The tool is called the SMART. It is designed to be waterproof (防水的) , shockproof and poacher (偷猎者) proof. Bergl worked with worldwide wildlife groups to develop it in 2011. Since then it has been seen in more than 55 countries where poachers have forced the best-known but most endangered animals to nearly die out .
SMART works as a very simple smart phone―it lets the user record what they see, like animal sightings. changes in animals and illegal activities If a park ranger (管理员) sees something that is very important, that information can be sent to the cloud (云) and sent out to the base camp so they can take action and stop the killing

That was when the first letter from the famous American conservationist (自然环境保护主义者), George Schaller, arrived on our desk. Tibetan antelopes were being killed in their thousands, he wrote, and their wool (毛) was taken illegally to India. "No use in India for antelope wool," we wrote back, not knowing the seriousness of the illegal trade here. Schaller sent us back pictures to prove it and asked us to begin a Tibetan investigation.
We dug around and found that Schaller was right. We realised that antelope wool was the same as shahtoosh, the famous Kashmiri shawl (披肩). The shawl was made from the underwool of Tibetan antelopes, considered the warmest and softest wool in the world. A single shawl needed the wool of three to five antelopes. We had to save the animal.
Then began India's first campaign (运动) to protect Tibetan antelopes. A lot of designers and models joined us. Slowly, the message was being driven home: shahtoosh was out of style, shahtoosh was illegal and alternative (可替代的) shawls would save the antelopes from extinction.
There were, of course, those who tried to buck the campaign. The wife of a well-known army officer of India refused to give up her shahtoosh till she was forced out of it. She said: "I know the lovely antelope is dying and I so want to save it. But, the shawl is so light on my shoulders!"
Someone suggested farming the antelopes, but studies showed that it was an impractical idea. The antelopes could not even survive in low altitude zoos. The underwool is nature's gift to the animal to keep it warm at great heights. Later, we set up a business to process high quality pashmina wool and make an alternative shawl.
In 2000, good news came in from China. With strict policies in place, the number of Tibetan antelopes was on the rise again.
(1)、What did the author think of the antelope wool trade Schaller mentioned at first?A、It wasn't true. B、It wasn't unusual. C、It was a serious matter. D、It was difficult to deal with.(2)、What can be inferred about India's first campaign to protect Tibetan antelopes?A、It got a lot of support. B、It was unacceptable to models. C、It failed to achieve its purpose. D、It was brought to an end by Ashok Kumar.(3)、What does the underlined word "buck" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Lead. B、Fight against. C、Change. D、Keep up.(4)、What measure did India take to save Tibetan antelopes?A、Cutting down the shawl business. B、Asking farmers to raise antelopes. C、Stopping keeping antelopes in zoos. D、Encouraging the use of pashmina wool shawls.4. 阅读短文,回答问题A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes. "It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad," says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick.
The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species "to come back from the dead," says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador.
Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.
Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad's reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales's team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn't mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered.
Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn't fall back into extinction. "Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans," she says. "Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct."
(1)、Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad?A、It could live for 30 years. B、It had been thought to be extinct. C、It was a foreign species in Ecuador. D、It lived together with other species.(2)、What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad?A、It is huge in number. B、It might disappear soon. C、It can spread diseases quickly. D、It may have survived chytrid.(3)、What does Costales plan to do?A、Treat harlequin toads for chytrid. B、Discover more endangered species. C、Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction. D、Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Lost and Found B、Back to the Wild C、Hope for Animals D、The Known and the Unknown5. 阅读短文,回答问题Bees (蜜蜂) touch our lives in ways we may not realize. They are responsible for as much as one third of the food that we eat, and even play a role in growing the cotton (棉花) used in much of our clothing. Here's how you can help:
1. Plant more flowers
Bees depend on garden flowers to ensure they have different kinds of diet. By planting flowers in your garden you can create a pleasant place for bees. Another idea is to add hanging baskets of flowers next to your front door.
2. Find a space for a beehive (蜂窝) in your garden
Many would-be beekeepers find it difficult to find a safe space for their bees. If you have some space, contact your local beekeeping organization. You will be surprised what a difference a beehive will make to your garden.
3. Give bees water
They use water to produce food for their bee families and control the temperature in their hives. Bees look for a clean source of water. Leave out containers filled with clean water in your outdoor spaces and refresh them often.
4. Be bee friendly
Bees are good neighbors, and only sting (蜇) when they feel threatened. Beekeepers wear protective clothing when they are dealing with bees. If a bee flies in front of you when unprotected, do not flap (拍打) your hands. The bee will soon lose interest.
A. Stay calm and move slowly away.
B. Fight the diseases that affect bees.
C. They could find a beekeeper in need of a site.
D. One way to help bees is to buy local produce.
E. Like every living creature, bees need water to survive.
F. But more than one quarter of the species is facing extinction.
G. You don't even need a garden space to attract bees; your window box will do.

7. 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Huang Shunjie might have the best job in the world. The 24-year-old is panda photographer and zookeeper. Huang spends each day (look) after 18 baby pandas at the Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in China. He prepares their meals, checks on their health and (carry) them between their sleeping pens and their public enclosure (围场).
"I can get very close to the baby pandas, makes many people jealous (忌妒的)," Huang says.
Any job (certain) has downsides. In Huang's case, it's the regular scratches (抓伤) he gets from the 45 - to 55-pound bears. But it's a small price to pay to spend each day with the cute pandas.
"I'm a full-time daddy for these baby pandas," says Huang. "If I take some (day) off to go home, I feel empty inside."
For many years, giant pandas were one of the world's most endangered creatures as construction destroyed their (nature) habitat in bamboo forests.
But populations have recovered in recent years due programs to help pandas breed (繁殖). Today, there (be) 1,864 pandas in the wild, up from only 1, 114 in the 1970s, according to China's National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Two-thirds of (they) live across 67 nature reserves.

9. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was last August. We were on vacation, having driven from our home in Washington, DC, to New Hampshire. We wouldn't see friends — it would be just me, my husband, and our two kids out for a nice week away. We had walked about half a mile to a popular place called Diana's Baths, near the town of North Conway, where the water falls off a series of flat large rocks. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance (距离).
Both where we sat and down below, the water fell into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing. I watched as some younger parents nervously asked their toddlers (学步的小孩) to keep away from the rocks' edges (边缘), feeling thankful that our kids, at six and eight, knew how to be careful. But I was still worried as I saw my two boys jump between the rocks.
"No running," I said again and again. "Stay away from all those edges."
But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, playing in the pools. My kids were laughing as my husband put his head under the running water. Then, seconds later, every fear I'd ever had rose to the surface.
I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in a fast-moving stream (小溪). I shouted at him to get out. He shouted back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge.
My husband was already running down the rocks. I finally saw that Wyatt was sitting up — he was alive. My biggest fear was erased. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard a woman shout. "That child just went over the waterfall! He fell on his back, straight onto the rocks."
It was about 12 feet from the top of the waterfall to the pool below.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
While everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid to help, this woman didn't hesitate.
The rescue team came.
