36、ttle. 是指马赛人与动物们争抢食物。动物们猎杀他们饲养的牛, 他们就杀死这些动物以此来减少损失, 这句并不是说马赛人猎杀狮子是为了吃它们的肉。4. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。从最后一段第二句可知现在如果有狮子或别的食肉类动物杀死了他们的牛, 他们就可以从“捕食性动物补偿基金”里获得补偿, 所以他们没必要再杀狮子了。5. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。从为了保护牲口不得已而杀狮子, 到得到补偿后同意保护狮子, 都显示了马赛人是很通情达理的。【文章大意】本文主要介绍了五种野生动物及其(濒临)灭绝的原因。6. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。从文章中的“flightless, easily control
37、led”等词可推测出嘟嘟鸟缺少保护自己的能力。7. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681. ”一句可判断Dodo是灭绝的动物之一, 再根据最后一段中的“the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct”一句可得出其他几种。8. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的药用价值。9. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。从第四段中的“The f
38、uture of the WWFs symbol is far from certain. ”一句可得出“世界自然保护基金组织”的图案标志是“大熊猫”, 而不是“鲸”。10. 【解析】选B。文章结构题。针对五种野生动物介绍, 内容不尽相同, 有的介绍了人们为什么猎取它们; 有的介绍了这些野生动物剩余的数量; 有的介绍了对于猎取野生动物的惩罚手段, 但有一点是相同的, 即: 嘟嘟鸟灭绝的原因以及其他四种野生动物濒临灭绝的原因。【文章大意】本文主要介绍在天气寒冷的时候, 怎样使你的宠物又暖和又安全。宠物也喜欢待在温暖的室内。如果需要让它们待在户外, 一定要多留心, 给它们提供良好的住所、饮用水等。
39、11. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。结合第一段的“Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. ”可推知宠物也像人们一样, 喜欢待在温暖的环境中, 因此选D。A项中的“被主人忘记”, 与原文的“忘记它们喜欢温暖的地方”不一致; B项是人们的错误的认识; 没有提到C项。12. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。结合第二段的“When youre cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. ”可知是如果你感到冷了, 这个时
