九、阅读理解
A group of 15 Asian elephants was making its way north across China for over a year. After traveling nearly 500 kilometers 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.
1.Paragraph 1 tells the facts about the Asian elephants EXCEPT .
A. why they left their homes
B. where they moved towards
C. how long they walked
D. how many members they had
2.Where did the elephants live before they moved away
A. In the north of Asia. B. In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.
C. In the north of China. D. In Yunnan's capital, Kunming.
3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2
A. The elephants liked the journey very much.
B. The green lights stopped the elephants' journey.
C. The journey was successful for the elephants.
D. There were lights on the legs of the elephants.
4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The city people were ready to welcome the elephants.
B. No ways were fit to stop the elephants from moving.
C. The government didn't allow people to hurt the elephants.
D. Many people were paying attention to these elephants.
5.What's the best title for this passage
A. The journey of 15 elephants B. The reason to have a journey
C. The way to protect the elephants D.15 Asian elephants are in danger
【答案】ABCDA
【解析】 一群亚洲象离家一年多,跋山涉水,穿行将近500千米,引起了社会各界的广泛关注。本文简单介绍了这群亚洲象的行动轨迹及现状。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“And nobody was quite sure why.”可知,没有人确切地知道大象群迁徙的原因,因此选A。
2.B 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Ever since they left their home in the Xishuang-banna National Nature Reserve…”可知,在迁徙之前,这些大象生活在云南的西双版纳,因此选B。
3.C 句意理解题。“at each leg of their journey”意为“在它们的每一段旅程中”;“with green lights”意为“一路绿灯;一切顺利”。因此选C。
4.D 推理判断题。本段主要介绍了云南森林消防总队的8个人24小时跟随大象群,无人机也始终监护着大象群,15头大象成了网络明星,由此可推断很多人在关注着大象群,因此选D。
5.A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一群亚洲象的行动轨迹及现状,而非迁徙原因、保护措施和危险。因此选A。
B 阅读还原

A group of 15 Asian elephants was making its way north across China for over a year. After traveling nearly 500 kilometers 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.
