It estimates that only 7,100 cheetahs（猎豹）remain worldwide, mainly found in Africa. But according to the study, cheetahs have been forced out of 91% of their native range. Cheetahs found in Asia are among the hardest hit. Fewer than 50 are left in a small part of Iran.Many factors are to blame for the decline in cheetah numbers, including habitat loss and the illegal trade. Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem. Humans cause it by overhunting animals that cheetahs prey on. Cheetahs are carnivores and prey mainly on smaller mammals, for example gazelles.Because cheetahs usually roam over large areas in search of food, 77% of their habitat remains outside of government-protected areas. This means cheetahs are in constant danger of hunters and traders. In Zimbabwe, Africa, alone, the cheetah population has dropped from 1,200 to only about 170 in 16 years. This decline represents a loss of 85% of the countrys cheetahs.Dr. Kim YoungOverton, Pantheras Cheetah Program Director, thinks protected habitats alone are not enough to save cheetahs. Cheetahs in reserves also face dangers such as loss of prey and illegal trade.Dr. Sarah Durant, the studys lead author, believes that the information it contains will lead to a better understanding of cheetahs as well as a better approach to helping them survive. Durant says local and national officials must team up in order to save cheetahs. But first, the International Union for Conservation of Nature must classify the animals as endangered. Currently, cheetahs are classified as weak on the IUCNs Red List of Threatened Species. The change would focus more attention on cheetahs and help protect them for extinction. After all, in the fight to save cheetahs, its a race against time.8. What is the present situation of cheetahs according to the study?A. They are in danger.B. They live freely worldwide.C. They are protected well in Africa.D. They mainly live in their native range.9. What does the underlined word “carnivores” refer to?A. Animals kept at home.B. Animals living in zoos.C. Animals feeding on meat.D. Animals killed in the wild.10. What results in the decline of the cheetah population according to the text?A. The loss of their reserves.B. Their appearance in unpreserved areas.C. The decreasing government protection.D. Their increasing natural enemies.11. What does Dr. Sarah Durant think of the study of cheetahs?A. It shows ways of wildlife protection.B. It implies peoples role in saving animals.C. It stresses the importance of cheetahs in our life.D. It informs people of cheetahs existing state.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，世界上最快的陆地动物猎豹可能正在走向灭绝。Dr. Sarah Durant对印度豹的研究告诉人们印度豹的存在状态。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中This means cheetahs are in constant danger of hunters and traders.可知，根据这项研究，猎豹现在处于危险状态。故选A。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem.

And when you hear your three- year-old son arguing over who gets to be the mom while playing “house” alone in the other room, you might question if youve done something wrong as a parent. But dont worry, its perfectly normal for your child to have an imaginary friend, and it even has some benefits. While your kids are benefiting from playing with their imaginary friend, try out these other ways to raise an intelligent child!One of the biggest profits is that it promotes creativity. Just think about it-you have to be a special kind of creative to carry on a conversation with an imaginary figure that doesnt respond. Developmental psychologist Marjorie Taylor told PureWow that your childs creativity will remain with them as they get older, even when they stop hanging out with their “friend”.Along with being more creative, they will also have a better developed and more different vocabulary as well as stronger social skills. Talking to “Sally” or “Bob” all day will allow them to practice their speech and conversation skills. Researchers at La Trobe University in Australia found that children who engage with their imaginary friends on a regular basis use more plex sentences and are more confident in everyday social situations.There are also some benefits for the parents. If your childs brothers or sisters arent around or theyre an only child, they have someone to entertain them while you spend the time on you never-ending to-do list. So even though it might get odd when your kids constantly ask you to set an extra plate at the table for their imaginary friends, theyll benefit in the future from keeping them around. Having an extra member of the family cant be that bad, the more the merrier, right?12. Who is the three-year-old boy talking to while playing “house” alone?A. His toy. B. His mother.C.

Ways to raise an intelligent childC. Benefits of childrens having imaginary friendsD. Benefits of letting your child play【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C【解析】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述的是孩子有想象中的朋友的好处。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中dont worry, its perfectly normal for your child to have an imaginary friend, and it even has some benefits.可知，一个三岁的小男孩在独自玩“房子”的时候和他想象的朋友说话。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中Developmental psychologist Marjorie Taylor told PureWow that your childs creativity will remain with them as they get older, even when they stop hanging out with their “friend”.可知，Marjorie Taylor对孩子们和他的“朋友”玩的感觉是帮助孩子们发展得更好。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Having an extra member of the family cant be that bad, the more the merrier, right?可知，作者建议父母让孩子们和想象中的朋友一起玩耍。故选D。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中So even though it might get odd when your kids constantly ask you to set an extra plate at the table for their imaginary friends, theyll benefit in the future from keeping them around.
