Ⅲ.阅读理解(20分)
A group of 15 Asian elephants was making its way north across China for over a year. After travelling nearly 500 kilometres northward, they reached the area near Yunnan's capital, Kunming. And nobody was quite sure why.
It's unusual for these animals to take such a journey. Ever since they left their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve(保护区) in the spring of 2020, the elephants have gone into villages and cities. As members of animals under top level protection in China, the elephants were welcomed with green lights at each leg of their journey. They walked into villages, broke into houses and turned taps on to drink. They even visited a car store and showed up at an old people's home, where they reached out their long noses into some of the rooms, causing an old man to hide under his bed.
The Yunnan Forest Fire Brigade(总队) said a team of eight people were following the group 24 hours a day. They were using drones(无人机) as well to watch them from above in the air.The 15 elephants have now become international superstars, with fans around the world watching their journey in social media.
“Asian elephants need to live in warm areas. The further north they travel, the less comfortable the weather will be for them. So we need to guide them toward their home,” a professor said.

A.In the north of Asia.
B.In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.
C.In the north of China.

A.The elephants liked the journey very much.
