    Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more arein critical danger. Finding
    ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.
    Dodo
    The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless
    Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's
    trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of
    food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys
    and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.
    Rhinos
    The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being
    hunted in its natural habitat.Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live in protected
    natural parks and reserves (保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the
    animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).
    The Giant Panda
    The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbolis far from certain.As few as 1,000 remain in the wild.
    The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves  to  protect  these  beautiful animals  and  made
    poaching  them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, the panda's distinct black and white
    patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of
    the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
    Whales
    The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whalespecies. Despite
    the fact that one-third the world's oceans  have  been  declared  whale sanctuaries (保护区),7 out of 13
    whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to
    just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
    Tigers
    The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously
    close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers' bones and organs are
    sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

    A. the Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals
    B. Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo
    C. the Dodo used to be a strong animal that liked fighting
    D. the Dodo, pigs, monkeys and rats were the natives to the Island of Mauritius
    2. Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text?
    A. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.
    B. The Rhino, Whale and the South China tiger.
    C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
    D. The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.
    3. ________can serve as a cure for certain diseases.
    A. The whale's rich oil
    B. The panda's black and white patched coat
    C. The Rhino horn and tigers' bones and organs
    D. The Dodo's delicious meat

    A. The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
    B. Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
    C. People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念:

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧:

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考,理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文,从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:
       第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;
       第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;
       第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing):
      阅完材料后,将所阅材料浓缩,摘要,做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization):
      阅读后根据阅读内容,识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如:时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
