2019-2020年高考英語一輪復(fù)習(xí)話題語篇專攻練19環(huán)境保護一外研版. 閱讀理解A(xx福州模擬)The poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos(犀牛)in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in xx, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before. The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20, 000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africas Environment Minister, says, “During xx, we are sad to say this, 1, 215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1, 004 in xx and indeed very worrying. ”The animals are hunted for their horns(角). Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin(角蛋白). That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails. Ms Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africas legal system is ineffective. Ms Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during xx and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year, ”Molewa said. Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “Were talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally. ”She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March atthe Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade. 【文章大意】本文介紹了南非犀牛盜獵創(chuàng)歷史記錄、盜獵原因及為保護犀牛所采取的一系列措施。作者在最后一段指出禁止偷獵犀牛需要國際間的合作。1.

You may wonder how paving(鋪砌)a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not e from lakes or rivers. It es from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to bee groundwater. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱)than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs. Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1. 5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number. You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗機)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away. 【文章大意】本文是一篇議論文。主要論及人類淡水資源的問題。本文先是分類論述人類活動將會對淡水資源的短缺造成影響, 進而通過實例介紹在日常生活中我們應(yīng)當(dāng)如何節(jié)約使用淡水。5.
