　　With his unique black mane (鬃毛)and impressive stature(身材), 13-year-old Cecil was a popular tourist attraction at the 3.6 million-square-acre Hwange National Park(萬基國家公園) in Zimbabwe (津巴布韋).

　　Cecil was head of a pride of lions that includes 12 cubs(幼崽), but the well-known lion was shot and killed in early July by American dentist Walter J. Palmer.

　　Cecil’s death has already sparked an international outcry (強烈抗議) with many calling for an end to hunting endangered animals and for Palmer to be extradited(引渡) to Zimbabwe to stand trial.

　　Professor David Macdonald, the head of the Oxford University research program that monitored the daily movements of Cecil and dozens of other lions, is deeply saddened by Cecil’s death. Macdonald hopes the death can inspire the public to take an interest in lion conservation.

　　Macdonald says many of the lions tracked by the program have been shot

　　and killed. “The background to this story is that there is a crisis for lions throughout much of Africa.” He says.

　　African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades, and as few as 32,000 of them remain in the wild, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare(國際愛護動物基金會).

　　“And as troubling as it

　　is, the rarer these hunted animals become, the more hunter s are willing to pay to kill them,” said Jeff Flockedn, the fund’s North American regional director.

　　In addition to excessive hunting, lions throughout Africa also continue to face threats that include conflicts with local farmers, loss of habitat and risk of traffic and railway collisions(碰撞).

　　1. Internationally, people’s attitude towards Walter J. Palmer’s behavior is ________.

　　A. Understandable

　　B. Unpardonable

　　C. Unpredictable

　　D. Uncontrollable

　　2. According to the text, how many African lions lived in the wild thirty years ago?

　　A. 80,000

　　B. 48,000

　　C. 53,000

　　D. 60,000

　　3. African lions are facing the following threats except ________.

　　A. their conflicts with local farmers.

　　B. the loss of their habitats

　　C. people’s excessive hunting

　　D. the increase in the number of their natural enemies

　　4. The best title of the text might be ________.

　　A. The Death of Cecil-an African Lion

　　AB. The Current state of All African Lions

　　C. The Threats Facing African Lions

　　D. The Appeal for an End to Hunting Endangered Animals

　　【參考答案】

　　1. B. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段的內(nèi)容可知，從國際上來看，人們對于Walter J. Palmer射殺了獅子Cecil的做法很是憤怒。即人們認為他的做法是不可饒恕的。故正確答案應(yīng)為B項。

　　2. A. 數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)第六段中的信息“African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades,…”，可知，在剛剛過去的30年里，非洲獅的數(shù)量減少了60%，現(xiàn)在僅有32,000頭非洲獅生活在野外，由此可以推斷，三十年前生活在野外的非洲獅的數(shù)量為：32,000 / (1-0.6)= 80,000。故正確答案為A項。

　　3. D. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段內(nèi)容可知，答案應(yīng)為D項。即文中沒有提到非洲獅面臨的威脅中沒有提到非洲獅天敵數(shù)量的增加。

　　. A. 標題判斷題。全文主要介紹了美國牙醫(yī)華特帕爾默(Walter Palmer)7月底在津巴布韋射殺了獅子塞西爾，當時引起了全世界的憤怒， 同時介紹了目前非洲獅的生活狀況。所以，A項作為標題最佳。

　　(2024·河南省普通高中畢業(yè)班適應(yīng)性測試)Is geography important? Here's a question for you to answer.

　　What have the following countries got in common: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Madagascar?

　　Quite easy if you can picture them on the globe — they are all islands. All of these nations are surrounded by sea.

　　What have these five nations got in common? Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein. They are all landlocked. In other words, in contrast to the first five countries whose coastline forms their border, the second five have no

　　coastline at all. If you are a Hungarian or a Paraguayan, you have to pass through somebody else's country if you want to go to the beach.

　　Liechtenstein is even more of a geographical phenomenon; it is “doubly landlocked” because the countries that surround it — Austria and Switzerland are also landlocked. There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by five other landlocked countries. Go and have a look at the map if you want to know which.

　　So how do countries become landlocked? If you are Swiss or Nepalese, you have probably never thought things could be any other way. Switzerland's mountains, like the Himalayas, have formed a natural boundary for thousands of years. But there are borders. Where one country ends and another begins is not something that is fixed for all time.

　　There are countries like Ethiopia and Bolivia which did have a bit of coast but don't any more. Does it matter? The Ethiopians are not happy that the creation of Eritrea means they now have to use another country's port, when before they had a long coastline on the Red Sea.

　　But why does coastline matter so much? Throughout history people have preferred to live near the sea, and not just for the fish. Sea means trade, which means wealth. Think of the great successful cities like Singapore, New York or Hong Kong today. Russia has fought several wars over the centuries so that its ships could have access to the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Pacific.

　　Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

　　Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

　　After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

　　Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

　　Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

　　1.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

　　文章大意：本文用倒敘的手法敘述了著名的潛水員Larry的潛水經(jīng)歷，以及他帶著女兒繼續(xù)家庭的傳統(tǒng)繼續(xù)潛水的故事。

　　1. D。推理題。根據(jù)文章1,2行Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him.可知這次潛水最大的不同是Larry會帶著他的女兒一起下水。故D正確。

　　3. A。推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段后2行Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.

　　4. D。推理題。根據(jù)本句. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.他甚至不再的自己曾經(jīng)到過多少水下的地方，不知道之間潛水了多長時間，不知道自己拍攝了多少照片。可知他很享受自己的水下探險，到了忘我的境界。故D正確。
