2017年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试阅读理解B篇
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
我在蝗虫谷贝利植物园的一个救援和教育组织“野生动物志愿者”工作。试图帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的动物可能会令人心碎；生存从来都不是确定的。然而，当它发挥作用时，它就是美丽的。
我接到了穆顿镇一位女士的救援电话。她发现了一只小猫头鹰(猫头鹰) 在地面上。当我到达时，我看到了一只两三周大的猫头鹰。为了安全起见，它已经被放在一艘航母上了。
我检查了那只小鸡(雏鸟) 看起来很好。如果我能找到巢穴，我可能会把它放回去，但运气不好。我的下一项工作是建造一个巢穴并将其固定在树上。
房主非常乐于助人。发现了一个金属篮。我在篮子里放了一些松枝，使这个巢穴安全舒适。我把小鸡放进窝里，它很快就平静下来了。
现在所需要的只是父母，但他们不在。我给了房主一段猫头鹰小鸡饥饿尖叫的录音。这些广告向成年人宣传小鸡的存在；它们也可能鼓励我们的小鸡也开始打电话。我给了店主尽可能多的信息，然后回家看看晚上会有什么消息。
当然，这是一个紧张的夜晚，但有时大自然的精灵会对我们所有人微笑！房主打电话说父母已经对录音做出了回应。我开车过去，看到窝里的小鸡看起来很健康，很活跃。伴随着它的是窝里最壮观的景象——午餐父母已经尽到了他们的责任，而且可能还会继续这样做。
