A

North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.

In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the US, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.

But in Minnesota, the US, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday life.

In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.

( )26.In the first paragraph, we can learn that North American black bears are ________．

A．shy and fearful animals B．not found today

C．well known to scientists D．not afraid of people

( )27.The word “remove” in the second paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.

A．拔下 B．移植 C．清洗 D．修补

( )28.Which of the following may NOT be included in the New Jersey studies on bears?

4 / 11

外研版八年级英语上册Module 6 Animals in danger单元测试题

A．The age.

B．The way of their communication. C．The weight.

D．The number of babies they produce.

( )29.In the Minnesota studies, researchers ________． A．can never get close to the bears B．study the bears while they are asleep C．use grapes to make the bears full D．learn a lot about the bears' everyday life ( )30.What do the two studies have in common? A．Research places. B．The main purpose. C．Research methods. D．Collected information.

B

The brown bears at Helsinki's Korkeasaari Zoo received a particular treat, thanks to the generosity of a young boy. Twelve­year­old Otso Riiali donated 200 euros to the zoo to give the bears new climbing trees, without which he thought they would be in danger.

Otso, from the small town of Karjalohja west of Helsinki, says he saved up the money by selling 400 bottles of home­made berry juice with the help of his grandmother. “It was hard work and my back hurt badly from all the bending in the forest while I was picking berries，” said Otso.

A visit to the bear shelter a few years ago drove Otso to bring some cheer to the animals, which he said didn't seem energetic.

“Otso could have kept all he made by means of selling juice for himself, but he made a decision to give part of it to help animals. Otso showed an un­usual ability to act. He did not stop at seeing what a bad situation the bears were in. Instead,

外研版八年级英语上册Module 6 Animals in danger单元测试题

he began to act in a practical way and made it.”

The zoo gladly accepted Otso's donation. However, bear caretaker Tiina Koivu mentioned that the bears' foot­dragging(步履蹒跚) at the time of Otso's visit was caused by the summer heat.

It happens that the name Otso is also an old Finnish(芬兰的) word for bear. “I was born to be a bear lover，” said Otso with a smile.

( )31.The underlined word “euros” in the first paragraph probably means a kind of ________．

A．food B．tree C．animal D．money

( )32.According to the passage, all of the following words can be used to describe Otso's quality EXCEPT ________．

A．generous B．hard­working C．modest D．warm­hearted

( )33.The right order(顺序) of what happened to Otso is ________． ①The zoo accepted Otso's donation with gladness. ②He made berry juice with the help of his grandmother. ③He paid a visit to the bear shelter a few years ago. ④He picked berries in the forest though it was hard. A．②④③① B．③④②① C．④③①② D．③④①②

( )34.What's the main idea of the passage? A．Otso means bear in Finnish.

B．Otso made a donation to help the bears. C．Otso could make berry juice. D．Otso visited a zoo.

Hello, everyone. I'm Li Ming. I'm glad to make a speech here. I want to be a volunteer of protecting animals. I am kind to others. I am good with animals. I'm hard-working so I can do extra work.I like playing football and the guitar. I have ever organised a charity show to raise money for Save China's Tigers. And I keep some homeless little animals.

Animals are our friends. We should love them. I am always thinking protecting animals is protecting ourselves. If I can be a volunteer, I will work harder and do more meaningful things to protect animals. I will call on more people to love animals like me. I will try my best to make the world more united.

Thanks for listening！
