课时作业(九)[必修2Unit 4 Wildlife protection](限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe secret of carrier pigeons' unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by scientists; the feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do.Scientists now believe the phrase “as the crow flies” no longer means the shortest most direct route between two points.They say it is likely that crows and other birds also choose AA-suggested routes, even though it makes their journeys longer.Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite(GPS) and got a surprising result.The birds often don't use the sun to decide their directions.Instead they fly along motorways, turn at crossing and even go around roundabouts(绕道), adding miles to their journeys.“It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade­long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts(本能) and follow the road system，”said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behaviour at Oxford University's Department of Zoology.Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system(导航系统) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.“But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work，” said Guilford.“In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road.They are just making their journey as simple as possible.”1．What would be the best title of the passage?A．How pigeons find their ways homeB．Why pigeons can fly the long distanceC．Birds follow roads as we doD．Why crows fly the shortest distance2．Scientists used to think that homing pigeons often find their directions________．A．by global positioning satelliteB．by the sunC．by the road systemD．by following other birds3．Why do homing pigeons tend to follow the road system during their journey?A．Because they don't have their inbuilt directional instincts now.B．Because their own navigational system doesn't work.C．Because it is too hard to use their own navigational system.D．Because it is easier to make journey simple by following the road system.BAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998.Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago，the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book，One Chicago” program.As a result，reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem came up in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately，as Nancy points out，the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word．4．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A．To invite authors to guide readers.B．To encourage people to read and share.C．To involve people in community service.D．To promote the friendship between cities.5．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A．They were too busy to read a book.B．They

Unit 4 Wildlife protection课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2024·沈阳市高三教学质量检测)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 of these ecologically important creatures in the 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(非法交易)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(哺乳动物)—pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in touch 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 downthe demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day(Marcia 3)by spreading the e social media and tell everyone that now it is 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.【语篇解读】由于人们的捕猎，一些物种面临灭亡。
