1. The crime took place in a seaside suburb of Cape Town. Spotting the car with its window left open, the greedy thief didn't hesitate. Within seconds. he had reached inside and run away with a bag of shopping. No matter how many crimes he committed, the police were powerless to arrest him. You see, this was no ordinary criminal, it was a chacma baboon. Once almost unheard of, scenes like this one in Cape Town are now common all over the world. With foxes in London, mountain lions狮子 in San Francisco and wild pigs野猪 in Hong Kong: it is almost as if our cities are being taken over占领 by wild animals.

2. Which is not mentioned about wild animals migrating to a city
A. urban development.
B. climate changes.
C. habitat loss.
D. people’s hunting in their natural habitat.
2. People often wonder about the reasons behind this mass大规模的 urban migration城市迁徙. Most of us would assume认为 that urban development and climate change are responsible for pushing the animals out of their natural habitats栖息地. However true this is，we also need to consider that some of these so-called “urban animals” have never moved at all—it's we humans who have moved into their territory领土. Wherever they go, animals find towns and cities in their way妨碍. With nowhere else to make their homes, they have no choice but to move in with us.
2. Which is not mentioned about wild animals migrating to a city
A. urban development.
B. climate changes.
C. habitat loss.
D. people’s hunting in their natural habitat.
3.Which is not the benefit the city can offer
A. The wild inhabitants栖息动物 can get away from their natural enemies.
B. The city can provide attractive spaces.
C.The wild inhabitants can find more food.
D. The wild inhabitants can see many human beings in the city.
3.Yet, for its newest and wildest inhabitants栖息动物, a city can offer man benefits好处. As our cities become greener, they offer increasingly appealing有吸引力的 spaces空间 to animals looking for new habitats栖息地. Out of reach from远离 many of their natural predators天敌, these newcomers often flourish蓬勃发展 in their new city lives. Today, foxes can be seen all over London—one even being found living on the 72nd floor of the Shard building when it was under construction! What's more, hungry animals are finding plenty to eat in our gardens and in the leftovers残存物 we throw away.

A. The wild inhabitants栖息动物 can get away from their natural enemies.
B. The city can provide attractive spaces.
C.The wild inhabitants can find more food.
D. The wild inhabitants can see many human beings in the city.
4. What can we learm from the passage
A. The urban racoons浣熊 are not more intelligent than their wild cousins.
B. The foxes in the wild are more active at night than in daylight.
C. All the foxes in the city didn’t change their living habits.
D. Recent studies estimate估计 that between 400 million and 1billion birds die from window impacts these years in the US alone.
4.One thing crucial to the increasing number of "urban animals" is their ability to adapt. There is evidence that urban racoons are more intelligent than their wild cousins, as they frequently have to figure out difficult problems such as how to open rubbish bins and other containers which they would not find in the wild.Some animals have even changed their living habits to fit in with their new homes. Although naturally active at night, urban foxes come out in daylight if the reward is good enough. Their city location also means that they are getting a taste for the multicultural cuisine on offer from the garbage, such as hamburgers, lamb kebabs and even garlic bread!

5.Which can replace the word“distinguish”in the paragraph5
A. adapt.
B. confuse.
C. migrate.
D. tell the difference.
5. For those animals that don't adapt， the city can be a dangerous or even deadly place. Unable to distinguish between blue sky and glass, birds crash into撞向 windows at speeds of about 50 kilometres per hour. Recent studies estimate that between 400 million and 1 billion birds die from window impacts each year in the US alone. Shockingly, these deaths amount to around ten per cent of the total US bird population. Some species are more affected than others. One theory behind this is that these birds have yet to change their migratory routes that take them through cities with high-rise buildings.

6. However they adapt to our ways of urban living, it's important that we get a better understanding of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbors. Only then can we look towards harmoniously sharing our urban habitats. Whatever the reasons behind these species entering our cities, one thing is for sure-as it's often a means of their survival, they could be with us to stay.

A week before Earth Day, posters were put up around our school, calling upon us to join in the actions for a greener earth.
Our class came up with the idea to make better use of used materials. We brought to our classroom worn-out clothes, pieces of cardboard and empty plastic bottles and turned those into dolls, handbags, tissue boxes and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave them away to the people there. All were very happy with those unexpected gifts, especially little kids and elderly people. We did so well that we were invited to share our idea and experience with all the students of our school.
We are very proud of ourselves and believe we can do more for a better world.
