Penguins(企鹅) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbor’s ground, it must ask for permission(允许). If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight for fish and look after their children.
All penguins are good parents—the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them—not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows—sometimes at 150 kilometers an hour. The penguins do not move.
When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It doesn’t matter. Only one thing— their eggs. Male penguins never fight—unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.
61.How long do the female penguins go away for after they lay their eggs?
A. For about 2 days
B. For about 2 weeks
C. For about 2months
D. For about 2 years
62.It seems interesting and unusual that the male penguins choose their wives __________.
A. when the female penguins return from the sea
B. just by hearing in the darkness
C. each time they see their lovely females
D. after they have had their own grounds
63.It is __________ that take care of the eggs.
A. the male penguins
B. the female penguins
C. both the husbands and the wives
D. the penguins that lost in the fight
64.When ___________, a penguin can walk through its neighbor’s ground.
A. it wins the fight
B. it has become a father
C. it gets married
D. it gets permission
65.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Female penguins often have their new husbands.
B. Penguins often fight for fishing.
C. Male penguins use their ears to choose wives.
D. Female penguins take care of the eggs. C
The panda is one of the animals most in danger. There are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today. Zoos and research centers look after about 160 pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoo.
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of south-west China. They mainly live on bamboo, and each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller and smaller for many different reasons, so pandas have less and less land to live on. Pandas don’t have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is becoming very serious.
Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. The nature reserves will be bigger and bamboo will grow better. Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.
Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the most famous animals in the world. It is the symbol (象征)for the World Wide Fund for Nature. The WWF works to protect all animals in danger, so the panda has become the symbol of all the animals in danger. There is still a long way to go to save the panda. Think of other animals in danger, such as tigers, whales, turtles and elephants-we need to save the pandas, and we need to save them, too.
66. The number of pandas is________in nature reserves today.
A. over 2000
B. less 1000
C. about 1000
D. more and more
67. Paragraph 2 is mainly about_______.
A. why pandas are in danger
B. why baby pandas often die
C. how to protect all animals
D. how to plant more bamboo
68. The government is trying ______to help the pandas.
A. to build more zoos
B. to send more scientists
C. to make bigger nature reserves
D. to ask the WWF to work in China
69. What is the symbol for the World Wide Fund for Nature?
A. The tiger
B. The panda
C. The elephant
D. The whale
70. What’s the purpose(目的) of the passage?
A. To describe pandas
B. To ask people to protect pandas
C. To tell the ways to save pandas
D. To introduce WWF
D
Wild animals are our friends, but the number of them is getting smaller and smaller. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves’ food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
71. What do golden monkeys live on?
A. Grass
B. Insects
C. Meat
D. fruit and bamboo leaves
72.Tibetan antelopes usually live in groups of about _______.
A. 20
B. 30
C. 100
D. 200
73.Which of the following animals are the biggest on land?

B. Golden monkeys usually move around during the night.
C. Elephants have good eyesight, but very poor hearing and smell.

Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller and smaller year by year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your homes, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
77
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.
78
Cats can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yards, and further weaken(使变弱) the health of the natural populations.
Going outside is bad for cats too.
Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds or wildlife. It is bad for the cats themselves too. 79
In autumn, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from cold winter.

Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone.

Dear all,
I am in the Wildlife Club. I am writing to tell you the importance of protecting wild animals. The bears are big and strong. They have short tails. They live on meat and fish. They move around slowly in the daytime. They sleep through the winter. However, they are in danger. Hunters kill bears for their fur and paws. Cranes have long necks and white feathers. They usually fly south for the winter. They also face danger. People make the wetlands smaller to have more ce for farms and buildings so there is less and less living ce for them. Fishermen keep fishing, so they don’t have enough food. We must take action to protect them. First, we should stop people from hunting wild animals. Then we can build some nature reserves for them.
I hope you can join us. Thank you for your kind action.
Best Wishes。
