小题组合(三)
一、完形填空
Wildlife
has been greatly threatened in the modem age.
There are species(
物种
)that
are 1 every
day. The white-
naped crane is a typical example. So scientists
are trying their best to 2 the species
from going out of existence.
Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping
endangered cranes with their 3 . Emma, a
female crane, has
been in their 4
since she arrived in 2004.
Born at an
international crane foundation, Emma was 5
by human caretakers. This led to an
unexpected 6 , though she had a
wonderful time there. Emma had 7 taken
herself as a crane and
become deeply
attached to humans. She 8 to live with
male cranes, and even had a 9 for killing
some of them, which made it 10
for her to become a mother.
11 ,
the two zookeepers didn't want to see the
extinction(
灭绝
) of this
precious species. With their
patience
and efforts, they successfully developed a 12
of artificial breeding(
人工繁殖
)
and natural
reproduction. This 13
Emma to give birth to five baby cranes.
The two keepers are proud of their
productive work. But before they can be 14
, more efforts
must be made, because
the population of the crane in the wild is on the
15 , and many other species
appear
headed toward extinction. 16 , not everyone
has realized that wildlife has thoughts, feelings,
and most importantly, equal rights to
survive.
How can we 17 the
ever-widening gap that separates us from other
animals? Chris and Tim
offered us the
18 : human beings took it for granted that
their 19 held all the solutions, but maybe
their hearts can be a better 20

三、短文改错
Since I
was a kid, I`ve considered different job I would
like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman,
whose uniform looked so coolly. Then,
when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a
teacher because I
liked
my
English
teacher
too
much.
When
I
studied
chemistry
high
school,
I
reconsidered
mg
goal
or
decided
to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the
decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact
that
a
sick
person
could
feel
much
more
better
after
seeing a
doctor. And
the other
is
that
I
wanted
to
help
people in need.

3.
上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种
< br>,

C
。
6.
根据空后的<
/p>
though(
尽管
)
< br>可知
,though
前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后
面提到
,
她过得很开心。
根据转折关系
,
那么前文应该表示
< br>但是这导致了出乎意料的结果
。
B
选项正确。
7.

g some of them
等内容可知
,
因为
Emm
a

,
而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选
A
。
8.
< br>根据上文
