1、话题二野生动物保护.阅读理解AEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching，and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children
2、too young to develop proper judgements through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents.

In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun.Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and bec
4、ause of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners
5、 alone. Although most people do not shoot they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then，is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now，it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do
6、 and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If，as they would ha

Nowadays，elephants are found in small groups in the south of the Sahara Desert and scarcely in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and India.In the early twentieth
11、century, there were close to ten million elephants，and now the elephant number is as low as 252,000 and expected to drop down to 160,000 by 2025. Between 2007 and 2014, the elephant population fell by at least 30% ，or 144,000 elephants. As researchers have traveled over the African plains，they only
12、spotted one herd of 36 elephants in an area like the size of Mexico.It is clear that these gentle mammals are disappearing right before our eyes.There are many reasons why the elephant population has been decreasing，one of which is their habitat. Humans are competing with elephants for living space,
13、 and as more and more humans clear the land that is being used by elephants, the elephants have less space. Elephant hunting or “poaching” has been a major factor for the disappearance of this species，and they are killed only for their valuable ivory tusks. Although the trade of tusks is illegal, it
14、 is still a common practice in many places.Often，all the local people living among elephants would be farmers，and found that they could make more money by selling the tusks of one elephant than doing manual labor for twelve years. That alone makes it really hard to prevent them from killing the elep
15、hants.Some places such as Botswana，have put in extra effort to protect their wildlife from poachers by founding their Botswana Defense Force, which is made up of around 700 speciallytrained soldiers that are stationed in 40 different areas.
