So scientists are trying their best to save the species from going out of existen. （ = extinction ）进入现代社会，野生动物便受到极大的威胁。每天都有物种不断地消失，白枕鹤就是个典型的 例子。于是科学家们正在奋力挽救这些物种，以免空留遗憾。Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping endangered cranes with their reproduction. Emma, a female crane, has been in their care since she arrived in 2004.克瑞斯与蒂姆在一家动物园负责协助濒临灭绝的白枕鹤繁衍后代。有一只雌鹤叫艾玛，自从 2004年下榻园中就一直得到他们的呵护。Born at an international crane foundation, Emma was raised by human caretakers. This led to an unexpected consequence, though she had a wonderful time there. Emma had never taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She refused to live with male cranes, and even had a reputation for killing some of them, which made it impossible for her to become a mother.艾玛出生在一处国际鹤科养殖基地，全靠人工喂养，饮食无忧，不过造成的后果也出人意料。 艾玛从未想过自己跟鹤科有任何连带关系，倒觉得跟人类才有不解之缘。她不仅拒绝与雄鹤同处， 更出格的是有几只雄鹤竟然让她开了杀戒，这一切无不证实为鹤之母的大业与她无缘。However, the two zookeepers didnt want to see the extinction of this precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a combination of artificial breeding and natural reproduction. This enabled Emma to give birth to five baby cranes.然而，这两位管理员不想眼睁睁看到这类珍禽物种的泯灭。后来通过人工繁殖与自然生殖双管 齐下，经过不懈的努力，他们终于让艾玛当上了妈妈一一五只鹤宝成功破壳出世。The two keepers are proud of their productive work. But before they can be assured, more efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the decline, and many other species appear headed toward extinction. After all, not everyone has realized that wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive.两位管理员对自己卓有成效的工作深感自豪。不过，他们不能盲目乐观，未来的路还需砥砺前 行。首先，野生鹤的数量正在不断减少，好多其他物种也在濒临灭绝。另外，野生动物是有思想 的、有情感的，更为重要的是，他们同样享有生存权，但是并非所有的人都能保有这种意识。ybe their hearts can be a better guide.为B么，怎样才能拉近我们与其他动物的关系，弥合业已渐远的隔阂呢？克瑞斯和蒂姆是这样给 大家解答的：人类太高估自己的智商，认为人定胜天，但是，或许心之所向才是更高的智慧。How can we bridge the ever-widening gap that separates us from other animals? Chris and Tim offered us the answer: human beings took it for granted that their brains held all the solutions, but ma【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物 种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是，有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过 努力，帮助一只名叫Emma的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。36. D 根据第一句“Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age” 和最后一句提到的“.the species from going out of existence”可以推知，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝，即：“消失”。 D 选项正确。37. B 前文提到每天都有物种消失，那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种，使它们免于灭 绝。故 B 选项正确。38. C上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种，由此推知，该处应指Chris和Tim帮助 濒危物种繁殖，增加它们的数量，这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指“繁殖”， C 选项正确。39. A自从2004年，Emma 一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的“human caretaker”呼应。故选A。40. C根据空后的“human caretakers”可知，caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指：出生在一个国际 鹤基地， Emma 由人类抚养照看。故选 C。41. B根据空后的though （尽管）可知，though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到，她过得很 开心。根据转折关系，那么前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。 B 选项正确。42A 根据下文中的“become deeply attached to humans.even .killing some of them”等内容可知，因为 Emma 一直由人类照看，所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤，而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。43. B根据上文，Emma不把自己当作鹤，所以它“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。B选项正确。44. D根据even （甚至）这个递进关系可知，Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起，而且因为弄死了几只 雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。故D选项正确。45. D Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活，这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤，成为妈妈。D选项正确。46. C 上文提到 Emma 拒绝和雄鹤生活，使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到 这一物种的灭绝。由此推知，上下文之间是转折关系。 C 选项正确。47. A经过努力，Chris和Tim成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起。A选项正确。48. D Chris和Tim成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起，这使得Emma诞育了五只幼鹤。enablesb. to do sth.意为“使能够做某事”，D选项正确。49.C 根据后文的 more efforts must be made 可以推知，尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲，但是他们还 需要付出更多努力，因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心（白鹤不会灭绝）。故选Co assured 意为“确定的，有把握的，自信的”。50. D 根据 because 可知，前后句之间是因果关系，根据 more efforts must be made 可以推知，野生白鹤数 量在减少，所以，还要付出更多的努力（来挽救白鹤灭绝）。故D选项正确。51. B 前文提到：野生白鹤数量正在减少，很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到，并不是所有的 人都意识到野生动物有思想，感情，以及平等生存的权利。很明显，该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭 绝原因的一种解释。故B选项正确。after all:毕竟（用于解释和说明理由）。52. B 针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象，作者提出一个问题：我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开 的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？ B选项正确。53. C前文提出一个问题：我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？ Chris和Tim的做法 给我们提供了一个答案。 C 选项正确。54. A根据下文中的“hold all the solutions”可以推断出，人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。 即：人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。 A 选项正确。55. A根据转折词but可以推知，人类想当然的认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可 以用“心”更好地“引领”他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。
