Question

9．In the winters of 2012 and 2013，National Geographic grantee （被批準人） Anders Angerbjorn and his Ph．D．student，Rasmus Erlandsson，studied an extremely threatened species，the Scandinavian arctic fox，The current population numbers are fewer than 150 individuals in mainland Europe so many of the young foxes are having difficulty finding a non-related partner．Other threats to the species include competition from the red fox for the rare small rodents （嚙齒目動物） they both depend upon for food．Angerbjorn and Erlandsson monitored the arctic fox population in Vasterbotten and Norrbotten，Sweden，to identify the best areas for further conservation actions．This included tagging （貼標簽于） the baby foxes，which proved to be a challenge．
"When catching arctic foxes it is easy to believe that the smaller ones are the easiest to handle．In some aspects it is true．Their teeth are smaller and the jaws less powerful．However，just as human children have a hard time keeping still，the really small cubs （幼獸） do too．"
"We handle the foxes in a bag while tagging，and the trick is to keep the animal still between your legs while kneeling．And here comes the tricky part．How do you keep a small，wild fox still？You cannot apply too much force．You really do not want to hurt it．Just as with small children the best tool is patience，but at the same time you want the handling to be as short as possible．"
"One particular cub had a technique I had never experienced before as it continuously tried to turn onto its back，for no obvious reason．I had to reach the ears，so I quickly turned the cub upright．The cub stayed still for a few seconds，and then began to roll onto its back again．The same thing happened over and over again!Finally，I got the tags in place，and after making measurements and taking some samples，I finally let it go．"

25．According to the text，the red foxD．
A．looks like the arctic fox                            
B．is an endangered species
C．needs more conservation actions                
D．competes with the arctic fox for food
26．What does the underlined word"This"in Paragraph 1 refer to？B
A．Providing food for the arctic fox．
B．Checking the number of the arctic fox．
C．Building conservation areas for the arctic fox．
D．Helping the arctic fox find a non-related partner．
27．Human children are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to explain thatC．
A．kids love the arctic fox                             
B．baby foxes can be dangerous
C it is difficult to tag baby foxes                          
D．the smaller foxes are easier to handle
28．To tag small cubs，Angerbjorn and Erlandsson had to beB．
A．brave                  
B．patient                           
C．creative                  
D．strong．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了為了更好地了解一些動物的數(shù)量，科學家需要給動物貼上標簽，這是一個需要耐性的活．

解答 DBCB
25．D 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"Other threats to the species include competition from the red fox for the rare small rodents （嚙齒目動物） they both depend upon for food"可知，紅狐與北極狐爭奪食物．故選D．
26．B 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"Angerbjorn and Erlandsson monitored the arctic fox population in Vasterbotten and Norrbotten"可知，"this"指的是檢查北極狐的數(shù)量．故選B．
27．C 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"However，just as human children have a hard time keeping still，the really small cubs （幼獸） do too"可知，第二段是為了舉例說明很難給好動的小狐貍標上標簽．故選C．
28．B 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"The same thing happened over and over again!"可知，為了給小狼崽貼上標簽，需要很大的耐性．故選B．

點評 閱讀理解考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
