(2021年·全国甲卷)
Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育) programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5,500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
24. Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?
A. Costly. B. Controversial.
C. Ambitious. D. Successful.
解析:推理判断题。 根据第一段第二、三句可知,林姆尼港自然保护区在一月份迎来了在保护区内出生的第四十头黑犀幼崽,而众所周知,黑犀是难以圈养繁育的,所以可判断该繁育项目是成功的。
答案:D

25. What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?
A. She loves staying with her mother.
B. She dislikes outdoor activities.
C. She is in good condition.
D. She is sensitive to heat.
解析:细节理解题。本题问及保罗关于新出生的黑犀说了什么。A项:保罗并未提及黑犀幼崽喜欢和妈妈待在一起。B项:根据第二段中的“It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open ... I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring ...”可知,目前外面的天气太冷,不适合黑犀幼崽外出,并不是她不喜欢户外活动。C项:根据第二段中的“She’s healthy, strong and ...”可知,黑犀幼崽的健康状况良好。D项:保罗并未提及黑犀幼崽对高温敏感。
答案:C
26. What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?
A. They had their first born in January.
B. They enjoyed exploring new places.
C. They lived with their grandmothers.
D. They were brought to the reserve young.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When the tiny creature arrived on January 31”和第二段中的“Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.”可知,索利奥是在一月份第一次当妈妈的;根据第三段第二句中的“The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg.”可知,基西马也是在一月份第一次产下幼崽。
答案:A
27. What can be inferred about Port Lympne Reserve?
A. The rhino section will be open to the public.
B. It aims to control the number of the animals.
C. It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild”可知,要判断这些黑犀幼崽能否成为被送回到野生保护区的候选者还为时尚早。因此可推断出,部分犀牛可能会被送回到野生保护区。
答案:D
C
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals. As the saying goes, “Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard. When choosing your lawn and landscaping, choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area. Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats, particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount. They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practise a greener lifestyle. By saving water and fossil fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take public transportation when you can, turn off electric devices when you’re not using them, take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20℃ during the winter. Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming, which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlife friendly. Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife. Write letters to a local newspaper. Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family, the earth’s population will stabilise(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.
28. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. It is impossible to protect wildlife.
B. You can protect wildlife by taking small action.
C. Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.
D. Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.
解析:段落大意题。由第一段第二句“Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals.”可知,虽然保护野生动植物有时看起来很困难,但是实际上,我们完全可以采取一些小的行动来保护它们。故选B。
答案:B
29. What should we do to protect wildlife?
A. Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.
B. Know more knowledge about wildlife.
C. Increase the population in the world.
D. Write letters about animals to your friends.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.”可知,非本地植物可以杀死或干扰为野生动物提供食物和栖息地的本地植物,所以我们要阻止外来动植物破坏自然生态系统。故选A。
答案:A
30. Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle?
A. Planting native trees in your backyard.
B. Keeping the water above 20℃ when you are bathing.
C. Taking a bus when you are going out.
D. Only eating vegetables.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的首句“Practise a greener lifestyle.”和第三句的“Take public transportation when you can”可知,坐公共汽车出行是一种绿色的生活方式,故选C。
答案:C
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Why Global Warming Affects Wildlife
B. Whether We Are Friendly to Wildlife
C. What Makes Wildlife Endangered
D. How We Can Protect Wildlife
解析:标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了我们怎样在日常生活中从小事做起来保护野生动植物,故选D。
答案:D
D
All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill-treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think? 
Group Yes
·Animals weren’t put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose.
·The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild.
·We don’t need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programmes. There’s no need to disturb(打扰) them in real life.
Group No
·It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them.
·Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living.
·Not all animals are treated badly. Some endangered animals are under the protection of programmes that look after rare species.

32. How many wild animals are facing bad treatment according to WAP?
A. More than 100. B. Hundreds.
C. Thousands. D. About 550,000.
解析:细节理解题。从第一段的“up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed to ill-treatment around the world”可知,大约有55万只野生动物未能得到优待。故选D。
答案:D
33. What do the underlined words “such places” refer to the places for?
A. Foreign travellers. B. Sick elephants.
C. Wildlife protection. D. Animal tourism.
解析:指代题。前文介绍了因游客参观而使动物受到伤害,故旅游公司不开放的地方应该为观赏动物的地方。故选D。
答案:D
34. What opinion do the two groups have in common?
A. Animals can live wherever they like.
B. Wildlife should be protected.
C. Animal tourism supports poor people.
D. Wildlife is well looked after.
解析:推理判断题。Group Yes的观点认为不要打扰野生动物,Group No的观点是可以发展动物旅游,以便更好地了解野生动物,两种观点都是为了更好地保护野生动物。故选B。
答案:B
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways of protecting rare species.
B. Different opinions on wildlife tourism.
C. How to bring tourists enjoyment.
D. Whether to collect information on wildlife.
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了人们对野生动物旅游业的两种不同的观点。故选B。
答案:B

根据下面短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever seen an animal being mistreated(虐待)? Seeing a pet or wild animal get hurt might make you sad, angry, or afraid. 36. In fact, the good news is that everyone—including you—can be a helping hand for animals.
Keep your eyes and ears open.

﹡ have cuts or other bruises(伤痕)
﹡ avoid or attack people when people come close
﹡ are too thin
﹡ are missing fur
﹡ are almost always left outside
These signs don’t necessarily mean a pet has been hurt on purpose, but they shouldn’t be ignored. If you see any of these signs, set them down. 38. What did you see or hear? Where? When? Were other people around?
39.
Never move an injured animal! Ask a parent, teacher, or other adults you trust for help. Find out whether the injured animal in your town can be saved by animal shelters or police. Keep their phone numbers at hand. If the person mistreating animals is a friend or family member, tell an adult you trust.
Speak up.
Let other kids know what to do if they see an animal being hurt. Using the information above, make posters to hang or flyers(传单) to hand out at school. Include the phone numbers of the police department or animal shelters who can save the injured animals. 40. They need us to speak up for them!

答案:B
37. 解析:根据“Keep your eyes and ears open.”可知, 建议你注意四周,即要关注你周围邻居的宠物。“Watch for changes in the way they look or act. Look out for animals that ...”注意它们外表或行为方式的变化,可推断,E项“要了解周围的宠物”符合上下文语境。
答案:E
38. 解析:根据上句“如果你看到这样的迹象,把它们记下来。”及下文“What did you see or hear? Where? When? Were other people around?”你看到或听到了什么、在哪里、什么时候、是否有其他人等这些细节应该记录下来。故D项“或者如果你看到有人伤害动物,记下细节”符合语境。
答案:D
39. 解析:根据“Never move an injured animal!Ask a parent, teacher, or other adults you trust for help.”可知,本段主要讲述了看到受伤的动物时,寻求成年人的帮助,G项短小精悍、语言简炼、内容概括,符合语境。
答案:G
40. 解析:根据“They need us to speak up for them!”可知,它们(动物)需要我们为它们发声。可推知,C项“记住,动物不会为自己发声”符合语境。

what like national parks today. The killing of animals was 59.

If we don’t take 64. 　　　　(measure) to protect wildlife, some day our children will see no living creatures 65. 　　　　themselves. 
56. 解析:句意:在印度,几百年前人们就意识到了这种保护的必要性。根据语境和空后的centuries ago可知,应用一般过去时;又因realise和the need for such protection之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数。故填was realised。
答案:was realised
57. 解析:此处泛指“一个印度人”,且Indian以元音音素开头,故填an。
答案:an
58. 解析:分析句子结构可以看出,空格处引导的是修饰forests的定语从句,而定语从句中缺少主语,故填that/which。
答案:that/which
59. 解析: 句意:捕杀动物受到严格的监督。根据空格前的was和空格后的supervised可知,空格处应填副词,修饰动词,故填carefully。
答案:carefully
60. 解析:句意:没有人被允许砍伐木材,烧木头做木炭,或者抓动物取毛皮。allow sb to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”,为固定用法。故填to cut。
答案:to cut
61. 解析:句意:对人类游客有危险的动物在公园外被捕获或杀死,这样其他动物就不会感到不安。根据空格前的became可知,空格处需要填形容词作表语,故填dangerous。
答案:dangerous
62. 解析:根据空后的than可知,空格处应用形容词的比较级,故填greater。
答案:greater
63. 解析:句意:大约有一千种动物面临灭绝的危险,而且它们被毁灭的速度还在增长。根据语境可知,此处表示动物灭绝的速度正在增长,所以应用现在进行时。故填is increasing。
答案:is increasing
64. 解析:句意:如果我们不采取措施保护野生动物,总有一天,我们的孩子将除了他们自己,看不到任何生物。take measures to do sth意为“采取措施做某事”,为固定用法,故填measures。
答案:measures
65. 解析:根据语境可知,此处指除了孩子们自己,他们看不到别的生物,故填but/except。
答案:but/except

答案:
Dear WWF, 
Now a growing number of wild animals are dying out every year. So how to protect the wildlife draws increasing attention. My advice is as follows. 
First, the government should set up some nature reserves for wild animals where no one can hunt them. Once a poacher is found, he or she must be reported to the Wildlife Protection Association. Second, we would like to promote people’s awareness of protecting wild animals. Third, we had better not cut down as many trees as we wish because the forest is the home of wild animals. Last but not least, we are not supposed to kill wild animals for their fur or eat their meat.
Please help the wild animals and I am strongly convinced that we will live with them in peace with your help. 
Yours truly, 
Wang Ping 
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Christmas Goose Kept Them Warm
This late December, my younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose. The hike over Little Mountain and back to get there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.
Dark clouds were gathering in the sky above and a cold wind came in from the north. The snow would be falling soon enough. Uncle Tommie met us at the door with a worried expression. “I’m not rushing you boys off, ” he said, “but the way the wind is picking up, you’d better get the goose and head for home. ”
I didn’t argue. Having scooped(迅速抱住) up a goose in the yard and held him tightly under my arm, I said a quick thank you and goodbye. Buddy and I had what we came for: the best Christmas dinner ever. A light snow started as we began climbing up Little Mountain. We didn’t talk for a while. The snow came down harder and the wind seemed to blow straight through my coat. I stroked(轻抚) the goose’s head and said, “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you, or heavier coats.”
The goose hid his head closer to his feathered body. By the time we reached the top of the mountain, both Buddy Earl and I were in horror. We could barely see through the snow spinning(旋转) around us.
“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy Earl said. “I think we should go back.” But we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on. I was so cold, my legs getting so stiff; I honestly wondered if we would make it.
I grasped Uncle Tommie’s goose closer to my chest. That bird was the only thing warm about me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
With an idea occurring to me, I stepped to my brother and asked him to open his coat. _____________________________________________

With an idea occurring to me,I stepped to my brother and asked him to open his coat. “Are you crazy?” he was confused. When he saw I was serious he slowly unzipped his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up.“Keep the goose’s head out so he can breathe.” Buddy Earl sighed happily. My plan was working.We passed the goose back and forth between us all the way down. He didn’t complain about it either. At the foot of the mountain, we left the wind and whirring snow behind. When mum met us with her open arms, I showed mum the goose inside my coat. 
Settled in front of the warm stove,we explained how the goose had kept us from freezing. “We can’t have time for dinner,” Buddy Earl and I said in chorus. This goose might have saved our lives. We had to save his!Mum agreed and promised not to eat him either.I don’t remember what we ate. I just know it wasn’t goose. Charley, as we named him, lived out his life piddling around the yard and pond, bossing around the chickens we kept for eggs. Dad even bought a couple more geese to keep Charley company. A life as the most important bird this side of Little Mountain was fitting for our hero.
