Question

Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.

In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century, only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (東北虎) was about 300, but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger of dying out. If the government does nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.

In order to stop people from hunting and killing wild tigers, and in order to make wild tigers more, the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金會) has started a program (項目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.

However, it’s not enough. Remember that nature is a food chain (鏈). If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饑餓). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat. In order to protect the wild tigers, we need call on (號召) more people to stop eating, hunting and killing wild animals.

【答案】

1.A

2.C

3.D

4.B

5.A

【解析】

試題分析：老虎是強大而危險的動物，但現在它們正處于危險之中。他們面臨滅絕的危險。記住,自然界是食物鏈。如果我們傷害和殺死太多野生鹿、豬，野生老虎會因為饑餓消亡。所以最重要的是拯救老虎賴以為食的動物。為了保護野生老虎,我們需要停止進食,狩獵和殺害野生動物。

1.細節(jié)理解題。 由“In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century, only five were left. （在過去,世界上有八種老虎。但是在20世紀,只剩下五種。）”原來有8種，現在只剩5種了，所以有三種滅絕了，故選A。

2.細節(jié)理解題。由“The number of Siberian tigers (東北虎) was about 300, but now it is less than 22.（以前西伯利亞虎的數量(東北虎)約為300,但現在還不到22只。）”由此可推算出，有93%的東北虎死去了。故選C。

3.細節(jié)理解題。由“Remember that nature is a food chain . If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger .( 記住,自然界是食物鏈。如果我們傷害和殺死太多野生鹿、豬，野生老虎會因為饑餓消亡。)”老虎以食物鏈中的豬和鹿為食，沒有足夠的豬和鹿，就會危及老虎的生存，故選D。

4.細節(jié)理解題。由“the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金會) has started a program (項目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.”可知，是中國和12個其他國家參與了世界自然基金會組織的某個項目，而不是只有12個國家加入世界自然基金會，故選B。

5.主題歸納題。根據文章的介紹可知，作者主要描述了老虎的處境和人們如何采取措施保護老虎，所以選 A（最佳題目是：為何和如何保護老虎）。

考點：野生動物保護類閱讀。
