Unit 4 Wildlife protection
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2016·东北育才学校高三联考)
I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film.We set off early for a distant water hole.A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply.He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasnt going to hurry now.Hed drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought.What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.Then he suddenly fell down.Within minutes he was dead.
We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately.He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephants body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)—the result of the elephants meeting with a poacher(偷猎者)months before.
Todays poacher shoots from a blind.He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant.If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two;if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies.Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-it doesnt mean the poison wont finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.
Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time.When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground.I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit—but I couldnt escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.
文章大意:一次拍摄中,作者亲眼目睹了一头被偷猎者箭毒所伤的大象痛苦死去的场景。由此作者谴责了偷猎者的狠毒,呼吁人们保护野生动物。
