A语篇解读本文讲述了越来越多的鸟来到青海湖,当地政府的保护措施使这个地方成为鸟类的天堂。政府向人们普及鸟类保护法,号召人们保护鸟类。1.C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“More and more birds are flying to settle in Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection effor
37、ts of the local government.”以及下文可知,越来越多的鸟飞到青海湖栖息一方面是由于当地政府对环境保护所做出的努力,另一方面是因为那里有充足的食物来源,也就是说那里的环境越来越适合鸟类生存。2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The two islands have massive floating grass and various fish, offering rich food sources to birds.”可知,两个岛上有丰富的水草与各种鱼类,为鸟类提供了丰富的食物。3.D推理判断题。根据第四、五段及第一段中的“thanks to the protectio
