B
One day in Arkansas,some fishermen saw a bear cub(幼崽) in a tree hole.As hours went by,its mother didn’t return.So they called wildlife biologist Eastridge.The bear cub was sick and hungry,weighing only five pounds and with his eyes not completely open.Eastridge called Lisa Stewart,who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee.
Stewart named the bear Miracle because she thought it was a miracle that he had survived!When the cub arrived,Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house by himself.Since Miracle was already five months old,Stewart gave him bowls of food and another bowl of a special formula(配方奶),similar to a bear mother’s milk.But he didn’t eat much.
Miracle was too weak to be with other bears.So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy.Miracle adopted Buddy right away.He took it into his house and covered it with straw.He fed Buddy,too.Now that Miracle had Buddy,he came out of his house more often and wanted to eat.
Two months later,Stewart introduced Miracle to other bears so they could learn from one another.She avoided any direct contact(接触) with Miracle and other bears.Stewart wanted to make sure that they stayed afraid of humans so that they could go back into the wild again.She always hid behind a fence and threw food over the top secretly.The bears hunted for this food as they would soon do in the wild.
Five months later,Rick Eastridge returned to pick up a healthy 90-pound Miracle and another bear Rocky and transported them back to the wild.As soon as the bear boxes were opened,the two cubs ran for the woods—where they belonged.
5.The fishermen called Eastridge because they found .
A.a bear that was rarely seen
B.a bear cub dying in a tree
C.a poor bear cub without its mother
D.a bear mother giving birth to a baby
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段前四句可知,有一天在Arkansas州,一些渔民看到一只熊的幼崽在树洞中。几个小时过去了,它的妈妈还没有回来。因此他们打电话给野生动物学家Eastridge。小熊幼崽生病了而且处于饥饿状态,体重只有5磅,眼睛不能完全睁开。由此可知,渔民们打电话给Eastridge是因为他们发现了一只可怜的、没有妈妈的小熊幼崽。
6.How did Stewart treat the bear cub
A.She performed a miracle for him.
B.She helped him get close to humans.
C.She let him stay alone in a house safely.
D.She fed him with a bear mother’s milk.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“put him in a house by himself”及第三段中的“Miracle was too weak to be with other bears.”可知,奇迹太弱小了,不能和其他熊待在一起;她将他安全地单独放在一个房子里。
7.What does the underlined word “adopted” mean
A.Attacked.
B.Got away from.
C.Competed with.
D.Regarded...as his child.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词下文可知,他将它(Buddy)带入他的房间并用稻草盖住它。他还给Buddy喂食。由此可知,奇迹立刻收养了Buddy,画线词adopted原形为adopt,意为“收养”。
8.Why did Stewart avoid any direct contact with the bears
A.To prevent bacterial infection.
B.She was afraid they would bite her.
C.To prepare them for returning to the wild.
D.She knew they were afraid of humans very much.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She avoided any direct contact with Miracle...so that they could go back into the wild again.”可知,她避免与奇迹和其他的熊有任何直接接触。Stewart想要确保他们保持害怕人类的状态,这样他们就能够再次回归野外。由此可知,Stewart避免与熊有任何直接接触是为帮助它们回归野外做好准备。
