The bombing campaign in Afghanistan has worsened the environmental disaster that was initiated by years of civil conflict and drought. The country’s remaining forests me being bombed or burned in the search for terrorists, and refugees me clearing forests for fanning and fuel. Afghanistan’s mountains— home to leopards (豹), bears, and Marco Polo sheep—were also at risk. Some refugees were reported to be hunting rare snow leopards to buy a safe passage across the border.
In Tasmania 77 Australian species, including some that had been eliminated on the mainland, were potentially at risk after foxes were introduced, perhaps deliberately by individuals who wanted new game. Wildlife managers were trying to devise ways of killing the foxes without harming native species. A threat to native freshwater species in the eastern U.S. was feared when northern snakehead fish—a species that can survive out of water for several days mid travel over land—were found in a pond in Maryland. A local man evidently had released two of these fish, and they were breeding. In September Maryland wild life officials sprayed poison into the pond where the snakeheads had been found.
On the Hawaiian island, an attempt to bring together a pair of the world’s rarest birds failed in May when the female bird, after being transferred to the territory of the only male, flew back to her own home range without encountering the male. There were only three surviving birds of this kind.
Besides the upsetting stories, some good news may make people relieved. Efforts to save the kakapo—New Zealand’s giant ground-nesting parrot, met with more success. The last surviving birds, brought together on one island, produced 24 chicks, more than in the whole of the previous two decades. This brought the world total to 86 kakapo, compared with 50 in 1995.
Obviously, the burden is heavy and the mad is long, so both the government and the public should pull together and fight for a more colorful and diverse world. [br] Foxes were introduced into Tasmania probably because ______.
选项
A、scale people took them there by chance
B、some people took them there for money
C、some people wanted to have a fox race
D、some people intended to hunt new animals
答案
D
解析
文章第二段提到“... after foxes were introduced, perhaps deliberately by individuals who wanted new game.”狐狸被带进了塔斯马尼亚岛,可能是有人故意这样做的,因为他们想要新的猎物。这句话的关键就是对game一词的理解,game在这里不是比赛、游戏而是猎物的意思,正确的翻译要依靠语境来推断。
