Question

【題目】 Have you ever heard of spirit bears? They are endangered members of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is actually born with a spirit bear.

Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbias, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he went into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total of $750000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.

The habitat covers about three acres(英畝) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform(站臺) and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.

Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene for the white fur. If a baby bear receive one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color.

There are about 1200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white spirit bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia. They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and island along the coast of B.C. between Vancouver and Alaska.

【1】According to the second paragraph, Clover ________

A.lost his parents when he was twoB.could not find any food

C.was not afraid of humans ‘D.grew up in the wild

【2】What does the underlined word “habitat” mean?

A.習(xí)慣B.棲息地C.愛好D.農(nóng)場

【3】Which of the following is “TRUE” about Kermode bears?

A.They are smaller than black bear.B.They are mainly found in Britain.

C.They are very unusual.D.There are 1000 white Kermode bears in the world.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本篇介紹黑熊家族中瀕臨滅絕的成員百靈熊。它是少數(shù)黑熊攜帶白色皮毛的基因，如果一只小熊從父母那里得到其中一個(gè)基因，它的皮毛將是乳白色。文章介紹了從小失去父母的百靈熊Clover因?yàn)槿祟惖膿狃B(yǎng)無法適應(yīng)野生的環(huán)境，人們最后為它建了棲息地。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Clove在一歲時(shí)失去父母，在野生動(dòng)物中心長大，到3歲時(shí)，沒法適應(yīng)野生的環(huán)境，總要到人類的營地找吃的東西，可知它沒辦法自己找到吃的；故選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。由上文可知Clover因?yàn)槿祟惖膿狃B(yǎng)無法適應(yīng)野生的環(huán)境，根據(jù)第三段“The habitat covers about three acres(英畝) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else.”—— 人們給它創(chuàng)造了包括天然森林，兩個(gè)由一條小河連接的池塘和一些東西覆蓋三英畝土地，供他生活的地方，由此推斷habitat是指它的棲息地；故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三、四段“Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene for the white fur. …only about 200 white spirit …bears in the world….Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia.”—— 可知Kermode bears是少數(shù)的黑熊攜帶白色毛的基因造成的，目前世界上只有大約200只，主要生存在British Columbia（加拿大的一個(gè)省）；可知百靈熊是珍稀動(dòng)物，故選C。

【4】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。第一段介紹百靈熊是瀕臨滅絕的動(dòng)物；第二、三段介紹在野生動(dòng)物中心長大的百靈熊Clove無法適應(yīng)野外的生存，人類為它建了一塊棲息地；第四五段介紹了科學(xué)家Kermode對百靈熊的基因和生存環(huán)境的研究。故選D。

解答本篇閱讀單選時(shí)，應(yīng)注意題1相對應(yīng)的原文“He lost his parents two years ago”兩年前失去父母，不是它兩歲時(shí)；題4的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)分析，要根據(jù)文字陳述的邏輯關(guān)系來劃分段落。
