When you think of wildlife holidays in the UK， Scotland is probably the first destination that springs to mind， with quite a few breathtaking natural sites that offer a wonderful base to watch wildlife.

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park

It is the first national park established in Scotland. Loch Lomond at the center of the park is the largest freshwater lake in the UK. The largest land mammal （哺乳動(dòng)物） in Britain， red deer， can be found in the park. Keep an eye out as you pass through forests， woodlands and open hills.

The Isle of Staffa

The Isle of Staffa is famous for its dramatic rock formations， and for the cave known as “Fingals Cave”. Staffa provided inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn， the German musician. He visited it in 1829 and， afterwards， composed his Hebrides Overture. The island is also famous for its adorable seabirds—puffins， which are known for their vibrant beaks （鳥喙） and big personalities.

The Cairngorms National Park

The Cairngorms National Park is in northeast Scotland. With an area of 1，748 square miles， the park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains and surrounding hills， and is the largest national park in the UK as the second national park in Scotland. Over 25% of the UKs endangered species make their home in the parks ancient pine forests， among which you can find the red squirrel—the UKs only native squirrel species.

On a south?facing slope （斜坡） in northern Canada， snow rolls down from an underground disturbance. When the surface finally erupts， the head of a female polar bear comes out. Four months earlier， the bear had given birth to twins. They stayed close to her for warmth and food.

Barles life could have begun this way. Its thought that she was born and raised on the west bank of Hudson Bay in 1984. Records suggest she may have been sent to Germany in 1986 through the Manitoba Polar Bear Export Program. The program was devoted to relocating orphaned （成為孤兒的） baby bears abroad and guaranteeing them a better life. In Germany， Barle ended up with animal trainer Fredy Gafner for unknown reasons. Shortly after 1990， Gafner took his bear show to the Mexican Suarez Brothers Circus.

For 13 years， Barle and six other polar bears were forced to perform. Barle was denied not only the ability to run， swim， and climb， but also the chance to find a mate and raise young. When not performing， Barle and the other bears were kept in a truck divided into seven 64?square?foot metal cages.

Barle would likely never have been rescued had it not been for Ken and Sherri Gigliotti. In 1996， the Canadian couple took a trip to Cozumel， Mexico， where they visited the Suarez Brothers Circus. They were shocked by the polar bears conditions， so they brought home a circus program and shared it with the Winnipeg Free Press.

Soon after the Free Press story appeared， Debbie Leahy， then director of Captive Animal Rescue， began investigating the Suarez Brothers Circus. She watched the bears perform several times， and once she received a behind?the?scenes tour. During each visit， the bears were dirty. Flies were everywhere.

Leahy devoted herself to the bears rescue. Later， the Manitoba government passed the Polar Bear Protection Act， which stated that only orphaned baby bears under two years of age were eligible （有資格的） for zoo placement and zoos must satisfy strict standards.

Due to mounting pressure from interest groups， the Suarez Brothers Circus chose to abandon its seven polar bears in Puerto Rico.

4. What could be the possible purpose of Barles being sent to Germany？

A. To be trained to perform.

B. To be better taken care of.

C. To join the Suarez Brothers Circus.

D. To meet other orphaned baby bears.

5. What was Barles life like while working with the Suarez Brothers Circus？

A. She didnt get on well with other bears.

B. She was separated from her babies.

C. She had to perform in a metal cage.

D. She couldnt develop normally.

6. How did the Canadian couple rescue Barle？

A. They set up a circus program in Mexico.

B. They used the media to put the circus under pressure.

C. They persuaded the Manitoba government to renew a law.

D. They employed Debbie Leahy to carry out an investigation.

7. What does the author intend to do by writing the text？

A. To call on readers to raise polar bears.

B. To show the miserable life of circus animals.

C. To describe the new life of Barle.

D. To introduce the dramatic rescue of a polar bear.

Dolphins are not fish， but warm?blooded animals. They live in groups， and speak to each other in their own language. In this way， they are like other animals， such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own， and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals， dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make different sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds， but the lower part of the mouth， called jaw.

Strangely， dolphins seem to like man， and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.

There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand， they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903， Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then， in 1903， a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.

Today， some people continue to kill dolphins， but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

8. In what way are dolphins different from many other land animals？

A. They live in groups.

B. They have a long lifespan.

C. They are warm?blooded.

D. They have their own language.

9. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack？

A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.

B. They enjoyed playing with him.

C. He was seriously wounded.

D. They wanted his help.

10. What did the author want to show by telling the story of Jack？

A. Dolphins are friendly and clever.

B. People are cruel to animals.

C. Jack is different from other dolphins.

D. Dolphins should be protected by law.

11. What is the main idea of this text？

A. Dolphins are endangered.

B. Dolphins are different from other animals.

C. Sailors should protect dolphins.

D. Some countries passed laws to protect dolphins.

D

Its been discovered that the worlds rarest seal （海豹） uses hidden caves on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to breed out of sight from humans. Scientists say the caves should now be protected to help the rare Mediterranean monk seals.

Researchers from the University of Exeter and the Society for the Protection of Turtles （SPOT）， set up cameras in eight caves in northern Cyprus to monitor the monk seals population.

The cameras are started by movement， so they start recording when something passes by. Between 2016 and 2019， the researchers found that three of the caves were used for breeding. One monk seal raised babies three years in a row in the same cave.

There are only around 700 Mediterranean monk seals left in the wild and the species is listed as endangered. In the past， they used beaches along the north coast of Cyprus to breed， but human activities such as tourism have gradually forced them to move elsewhere. In 2007， a survey identified 39 possible breeding caves. It was only in 2013， however， that a young seal was spotted in the area around the caves. This confirmation that seals were breeding in the area inspired the team to set up their special cameras in 2016. Knowing about these breeding caves will help experts to track the seal population more accurately.

The researchers now want to give the seals in the area better protection. Theyre hoping to make arrangements with local fishermen who set their fishing nets near the caves， which not only takes food from the seals but also risks catching the animals by mistake. The scientists would also like to protect the caves themselves from any nearby building developments. “The main breeding site we identify in this study currently has no protected status， and we are working with local authorities to try to change this，” said Dr Robin Snape of the University of Exeter.

12. Why do the seals breed in caves？

A. To save energy.

B. To avoid human activities.

C. To get food.

D. To adapt to weather change.

13. What encourages the researchers to set up cameras？

A. Hidden caves in Cyprus.

B. Support from local authorities.

C. The fact of the seals breeding in the area.

D. Building developments near beaches.

14. What can we learn from the last paragraph？

A. It talks about worries about the seals.

B. It tells us the publics expectations.

C. The researchers and scientists are trying to find ways to protect the seals.

D. The daily activities of fishermen are protected.

15. What can we know about the seals according to the text？

A. The seals use caves to breed without being found by humans.

B. Cameras are used in 700 caves to monitor the seals population.

C. Local fishermen may have caught the seals by mistake.

D. The local authorities are taking action to protect the seals.

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

The bus ran along the winding mountain road. Trying not to look at the road， I stared out of the large window at the tropical greenery （綠色植物） that covered the mountain.

Next to me， my mother was as absorbed by the view as I was. She had won the trip to Costa Rica as an award for her high performance at her job. She had decided to take me with her so that we could have some “girl time” together in a new place， and I couldnt be happier to be in such a beautiful place.

Our bus came to a small parking lot surrounded by forest. Our guide had told the tour group that it was a cloud forest we were visiting. People started to rise from their seats and moved towards the door. My mom and I picked up our bags and started down the narrow passage， excited to finally get to go on a hike after the hour?long bus ride.

When the entire group had gathered outside， the guide smiled at us. “We are standing on the top of an active volcano，” he said. “You have the opportunity to explore without a guide. There are two paths you can follow when we get into the woods： the first is a shorter loop （環(huán)線） and will take you back here in forty minutes or so; the second will take you a longer way， and you should be back here in an hour and twenty minutes. The longer loop is very steep， but certainly doable. All of you should be back here in two hours， which should give you plenty of time to admire the beautiful wildlife of Costa Rica！ Go ahead and get started！”

Mom looked at me uncertainly. “I assume you would like to do the longer loop，” she said after a moment. I nodded. We only had five days here， and I wanted to see as much as I could during that time. Mom finally agreed.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

Paragraph 1：

We set out on the trail that led further into the dark cloud forest.

Paragraph 2：

Gradually， both of us realized the road got steeper and steeper.
