举例

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North American, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).

In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. 

About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 

 

28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?

A. Loss of wetlands.

B. Popularity of water sports.

D. Distribute.

30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?

A. The stamp price has gone down.

B. The migratory birds have flown away.

D. The government has collected money.

31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story

B. The National Wildlife Refuge System

C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl

D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

 

【答案】28. A        29. C       30. D        31. A

【解析】本文为说明文，讲述了为解决湿地减少导致赖以生存的水禽锐减这一问题，美国政府于1934年通过《候鸟狩猎印花税法案》，采取坚定措施保护候鸟及湿地，并通过the Federal Duck Stamp Program（联邦鸭票计划）来帮助保护湿地。

28. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.”可知，湿地的丧失造成了水禽数量的减少，故选A。

29. 词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句“Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.”及第四句“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen.”可知，这些探险者和定居者只花了几十年的时间就毁掉了这些资源的很大一部分，故选C。

30. 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.”及第三段第一句“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat...”可知，政府筹集了资金，故选D。

31. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了湿地受到破坏，水禽的数量减少，于是通过the Federal Duck Stamp Program（联邦鸭票计划）来帮助保护湿地，故选A。
