While elephants brn withut tusks (长牙)are nt unheard f, they nrmally frm just 2 t 6 percent f the ppulatin. Hwever, that is nt the case at Mzambique’s Grngsa Natinal Park, where an astnishing 33 percent f female elephants brn after the cuntry’s cnflict ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear t be just a cincidence, Jyce Ple, an elephant behavir expert, has anther thery. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evlutin f the species due t the cnstant hunting f elephants fr valuable ivry.
Ple says befre the cuntry’s 15-year-lng cnflict, the park was hme t ver 4, 000 elephants. Hwever, by the time the cnflict ended in 1992, abut 90 percent f them had been killed fr ivry t get mney. Of the less than 200 survivrs, ver 50 percent f adult females had n tusks. Therefre, it is nt surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant ppulatin has grwn greatly.
This is nt the first time researchers have bserved a great change in the ppulatin f elephants. At Zambia’s Suth Luangwa Natinal Park and Lupande Game Management Area, areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% f elephants 25 years ld r lder and 13% f thse yunger than 25 are nw withut tusks. A 2008 study published in the African Jurnal f Eclgy fund that the number f tuskless females at the Ruaha Natinal Park in Tanzania went frm 10. 5 percent in 1969 t almst 40 percent in 1989, largely due t illegal hunting fr ivry.
The recent ban n ivry in bth the US and China shuld help get rid f, r at least reduce, elephant hunting. Hwever, scientists are nt sure hw lng it will take fr elephants with a higher rate f tuskless females, t change the trend.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。1992年, 在莫桑比克的Grngsa国家公园, 有33%的雌象出生时就没有长牙, 大象行为专家认为, 这是由人们为了获得珍贵的象牙而对大象进行持续不断地猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。
32. What is the prbable cause f the phenmenn mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. Illegal hunting. B. Cnstant farming.
C. A pure cincidence. D. Natural evlutin.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知, 这位研究人员认为, 由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙, 我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化。据此可知, 第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀, 故A项正确。
33. Why did peple kill s many elephants during the cnflict in Mzambique?
A. T get mney by selling ivry.
B. T develp new decratins.
C. T prvide fd fr lcal peple.
D. T make ivry prducts.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知, 人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获利, 故A项正确。
34. Which f the fllwing had the earliest recrd n tuskless elephants?
A. Grngsa Natinal Park.
B. Suth Luangwa Natinal Park.
C. Ruaha Natinal Park.
D. Lupande Game Management Area.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知, 在莫桑比克的Grngsa国家公园, 在1992年有33%的雌象出生时无长牙; 根据第三段最后一句可知, Ruaha国家公园在1969年有10. 5%的无长牙雌象, 到1989年时, 有大约40%的无长牙雌象; 据此可知, Ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区, 故C项正确。
35. What des the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Elephants facing greater danger.
B. Elephants grwing mre slwly.
C. Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D. Mre female elephants being tuskless.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句可知, 最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令, 这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀; 结合该段第二句可知, 科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知, 画线词指代“更多的雌象没有长牙”这一趋势, 故D项正确。
