W：Thanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays.It is a day for expressing thanks for all the good things in life.It is also a day for family reunions.On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families.
But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family.Today we'll introduce a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take time out to visit their parents, their uncles and aunts one year.They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members.But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families.So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their “extended family”．This included people in their community.
The group has grown over the years.To accommodate all the guests, Mr.and Mrs.Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room.At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children.Now some of the first guests are grandparents.They often bring their grandchildren.
Like many other Americans, Mr.and Mrs.Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking.The traditional meal usually includes a turkey.Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pies.

Australia
Explore Queensland, Australia, while also supporting a registered charity that rescues farm animals from abuse, neglect, and situations where they're in danger.Participants help with daily cleaning of barns(牲口圈) and cages, feeding, health checks, light repair, monitoring animals' movements, and intensive care of ill, old and baby animals.The experience includes free accommodations with WiFi and a swimming pool.
Romania
Work with bears at Romania's largest bear sanctuary(庇护所), a place that was created as a heaven for bears that have been abused.Located in the Carpathian Mountains, the sanctuary needs volunteers to help with preparing food, monitoring animal well-being and leading conservation tours.The sanctuary is home to 84 bears, with 20 more due to be rescued.

(2024·廊坊高一检测)
The US Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS) announced that six red wolf pups had been born in the wild in 2022.That's great news for endangered red wolves and marks the first time these pups have been born in the wild since 2018.Since only 15 to 17 red wolves are still living in the wild, having six new wild-born pups is a huge deal.
Long ago, red wolves lived all through the US Southeast.But as the wolves were hunted, and as more and more land was taken over for cities, roads and farms, the wolves began to die out.
In 1973, a new law called the Endangered Species Act was passed.It was designed to protect animals that were in danger of dying out, like red wolves.At the time, there were only about 17 red wolves remaining in the wild.
Fourteen of those wolves were caught and kept in captivity(圈养) to protect them.The program was called the Red Wolf Recovery Program and led by FWS.By 1980, red wolves were believed to be extinct in the wild.
Luckily, the wolves did well in captivity, and their numbers continued to grow.Soon, the FWS began releasing(放生) red wolves back into the wild.Between 1987 and 1994, the recovery program released 60 adult red wolves.
Over time, those wolves spread out, paired up, and began to have pups.In 2008, there were 47 wild pups born.By 2012, red wolf numbers had hit a new high point of about 120 wolves in the wild.
Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again.Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars.As the number of adults fell, the number of pups being born also began to drop.In 2018, a total of four pups were born in the wild.In 2019, 2020 and 2021, no wild pups were born at all.So, the news that six pups were born in the wild in 2022 was a huge success.
语篇导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。处于濒危境地的美国红狼终于迎来了自2018年以来的六只幼崽的出生，这对于濒临灭绝的红狼来说的确是个好消息。
24.What is the right order for the events described in the passage？ D
①Six pups were born in the wild.
②60 red wolves were set free into the wild.
③14 red wolves were caught.
④The Endangered Species Act was passed.
A．①③②④ B．②③④①
C．③②④① D．④③②①
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句以及第四段第一句可知，1973年通过的《濒危物种法案》发生在14只红狼被抓之前；根据第五段最后一句可知，60只红狼被释放是在1987年到1994年之间；根据第一段第一句可知，六只幼崽在野外出生是在2022年。所以事件的发生顺序为④③②①。故选D。
25.What do we know about the Red Wolf Recovery Program from the passage？ B
A．It was established in 1980.
B．It is a project started by the U．S.government.
C．It aims to catch all the pure red wolves.
D．It was worthwhile but ended in failure.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句可知，红狼恢复项目的目的是保护红狼，而不是捕捉所有纯正的红狼，排除C；根据第一段第一、二句可知，红狼恢复项目很有意义而且最终是成功的，排除D；根据第四段最后一句可知该项目并不是始于1980年，所以排除A。该项目由FWS领导，而FWS属于美国的鱼类和野生动物管理局，所以红狼恢复项目是由美国政府发起的。故选B。
26.Why did the number of red wolves become smaller after 2012？ C
A．Most of them were killed by other animals.
B．Their habitat was destroyed.
C．Some wolves were shot or died in accidents.
D．They were caught by humans.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again.Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars.”可知，2012年以后红狼数量下降的原因是有一些红狼被猎杀或在事故中丧命。故选C。
27.What is the passage mainly about？ A
A．Endangered red wolf pups born in the wild.
B．Laws made to protect wild-born red wolf pups.
C．Reasons why red wolves are endangered.
D．The importance of protecting wild red wolves.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段内容可知，该段统领全文，点明六只红狼幼崽的出生是一个标志性的事件；最后一段最后一句“So, the news that six pups were born in the wild in 2022 was a huge success.”可知，作者在此处重申第一段的六只野生红狼幼崽出生是一件大事，文章其他段落主要介绍美国鱼类和野生动物管理局为恢复红狼数量所做出的努力。综合全文信息可推知，文章主要是在讲濒危的野生红狼以及幼崽的出生，所以A项最能概括文章大意。故选A。
C
Cuckoos(布谷鸟) are masters of cheating.When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children.Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds.They don't raise their own young.Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times.When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest.Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host's eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have grey or brown backs.When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker.Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents, but still continues to receive food from them.
The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for.This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest.It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest.Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in colour to their main hosts'.This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked.Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了布谷鸟总是将自己的蛋产在其他鸟类的巢里，从而让其他鸟类为自己养育幼鸟。
28.What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young？ C
A．Attend to eggs.
B．Build a new nest.
C．Rely on other birds.
D．Learn feeding skills.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Instead the female...thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.”可知，当谈及养育幼鸟的时候，布谷鸟总是依赖其他鸟类。故选C。
29.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to？ C
A．Other cuckoos. B．Baby cuckoos.
C．Its host parents. D．Its birth parents.
解析：代词指代题。根据画线单词所在句可知，布谷鸟幼鸟仍能从养父母那里获得食物。所以画线单词them指的是“养父母”。故选C。
30.What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter？ A
A．It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.
B．It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother's help.
C．It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.
D．It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The cuckoo imposter...one by one over the edge of the nest.”可知，当布谷鸟孵化出来的时候，其他蛋还处于孵化状态。因此可推断，布谷鸟比鸟巢中其他鸟类孵化的要早。故选A。
31.Which can be the best title for the text？ A
A．How Cuckoos Fool Other Birds
B．How Cuckoos Protect Their Children

There's nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to.July 30 is the International Day of Friendship.Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know.And while we're talking about friends, don't think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship.Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon(东非狒狒) can be friends It sounds strange, but it's true.You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa.This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would.The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty.In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near.It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it's time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish and the shrimp(虾虎鱼和虾) are well-known for their friendship.While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp.You see, the goby has great eyesight(视力) and stays close to the shrimp.As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna(须) from time to time to make sure it's still there.If the goby senses danger, it will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer(花鹿)．While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground.This is good for the deer because sometimes there's not much food.The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped.And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.

To mark their hard work and contribution to wildlife protection in the reserve, last year, Shi's 20-member team was recognized with a special award(奖) at an online award ceremony for the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas' International Ranger Awards.
Kathy MacKinnon, head of the commission(委员会), speaks highly of their work, saying that they are “important to our global conservation efforts, helping to stop biodiversity loss and protect the important ecosystems that serve as natural solutions to climate(气候) change and other global challenges”．
Shi realizes that through protecting endangered animals, like giant pandas and snow leopards, the rich biodiversity of the environment can also be kept, which is a win-win situation.
After graduation from Sichuan Forestry School(now Sichuan Agricultural University) in 1992, Shi became a forest guardian at the Wolong National Nature Reserve.
Established in 1963, Wolong is the country's earliest panda reserve.It experienced serious human-animal conflict, such as illegal logging and hunting before the 1990s.In 1978, an observation tent, claimed to be the country's first field camp to study wild giant pandas, was built on a steep forested slope in the reserve.
In the early 1980s, the government cooperated with the World Wide Fund for Nature to establish the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda to save the endangered animals.
At the very beginning, it was really difficult for rangers.With no proper outdoor equipment, like protective jackets or sleeping bags, every time, going around the area could be a life-threatening adventure.Plastic woven bags were commonly used for warmth and as makeshift tents for emergency cases.For Shi, the real challenges are natural disasters, which cannot be predicted.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
He has a clear memory of a snowslide in June 2017 during a routine inspection(例行检查).
There is a lot of hard work relating to protecting wildlife, but there are also some surprises from the job.
参考范文：
He has a clear memory of a snowslide in June 2017 during a routine inspection(例行检查)．“We were about to climb over a 400-meter-long mountain pass, about 5,500 meters high in altitude, which was the most dangerous place for us with snow depth on the ground reaching up to two meters and the wind blowing heavily, ” Shi says.Suddenly Shi heard thundering sounds and a mass of snow came rolling down the mountain.Quickly throwing himself at the rock and grabbing onto it, Shi survived but was injured.
There is a lot of hard work relating to protecting wildlife, but there are also some surprises from the job.Shi has a soft spot for giant pandas.Although he has inspected the reserve for three decades, he has only met the pandas twice.In order to record videos of the wild giant pandas in the reserve, they searched for them for several days in the forest, but didn't spot one.When they were about to give up, there was a sound from the bamboo forest behind, and they turned around and saw a fat panda about six meters away, hiding in the woods.It ran quickly.It was funny to see a group of people chasing the panda in the wild.The scene is just like hide-and-seek which will never be forgotten.
