Many of them are killed for their tusks. People make elephant tusks into crafts (工艺品) and jewelry and sell them to rich people.But can these priceless body parts grow back? The answer is no, Live Science said. The elephants tusks are actually part of their teeth. Nearly all African elephants and most male Asian elephants have these long teeth. About one-third of the tusk is in the animals skull (头骨). The tusk has a nerve (神经) running down its center. This makes it similar to your teeth. Once you lose a tooth, you will never grow a new one.Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves, lift things, dig water and gather food. But losing the tusk will not kill them. The way in which they lose the tusk is what matters. Usually, people get tusks by culling (限量捕杀), which means killing old and weak elephants. They also take tusks from the elephants that have died naturally.However, these sources arent enough to keep up with the demand for ivory. Therefore, some poachers (偷猎者) kill healthy elephants and cut their faces open to remove the tusks. About 27,000 elephants are killed by poachers each year, according to National Geographic.As a result of poaching, some African elephants gradually evolved (进化) without tusks, which has allowed them to survive. In Mozambique, about 90 percent of African elephants were killed for their tusks and meat from 1975 to 1992, National Geographic reported.Scientists found that about a third of younger femalesthe generation born after 1992never developed tusks. （1）What do people make elephants tusks into? （2）How many things can elephants use their tusks to do according to the passage? （3）What do people kill the elephants for? （4）How do poachers remove tusks from healthy elephants? （5）What do some African elephants do in order to survive? 三、 单词拼写 (共1题；共10分)6. （10分）根据短文内容和所给中文提示，在空白处写出正确的单词，每空一词。 Take care! my brother shouted to me.

Start the things you want to do right now.C. It always takes time to be a winner.D. You can always learn something when trying.E. Dont worry! Itll probably never happen.F. Dont compare yourself with others.Im forty now. I left school twenty-two years ago. Heres my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school._I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could._How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. Theyre just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably wont remember most of the things you worry about now._When I was young, I often failed to start things I expected to do because I thought theyd taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm(热情). It seemed such a long time. Now I know a year is nothing, if Id started that book when I was 16, I might have written 10 more by now. Im upset with myself for not even trying._As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again and again until you learn. But at school you are usually encouraged to do things right. Then you stop trying new things in case you get them wrong. You are losing chances to challenge yourselves. I always remind myself: I had fallen off the bike many times before I learned to ride it._I hated losing when I was younger. Of course, its nice to win sometimes and to be the best at something. But we cant all be winners all the time. Learning to lose is one of lifes most important lessons. If you try your hardest, then you should never be angry with yourself.六、 完成句子 (共2题；共11分)9. （1分）This style was created _(在十九世纪) by an American poet. 10. （10分）阅读短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空白处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 Dear Anna,Thanks for your letter.
