Elephants are truly incredible animals.August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants.What do you know about elephants?Here are some facts you may not know.

We know that elephants are large.But did you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree (金合欢树),because it is home to ants and an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk.Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings.

Female elephants live in groups of about 15 animals.The oldest in the group is the leader.She decides not only when and where they move but also when they rest all the year.Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15.But they aren’t loners.They live in all-male groups.

Asian elephants don’t run.Running requires lifting all four feet at once.But elephants filmed in Thailand always kept at least two on the ground at all times.

Elephants have passed the mirror test.They recognize themselves in a mirror.According to tests,great apes,and dolphins also have this ability.

Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves.“Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their heads to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off,” said Tony Barthel,working at Smithsonian’s National Zoo.How do elephants protect their young?Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep.

Some farmers in Kenya protect their fields from elephants by lining the borders with beehives.Not only are their crops saved,but the farmers also get more money from honey.

Ⅵ.七选五

Should We Create More National Parks

to Save Endangered Animals?

Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct?　1　 And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks. 

　2　 If this environment is destroyed—for example,when farmers clear a forest for new fields,or trees are cut down to make profits—many animals are unable to survive,and more species are likely to become extinct. 

In addition,national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted.A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters.They hunt animals to make money.　3　 

On the other hand,some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it is wrong to interfere with nature.They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment.　4　 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks. 

All in all,these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks.　5　 As a matter of fact,they protect animals from their greatest enemies,that is,human beings. 

A.To begin with,animals are important to humans.

B.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.

C.I personally believe that we must save these animals.

D.These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.

E.Firstly,national parks protect these animals’ natural environment.

F.They say though the animals may face danger,they enjoy a free life.

G.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。8月12日是世界大象日。本文介绍了一些关于大象的知识。

1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants.”可知,World Elephant Day是为了保护并拯救大象而设立的节日。故选B项。

2.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But did you know that...Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings.”可知,大象经常不吃一种金合欢树,因为这种树是蚂蚁的家,大象不想让蚂蚁进入自己的鼻子,它的鼻子有很多敏感的神经末梢。由此推断金合欢树上大量的蚂蚁一旦爬到大象的鼻子里,会对大象敏感的神经末梢带来一定的伤害,所以大象不愿吃这种树。故选D项。

3.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15.”可推知,雄性大象幼年时(也就是12岁—15岁之前)是与雌性群体共同生活的。故选A项。

4.B　细节理解题。根据第六段的“Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep.”可知,成年大象会让自己的孩子躺在沙子里,然后在幼象睡觉时守护着幼象,故B项正确。根据第六段中的“Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their heads to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off”可知,大象常把沙子弄在自己的头上是为了防晒和驱赶虫子,而不是保护幼象,故排除A项;文中未提及C项;文中大象是用沙子而不是用鼻子驱赶虫子,并且这也不是保护小象的措施,排除D项。

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章就“我们是否应该创建更多的国家公园来保护濒危动物”进行了论述并得出了结论。

1.C　根据上一句可知,越来越多的动物濒临灭绝。根据下一句可知,作者认为最好的办法是政府建更多的国家公园。C项“我个人认为我们必须拯救这些动物。”承接上下句,符合语境。

2.E　根据本段内容及第三段第一句可知这两段在说创建国家公园的好处,故选E项。

3.B　此处在讲猎人猎杀动物的原因。上一句“They hunt animals to make money.”是其中一个原因,B项“有些猎人甚至纯粹为了运动而猎杀动物。”是另一个原因,故选B项。

4.F　此处在讲反对者的想法,F项“他们说尽管这些动物可能会面临危险,但是它们喜欢一种自由的生活。”符合语境。

5.D　根据“As a matter of fact,they protect animals from their greatest enemies,that is,human beings.”可知,国家公园可以保护动物免受人类的捕杀,是它们安全的庇护所。故D项“这些公园允许动物们生活在一个安全的环境中。”符合语境。

Ⅶ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。在外求学的我思念家人,于是给母亲打电话,母亲在电话中的一番话语使我茅塞顿开。

1.B　根据后面的“Going to college so far away”判断,我去费城上大学。

2.A　由后面语境“especially when I get upset”可知,上那么远的大学有时对我来说真的很难。at times“时而;偶尔”;in charge“负责”;at war“处于战争中;在打仗”;under attack“遭到袭击”,因此A项正确。

3.C　根据上文“I hadn’t seen my own family in months”,前后是因果关系,所以“想象”这样的事情发生在我的父母或姐妹身上是难以忍受的。

4.D　根据后面语境“This sense of sadness 　　　me and stayed with me for a couple of days”判断,想象这样的事情发生在我的父母或姐妹身上是难以忍受的。D项符合语境。 

5.C　根据后面的“and stayed with me”判断,这种悲伤的感觉笼罩着我。call for“需要;要求”;check in“登记进入”;come over“抓住;过来” refer to“指的是;提及”,因此选C项。

6.D　根据前面的homesick判断,我真的很想念我的家人。因此D项正确。

7.A　前面提到“I felt more and more homesick”,后面提到“was the stress of coming exams and homework assignments”,在这个情感之上的,是即将到来的考试和家庭作业的压力。故选A项。

8.B　根据前面的homesick与tragedy判断,我伤心的感觉挥之不去。因此B项正确。

9.B　根据后面语境“She sent me a few inspirational 　　　”判断,在任何情况下,她似乎总是对我有完美的建议。因此B项正确。 

10.C　这里的意思是,你不能把你的幸福交到任何人或任何事物手里。因此选C项。

11.D　根据后面的“and so concerned”判断,她乐于助人。因此D项符合语境。

12.D　这里谈到我与母亲的交流。据此可知,她给我发了一些鼓舞人心的话语,因此D项符合语境。

13.C　前面谈到母亲对我的安慰,据此可知,我的母亲对我的爱是多么的神奇。

14.B　根据后面语境“to have a person who cares for me so much”判断,我很感激能有人来这么关心我。因此B项符合语境。

15.A　前面提到“I just felt so 　　　to have a person who cares for me so much.”后面提到“no one else I meet in my life will ever love me so much”。因此选A项。
