On the Trial of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert,a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey
badgers(灌).The team employed a local wildlife expert,Kitso Khama,to help them locate and follow the
badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers'movements and behaviour as discreetly
(谨慎地)as possible,without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behaviour. They
also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them.In view of the animal's reputation,
this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
"The problem with honey badgers is that they are naturally curious animals,especially when they see
something new,"he says."That,combined with their unpredictable nature,can be a dangerous mixture.If
they sense you have food,for example,they won't be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat.
They're actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger,
they can become extremely vicious(凶恶的). Fortunately this is rare , but it does happen."
The research confirmed many things that were already known.As expected,honey badgers ate any crea-
tures they could catch and kill.Even poisonous snakes,feared and avoided by most other animals,were not
safe from them.The researchers were surprised,however,by the animal's fondness for local melons,probably
because of their high water content. Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid require-
ments from its prey(猎物).The team also learnt that,contrary to previous research findings,the badgers oc-
casionally formed loose family groups.They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research,
including the fact that female badgers never socialised with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge,since they can cover large distances in a short
space of time.Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.Although they seem happy to
share these territories with other males,there are occasional fights over an important food source,and male
badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people,it gave the team the chance to get up close
to them without being the subject of the animals'curiosity一or their sudden aggression.The badgers'eating
patterns,which had been disrupted,returned to normal.It also allowed the team to observe more closely some
of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger,as these seemed to adopt the
badgers'relaxed attitude when near humans.
选项
Why did the wildlife experts visit the Kalahari Desert?A:To find where honey badgers live.B:To catch some honey badgers for food.C:To observe how honey badgers behave.D:To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.
答案
C
解析
由第一段第三句“Their main aim was to study the badgers ' movements and behaviour..."可知答案。 由第二段第一句“The problem with honey badgers is that they are naturally curious ani-mals , especially when they see something new...”可知答案。 由第三段第四句“The researchers were surprised , however , by the animal ' s fondness forlocal melons , probably because of their high water content.”可知D项正确。A、B两项可以通过第三段第二、三句来排除,C项可以根据第三段倒数第二句来排除。 由第四段第二句“Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.”可知C项正确。 由最后一段第一句“As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people , it gave the team the chance to get up close to them without being the subject of the animals' curiosity一ortheir sudden aggression.(蜜獾习惯了人的存在后,队员们便有了靠近它们的机会,而不会成为 其好奇或突袭的对象。)”可知蜜獾习惯了人的存在后,就对人失去了兴趣。第5部分:补全短文
