Unit 4 Wildlife ProtectionThe old Elephant House at the National Zoo in Washington DC. has been renovated (翻新) to include a lot more space for the giant animals to play, rest and even take a shower. It has been renamed the Elephant Community Center, and it also offers a lot more for human guests.“Its a great place for elephants to socialize，” said Marie Galloway, who is the elephant manager at the zoo.The community center is designed to hold as many as 10 elephants. Although the zoo plans to increase the herd (象群), there are now just three elephants: Ambika, Shanthi and Kandula.Galloway said each animal reacted (作出反应) differently to the new space. Shanthi, 38 years old, walked right in and explored everywhere. Ambika, 65, was very cautious (谨慎的) the first day, not sure if the new space was safe. And Kandula, Shanthis 11yearold son, had a funny way of dealing with the unknown. “He backed his way in，” Galloway said with a laugh.“The elephants are already enjoying throwing sand on one another，” said Galloway.People also have a lot more to do than in the old building, where they had few chances to learn about endangered species from Asia.Theres a display featuring one of Kandulas old toys: a 750pound tire. Visitors can watch a video of him playing.There are several other handson activities, including a machine that compares elephant sounds and human voices. You also can make a promise to save the elephants.Lastly, “protection” is the message zoo officials hope visitors will take away from the exhibition. “Were hoping people will come to . and become educated，” Galloway said. “And take action to protect elephants.”Section_Warming Up & Reading PrereadingHOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEDaisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed.“Where do you want to go？” it asked. Daisy responded immediately.“Id like to see some endangered wildlife，” she said.“Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.” At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said，“Were being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species.” At that Daisy cried，“Im sorry I didnt know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where theres some wildlife protection.”long vt.&vi.渴望；极想long to do sth.渴望做某事此句中had longed to do sth.是过去完成时形式，意为“早就渴望做某事”，表示发生在以下所讲故事之前。species/spiiz/n.种类；物种(单复数同形)carpet/kpIt/n.地毯respond/rIspnd/vi.回答；响应；做出反应respond to sth.对某事做出反应distant/dIstnt/adj.远的；远处的fur/f/n.毛皮；毛；软毛where和that引导的都是定语从句，分别修饰land和animal。saw an antelope .为“感官动词宾语宾补”结构。beneath prep.在下面，在底下(相当于under)此处介词at表示“针对做出反应”。where引导定语从句，修饰先行词a place。戴茜是如何学会帮助野生动植物的第1段译文戴茜一直都渴望帮助那些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。一天她醒来，发现床边有一块飞毯。飞毯问：“你想去哪儿？”戴茜立刻回答。“我想去看一些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。请带我到一个遥远的地方，在那里我可以找到为制作这件毛衣而提供皮毛的动物。”她说。飞毯立刻起飞了，带她到了西藏。在那里，戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。它说：“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛皮被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此，我们现在濒临灭绝了。”听了这话，戴茜哭了：“我很抱歉，我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我想知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。飞毯啊，请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去吧。”The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. “Have you come to take my photo？” it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. “Dont laugh，” said the elephant, “We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife.”so . that如此以至于，that引导结果状语从句。turn around转身；环顾；翻身take ones phototake a photo of sb.给某人拍照in relief如释重负；松了口气(一般情况下作状语)relief/rIlif/n.(痛苦或忧虑的)减轻或解除；减轻痛苦的事物burst into laughter突然笑起来；大声笑了出来burst inton.相当于burst out名词对应的动词ing。laughter/lft/n.笑；笑声mercy/msI/n.仁慈；宽恕；怜悯without mercy毫无怜悯地；无情地certain/stn/adj.确定的；某一；一定a certain number of一定(数)量的So good things are being done .是现在进行时的被动语态，表示现阶段正在发生的被动动作。第2段译文飞毯飞行得如此快，以至于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。戴茜转过身去，看到一头大象正望着她。大象问道：“你是来给我拍照的吗？”戴茜如释重负，突然笑了起来。“不要笑了，”大象说道，“我们过去是濒危动物，农民们残忍地捕杀我们。他们说，我们破坏了他们的农田，而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。于是政府决定出面提供帮助。如果游客付给农民钱的话，他们允许游客猎取一定数量的动物。如今农民高兴了，我们的数量也在增加。为了拯救当地的野生动植物，他们也在做一些好事。”Daisy smiled, “Thats good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but Id like to help as the WWF suggests.”The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. “What are you doing？” asked Daisy. “Im protecting myself from mosquitoes，” it replied. “When I find a millipede insect， I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs.”Daisy was amazed. “Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help.” The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed， things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience！ She had learned so much!

The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing. The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it. The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter. Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped. They knew it was a hopeless task. Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever. The mouses joy, however, was shortlived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it. Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down. The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it. Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out. Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.The mouse ran away too. It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.语篇解读：野猫吃猫头鹰和獴，三者都吃老鼠。野猫是猫头鹰和獴的敌人，反而成了老鼠的“朋友”，保全了老鼠的命。5The mouse lived in extreme fear every day because _.Ait lived at the foot of the treeBhunters set traps everywhereCall its three neighbours might eat it at any timeDits food might be taken away by its neighbours解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句、第四段中獴和猫头鹰对老鼠的虎视眈眈以及最后一段中老鼠将野猫放出来后自己也逃离了可知，这三个邻居都对老鼠有生命威胁，因此它每天都生活在极度恐慌之中。6Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three?AThe wildcat.BThe mouse.CThe mongoose. DThe owl.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段可知，野猫无所畏惧，四处乱逛；猫头鹰和獴害怕野猫；老鼠害怕前三者。由此可知，在这四个邻居中，野猫最强势。7The mouse bit at the net to save the cat because _.Athey were good friendsBthey both hated the huntersCthe mouse was too kind to see the cat dieDthe other two neighbours were to attack it解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句可知，野猫被困住之后，獴和猫头鹰没有了天敌的威胁，于是准备攻击老鼠。老鼠意识到如果没有了野猫，自己面临的威胁更大，所以才救了野猫。8From the passage we can learn that the mouse is _.Akind BbraveCclever Dstupid解析：选C推理判断题。老鼠救了猫来保全自己，但也不寄希望于猫会感谢自己，也逃跑了。由此可推知，老鼠是聪明的。CSeal Island is a 200meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.You may think that there is no way for a 15foot long, 3,000pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.语篇解读：本文是说明文。作者向我们介绍了位于南非的Seal Island。在这个岛周边的水域大白鲨常常跳出水面猎食海豹，这一景象吸引了许多游客前去观看。9What probably makes Seal Island famous?AThe large number of seals in the water.BThe way the great white sharks hunt.CThe beautiful scenery of the island.DThe special position of the island.解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.”可知，大白鲨跳出水面捕食海豹是Seal Island出名的主要原因。10Why do the seals swim in a zigzag pattern?ATo save energy. BTo warm themselves.CTo look for food. DTo avoid the white sharks.解析：选D推理判断题。文章第三段列举了海豹躲避大白鲨的方法，其中一种方法就是在水里“之”字形游动。11We can infer from the third paragraph that _.Awhite sharks are dangerous animalsBthe seals are cleverer than the white sharksCthe sharks are successful in hunting the sealsDit is easier for the sharks to hunt the seals on the sea floor解析：选C推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知，几年来海豹虽然变聪明了，但它
