D.Fruitful.【解析】选D。细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Thepreviousownersranaverysuccessfulbreedingprogramme,wheremanygiraffesweresetfreeintothewild(以前的主人进行了一个非常成功的繁殖项目,许多长颈鹿被放生到野外。)”可知,他们的保护计划成果明显。3.Whatisthesuitabletitleforthetext?A.Giraffes’breakfastbyguestsB.ReasonsforgiraffeprotectionC.Theworld’sonlygiraffehotelD.Historyofthegiraffemanor【解析】选C。标题归纳题。本文开篇谈到:卡尔哈特雷夫妇通过向世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店的客人开放庄园大门来与公众分享与长颈鹿亲密接触的奇妙经历。客人可以在早餐时喂长颈鹿,也可以从二楼的卧室靠近它们。第二段还谈到:长颈鹿离我们这么近是一件很特别的事,现在人们住在酒店的10个房间的任何一间就能体验到这种感觉。由此可知,C项(世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店)最能体现本文的主题思想。Ⅱ.完形填空Ithinkthatthemostbasicandpowerfulwaytoconnecttoanotherpersonistolisten.Justlisten.Perhapsthemostimportantthingweevergiveeachotherisour1,andespeciallyifit’sgivenfromthe2.Whenpeoplearetalking,there’snoneedtodoanything3listentothem.Justtakethemin.Listentowhatthey’resaying.Careaboutit.Mosttimescaringaboutitisevenmoreimportant4understandingit.
