unit4 wildlife protection高考试题一（2017年高考新课标i卷阅读理解，b）i work with volunteers for wildlife, a rescue and education organization at bailey arboretum in locust valley. trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. however, when it works, it is simply beautiful.i got a rescue call from a woman in muttontown. she had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. when i arrived, i saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. it had already been placed in a carrier for safety.i examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. if i could locate the nest, i might have been able to put it back, but no luck. my next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.the homeowner was very helpful. a wire basket was found. i put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. i placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. i gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. these advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. i gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.a nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! the homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. i drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. and it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all lunch! the parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. what is unavoidable in the authors rescue work according to paragraph 1?a. effortsmadeinvain.b. gettinginjuredinhiswork.c. feelinguncertainabouthisfuture.d.

a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. when i arrived, i saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl可知有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了，作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了，作者只是过去看情况，所以d选项错误。故选c。26. a 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的i placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down可知在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后，它很快就安静下来，所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。故选a。27. b 【解析】观点态度题。根据前文描述可知作者为小猫头鹰做了窝，并且帮助它找回了它的父母，小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐，作者的救助成功了，说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的however, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推测，作者感觉很美好。故选b。高考试题二（2015重庆卷）there are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of botswanas okavango delta must rank as one of the worlds

up by the horses，the romance of africa comes to life.back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. looking back on your day，you will find it hard to deny that a
