(2019·上饶高一检测)
　　Lemurs are cute animals that live on the island of Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world. Lemurs have big eyes, long noses, and long tails(except for the Indri) and live high in the trees of Madagascan forests. Lemurs are quite intelligent. They are the cousins of monkeys and look quite similar. They also swing through the trees and live in family groups.
There are different species of lemurs. Some lemurs (the Indri) sing like a whale, and some (the Sifaka) walk like a ballet dancer. Some lemurs are very small, like the Pygmy Mouse Lemur which weighs only 25-30 grams. Others, like the Indri, can weigh up to ten kilograms. Some lemurs are nocturnal, being awake at night and sleeping during the day, and some are not nocturnal but diurnal. Generally, the smaller lemurs are nocturnal, while the bigger ones are diurnal. All the species are unique to Madagascar.
However, all of the lemurs are endangered species. Many species have already disappeared in the last few centuries. There are not many of lemurs left. People in Madagascar have been destroying the forests where lemurs live. Local people also hunt lemurs for food. Some of the local people see lemurs as bringers of bad luck, so they kill lemurs.
At the moment, there are about 85 lemur species left. But many people fear that the number of species will fall quickly. Soon there may be no lemurs left if we do not make serious efforts to protect them.

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文本文主要讲述了北极熊的生存环境及其变化, 呼吁人们保护自然环境, 保持生态平衡。
1. 【解析】frozen。考查形容词。这里应用形容词修饰名词, 再根据语境应用frozen“封冻的, 结冰的”。
2. 【解析】that/which。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知, 空处引导定语从句, 修饰先行词the danger, 且在定语从句中作主语, 所以用关系代词that/ which。
3. 【解析】suffering。考查非谓语动词。Polar bears是suffer的逻辑主语, 所以用动词的-ing形式 suffering作后置定语。
4. 【解析】has decreased。考查动词的时态。根据since 1979可知, 应用现在完成时, 所以用has decreased。
5. 【解析】on。考查介词。depend on是固定短语, 意为“依靠”。
6. 【解析】survival。考查名词。此处应用名词作宾语, 所以用survival, 意为“生存”。
7. 【解析】it。考查代词。根据语境可知, 此处应用it指代The sea ice, 这里是指没有海冰, 北极熊就不能生存。
8. 【解析】natural。考查词形转换。空处作表语, 应用形容词natural, 此处表示一些海冰的融化和再结冰是自然现象。
9. 【解析】Normally。考查副词。这里应用副词修饰全句, 故用Normally, 意为“通常情况下”。
10. 【解析】to protect。考查非谓语动词。本句是it is +adj. (+for sb. )+ to do句型。

Animals in Danger
　　As we know, a lot of animals are in danger now. Air and water are being polluted so that the environment in which animals live are destroyed. Besides, many trees are being cut down, making many animals lose their homes. What’s worse, too many animals are hunted for money and are being killed without mercy so that some of them are in danger of dying out.
In my opinion, something must be done now. Firstly, natural reserves should be set up to protect the animals. Secondly, all the illegal hunting should be punished. Thirdly, people should be made aware of the importance of environmental protection. Only in this way can we save the animals. To save the animals is to save ourselves.
