30、杀狼，然而后来国家通过法律保护狼，因此前后为转折关系。but也可表示转折，但but是连词，不用逗号分开。2解析：选B此空从前文 “because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sports” 得出。3解析：选D有的人捕杀狼是为了它们的皮。4解析：选A因为有法律保护狼，因此狼的数量增加了。5解析：选D从空后的“their own food _”看，本空应该填“毁灭”。6解析：选A狼太多了，它们破坏了自己的食物供应。7解析：选B下文中的 “People there also hunt deer .” 等一系列关于鹿的叙述为重要提示。8解析：选C
31、文章一直在探讨食物链的问题，上下文中几处有“food”这一重要线索。9解析：选B在此A有较大干扰性，作者说寒冷的冬季及食物的变化对鹿伤害极大，但还不至于死亡。下一句“当鹿找不到食物时，它们就会死亡”也能说明这一点。10解析：选D气候的寒冷和植物的变化。11解析：选C鹿找不到足够的食物便会死亡。12解析：选B如果狼继续杀死大量的鹿，鹿总有一天会灭绝，狼也会。13解析：选A从空后的 “some day” 看，作者在讲述未来的结果，联系空前的内容，鹿有一天会灭绝。14解析：选C基于上面的原因，我们应该改变这样的食物圈。15解析：选A在此B有较大干扰性，keep . from 意思是“阻止做某事”，而
32、save . from 意思是“从中把挽救出来”。16解析：选D从下文我们得知，如果狼得不到足够的鹿，它们就会去袭击鸡等，因此保护好鹿，也会使 some farm animals 得到保护。17解析：选Dhare 的意思是“野兔”，它不是农场的动物，因此B不合题意；在C、D两项中，cows是较容易捕杀的，因此D为最佳答案。18解析：选Cwant the United States government to do 符合句意。A、D两项显然不合题意，insist 构成的搭配为 insist on doing, 而不可以是 insist sb. to do sth. 。19解析：选A从空后的 “t
33、o study the problem” 可知答案。20解析：选B他们认为在有的地区捕杀狼而在数量少的地方保护狼是有必要的。.语篇解读：怎样才能查出野生大熊猫的准确数量呢？本文介绍了科学家们采用的一些科学方法。1解析：选D句意理解题。句子的意思是“比大熊猫数量更为重要的是如何保护它们及它们的栖息地”，这就是说大熊猫的数量很重要，但是在调查时要注意保护它们及它们的栖息地。2解析：选D细节理解题。在调查大熊猫的数量时，科学家们要“. note a bit of panda fur left on the bark of a tree, a panda paw print in the mud, o
34、r . panda droppings”，因为这些东西是调查大熊猫踪迹的重要线索。3解析：选B细节理解题。最后一段说到了未消化的竹子对于确定大熊猫的数量非常重要，因为上面还残留着大熊猫的咀嚼痕迹，而每一只大熊猫的咀嚼尺寸是不同的，有多少个不同的尺寸就大体上有多少只大熊猫。4解析：选A标题归纳题。全文内容都与调查大熊猫的数量有关：第一段讲的是调查的结果，第二段讲的是调查时要注意的事项，第三段讲的是调查的方法，最后一段讲的是调查的主要线索。语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要描述了新一代萌物瓦莱黑鼻羊显著的特征，萌态十足，跃然纸上。5解析：选B词义猜测题。由原句可知“dual-purpose”与后面的
35、“wool as well as meat”是对应的，dual有“双的，两部分”的含义，因此与B项近义。6解析：选C文章出处题。纵观全文，文中加入了太多的个人喜好、个人情感，特别是第一段和最后一段尤为明显，因此很可能出自个人博客。7解析：选D段落大意题。由最后一段的最后一句话“I do believe we need to see more of these incredibly pretty sheep！” 可以知道答案为D。8解析：选C细节理解题。由第一段可知A项说法太绝对化；瓦莱黑鼻羊是实际存在的，B项错误；由最后一段可知，在一些民俗等主题的纪录片里瓦莱黑鼻羊曾经露过面，并非是在庆祝传统节日时，所以D项错误；由第一段最后一句“I think they ought to be more well-known”以及本文最后一句可知C项是正确的。
