Ⅰ.阅读理解
A recent report by the World Wildlife Fund （WWF） and the Zoological Society of London （ZSL） shows that， on average， wildlife numbers have been on the large decrease since 1970.
　　The Living Planet Index （LPI） report is released every two years by WWF and ZSL.The report tracks the best efforts of scientists to count wildlife populations around the world.The word population here means groups of the same kinds of animals （species） living in the same general area （or the size of those groups）.
　　The report doesn’t look at all wild animals， only vertebrates — animals with a backbone.These include mammals， birds， fish， reptiles， and amphibians.The report studied 5，230 species found in 31，821 populations around the world， and about half of the populations studied are dropping.
　　This year’s LPI says that， on average， wildlife populations dropped by 69% in the 48 years from 1970 to 2018.That’s a huge drop， and it’s very worrying.Marco Lambertini， who leads WWF， said， “The message is clear and the lights are flashing red.Our most comprehensive report ever on the state of global vertebrate wildlife populations presents terrifying figures： a shocking two-thirds decline in less than 50 years.”
　　The LPI isn’t reporting numbers of animals.It’s reporting the average change in the size of animal populations over time.In fact， their losses are so extreme that the average drop for all populations was 69%.
　　Central and South America and the Caribbean had the greatest population losses — a drop of 94%.Next came Africa， with a 66% drop， followed by Asia and the Pacific with a 55% drop.Europe and North America showed smaller losses.
　　Most of the losses are related to human actions.The biggest problem is the loss of wild areas to growing cities， and activities like farming and deforestation.Hunting， overfishing， and pollution are also big challenges.Climate change is a growing problem， and may soon be the biggest one.
1.How many species suffered from loss in numbers according to the report？（　　）
A.About 2，615.　　　 B.About 5，230.
C.About 15，910. D.About 31，821.
2.What did Marco Lambertini try to express in Paragraph 4？（　　）
A.His great concern. B.His deep disappointment.
C.His doubts about the report. D.His expectations for the future.
3.What is the top factor leading to wildlife population losses？（　　）
A.Climate change. B.People’s activities.
C.Environmental pollution. D.Hunting and overfishing.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text？（　　）
A.Wildlife Populations Change Over Time
B.Why Wildlife Populations Have Dropped
C.WWF Tries to Count Wildlife Populations
D.Wildlife Numbers Have Declined Sharply

【参考译文】
　　大约三年前，我遭遇了一件可怕的事情。那一天，我的身体和灵魂只用了六个小时就支离破碎了。你以为我是个很老的人，但我不是。不到一天的时间，我的头发就从黑变白了。
　　有一天，我和我的两个兄弟又去了我们经常去探险的岛屿，抓到了比其他人更多的鱼。突然，天空被乌云笼罩，刹那间，我们就被卷入了可怕的风暴中。我们的船被巨浪淹没了，我弟弟掉进了海里，我哥哥把嘴贴在我耳朵上，大喊：“Moskoe风暴！”一听到这个词，我恐惧至极，听到这个词我就明白他的意思了。
　　伴随着风浪，我们朝着旋涡的方向前进。我们非常无助。没有什么能救我们。我觉得恶心，好像在梦中从山顶上掉下来似的。我们一直旋转，越来越靠近那可怕的旋涡边缘。看起来可能很奇怪，但在那一刻，当我们在旋涡边缘的时候，我觉得自己比向它移动时更平静。我开始想，这样死去是多么令人惊奇，能看到大自然的力量是多么奇妙。突然，我们越过了边缘。我以为我的生命要结束了。但时间一分一秒地过去，我仍然是安全的。
　　船在巨大的旋涡里面，我们以极快的速度绕着圈子。我清楚地看到在旋涡里还有其他东西——树和桶。过了一会儿，我对旋涡本身产生了好奇。然后我有了三个重要的发现。第一，物体越大，下落越快；第二，在两个同等面积的物体之间，圆形物体落得更快；第三，在两个同样大小的物体之间，管状物体落得更慢。所以我把自己绑在一个桶上帮助我漂浮。我试图让我哥哥也明白，但他太害怕了，留在了那条沉重的船上。我没继续等，就跳进了海里，尝试逃走。
　　如你所见，我能在这里讲这个故事，正是因为我做了正确的决定。在我离开船后过了一会儿，那只载着我哥哥的船被卷入旋涡底部。没多久，旋涡就变得不那么疯狂了。然后天空放晴，风平静了下来，月亮在闪闪发光。我仍然跟木桶绑在一起，海浪很快把我带到了一个其他渔民居住的地方。最后，一条船上的人把我救了起来。我疲惫至极。那些渔夫是我的老朋友，但他们已经认不出我了。当我告诉他们我的故事时，他们并不相信。现在故事讲完了，我并不指望你能比那些渔民更相信我。

【参考译文】
　　大约三年前，我遭遇了一件可怕的事情。那一天，我的身体和灵
魂只用了六个小时就支离破碎了。你以为我是个很老的人，但我不
是。不到一天的时间，我的头发就从黑变白了。
　　有一天，我和我的两个兄弟又去了我们经常去探险的岛屿，抓到
了比其他人更多的鱼。突然，天空被乌云笼罩，刹那间，我们就被卷
入了可怕的风暴中。我们的船被巨浪淹没了，我弟弟掉进了海里，我
哥哥把嘴贴在我耳朵上，大喊：“Moskoe风暴！”一听到这个词，我
恐惧至极，听到这个词我就明白他的意思了。
　　伴随着风浪，我们朝着旋涡的方向前进。我们非常无助。没有什
么能救我们。我觉得恶心，好像在梦中从山顶上掉下来似的。我们一
直旋转，越来越靠近那可怕的旋涡边缘。看起来可能很奇怪，但在那
一刻，当我们在旋涡边缘的时候，我觉得自己比向它移动时更平静。
我开始想，这样死去是多么令人惊奇，能看到大自然的力量是多么奇
妙。突然，我们越过了边缘。我以为我的生命要结束了。但时间一分
一秒地过去，我仍然是安全的。
　　船在巨大的旋涡里面，我们以极快的速度绕着圈子。我清楚地看
到在旋涡里还有其他东西——树和桶。过了一会儿，我对旋涡本身产
生了好奇。然后我有了三个重要的发现。第一，物体越大，下落越
快；第二，在两个同等面积的物体之间，圆形物体落得更快；第三，
在两个同样大小的物体之间，管状物体落得更慢。所以我把自己绑在
一个桶上帮助我漂浮。我试图让我哥哥也明白，但他太害怕了，留在
了那条沉重的船上。我没继续等，就跳进了海里，尝试逃走。
　　如你所见，我能在这里讲这个故事，正是因为我做了正确的决
定。在我离开船后过了一会儿，那只载着我哥哥的船被卷入旋涡底
部。没多久，旋涡就变得不那么疯狂了。然后天空放晴，风平静了下
来，月亮在闪闪发光。我仍然跟木桶绑在一起，海浪很快把我带到了
一个其他渔民居住的地方。最后，一条船上的人把我救了起来。我疲
惫至极。那些渔夫是我的老朋友，但他们已经认不出我了。当我告诉
他们我的故事时，他们并不相信。现在故事讲完了，我并不指望你能
比那些渔民更相信我。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A recent report by the World Wildlife Fund （WWF） and the
Zoological Society of London （ZSL） shows that， on average，
wildlife numbers have been on the large decrease since 1970.
　　The Living Planet Index （LPI） report is released every two years
by WWF and ZSL. The report tracks the best efforts of scientists to count
wildlife populations around the world.The word population here means
groups of the same kinds of animals （species） living in the same general
area （or the size of those groups）.
　　The report doesn’t look at all wild animals， only vertebrates —
animals with a backbone.These include mammals， birds， fish，
reptiles， and amphibians.The report studied 5，230 species found in
31，821 populations around the world， and about half of the populations
studied are dropping.
　　This year’s LPI says that， on average， wildlife populations
dropped by 69% in the 48 years from 1970 to 2018.That’s a huge drop，
and it’s very worrying.Marco Lambertini， who leads WWF， said，
“The message is clear and the lights are flashing red.Our most
comprehensive report ever on the state of global vertebrate wildlife
populations presents terrifying figures： a shocking two-thirds decline in
less than 50 years.”
The LPI isn’t reporting numbers of animals.It’s reporting the
average change in the size of animal populations over time.In fact， their
losses are so extreme that the average drop for all populations was 69%.
　　Central and South America and the Caribbean had the greatest
population losses — a drop of 94%.Next came Africa， with a 66%
drop， followed by Asia and the Pacific with a 55% drop.Europe and
North America showed smaller losses.
　　Most of the losses are related to human actions.The biggest problem
is the loss of wild areas to growing cities， and activities like farming and
deforestation.Hunting， overfishing， and pollution are also big
challenges.Climate change is a growing problem， and may soon be the
biggest one.

report？（　　）
A. About 2，615. B. About 5，230.
C. About 15，910. D. About 31，821.

A. His great concern.
B. His deep disappointment.
C. His doubts about the report.
D. His expectations for the future.

目前的信息已经很明确——野生动物减少的数据是很可怕的，红灯
已经亮起。这表明了他对目前状况的一种深切担忧。
3. What is the top factor leading to wildlife population losses？（　　）
A. Climate change.
B. People’s activities.
C. Environmental pollution.
D. Hunting and overfishing.
解析：　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，作者指出，虽然导致
野生动物数量减少的因素有很多，但是人类活动（包括城市化、农
业占地以及砍伐森林等）是其中首当其冲的原因。
4. Which can be a suitable title for the text？（　　）
A. Wildlife Populations Change Over Time
B. Why Wildlife Populations Have Dropped
C. WWF Tries to Count Wildlife Populations
D. Wildlife Numbers Have Declined Sharply
解析：　标题归纳题。综合全文可知，本文主要结合世界野生动
物基金会和伦敦动物学会的一份报告告诉我们这样一个严峻事实—
—自1970年以来，野生动物的平均数量一直在大幅减少。因此D项
最适合作文章标题。
