的D
While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of，they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long civil war, the 100,000—acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females
had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area， areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks. A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend. 12. What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 ? A. Illegal hunting. C. A pure coincidence.
B. Constant farming. D. Natural evolution.
13. Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique? A. To get funds by selling ivory. C. To provide food for local people.
B. To develop new weapons. D. To make ivory products.
14. Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants? A. Gorongonsa National Park. C. The Ruaha National Park.
B. South Luangwa National Park. D. Lupande Game Management Area.
15. What does the underlined phrase “the trend”in the last paragraph refer to? A. Elephants facing greater danger. B. Elephants growing more slowly. C. Fewer female elephants staying alive. D. More female elephants being tuskless. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了研究人员认为，由于不断猎杀大象以获取有价值的象牙，我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化——越来越多的母象没有象牙。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第一段The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.（研究人员认为，由于不断猎杀大象以获取有价值的象牙，我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化。）由此可知，第一段所述现象的可能原因是非法狩猎，故选A。 【13题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第二段However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers.由此可知在莫桑比克内战期间，人们杀死那么多大象是为了通过出售象牙来获得资金，故选A。 【14题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第三段A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.可知关于无牙大象的最早记录是在Ruaha国家公园，故选C。 【15题详解】
推理判断题。划线词所在的句子However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend.意思是:然而，科学家们并不确定无牙雌象比例较高的大象需要多长时间才能改变这一趋势。所以the trend指的是更多的母象没有象牙，故选D。
【点睛】通过对关键词，关键短语或者是关键的句子的把握是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法之一，它们往往隐藏着深层的意思。小题2答案定位在第二段However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers.其中to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers.是关键词，由此可知在莫桑比克内战期间，人们杀死那么多大象是为了通过出售象牙来获得资金，故选A。
