Question

【题目】 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.

【5】are made of

【解析】

本文介绍了大象处于困境并倡导大家保护大象。

【1】根据第1段第4句Our first flag had a white elephant on it.（我们的第一面国旗上有一只白象。）可知第一面旗上有一头白色的大象；故答案是a white elephant (on it)。

【2】根据第2段第6句They can also remember places with food and water.（他们还可以记住有食物和有水的地方。）可知答案是places with food and water。

【3】根据第3段第2句People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes.（人们砍倒了许多树，大象失去了家园。）可知“许多树木被人砍伐”；故答案是are cut down。

【4】根据下文“*别砍倒那么多树*不要买象牙制品*3月13日是泰国大象节”可知主要是关于“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】根据第3段第3句中We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.（我们必须拯救树木，不要买象牙制品。）可知“不要买象牙制品”；things made of ivory：象牙制品，made of是过去分词做后置定语；be made of：由…制作；things made of ivory可以改成定语从句 things which/that are made of ivory，先行词是things复数，引导词which在定语从句做主语，可知定语从句谓语动词使用复数，可知be动词使用复数are；故答案是are made of。
