参考答案
1.答案：1.D; 2.B; 3.C; 4.A; 5.C; 6.B; 7.A; 8.B; 9.D; 10.D; 11.C; 12.A; 13.D; 14.C; 15.D; 16.B; 17.B; 18.C; 19.A; 20.A
解析：这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是，有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过努力，帮助一只名叫Emma的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。
1.根据第一句"Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age"和最后一句提到的"…the species from going out of existence"可以推知,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝,即:"消失"。D选项正确。
2.前文提到每天都有物种消失,那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种,使它们免于灭绝。故B选项正确。
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,由此推知,该处应指Chris和Tim帮助濒危物种繁殖,增加它们的数量,这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指"繁殖",C选项正确。
4.自从2004年,Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的"human caretaker"呼应。故选A。
情人节送男朋友
5.根据空后的"human caretakers"可知,caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指:出生在一个国际鹤基地,Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。
6.根据空后的though(尽管)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"但是这导致了出乎意料的结果"。B选项正确。
7.根据下文中的"become deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them"等内容可知,因为Emma一直由人类照看,所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤,而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。
8.根据上文,Emma不把自己当作鹤,所以它"拒绝"和雄鹤生活在一起。B选项正确。
9.根据even(甚至)这个递进关系可知,Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起,而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而"臭名昭著"。故D选项正确。
10.Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,这当然使得她"不可能"生育小鹤,成为妈妈。D选项正确。
11.上文提到Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知,上下文之间是转折关系。C选项正确。
层次结构图12.经过努力,Chris和Tim成功的将"人工繁殖"和"自然繁殖"结合在一起。A选项正确。
13.Chris和Tim成功的将"人工繁殖"和"自然繁殖"结合在一起,这使得Emma诞育了五只幼鹤。
enable sb. to do sth.意为"使……能够做某事",D选项正确。
14.根据后文的 more efforts must be made可以推知,尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲,但是他们还需要付出更多努力,因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C。assured意为"确定的,有把握的,自信的"。
15.根据becau可知,前后句之间是因果关系,根据more efforts must be made可以推知,野生白鹤数量在减少,所以,还要付出更多的努力(来挽救白鹤灭绝)。故D选项正确。
16.前文提到:野生白鹤数量正在减少,很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到,并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想,感情,以及平等生存的权利。很明显,该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。故B选项正确。after all:毕竟(用于解释和说明理由)。
17.针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象,作者提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?B选项正确。
18.前文提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?Chris和Tim的做法给我们提供了一个答案。C选项正确。
19.根据下文中的"hold all the solutions"可以推断出,人类认为自己的"大脑"掌握着所有的解决办法。即:人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。A选项正确。
20.根据转折词but可以推知,人类想当然的认为自己的"大脑"掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可以用"心"更好地"引领"他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。
