On the Trail of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert,a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badg-
ers(獾).The team employed a local wildlife expert,Kitso Khama,to help them locate and follow the badg-
ers 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 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'tbe 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
creatures 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'5 fondness for local melons,
probably because of their high water content.Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its
liquid requirements from its prey(猎物).The team also learnt that , contrary to previous research findings,
the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups.They were also able to confirm certain results from
previous research,including the fact that female badgers never socialized 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
9losely 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 badaers have a bad renutation.
答案
C
解析
由文章第一段第三句话“Their main aim was to study the badgers' movement and behaviour as discreetly as possible.”可知,野生动物专家们访问这个沙漠是为了研究蜜灌这种动物的生活习 性。故选C。
在文章第二段第一句话中,Kitso Khama说“they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,”可知,选项C正确。
由文章第三段第四句话“The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal' s 'fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content.”可知,让研究者惊奇 的一项发现是蜜灌这种动物很喜欢吃当地的甜瓜,很可能是因为这种瓜中水分含量很 高。故选D。
由文章第四段第一句和第二句“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 kilometres.”可知,雄性蜜灌奔跑速度很快,它们找寻猎物的领域可延伸至500平方公 里。故选C。
文章最后一段第一句话,可知蜜灌在习惯了人类在它们周围活动之后,就不会再对人 产生好奇心,也不会有敌意的表现。这时研究人员就有机会近距离观察它们。故选B。第二篇 本文讲述了30多年前发生在英国的一场谋杀案,由于嫌疑犯一直未被抓获,直到今天民众 仍对这起谋杀案感兴趣,并设想了几个关于嫌疑犯结局的不同版本。英国警察想通过DNA技术来揭 开这起谋杀案的真相。
