【正文】 ?”“ No, it’ s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “ Oh, right. A pony(馬駒 ) bit me earlier.” As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’ d jumped in ahead of him. The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist﹣ heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’ s annual pony drift(遷移 ). The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mother’ s milk, and those who’ ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England. Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near﹣ disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “ Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’ s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to e up with plans to find a sustainable(可持續(xù)的 ) future for one of Dartmoor’ s most financially﹣ troubled elements. 語篇導(dǎo)讀 ：本文介紹了英國達(dá)特穆爾草原的馬駒保護項目。根據(jù)第三段中的“ By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather…”可知，不讓游客喂馬駒是為了保護這里 的馬駒免遭危險，故選 C項。第四段提到每年一度的馬駒遷移的目的：把馬駒聚集在一起，檢查馬駒的健康狀況； 讓小馬駒不再吃母乳；跑出限制區(qū)域的馬駒能夠返回正確的區(qū)域；把有些馬駒賣掉，以按照 Natural England 的規(guī)定限制馬駒的數(shù)量。 3.
