15.Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife.But conservation (保護(hù)) of the African elephant faces special difficulties.While the elephant population is half of what it was 40years ago,some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support.That's why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior,protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.
Years ago,overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants'survival.Luckily,ivory bans (禁令),hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation-land-use.Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas.So they often destroy crops,causing conflicts (沖突) between local farmers and these big animals.
Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need.The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior.The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats.And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.

分析 本文主要介紹了非洲象數(shù)量的減少和AWF 為保護(hù)非洲象所做的工作.
解答 25.B段落大意題.文章第一段先談到非洲象的可愛,接著筆鋒一轉(zhuǎn),談到了保護(hù)非洲象工作還面臨許多困難,所以其主要目的是告訴讀者保護(hù)非洲象還有很多的工作要做.故選B.
26.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第三段的"The 21st century brings a-causing conflicts between local farmers and these big ani-mals."可知,對于非洲象的保護(hù)工作,目前面臨最嚴(yán)重的挑戰(zhàn)是大象無法與當(dāng)?shù)剞r(nóng)民和平共處.故選D.
27.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need.以及The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats.And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.可知,AWF有保護(hù)大象棲息地、和農(nóng)民一起提高他們的生活水平和對大象作研究,沒有提到A飼養(yǎng)大象這一條,故選A
28.A主旨大意題.本文主要討論了對非洲象的保護(hù).故A為最佳標(biāo)題.
