　　Unit 4 Wildlife protectio

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2015·石家庄市二模)

　　Upon entering college, Yang Yi was uncertain about a lot of things. However, the 19­year­old international economics and trade student was certain about one thing: She wanted to participate in animal welfare efforts.

　　“I'm always a nature and animal lover.” she said. She joined the environmental protection association at her school. Now being president of a group of 25, she leads its efforts to help stray(流浪)

　　cats and dogs by raising money to buy them food and collecting old clothes to make them homes.

　　However, sometimes the association raises doubts. Some students have questioned whether helping stray animals breaks the laws of nature. “We tried to resolve the controversy，” Yang said. “For wild animals, the best way to protect them is to preserve their environment and their natural habitat, and to let them live their own way. However, for animals that depend heavily on humans, such as dogs and cats, the proper way to treat them is to respect them and take care of them.” Besides, if not accommodated properly, stray animals can bring threats to public health, as they are the main cause of rabies(狂犬病) in cities. “Now, many young people in China have agreed upon the need to strike a balance between humans and nature. The only problem is how，” said Yang. Yang and her fellow volunteers are cautious about what they do to help. For instance, sometimes people feed stray cats human food such as chocolate. But Yang and her friends point that such food can be dangerous to stray cats.

　　Yang also cooperates with Non­Governmental Organizations to spread animal protection knowledge. One of their recent exhibits was about animals in the entertainment industry, “We are still figuring out the best way to protect animals, but simple deeds such as saying no to animal performances can prevent wildlife from being captured and tamed. Step by step, we'll eventually reach our goal，” she said.

　　文章大意：这篇短文主要介绍：十九岁的国际经济贸易系的女大学生杨毅，她很喜欢大自然，是动物爱好者。为了不让那些流浪的狗、猫等动物受到侵害，避免狂犬病的扩展，她和她的朋友们加入了环境和动物保护协会。

　　(2015·长春市质监三)

　　I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.

　　One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don't judge them. They trust animals in ways they don't with humans.

　　Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation(合作)and sympathy.

　　Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group­living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.

　　It's clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master's degree in nature writing.

　　Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There's a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.

　　文章大意：本文是教育类小故事阅读。作者用和动物之间的关系来教育那些囚犯们，没想到却让他们的生活翻开了新的一页。人是可以教得好的。

　　5．The author's course is welcomed by the prisoners because ________.

　　A．they consider animals their best friends

　　B．they are curious about animal kingdom

　　C．they feel it easier to get along with animals

　　D．they are more familiar with animal behavior

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段的One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people可知犯人们喜欢作者的课程因为他们发现和动物交流更容易。A项他们认为动物是他们的最好朋友；B项他们对动物王国感到好奇；C项他们感到和动物交流更容易；D项他们对动物行为更熟悉。故选C。

　　6．The author used wolves as an example to ________.

　　A．provide the prisoners with more knowledge

　　B．explain the cruel side of group­living animals

　　C．help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork

　　D．inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段I use examples of the social behavior of group­living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group可知作者把狼作为范例是想帮助囚犯意识到团队工作中合作的重要性。A项给囚犯提供更多的知识；B项解释群居动物的残酷性；C项帮助囚犯理解团队工作的重要性；D项告诉囚犯动物让人陷入麻烦之中。故选C。

　　7．We can infer from the text that some prisoners ________.

　　A．have turned over a new leaf

　　B．are required to attend the course

　　D．prefer humane education to science

　　答案：A　判断推理题。根据文章第五段的I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations中的关键词set free释放，可推断一些囚犯的生活翻开了新的一页。A项已经翻开了新的一页；B项被要求参加课程；C项更愿意学习劳动技能；D项和科技相比更喜欢人道教育。故选A。

　　(2015·东北三省四市二模)

　　You often find somebody who works around you complaining(抱怨) all the time, don't you? ___1__ About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.

　　1．Self­awareness

　　When a negative(消极的) thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That's a nice shirt, but I can't afford it，” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” ___2__

　　Of course everyone complains

　　sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.

　　2．Distance yourself

　　___3__ Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand.

　　3．Don't try to change complainers

　　If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. ___4__ If someone says, “I hate Mondays; weekends are too short，” try to think, “I'm glad I rested up over the weekend, so I'm ready to make some improvement on that big project.”

　　4.___5__

　　When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it？” In most cases, complainers don't really want a solution(解决方法). They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.

　　A．Find solutions

　　B．Change responsibility

　　C．You have got a lot of company.

　　D．By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.

　　E．But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.

　　F．Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.

　　G．You will never know what they are going to talk about.

　　文章大意：本文为说明文。主要介绍了如何应对爱抱怨的人。

　　1．C　由前一句“You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time”和后一句“About 70% of Americans say...”可知答案选C。

　　2．D　根据上文change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it”可知，这种想法会帮助我们建立积极的态度。故答案选D。

　　3．F　从标题句Distance yourself和本段最后“because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand”，可知要远离消极的人，故选F。

　　4．E　根据本段最后一句的举例“ I'm glad I rested up over the weekend, so I'm ready to...”可知要从不同的角度思考。故答案选E。

　　5．B　根据段落内容和关键句“throw the responsibility back at them by”可知答案选B。

　　Ⅲ.短文改错

　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。

　　增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。

　　删除：把多余的词用()划掉。

　　修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

　　注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

The most damaged result of development has been that it has divided the panda's habitat into little islands of forest. Today, many panda are isolated in these small sections of forest, because of they will cross into areas which people live. The result is that the giant pandas can connect with one another to mate and have babies.

　　Besides, to our relief, there is still some good news that people are trying to help the giant pandas by creating protected areas.

　　文章大意：文章讲述了随着人类的发展，熊猫的栖息地越来越小，它们的生活和繁衍受到严重影响，但让人欣慰的是人们正在帮大熊猫建保护区。

　　1．命题立意：考查谓语动词的时态和语态。

　　解析：had→have　此处指人们和大熊猫到“现在”为止已经生活了几千年了。所以谓语动词应选用现在完成时“have done”。

　　2．命题立意：考查形容词和副词。

　　解析：great→greatly　该句意思为：中国人口已经大幅度的增长，此处greatly 修饰谓语动词“have been growing”，故用副词。

　　3．命题立意：考查谓语动词的单复数。

　　解析：mean→means　根据上下文可知此处应为一般现在时，又因该句主语为“it”，故用第三人称单数。

　　4．命题立意：考查非谓语动词。

　　解析：live前加to　此处为不定式作宾语补足语，force sb./sth. to do sth.，迫使某人或某物做某事，是固定用法。

　　5．命题立意：考查非谓语动词。

　　解析：damaged→damaging　damaged被破坏了的，damaging有破坏性的，此处为分词作定语，修饰result，表示有破坏性的结果。

　　6．命题立意：考查名词的单复数。

　　解析：panda→pandas　panda前面由many修饰，故用复数。

　　7．命题立意：考查连词。

　　解析：because of去掉of 　because of后面接名词、动名词或what引导的从句，because后面接除what以外的词引导的从句。

　　8．命题立意：考查定语从句。

　　解析：which→where或which前加in或live后加in　此处先行词areas在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，故选用关系副词where或in which或在不及物动词live后加in。

　　举一反三：1.I grew up in the small village where I was born. (where引导定语从句，先行词是village，且在从句中作地点状语)

　　2．I grew up in the small village which I was born in.(which引导定语从句，先行词是village, 且在从句中作in的宾语)

　　3．I grew up where I was born.(where引导地点状语从句，且在从句中作地点状语)

　　9．命题立意：考查上下文语境。

　　解析：can→can't或can后加not　分析上下文可知此处意为“结果就是大熊猫不能够与另外的配偶联系、不能够繁殖”。

　　10．命题立意：考查副词。

　　解析：Besides→However　上文在说不好的结果，但下文说“让人欣慰的是……”，表转折。
