The squirrels had no 2 coming up right to me for them.As the months went by, the rabbits saw that I was no 3 and didn't escape. When I threw carrot slices (薄片), they even came for a nibble (啃). Slowly they came to 4 me, and by the end of the year they were eating out of my hand.That second year, the rabbits 5 me, and one would even sit up for slices! While I was feeding them, I 6 that a groundhog who used to run away was now taking an 7 interest in this food situation. I carefully extended a long 8 , with a keen eye on those teeth, and 9 , there were times I would have the groundhog sitting next to a rabbit, both munching (津津有味地咀嚼) on carrots. A few months later, while 10 , she would even turn her back to me. 11 when she was facing away, I reached out and 12 scratched (搔) her back with my finger. She didn't move.By year three, the rabbits and the groundhog were back. The groundhog 13 didn't have a problem with me scratching her back, and I got an idea. I'd always 14 , while slicing up carrots, that the end looked like a cap. 15 one day，just to see what she would do, I gently 16 one on top of the groundhog's head. Again, not a 17 .

Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why？Because hawks eat mice．With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.21.What is the best title for the passage?A.Save the Animalseful Animalsws for AnimalsD.Animals in Danger22. Animals are important to us mainly because ________.A. they give us a source of foodB. they are beautiful and lovelyC. they keep the balance of natureD. they give us a lot of pleasure23. What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied”in the passage?A. Became more.B. Became less.C. Turned black.D. Ate food.24. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time agoB. animals play an important role in people’s lifeC. the number of hawks is on the decreaseD. many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animalBMore than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by 2050, according to a shocking new study. By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food.Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab, using computer models. Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all­time low.However, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bear­hunting trips.25.What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?A.He is an animal scientist.B.He is a protector of animals working for the US government.C.He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.D.He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.26. Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?A. Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.B. Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.C. Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.D. Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.27. What is this passage mainly about?A. Global warming makes the whole world different.B. Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.C. Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.D. Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.CStarbucks says it uses one billion plastic straws(吸管) every year, but itplans to stop the use of plastic straws in each of its 28, 000 stores across theglobe. Starbucks’ announcement comes just a week after Seattle, the city where the first Starbucks opened, forbade plastic straws.In order to replace the straws, Starbucks has developed a new lid(盖子) for some of its drinks like iced coffee and tea. Actually, the lid has a raised lip. Some people have compared the new lids to “adult sippy cups”, CNN Business reported.Starbucks is always saying it is a company that cares much about the environment. In recent years, awareness about the effect that plastic is having on the environment—in particular, the ocean—has caused scientists to sound the alarm about a need to curb the use of plastics.“What we realize is that these billions of little things in the ocean, such as one man’s toothbrush, one lady’s comb, all can cause the problem,” Emily Penn said. She is the co­founder of an expedition(探险队).“But what makes us happy is that we can solve it well through our daily actions. We need billions of small actions—just little daily things to reduce the pollution.”Customers who still want to enjoy a Starbucks drink with a straw will be able to request one, but it won’t be plastic. Instead, they will be given a straw made from paper or other eco­friendly materials.In May, McDonald’ s said it would experience a change from the use of plastic to paper straws in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The announcement from Starbucks could be a sign that more large chain restaurants will accept this kind of activity.28.How does Starbucks serve customers without using plastic straws?A.By selling iced drinks.B.By providing cups without lids.C.By using spoons to replace straws.D.By providing a new kind of cups.29. What does the underlined word “curb”in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Stop.B．Notice. C．Control. D．Report.30. According to Emily Penn, what can be the main cause of sea pollution?A. Plastic alarms.B. Some special lids.C. Paper straws in the ocean.D. Small things thrown into the sea.31. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Starbucks Will Stop Using Plastic StrawsB. Starbucks Is Trying to Reduce Sea PollutionC. Starbucks Will Invent a New Kind of StrawsD. Starbucks Is Trying to Attract More Customers三、七选五As we “happen to be” the best creature in the world, it’s our duty to look after other species.Here are some points which might help to protect wildlife.Join organizations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund.
