Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk. When the 61yearold first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds39。 nests and hatching(孵化)them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild. A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler. Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (163。172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn39。t enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received, reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a dead loss at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild. Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only being a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.（1）What does the underlined word accolade mean in Paragraph 2? A.returnB.levelC.honorD.research（2）According to the passage, Great Auk is ________. A.an endangered birdB.an extinct birdC.a popular birdD.a fierce bird（3）What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?

A.was proved of no useB.was widely acceptedC.was promoted officiallyD.was criticized by some people【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了生物學(xué)家 Carl Jones 通過人工繁殖的方式是瀕臨滅絕的鳥類的數(shù)量逐漸增加，并且因此獲得了2016年的印第安的波利斯獎(jiǎng)。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。第二段中的“for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk.”是對(duì)前面句子的補(bǔ)充說明，再由“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”可推知，這里的accolade與獲獎(jiǎng)有關(guān)，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk”可知，他保護(hù)了瀕臨滅絕的紅隼，使他免于遭受Great Auk的情況，因此可知Great Auk是一種已經(jīng)滅絕的鳥類，選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild.”可知紅隼的數(shù)量已經(jīng)開始增加了，所以推斷出人工繁殖的方法很有效，故選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the Nobel Prize of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.”；以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.”可知 Jones 教授從稀有鳥類的巢穴中取出鳥蛋的行為被一些人批評(píng)，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 It was only after her death from Bright39。s disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson enjoyed recognition for her poetic acplishment.
