1、Section Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary课前自学导引拯救藏羚羊1994年1月一个滴水成冰的寒冷日子,杰桑索南达杰发现了他一直寻找的目标一群正在杀害濒临灭绝的藏羚羊的偷猎者。杰桑知道,他必须迅速行动。他大声地喊叫着,要偷猎者放下武器。偷猎者虽然感到惊慌,但他们占着人多的优势。在接下来的枪战中,杰桑被击中身亡。几小时后,人们发现了他冻僵的尸体,手中仍然紧握着枪。他为拯救藏羚羊献出了生命。20世纪初期,青藏高原上有数百万只藏羚羊。截止到20世纪90年代,藏羚羊的数目下降到了大约5万只。原因很简单:藏羚羊毛是世上最昂贵的毛皮。它又软又轻又暖和,是高海拔
2、地区动物赖以生存的理想皮毛。一条藏羚羊毛织成的披肩(名为“沙图什”,即波斯语中的“众毛之王”),能卖到5,000美元。这对偷猎者来说利润是丰厚的。那些偷猎者常常是夜里出动,一次就捕杀掉整群的藏羚羊,只留下那些毛不怎么值钱的幼崽。这些被猎杀的藏羚羊被就地剥皮,羊毛被运送到印度。在那里,藏羚羊毛被织成披肩,然后出口到北美和欧洲的富裕国家。这种贸易是完全违法的,自1975年以来一直被禁止。但到了20世纪90年代,这种藏羚羊毛披肩在有钱人中间流行开来,成为时尚。在伦敦,警察在对一家商店的一次突击搜查中竟发现138条披肩。这就意味着有大约1,000只藏羚羊被猎杀约占全球总数的2%。20世纪90年代,中国
3、政府开始积极开展可可西里自然保护区的藏羚羊保护工作。可可西里自然保护区是青藏高原的一个大型国家公园,是藏羚羊的主要栖息地。在接下来的十年中,大约有3,000多名偷猎者被抓获和300辆汽车被没收。有时,还会发生枪战。杰桑索南达杰就牺牲在这类枪战中。如今,政府似乎正在赢得这场战争,偷猎者的人数下降了。工作在保护区的政府官员们得到了来自全国各地的、愿意忍受海拔5,000米以上恶劣生活环境的志愿者们的支持。同时,在那些出售藏羚羊毛披肩的国家,警方开始严厉打击藏羚羊毛披肩的贩卖者。国际合作也见成效。自1997年以来,藏羚羊的数目已开始慢慢回升。课堂合作探究破解重点词汇Pollution from the
