Question

【題目】 Hello. We are students from Thailand. We want to save the elephants. The elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.

Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well. People say that “an elephant never forgets”. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. They can also remember places with food and water. This helps them to live.

But elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before), We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.

【解析】

本文介紹了大象處于困境并倡導(dǎo)大家保護(hù)大象。

【1】根據(jù)第1段第4句Our first flag had a white elephant on it.（我們的第一面國(guó)旗上有一只白象。）可知第一面旗上有一頭白色的大象；故答案是a white elephant (on it)。

【2】根據(jù)第2段第6句They can also remember places with food and water.（他們還可以記住有食物和有水的地方。）可知答案是places with food and water。

【3】根據(jù)第3段第2句People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes.（人們砍倒了許多樹(shù)，大象失去了家園。）可知“許多樹(shù)木被人砍伐”；故答案是are cut down。

【4】根據(jù)下文“*別砍倒那么多樹(shù)*不要買象牙制品*3月13日是泰國(guó)大象節(jié)”可知主要是關(guān)于“如何拯救大象/拯救大象的方法”；故答案是How to save the elephants/The ways to save the elephants。

【5】根據(jù)第3段第3句中We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.（我們必須拯救樹(shù)木，不要買象牙制品。）可知“不要買象牙制品”；things made of ivory：象牙制品，made of是過(guò)去分詞做后置定語(yǔ)；be made of：由…制作；things made of ivory可以改成定語(yǔ)從句 things which/that are made of ivory，先行詞是things復(fù)數(shù)，引導(dǎo)詞which在定語(yǔ)從句做主語(yǔ)，可知定語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞使用復(fù)數(shù)，可知be動(dòng)詞使用復(fù)數(shù)are；故答案是are made of。
