by

in

years”以及第二段中“The

collected

from

32,000

America

and

the

Caribbean

in

particular

have

seen

the

sharpest

fall,having

lost

94%

of

their

wildlife

since

1970.”可知,作者主要想通过列举前三段的数字来展示世界范围内野生动物损失的严重性。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥ2.Accordingtothereport,whatisapossiblesolutiontopopulationdeclineofwildlife?A.Stophuntingandfarming.B.Bantheproductionofwildlifefood.C.Offerlegalprotectionofthenaturalenvironment.D.Replacethefossilfuelswithrenewableenergy.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However,the

systems,urgently

protecting

the

Amazon

rainforest,limiting

B.Stop.C.Fear. D.Suffer.词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的句子“Commenting

on

the

report,Marco

Lambertini,director

general

of

WWF

International,called

the

figures

‘terrifying’”以及“we

need

to

restore

nature”可知,面临野生动物数量急剧下降的情况,我们不仅仅是停止当前的损失,更需要做的是需要去恢复自然。由此可知,画线词halt与stop(停止)意思接近。故选B项。√ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥ4.WhatisLambertini’sattitudetowardswildlifeloss?A.Objective. B.Indifferent.C.Ambiguous. D.Concerned.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The

nature.‘Government

said

Lambertini.‘The

areas

is

becoming

harder

to

find.”以及第二句中的“...but

it’s

unusual

to

find

a
