Question

【題目】 Can we give a hand to those endangered animals? Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.

1 Protect wildlife habitat (棲息地).

Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species (物種) is the widespread destruction (破壞) of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare (稀有的) species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction (滅絕). By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally.

2Reduce the threat (威脅) of invasive (入侵的) species.

The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (資源) and habitat. They can even prey (捕食) on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.

3 Place decals (貼花紙) on windows.

It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.

4 Slow down when driving.

Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障礙) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant (不斷的) risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.

【1】Is the greatest threat that endangered animals faces created by roads?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】No. / No, it isn’t.

【2】4/Four/Four ways.

【3】To avoid birds hitting the windows by mistakes./To stop birds form hitting the windows.

【4】Yes, I think so. Because animals are people’s friends. To protect animals is to protect ourselves.

No, I don’t think so. Because only those animals that are stronger enough can survive or live in different environments.

【解析】

本文主要講述了如何保護野生動物。作者就自己的見解提出了四種保護野生物種的方法：1.保護野生動物棲息地。2.減少入侵物種的威脅。3.在玻璃上貼花紙。4.慢點開車。

【1】根據(jù)“Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species (物種) is the widespread destruction (破壞) of habitat.”可知動物面臨最大的威脅是棲息地的大面積破壞，而不是因為道路；此句為一般疑問句，故回答用No. / No, it isn’t.。故填No. / No, it isn’t.

【2】根據(jù)文章中的小標(biāo)題“1. Protect wildlife habitat (棲息地). 2. Reduce the threat (威脅) of invasive (入侵的) species. 3. Place decals (貼花紙) on windows. 4. Slow down when driving.”可知作者提出了四種保護野生物種的方法。故填 4/Four/Four ways.

【3】根據(jù)“You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.”可知貼窗戶紙是為了防止鳥撞擊玻璃。故填To avoid birds hitting the windows by mistakes./To stop birds form hitting the windows.

【4】本題是主觀題，表達你對是否保護瀕危動物的看法，只要言之有理即可。故可填Yes, I think so. Because animals are people’s friends. To protect animals is to protect ourselves./ No, I don’t think so. Because only those animals that are stronger enough can survive or live in different environments.
