二、阅读理解

A

　Many years ago, there were thick forests in Britain, home to many animals. However, they no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.

However, all this changed. Now Britain’s population is up to 66 million. Three-quarters of Britain is fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is the countryside, there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild animal feeding on meat.

Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that people should help large wild animals which have not lived in Britain to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.

Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, people have planted over one million trees and there are plans for more—but how about wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!

(　　)11.Why does Britain have fewer wild animals?

A.Because people make their living conditions much worse than before.

B.Because their natural enemies are killing them.

C.Because the number of large animals is getting bigger.

D.Because people there don’t like wild animals.

(　　)12.What does the underlined word “rewilding” probably mean?

A.Protecting wild animals. 

B.Helping wild animals return to Britain.

C.Planting more green plants. 

D.Helping wild animals live better.

(　　)13.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.Some people are against rewilding. B.People plan to plant more trees.

C.Wild animals will be back to Britain. D.Wild animals do harm to humans.

(　　)14.Which of the following can be the best title?

A.Making the UK Greener   

B.Wolves Returning to the UK

C.Saving Wildlife in Britain   

D.Making Britain Wild Again

B

　　What will the world be like if there are no more wild animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions? To some people, that thought is too bad for words. So they are doing something about it. Tiffany Soechting is one of them.

Being with wild animals—feeding them and caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting wants to do with her life. And that is really what she does!

Soechting is the human “mother” to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio. On the farm, she cares for animals from around the world. Soechting says she knows them all. However, two reticulated giraffes take up a special place in her heart. Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years. “I’m so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild.”

Besides her animal caring, Soechting also holds monthly classes, where she teaches school children about the animals.

Soechting also opens the farm to the public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, but they can also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.

The farm is part protection area, part educational centre and part animal park. As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds, it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio, a busy city, is just a few minutes away.

(　　)15.“Soechting is the human ‘mother’ to the 500 animals” shows 　　　　. 

A.she is married and has some children

B.she looks after the animals on the farm well

C.the animals can get along well with each other

D.she teaches school children about animals well

(　　)16.The structure of the passage may be 　　　　. 

(　　)17.According to the passage, Soechting is 　　　　. 

A.serious but lazy B.strict and lovely    C.friendly but careless D.kind and hard-working

(　　)18.The best title of the passage may be “　　　　”. 

A.How to Save Wild Animals 

B.Soechting and Her Wild Animals

C.Two Reticulated Giraffes 

D.A World Without Wild Animals
