56、 injured or killed ”，当动物以看似友好的方式与人类互动时，它 们可能在人类面前会放松警惕，这样导致如果有捕猎者的情况下，动物也会放松警惕，对捕 猎者没有惧怕心理，导致他们受伤或死亡。所以在其他情况下，他们可能会变得更加大胆。 因此可以猜测，bolder意思为“更大胆的，更不惧怕的”。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。文章第四段中提到"The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that

57、 may make them bolder.（人类的存在也能阻 止天敌的入侵。它为较小的动物创造了一种安全的地方，这可能会使它们更加大胆。）”下 文提到在游客很多的地方，叉角羚不那么警惕，而是花更多的时间吃东西。作者举这个例子 是为了说明人类的存在使小动物们放松警惕，降低了他们对潜在危险的意识。故选D。【10题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第二段提出“and those changes may put them at risksuch trips can be harmful to the animals.M与人类的存在会改变动物的行为方式，使他们处于危险中生态旅游对动物有害：第三段提出 “

59、quot;与人互动会导致不同物种的特征发生巨大变化。由此可知，文章是关于生态旅 游对野生动物带来的害处。标题应该为“生态旅游会把野生动物置于危险之中”。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every year, students across the U.K.engage in the annual ritual （仪式）of telling college and university admissions officers why they deserve a seat at the school of their choice.However. this task is filled with anxiety and fear. 11 This, of course, leads many to ask the question: How shou
