46、Dodo是滅絕的動物之一，再根據最后一段中的“TheBali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct”句可得出其他幾種。3. C細節理解題。文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的藥用價值。4. D判斷題。從第四段中的“The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. ” 一句可得出“世界野生動物基金”的圖案標記是“大熊貓”，而不是“鯨”。5. B主旨大意題。本文主要講的就是瀕臨滅絕的幾種動物，因此答案為 DB篇1. B。通讀全文可

47、知，因為獅子經常吃掉Masai人的牲口，所以 Masai人殺死獅子從而導致獅子的數量減少， 在“捕食性動物補償方t劃”實施之后，Masai人得到了補償所以不再殺害獅子，所以文章主要是關于 Masai人與獅子之間的關系。2. D。本文雖然主要談論了 “捕食性動物補償計劃”怎樣保護獅子，但該計劃并非只是為了 保護獅子。第四段中的We re trying to find ways in which the wildlife will becomesomething useful to them. 說明“捕食性動物補償計劃”是為了保護所有野生動物的。3. Do 從 For generations. M
