Answer 1

分析 這篇文章屬于科普說明文，主要介紹了貓科動物--獵豹，并呼吁大家來保護這種瀕臨滅絕的動物．

解答 31．B  觀點態(tài)度題    根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Cheetah cubs（babies） are cute，furry，energetic，and downright lovely．作者用一些褒義的詞來修飾獵豹，說明作者對它們的關心欣賞．
32．C  判斷推理題   根據(jù)文章第三段飼養(yǎng)員的話"They're pretty quick，""Whenever they see something moving，they take off an  run．"可知，飼養(yǎng)員是客觀地對獵豹進行描述．
33．A  主旨大意題   本文主要介紹了獵豹這種有趣的動物．其它選項在文章中也有出現(xiàn)，都是屬于細節(jié)敘述，但不能概括文章大意．
34．D  判斷推理題   根據(jù)最后一段Cheetahs are endangered animals．Today，cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert．Just 12，000 to 15，000 now live in the wild．可推斷出作者號召大家保護這種瀕臨滅絕的物種--獵豹．

點評 對于這種科普類文章，如果平時對背景知識有所了解的話，做題會相對容易一些．獵豹我們應該比較熟悉，是世界上跑得最快的陸地動物．做題時注意作者的態(tài)度，根據(jù)一些形容詞就可以判斷，如31題，判斷推理題應該根據(jù)文章進行合理恰當?shù)耐评�，不能主觀臆斷；主旨大意題根據(jù)全文進行歸納，不能以偏概全，如33題的選項BCD就是如此．
