Question

【題目】 Protecting wildlife has become a tough problem in today’s world. As one of the effort, many countries formulate(制定) related laws to protect wildlife. The need for such protection was realized centuries ago in India.

About 300 BC an India writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The game of killing animals was carefully controlled. Some animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped or killed outside the park.

The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand kinds of animals are in danger of extinction(滅絕), and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been increasing. With mammals(哺乳動(dòng)物), for example, the speed of extinction is now about one kind every year. From AD 1 to 1800, the speed was about one kind every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population(人口).

這是一篇說明文。文章作者講述了動(dòng)物保護(hù)的重要性以及古印度人如何保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物。

【1】

詞義猜測(cè)題。文章第一段第一句話提到當(dāng)今世界Protecting wildlife是個(gè)艱難的問題。第二句話提到很多國(guó)家制定法律來Protecting wildlife。在結(jié)合短文主要內(nèi)容講述了動(dòng)物保護(hù)的重要性以及古印度人如何保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物，此處的Protecting wildlife應(yīng)是“保護(hù)野生動(dòng)動(dòng)物”。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句話The need for such protection was realized centuries ago in India（幾個(gè)世紀(jì)前，印度就意識(shí)到了這種保護(hù)的必要性）和文章第二段About 300 BC an India writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The game of killing animals was carefully controlled. （大約公元前300年，一位印度作家描述的森林有點(diǎn)像今天的國(guó)家公園。獵殺動(dòng)物的比賽受到嚴(yán)格控制）可知，在幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以前印度人就有保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物的要求了。故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段 The game of killing animals was carefully controlled（獵殺動(dòng)物的比賽受到嚴(yán)格控制）可知，古印度人對(duì)于獵殺動(dòng)物的比賽是嚴(yán)格控制的。故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population(世界各地的人們都在努力解決保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物的問題，同時(shí)也在關(guān)心世界上不斷增長(zhǎng)的人口)可知，世界各地人不止關(guān)心野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)問題也關(guān)心不斷增長(zhǎng)的人口問題。故選D項(xiàng)。
