I didn’t really haveenough time to go to class, so at first I tried to study on my own. I also persuaded anEnglish-speaking friend to give me some private lessons and I started to make progress. I don’tknow when it was exactly that I realised my English was good enough to do First Certificate,but Idid…and I passed!So, I don’t hate English any more. In fact it’s made quite a big difference in mylife!

B

We all love animals,but animals don’t feel the same way about us.When we enter their wildworld,we are“unnatural”invaders into their homes.

There was a video many of you may have seen on the Internet recently of a bear and its cub(幼崽)climbing up a steep, snow-covered hill in Russia.The mama bear makes it to the top without toomuch trouble,but the baby bear keeps sliding back down. It takes three attempts to reach the top and,no doubt,many cheered at the cub’s never-give-up spirit.But nature scientists who saw the videodidn’t cheer.

Instead, the scientists were upset that the two bears had been frightened into making adangerous,unnec essary climb by the drone(无人机) that was filming them. Sophie Gilbert of theUniversity of Idaho said, “It showed a complete lack of understanding from the drone operator ofthe effects his actions were having on the bears.”Other scientists have found that when a drone ishovering near,a bear’s heart rate can increase from 41 beats per minute to 162 beats per minute—a

high enough rate to cause a heart attack.

Human disturbance has actually been having a far-reaching influence on wildlife.Researchersat the Univers ity of Berke ley rec ently found that many mammals are turning into“n ight owls”againto avoid contact with humans. Such a shift might not only affect those species themselves,but alsohave numerous chain effects.

We human beings find ourselves in a strange position in nature.We are part of it but alsoseparate from it,now more than ever, since most of us live in cities. So,when we go off hiking intowild areas to“re-connect”with nature,we should go softly and considerately. It’s OK to get close toour animal friends, just not too close—we wouldn’t want to scare them,would we?

24.What does the video feature?

A. The baby bear’s climbing. B. The mama bear’s care.

C. The dangerous environment. D. The experiment by scientists.

25.Why didn’t nature scientists cheer?

A. They knew the bear’s family well.

B. They were against other sc ientists.

C. They knew the cause of the bears’climbing.

D. They lacked understanding of the drone operator.

26.What may be the effect of human disturbance on wildlife?

A. Food shortage. B. Changing habitats.

C. Ec ologic al imbalanc e. D. Les s c ontact with humans.

27.What does the author seem to agree with?

A. Lose c onnection with nature.

B. Tighten the bond with wild animals.

C. Respect the human-animal distanc e.

D. Shoot more videos on animals for study.

【答案】 24.A 25.C 26.C 27.C

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章通过描述一个无人机拍下的视频内容一只小熊攀爬雪山滑落后继续爬的事情经过科学家们的解读后可知小熊爬山并非像人们所称赞的具有永不放弃的精神而是因为受到了无人机的惊吓。人类大多与大自然分离作者提出当我们与大自然接
