8、mal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.【文章大意】本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。目前，世界范围内动物的数量正在不断下降，保护动物刻不容缓。保护动物不仅是为动物，也是为我们人类自己的生存考虑。幸运的是，现在有的国家已经开始行动，例如成立保护组织或制定法律等对动物进行有效的保护。1What is the best title for the passage?A.

9、mals D. Animals in Danger解析：A标题归纳题。文章提到动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题，故文章标题应是“保护动物”。2Animals are important to us mainly because _.A. they give us a source of foodB. they are beautiful and lovelyC. they keep the balance of natureD. they give us a lot of pleasure解析：C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“
