  Herds of zebra, impala and giraffe from South Africa’s Kruger Park found a new home as part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park(GLTP)wildlife relocation project.

  About 1000 animals, from the large blue wildebeest to the stocky warthog, have been relocated to the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory.

  The game from South Africa arrived in the Massingir area of Mozambique’s southern Maputo province after a one-and-a-half-hour trip by truck.

  South African National Parks chief executive Mavuso Msimang and the Peace Parks Foundation officially handed over the animals to Mozambican representatives.

  “This project is not only about the management of an ecosystem, but also about community empowerment and tourism,” Msimang said.

  Border fences are coming down with the establishment of the park, which will be the world’s biggest game reserve, to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes.

  The park, due to be officially opened next year, will be bigger than the Netherlands, covering some 38 600 square kilometers(15 440 square miles).

  Under a three-year plan, about 6000 animals are to be moved into the area, where wildlife was decimated(大批杀害)during Mozambique’s 25-year civil war.

  African Wildlife Foundation community development officer Jeremiah Machavi said 62 communities living in the area would be affected by the establishment of Transfrontier Park.Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports.

  The relocation process started in October last year when about 30 elephants were released into the park.

(1)

________ is being established to relocate some African animals.

[  ]

A.

[  ]

(3)

What will NOT be affected by the establishment of GLTP?

[  ]

A.

B.

(4)

From the passage we can conclude that ________.

[  ]

A.

the herds of animals mentioned in the first paragraph were the first to be taken to the park

B.

the Great Limpopo Transfrontier is located in Mozambique

C.

no border fences will be seen inside the park so that animals can migrate

D.

the Netherlands is the second largest reserve

答案:1.B;2.C;3.C;4.C;
解析:

(1)

细节题。从第一段可看出是把这些动物迁往一个名叫the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park(GLTP)的地方。

(2)

细节计算题。从第二段可知有1000只动物,而倒数第三段说“Under a three-year plan, about 6000 animals are to be moved into the area”,因此还有大概5000只动物。

(3)

句意理解题。第二段中“the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory”可见这个park跨越几个国家,但这些国家的边界不变,只是游客在园中游玩时,无需出示过境护照。

(4)

细节判断题。从“Border fences are coming down with the establishment of the park…to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes”可知答案。

  A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study.“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts.I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it.Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

  “Forty.”

  “No, thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

  “Two months and five days.”

  “Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks.And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but-not a word.

  “Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(从事)only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven-nineteen.Take nineteen off…that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars.Correct?”

  Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but-still not a word.

  “Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars.The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but - forget it.When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes.You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it.So, that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”

  “You didn't.” sobbed Julia.

  “But I made a note of it.”

  “Well…if you say so.”

  “Take twenty seven from forty one-that leaves fourteen.”

  Both her eyes were filled with tears.Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!

  “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife.Three dollars, nothing more.”

  “Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen-that leaves eleven.Here's your money, my dear.Three, three, three, one and one.Here it is!”

  I handed her eleven dollars.She took them and pocketed them.

  “Merci(法语:谢谢),”she whispered.

  I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room.I was overcome with anger.“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked.

  “For the money.”

  “But you know I've cheated you-robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

  “In my other places they didn't give me anything at all.”

  “They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you...I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you...Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)-to be such a fool?”

  Embarrassed, she smiled.And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”

  I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out.I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压榨)the weak in this world !”

(1)
