In 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth.In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns.These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment.Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.
If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts.But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles—and the world's most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物)—pangolins.
Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong.But actually they are endangered mammals.There are eight different kinds of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction.Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts.The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking.Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild.It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.

In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins.We are strengthening the
carrying out of the plan, building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife, raising
awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.
Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan.Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.
13.How many rhinos were killed in South Africa during the last two years? A.More than 81,250. B.More than 20,000. C.More than 2,200. D.More than 40,000.
14.How many kinds of pangolins are there in Asia? A.Ten. B.Four. C.Six. D.Eight.
15.What does the phrase “carrying out” mean in the fourth paragraph? A.Putting the plan into effect. B.Moving the plan to a place. C.Making a new plan. D.Taking the plan with you.
16.What does the writer want us to know after reading the passage? A.Protecting wild animals is our duty. B.Something about World Wildlife Day. C.Something about illegal trade in East Asia.

D.Wild animals are in danger and we must get involved. Ⅲ.[2018·顺义一模] 阅读短文,根据短文回答问题
In 1989, a strong earthquake almost flattened America, and over 300,000 people were injured in less than four minutes.Though the earthquakes had not ended completely, a father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to find that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After a moment he came to himself and remembered the promise he had made to his son:“No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes.As he looked at the ruins, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.He rushed there and started digging in the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, saying:“It's too late! They're all dead! Come on, face the fact.There's nothing you can do!” To each parent he just replied,“Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Courageously he went on along because he needed to know for himself:“Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for 8 hours…12 hours…24 hours…36 hours…Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice.He screamed his son's name,“ARMAND!” He heard back,“Dad! It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved.You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”
“What's going on there?” the father asked anxiously.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad.We're very frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here.When the building fell down, it made a triangle(三角形), and it saved us.”
“Come out, boy!”
“No, Dad! Let the other kids come out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!”
