第三篇
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
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 repu-
tation,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 some-
thing 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
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's fondness for local melons,
probably because of their high water content. Previously 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 pre-
vious 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 kilometres.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 animal's 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
What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them?
A:They became less aggressive towards other creatures.
B:They started eating more.
C:Other animals started working with them.
D:They lost interest in people.
答案
D
解析
由文章第一段第三句话“Their main idea 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B。
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A正确。
由文章第三段第四句话“The researchers were surprised , however , by the animal ' s fond- ness 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C。
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,雄性蜜獾奔跑速度很快,它们找寻猎物的领域可延伸至500平方公 里。故选B。
文章最后一段第一句话可知,蜜獾在习惯了人类在它们周围活动之后,就不会再产生 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D。
