After meeting at Staffordshire s Keele University, they fell in love with Skye on a geology field trip in 1979.“The island is only 50 miles north to south, but the variety of terrain(地形)and wildlife is impressive,v says Paul.Grace adds, “We both loved Gavin MaxwelT s Ring of Bright Water and were really passionate about otters (水獭).It was our dream to get away from the rat race, get married and run wildlife holidays and courses on Skye. ”Five years and 29 loan applications later, they moved to Skye. They were relieved to say goodbye to crowds and traffic and found that the island (population: about P20,000) attracts like - minded people. " A lot of musicians and craftspeople move here, looking for peace,“ says Grace.After locals started bringing them injured animals, they built a wildlife hospital and have since cared for 170 otters. Paul has gained a PhD in otter ecology and they've set up the International Otter Survival Fund otter, org) , which supports conservation projects worldwide.Their three kids had carefree childhoods in a tight-knot community. "We could give them lots of freedom because people watch out for each other's children here,v Grace explains.She continues, “We go to Inverness (a town in northern Scotland) about once a year for a concert , but otherwise everything we want is here. You have to be mentally and practically self- sufficient. We built a metal shed (小屋),but that took off in the 90 mph winds. Anything not built solidly will leave.It's often very dark and wet from November to March, which can be quite depressing. If there's wind and rain at the same time, no amount of waterproof clothing will keep you dry. But we make up for it in the summer. With the long days, there's nowhere better. ”Paul concludes, “There's something so special about living here and having a sense of belonging.”语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。一对夫妇为了远离城市的喧嚣 来到苏格兰西北部的斯凯岛居住。1.

The topic has made the cover of National Geographic Magazine. Supporters say they are doing i_t for moral reasons and because we "miss” the extinct animals. They blame human exploitation (such as trapping, hunting, habitat destruction ) of the ex.tinct animals, but their plans, though they sound exciting, are exploitation in another form.Considering the imperfect science of cloning, de - extinction would cause animals suffering. Most animals born of such experiments would suffer serious diseases, dying soon after birth or having a shortened lifetime. Spanish and French scientists worked for years to bring the Pyrenean ibex, a species of wild goat, back from extinction by cloning. In 2023, they succeeded only in producing a sick baby goat that died 10 minutes after birth. For these animals to be born, other animals would live in captivity, in a lab or elsewhere,and serve as mother substitutes (代用 品),routinely having operations as part of the cloning process. For example, elephants would be kept in captivity to carry woolly mammoth (猛才马) babies for nearly two years. Such experiments often lead to other animals5 unhappiness as well.If extinct animals are successfully brought back, where would they go? Their original habitats have developed and changed without them. They are unlikely to survive in the natural environment, but, if they do manage to survive, they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways, presenting a new threat to the ecological system. If the animals born through de - extinction are stuck in zoos and museums instead, what good is that? It is exploitation, not a solution.It wo.uld be better to apply creative thinking about protection to the real-life problems of today's world. Deextinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals. Discussions about woolly mammoth cloning do nothing to stop the illegal killings of endangered wild African elephants. Money would be better used to prevent human conflict with wildlife and their ecosystems.Let' s keep de-extinction in the world of science fiction, learn from our failed past, and protect wild animals and their habitats for the future.语篇解读本文为一篇争论文。通过克隆或基因工程使已经灭 亡的动物“复活”引起了一些科学家的爱好,但这种做法对于现存的 动物及生态环境等不确定有利。4. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refers toA. de-extinctionB. cloning or genetic engineeringC. exploitationD. National Geographic Magazine解析:词义揣测题。依据第一段第一句可知“de-extinction” 指的是“通过克隆或基因工程使已灭亡的动物重生”。再结合第三句 (支持者们说他们这么做是出于道德),由此可见画线的it指的就是 "de-extinction”,故答案为 A 项。答案:A5. In Paragraph 2, examples are given to show that .A. modern elephants are related to woolly mammothB. scientists should improve the cloning processC. de-extinction does harm to some animalsD. it's possible to bring back extinct animals解析:推理推断题。其次段的主题句为第一句话,即Considering the imperfect science of cloning, de-extinction would cause animals suffering.然后作者用举例的方法说明白这一道理,由此可 见本题答案为C项。答案:C6. What might happen if extinct animals come back to thewild?A. The problem of extinction will be solved.B. They will live in their original habitats.C. The balance of nature may be disturbed.D. More endangered animals will be saved.解析:细微环节理解题。依据第三段中的“if they do manage to survive, they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways, presenting a new threat to the ecological system”(假 如它们真的生存下来了,它们会以不行预知的方式影响它们的生存环 境,从而对生态系统造成一个新的威逼)可知答案为c项。答案:C7. According to Paragraph 4, de-extinction may A. prevent the illegal killings of African elephantsB. make people care less about endangered animalsC. prevent the conflict between humans and animalsD. raise public awareness of protecting animals解析:细微环节理解题。依据第四段中的"De-extinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals."可知答案为B项。答案:Bn.阅读七选五Everyone makes mistakes. 1 Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious.

He takes 15 faithfully, and it 16 works out.Working around tugboats, where so much depends on17, has had its effect on what I believe.
