山东省威海市2019年中考英语试卷

阅读下列短文,从文后每小题A、B、C选项中选择最佳答案。

    We know people can be nice, but what about animals?

    Scientists say that some animals are capable(有能力的)of being nice. Animals that live in groups-like foxes, chimpanzees(大猩猩), and elephants-follow rules. They have to follow rules to get along and to survive(生存). However, animals can act nicely, even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior.

    Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them. Marc Bekoff, a researcher at the University of Colorado, saw a female(母的)red fox do just that. The female fox was unhappy because a male(公的)fox played roughly(粗鲁地)with her. When she walked away, the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely. He lowered his head and rolled on his back. The female fox gave him another chance, and this time, he played more gently.

    Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania. One day, Teleki hiked far away from his campsite. He didn't have any food. Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree, but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat. The chimpanzee climbed the tree, picked the fruit, and gave it to him!

    An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk(象鼻子). He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth. Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently. He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant. The healthy elephant didn't need any more information. He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth.

    Hippos(河马)and crocodiles are usually good friends. They hang out together in rivers. But Karen Paolillo, a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe, saw something surprising. One day, a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river. A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away. Why did the hippo attack(攻击)the crocodile? Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles.

    Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China.It is one of the world's most important wetlands.The area provides food and shelter for wildlife.It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants,fish and birds.

    Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round,while some only stay for a short time.There are many fish in the wetlands,and the birds can easily catch them for food.Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes.There are not manyred-crowned cranes in the world.Some of them live in Zhalong.

    Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.

    More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space.Many of them died.The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds,and they can be safe in Zhalong.

    Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds.This year members of ourBird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalongand the changes in their numbers.The study begins next month.

    We do a bird count once a year.We are now inviting secondary school students to help.We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands.We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.
