Question

【題目】Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

“ Millions of animals die each year on the U. S. roads, ” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots , an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.

“Eco-passages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “ These ecopassages can be extremely useful，so that wildlife can avoid road accidents ,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.

Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal over-pass ！

【解析】

【1】 推理判斷題�？疾檎擖c與論據(jù)的關(guān)系，根據(jù)第三段，作者舉豹貓的例子是為了說明每年數(shù)百萬的動物死在路上，故答案A是正確的。

【2】事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段的解釋可知，eco-passage指的是專門為動物通過馬路而設(shè)立的通道，故答案選C。

【3】猜測詞義題。生態(tài)通道的建造者通過在通道上或四周植樹使得通道看上去像一個很自然的區(qū)域，接著下句說不少動物使用了這種通道，故答案選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，游客或司機在有野生動物的區(qū)域的時候，環(huán)顧四周可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)通道上有野生動物，故答案選D。

【5】主旨大意題。文章主要講述了建造生態(tài)通道保護野生動物，因此主要是介紹了一種保護野生動物的新方法，故答案選C。
