teeth.In South Africa over the lasttwo years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns.These numbers are alarming,because current rates ofillegal hunting are faster than birth rates,which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures intheir environment.Indeed,some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the nextdecade.If you are reading this,you may already be aware of these facts.But you might not know that wildlife trafficking（走私）not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species,such astigers,tortoises,sea turtlesand the worlds most trafficked mammalpangolins（穿山甲）.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales（鳞），which makes them look very strong.But actually they are endangered mammals.There are eight different species of pangolins,four in Asia and four inAfrica,and all are threatened with extinction.Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries wherethey live,high demand in East Asia,where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scalesare used in traditional medicines,is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts.The number ofpangolin trafficking is shocking.Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were takenfrom the wild.It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February,the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking,which lays out the steps we will taketo fight the illegal trade in wildlife,including pangolins.We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan;buildinginternational cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife;raising awareness to drive down the demand that isfueling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day（March 3）by spreading the plan.Use social media and telleveryone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species,big andsmall,from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.1、How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?A.4.B.5.C.6.D.7.2、Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A.Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.B Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.C.The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.D.High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.3、What can we know about the plan released by the US?A.Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B.Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C.The demand leading to the illegal trade in East Asia is to be brought down.D.The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.4、What is the authors intention of writing the passage?A.To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B.To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C.To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D.To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.22.（8 分）While elephants born without tusks（长牙）are not unheard of,they normally form just 2 to 6 percentof the population.However,that is not the case at Mozambiques Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33percent of female elephants born after the countrys civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to bejust a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may bewitnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.Poole says before the countrys 15-year-long civil war,the 100,000acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help financeweapons（武器）and meat to feed the soldiers.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had notusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the parks tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At ZambiasSouth Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area2_ areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970sand 1980s,35%of elephants 25 years or older and 13%of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 studypublished in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park inTanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change thetrend.1、What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Illegal hunting.B.Constant farming.C.A pure coincidence.D.Natural evolution.2、Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?A.To get funds by selling ivory.B.To develop new weapons.C.To provide food for local people.D.To make ivory products.3、Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?A.Gorongonsa National Park.B.South Luangwa National Park.C.The Ruaha National Park.D.Lupande Game Management Area.4、What does the underlined phrase“the trendin the last paragraph refer to?A.Elephants facing greater danger.B.Elephants growing more slowly.C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.D.More female elephants being tuskless.23.（8 分）To help you travel well in Argentina,weve put together some exciting

Trent Satterthwaite,whowere reportedly digging in the field.At first,they couldnt figure out what they were seeing.“It was probably a rib bone that came up,“Bristle tells Ann Arbor News.uWe thought it was a bent fence post.”Upon closer inspection,however;it became clear even to untrained eyes this was no fence post.We knew it wassomething special.Then they sped up the dig.After finding the bones Monday night,Bristle called the University of Michigan Tuesday morning to report his And.Scientist Daniel Fisher arrived to inspect it Wednesday,and by Thursday morning he had confirmed its a

use.Its still too early to tell exactly how itdied,Fisher tells Detroifs WWJ TV,“but the skeleton showed signs of humans butchering.99The bones are being temporarily stored nearby,according to the Free Press,and it remains unclear where theylleventually end up.Their research value will be determined once theyve been cleaned and dried.Woolly mammoths once lived in Eurasia and North America,and
