Question

【題目】Golden lion tamarins (GLT) are among the most endangered animals on earth. They have fur which ranges in color from reddish orange to golden brown. They are the smallest monkeys in the world，and they weigh only half a kilogram. They move quickly through the forest. Each group of these delightful creatures needs a living space of about two square kilometres of thick forest. They are named after lions because of the ring of fur around their faces. Their only natural habitat(棲息地)is the Atlantic forest in Brazil.

Sadly，it is unusual to see a GLT nowadays，and there are very few of them left because they are hunted for the pet trade. In addition，the rapid expansion in the human population has resulted in the need for more land to grow crops，leaving them homeless.

GLTs live in close family groups. In the1970s，the Brazilian scientist，Eduardo Figueiro， realized what was happening to this rare animal，and began trying to save them，which has been supported by the government. He said，“It's so important to protect the animal，who evolved more than 20 million years ago. The worst problem is that the monkeys cannot travel without tree cover. It is trees that connect these groups. In this way，the monkeys can meet and socialize with each other. " Meanwhile , special patrols(巡邏) have been organized by government in the reserves to prevent hunting and forest fires.

As a result of these actions，the number of GLTs has grown to about 1500. There are also another 450 living in zoos throughout the world. Here they can be seen living in happy and close family groups，with the male gently taking much of the responsibility for the young.

【2】According to Figueiro，to save GLTs the most important thing is to .

【3】What can be inferred from the text

A. GLTs are dying out nowadays.

B. Some GLTs feed on tree leaves.

C. Some GLTs are living in the Atlantic forest.

D. Brazil has been taking active actions to save GLTs.

【4】We can conclude from the text that zoos

B. have taken a key role in the pet trade of GLTs

C. are helping raise GLTs to increase their population

D. catch GLTs and kill them cruelly to get their fur

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】本文屬于自然科學(xué)閱讀文章。主要介紹了金獅狨（GLT)的身體和生活特性以及它們現(xiàn)在的生存狀況：寵物買賣和農(nóng)業(yè)開發(fā)導(dǎo)致金獅狨成為世界瀕危動物。人類開始覺得應(yīng)該保護該功物：多種樹，建立金獅狨保護區(qū)等，同時，動物園也行動起來，擔當起保護金獅狨的責任。

【1】主旨大意題。第一段主要談到了金獅狨是世界上最小的猴子、重約半公斤、過群居生活， 每個群需要兩平方公里的茂密森林空間以及其毛發(fā)顏色和唯一的棲息地等信息，綜合起來， 談的就是金獅狨的特征。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。第三段“The worst problem is that the monkeys cannot travel without tree cover. It is trees that connect these groups. ”談到金獅狨，最糟糕的問題就是如果沒有樹林，她們就沒辦法活動，群與群之間無法聯(lián)系。由此推知，要拯救金獅狨首要問題是多保留森林。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段Meanwhile , special patrols(巡邏) have been organized by government in the reserves to prevent hunting and forest fires.在20世紀70年代就發(fā) 現(xiàn)了金獅狨這種珍貴動物所面臨的生存問題，于是就開始拯救他們。同時，政府組織專門的 巡邏阻止非法狩獵和預(yù)防森林火災(zāi)，從這些措施來看，巴西在積極采取措施拯救金獅狨。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。在文章最后一段談到 they can be seen living in happy and close family groups,還有公金獅狨柔情地照顧年幼的金獅狨，注意有happy, close和gently等信息，說明 動物園的金獅狨過著快樂的群居生活，由此可推知動物園在從另一方面拯救金獅狨。故選C。
