Although similar in appearance to hyenas(土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canine(犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.

They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy（统团） exists within the group,　 but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the infirm（体弱的） are given special privileges within the group.

African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.

Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog's habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution（迫害） have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic .dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog's natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion（干扰）．

The world’s African elephants are in serious danger. 1. And if we do nothing to put an end to the illegal ivory trade, elephants will be extinct from the wild within the next 20 years.

Many believe that an illegal hunter could get ivory without killing the elephant-this is not true. 2. And the rest lies beneath the surface like an iceberg（冰山）in water. The tusk is not just bone but rather it is alive, filled with nerves and blood vessels（血管）and when broken off, the tusks would likely become infected and lead to a slow and　 painful death.

However, there is a new form of hope rising from nature itself. African elephants are being born without the tusks that illegal hunters have targeted for decades. But why is the largest land mammal on earth now being born tuskless?3.

Is such change beneficial to elephants’ survival in the long term? As we know, elephant tusks ate not just glorious-looking. 4. Therefore scientists are just benspecies.to track the newly tuskless among them, to see how this unfortunate adaptation affects the species.

Ivory hunters are not the only danger faced by elephants today. And more support is needed than ever to create a safe world where elephants can live together with humans happily, tusks and all.5..

A. Action should be taken to protect animals in the world.

B. They also have important uses such as self- defense and digging.

C. Only two-thirds of an elephant’s tusks（象牙）stick out of their mouth.

D. It is estimated that one is killed every 15 minutes for their ivory tusks.

E. That’s because elephants without tusks have a better chance of surviving.

F. After centuries of being hunted by humans, many African elephants are tuskless.

G. And it’s in our power to make this happen by cutting demand and raising awareness.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish, French, and German. So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?

English doesn’t necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音) or vowel(元音) sounds than other languages, but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners. There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation. There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound ( like “th” ) when combined. The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.

Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense. Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense, sometimes just present and past, which makes it relatively simple to grasp. English, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult in this area. For example, in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present, past, future, past perfect or present perfect. The verb “choose” can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose, chose or chosen. This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp.

Slang(俚语) is more widely used in American English than proper grammar. In the US just knowing the language as it’s generally taught isn’t enough. In every single region or even close neighborhoods, the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language. In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn’t even be found in the Webster’s Dictionary. They are created by locals and only locals understand them. This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it, especially if they don’t remain in one area for a very long period.

1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A. tell us how to deal with slang terms in English

B. encourage us to speak formal English

C. tell us why English is very difficult to learn

D. give advice on how to learn English well

2.According to the passage, the letter “c” in English ________.

A. is often silent

B. has at least two sounds

C. never takes on an “s” sound

D. is always stressed

3.Compared with other languages, ________.

A. English has very limited changes in verb tense

B. English has relatively simple verb tense to grasp

C. English has more forms of verbs according to the tense

D. English has three more verb tenses

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. pronunciation is the most difficult thing in English learning

B. all the slang terms should be added to the Webster’s Dictionary

C. if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms

D. people may understand the local language after living in a place for years

Most laws in the United States and Canada are similar to laws in other countries. For example, it is against the law everywhere to murder a person, and it is illegal to steal money. Everyone knows these laws, but foreign students or tourists in a new country may not know some of the local laws. For instance, a legal action in Peru may be against the law in Korea, and an illegal activity in an Asian city may be perfectly legal in a European city. On the other hand, laws may be the same in various countries but vary in different cities or states of the same nation.

In many cities in the United States, for instance, it is not legal to “jaywalk.” This law may seem strange to visitors. Sometimes they cross a street, and a police officer gives them a ticket. Then they need to pay a fine of $10 to $25. They soon learn to cross a street only in a crosswalk or at a corner. It’s against the law to cross in the middle of the street.

Most people know that states in the United States have different laws about the legal drinking age; this age varies, but in most states no one under twenty-one can buy alcohol, even beer or wine. Also, in most U.S. cities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Of course, liquor is legal in restaurants and bars, but it’s against the law to drink a can of beer, for instance, on a public street. Some people put the can in a paper bag and drink; nobody can see the beer, but it still isn’t legal. In addition, it is illegal to have an open liquor bottle inside a car.

1. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.

2.The word “jaywalk” underlined in the second paragraph most probably means ______.

3. Which of the following is legal in the United States?
