Ⅲ. 阅读理解

A UK charity has helped rescue two baby orangutans (猩猩) who were found by the police in West Borneo caged and ready to be sold through social media to illegal buyers. A man was arrested for the illegal deals of wildlife both directly and by using online social media sites. The two orangutans, a one-year-old male and an eight-month-old female, who were discovered in tiny cages are now in the care of International Animal Rescue (IAR) at its centre in Ketapang, Borneo.

A spokeswoman for the charity based in Uckfield, East Sussex, said,“The general condition of the two orangutans is fair, although both are in the state of being in extreme danger and needing urgent help. One of them is rocking back and forth—this is an abnormal behaviour presented by animals in extremely stressful conditions.”

David Muhammad, head of the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry, said the orangutans were captured by a hunter in Sintang, Indonesia, and collected by the arrested man who was selling them for about ￡175. Orangutans in Borneo have experienced rapid declines of up to 60% in the last 50 years, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Bornean orangutan is now declared “critically endangered” as forests shrink. The two new arrivals bring the total number of orangutans in IAR’s centre in Ketapang to 111.

Karmele Llano Sanchez, programme director of IAR Indonesia, said, “Having such a large number of orangutans undergoing rehabilitation(康复), with more having to be rescued, makes it harder and harder to find safe places where we can release them. If we do not address the root cause of the problem, we will never stop the decline of orangutans in the wild.”

1. What can we know about the two baby orangutans from paragraph 1?

A. A charity was the first to find them.

B. The police caged them for safety.

C. They are actually baby twins.

D. They are being well looked after.

解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,猩猩是被警察发现的;在被发现之前就已经被装进笼子里了;根据最后一句可知,两只猩猩不是双胞胎;它们现在由国际动物救援组织照料,故选D。

答案:D

2. Why is one of the two baby orangutans rocking back and forth?

A. It is cheering at its winning freedom again.　

B. It is celebrating its good health condition.

C. Extreme stress tends to make it rock repeatedly.

D. It shows that they need immediate medical care.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“‘One of them is rocking back and forth—this is an abnormal behaviour presented by animals in extremely stressful conditions.’”可知,应选C。

答案:C

3. What causes Bornean orangutans endangered according to paragraph 3?

A. Illegal hunting.

B. Decreasing forests.

C. Wildlife trade.

D. Forest conservation.

解析:细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The Bornean orangutan is now declared ‘critically endangered’ as forests shrink.”可知,随着森林的减少,猩猩处在极度濒危之中。故选B。

答案:B

4. What may be the root cause of the decline of orangutans in the wild?

A. Orangutans have no more safe place to live in.

B. A number of orangutans have not been set free.

C. Lots of orangutans are waiting for urgent rescue.

D. The decline of orangutans is clearly unavoidable.

解析:推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“... makes it harder and harder to find safe places ...”可知,猩猩数量下降的根本原因是它们越来越难找到可以安全生存的地方,故选A。

答案:A
