关于保护动物高中英语作文1：Animals Need Protecting

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

关于保护动物高中英语作文3：How tu protect animals

It is known to everyone that the unrestrained slaughter of wild animals has diminished the number of some endangered species. More and more species are being driven to extinction every year. It is terrible to think that magnificent animals are being sacrificed to human vanity

There are already laws enacted to prevent the importation of rare animals and the products made from their flesh, skin and bones.

These laws must be strictly enforced. Violators of these laws must be severely punished .Moreover, the public must be informed about the natural treasures we stand to lose .If we don’t take immediate action, we will be depriving future generations of our most precious heritage.

In Taiwan, because most people do not understand the importance of wildlife, the wildlife is in a poor situation. We Chinese are fond of eating anything delicious, so there are many animals killed by hunters. People enjoy eating tigers, bears, birds, and lions, so there are fewer and fewer birds flying in the sky and fewer and fewer bears running here and there in the forest. Instead, we often see them for sale at the market. How poor they are! And how cruel we are!

In my opinion, we should try every possible way to preserve wildlife. First, no one is allowed to hurt any wild animal. Second, the authorities concerned should punish those who kill any wild animal. Third, we should pay more attention to those endangered species to protect them from being eaten. If we can do so, nature must become very beautiful.

在台湾,因为大多数人不了解野生动物的重要性,野生动物是在一个贫穷的情况下。我们中国人喜欢吃什么美味,所以有许多动物被猎人杀害。人们喜欢吃老虎,熊,鸟,和狮子,所以有越来越少的鸟在天上飞,越来越少的熊在森林里到处跑。相反,我们经常看到他们在市场出售。他们是多么可怜!我们是多么残酷!

在我看来,我们应该尝试每个可能的方法来保护野生动物。首先,没有人可以伤害任何野生动物。其次,有关当局应该惩罚那些杀害野生动物。第三,我们应该多注意那些濒危物种保护其不被吃掉。如果我们能这样做,自然必须变得非常漂亮。

The giantPanda(Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ("black-and-white cat-foot") is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wild and over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China[3] (another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221)， with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg (253 pounds)。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg (220 pounds)。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.

Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets.

Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs’ barking at midnight, dogs’ chasing people on the street and so on. What’s more, some animals will transmit some diseases.

In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals at pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.

如今，随着人们生活水平的提高，有些人养成了饲养小动物或家畜作为宠物的习惯。一些养小狗或猫作为他们的宠物，而其他人饲养各种鸟类或鱼类作为他们的宠物。甚至还有一些人饲养蛇和其他不寻常的动物作为他们的宠物。

任何人都有相同的意见，饲养动物作为宠物吗?不，有些人反对将动物作为宠物饲养。对他们，动物有他们自己的权利，生活像人类一样自然。另一方面，人们饲养动物作为宠物的方式对环境有负面影响，如狗的叫声在半夜，狗追逐人在街上等。更甚的是，有些动物会传播某些疾病。

在我看来，我不喜欢养宠物。动物有他们自己的权利，过他们喜欢的生活。我们不应该剥夺他们的自然权利。这样，我们将生活在一个和平的世界中，与其他生物和谐相处。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is clearly shown in the bar chart, the kinds of wild animals have decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average each year, there were only 1.5 million left till 2010.

There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal killing is an important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and a big profit, which can be seen vividly from the right picture. This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion, it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. A national public campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to forbid abuse killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

许多动物都面临灭绝的危险。显然这个柱状图所示,野生动物的种类急剧下降在过去的几十年。每年平均30000野生动物减少,只剩下150万到2010。

占这个问题有几个原因。除了环境污染和自然灾害,非法捕杀是一个重要的原因。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物对于时尚和一个很大的利润,从右边可以看到生动的画面。这导致了动物的数量急剧减少。

在我看来,我们是时候采取快速行动保护他们。国家公共活动应该推出给动物一个良好的生活环境。此外,政府应该通过一些公司法律禁止虐待杀害。只有用这种方法我们才能与野生动物和谐相处。

In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. Does it matterHas our environment been affected by their absenceHas the quality of our own life been changedThe answer to these questions is “Yes.”

It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks.It will effect all the other creature.

So how can polar bears thrive on their version, seal blubber?

那么,北极熊是如何处理这些高热量食物的呢?

Turns out theyve stocked up on genes that let them clear fats from their blood.

结果显示它们储存在遗传基因里的信息使得它们能够清除血脂。

Thats according to a study in the journal Cell.

这是根据《细胞》杂志上的一篇研究得出的结论。

Polar bears are well adapted to life on the sea ice.

北极熊非常适应在浮冰上的生活。

Up to half their body weights fat, which gives them extra insulation and buoyancy, and provides them with a ready source of energy.

几乎占它们身重一半的脂肪足以使它们保暖并且维持体力，提供给它们一种易转化的能量。

But how can an animal so fat also be so fit?

但一种动物怎么能又胖又健康?

Researchers compared the genomes of polar bears with those of brown bears, and found that polar bears have accumulated genetic changes that boost their heart health and fat metabolism.

研究人员们通过比较北极熊和棕熊的基因，发现北极熊的基因组中积累了不少有利于心脏健康和脂肪代谢的遗传突变。

One gene in particular, called ApoB, helps move cholesterol out of the blood—where it causes problems in humans—and into cells.

特别是编码为载脂蛋白B的基因有助于清除血液中对人类有害的胆固醇转变成细胞代谢。

These genomic changes happened quickly, evolutionarily speaking.

这些遗传变化从进化的角度来讲发生的十分快。

Polar bears and brown bears diverged from a common ancestor less than half a million years ago.

北极熊和棕熊都来自于同一个祖先，它们是在大约50万年前左右开始向不同分支进化。

But if that seems super speedy, the ability to digest lactose didnt spread through human populations until we domesticated cows, just 10,000 years ago.

但是如果这种变化看上去十分快速的话，消化乳糖的酶逐渐进化到人类各个种群中也还是发生在大概1万年前我们可以驯化乳牛之后。
