Question

Can we give a hand to those endangered animals? Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.
1. Protect wildlife habitat.
Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.
2. Reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species.
The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (資源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.
3. Place decals (貼花紙) on windows.
It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.
4. Slow down when driving.
Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障礙) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife

CBDC
試題分析：在本文中作者介紹了幾種保護動物的方法。一、保護動物的棲息地，給他們提供生存的空間；二、減少入侵物種的威脅；三、貼窗花以減少鳥類因碰撞窗戶而造成的死亡；四、開車時要留意穿越馬路的動物們。
1.C主旨大意題。文章開頭用自問自答的方式引出保護野生動物這一話題，然后在下文中介紹了幾種具體的做法，所以C選項正確。
2.B推理判斷題。上文講述許多動物的棲息地遭到破壞是野生動物面臨的最大威脅，由此可知我們要保護野生動物，就要使他們的野外生存環(huán)境免受破壞，所以B選項正確。
3.D推理判斷題。根據文中You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.可知貼窗花是為了避免鳥類因撞到窗戶上死亡，所以選D。
4.C詞意猜測題。上文講入侵物種會與當地動物爭奪棲息地，以及食物資源等，再根據句中even可以判斷此處應該是更為嚴重的情況，由此推斷C選項正確。
