News Report Three

Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past

few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging

on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. 【5】 Continuous

fighting in the region has made surveys difficult. 【6】But

scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard

evidence, the discovery of “lost lions”. A team with Oxford

University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by

a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in

the National Park in northwest Ethiopia, on the Ethiopia-Sudan

border.【7】The researchers set out six camera traps capturing

images of lions, and identified lion tracks. The scientists

concluded that lions are also likely to live in the neighbouring

National Park across the border in Sudan. The International

Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the

area a “possible range” for the species, and local people had

reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented

convincing evidence.

has made it difficult to survey lions in remote parts

of Sudan and Ethiopia?

5. A) The lack of clues about the species. B) Endless

fighting in the region. C) Inadequate funding for research.

D) The hazards from the desert. 【答案】B

【解析】本题为细节题， 由【5】 Continuous fighting in the

region has made surveys

difficult.可知：在这一地区不断的战争使调查很困难，a选项是缺

乏物种的线索，c选项是研究证

据不充分，d选项来自沙漠的危险，本题难点在于对原文理解以及弄

懂各个选项的意思。因此正确答案为B选项。

was the main purpose of the research?

6. A) To observe the wildlife in the two national parks.

B) To study the habitat of lions in Sudan and Ethiopia. C)

To identify the reasons for the lions’ disappearance. D) To

find evidence of the existence of the “lost lions”.

第7页共56页

【答案】D

【解析】本题为主旨题，做该类题需要对整个新闻讲述的内容有全面

的了解，能够提炼出文章的主题，知道发生了什么事情，或者文章的主题

内容，对于英语听力基础不太好的同学，本体容易选错。 由【6】But

scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard

evidence, the

discovery of “lost lions”.可知：但是科学家在周一公开报告文

档中指出，发现了消失的狮子

的确切证据，d选项是对红色划线部分的同义转换，c选项说的是找

到狮子消失的原因，不是文章的主旨，为干扰选项。因此正确答案为D选

项。

did the researchers find in the National Park?

7. A) Lions’ tracks.

B) Lions walking. C) Some camping facilities. D) Traps set

by local hunters. 【答案】B

【解析】本题为推断题， 由【7】The researchers set out six

camera traps capturing images
