辽宁铁岭市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文填单词类训练题（17）及答案can we give a hand to those endangered animals? yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.1. protect wildlife habitat.perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. in areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. by protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species.the spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. they can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. place decals (贴花纸) on windows.it is reported that as many as one billion birds in the united states die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. you can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. slow down when driving.many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. one of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. so when youre out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.67. what would be the best title for this passage?a. how animals go to extinctionb. the importance of protecting wildlifec. what to do to help save wildlifed. how to

suggest kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her lime. sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time. born in 1907 in a village near mexico city, kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症 )at the age of seven. her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older. then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. however, the accident had an unexpected side effect. while lying in her bed recovering, kahlo taught herself to paint. in 1929, she got married to diego rivera, another famous mexican artist. riveras strong influences on kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband. unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. her first one-woman show in

who made the first ice cream. some people think water ices and milk ices may have been made by the chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. in that timt, the dish reached india. the indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the arabs and persians.marco polo, an italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. from the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in venice and then throughout italy.at first ice cream was a luxury奢侈品 in france. only rich people had the money to buy it. then , in 1660, a young man from sicily, francisco procopio, arrived in paris. he opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. then his ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.about 1640, king charles introduced ice cream to england and soon ice cream quickly became popular in england too.americans now eat more ice cream than any people in the world. but they are not the only ones who are fond of it. greeks are also fond of ice cream. in the large cities of germany there are many small shops that sell only ice cream. ice cream shops are not as common as in england, although large london stores do have soda fountains.ice cream sodas first became popular sometime in the 1880s in the united states. in fact they soon became too popular to suit some of the good people of evanston, illinois. they thought it was not proper to drink soda on sunday. a city law was passed to stop the ice cream soda on sundays. to keep within the law, it is said that one man served ice cream with syrup糖水 .throughout its long history, ice cream has been a favorite dish, but only in this century has it been made with so many different tastes. peo
