn about golden lion tamarins?AThey usually search for food alone. BMales seldom look after the young.CThey are hardly seen when they are asleep.DThey can be easily seen because they are big.29European otters are hunted mainly because_Apeople like keeping them

25、down.31The four paragraphs above are most probably taken from an article about_Athings we can do to protect wild animalsBthe effect of human activities on natureCthe living habits of some wild animalsDendangered animals in the wildDFoxes have become a part of life in Britains urban areas.They are st

26、riking creatures but they are also dangerous.Three years ago, twin baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home. Last week, a fourweekold baby boy Denny Dolan was bitten by a fox which entered his

27、 home. After gaining access to the home through the front door, the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside, biting him and almost severing(割断) his finger.Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we dont change our behavior towa

28、rds these increasingly fearless animals. It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans.On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home.

29、The result is that the fox is more brazen(厚颜无耻的) and less inclined to avoid us. It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans. However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they wont bother humans.On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of

30、 resources in rural areas. We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories. Foxes have no choice but to live and search for food in the city. If they live in the forest, no fox attack will happen.We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their nat

31、ural habitat.We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals. We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purposekill to eat.We must certainly not intervene them, even when they look starved. They are hungry for a reason. The hunger will force t

32、hem to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door.32We can learn from the passage that_Ait is common for people to spot foxes in British citiesBit is very difficult for people to raise foxes as petsCit is common for foxes to attack a child in Britains urban areasDit is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britains urban areas33Why do more and more foxes flood into cities?ABecause
