高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

In the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion for centuries．And nowhere more so than in Thailand．Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）．The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background．To the early Western visitors, the country's romantic name was“ Land of the White Elephant"．

Today, however, the story is very different．Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it．The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part．And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage．

How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves．According to Richard Lair, Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country．

In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated（估计）that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen．

This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest---a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people．Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants．

By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13, 397．However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another l,350 wandering free in the national parks．But now, Thailand's forest covers only 20 percent of the land．This deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work．This century, as the road network grew, the elephant's role as a beast of burden decreased．

1.What can we know about African elephants from the passage?

A. It is of little value to domesticate them．

B. It is hard to domesticate them．

C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants

D. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants．

2.Thailand was once called "Land of the White Elephant" because ________．

A. white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s

B. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very special

C. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling power

D. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors

3.Why is the Thai elephant "out of work", according to the author?

A. Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs．

B. Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer．

C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem．

D. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners．

4.The passage is most probably from ________．

A. a travel guide　　 B. a history book

C. a popular science magazine　　 D. an official announcement

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Pretoria．South Africa—Hundreds 0f swimmers Play in the water along a South African beach．Suddenly a huge shark appears offshore and heads for the bathers．Before it can get close to the swimmers，the shark，for some mysterious reason，starts swimming parallel to the beach．Then it turns away from shore and heads out to sea，leaving the swimmers untouched．

Such a scene will soon become common along shark infested（鲨鱼出没）shores．An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels（击退）sharks by controlling their movements．Confused by this action，the sharks end up turning away from the beach．

In this unusual shark repellent method，an insulated（绝缘）cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach from which people swim．When an electric current is sent though the cable，an electric field is produced in the water above the cable．

When the shark swims into the electric field，nerve cells just below the shark’s skin detect the field．The electricity produces a reflex（反射）action in the shark’s muscles，causing the dangerous animal with sharp teeth to swim parallel to the cable．Contused by increasing loss of control of its muscles，the shark suddenly changes its direction and heads seaward，away from the electric field．

In a test of the invisible new shark-repellent system，a cable was placed around a beach in St．Lucia an island in the tropics．A protective net，which had been installed around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks from swimmers，was left in place during the experiment．

When the electric field was 1eft on for more than a year and a half，no sharks were found in the nets．However,when the power was turned off，89 sharks ended up in the nets．

Using the electric wall method instead of nets to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks，say biologists．Currently，thousands of sharks die each year when they become trapped in protective nets that surround holiday resorts in Africa and Australia．About 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks annually．

1.In the first passage，why doesn’t the shark attack the swimmers？

A．Because they are many swimmers in the water．

B．Because the shark doesn’t want to eat the swimmers。

C．Because of some mysterious reason from the God．

D．Because there is an invisible electric field confusing the shark．

2.An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed________．

A．A protective net                     B．A new shark-repellent system

C．The electric field                       D．An insulated cable

3.An electric field is produced in the water above the cable ________．

A．only when the shark swims into the electric field

B．an insulated cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach from which people

swim

C．only when an electric current is sent though the cable

D．only when the sharks are trapped in protective nets

4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Protective nets had been installed around the beach earlier than the new shark repellent system．

B．This new kind of shark repellent system wilt take place of the protective nets．

C．Thousands of sharks die and about 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks each year in Africa and Australia since this new system was Put into use．

D．Using the electric wall method instead of nets to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks．

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

In 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.

If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking (走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles—and the world’s most trafficked mammal—pangolins (穿山甲).

Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales (鳞)，which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.

In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fueling the illegal trade.

Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.

1.How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?

A. 4.　　 B. 5.

C. 6.　　 D. 7.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A. Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.

B. Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.

C. The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.

D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.

3.What can we know about the plan released by the US?

A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.

B. Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.

C. The demand leading to the illegal trade in East Asia is to be brought down.

D. The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.

4.What is the author’s intention of writing the passage?

A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.

B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.

C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.

D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.
