题文
Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones(手机铃声)of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards (豹)that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on Monday.The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. But rather than use methods such as live bait(活诱饵)like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.
“The moos of a cow, and bleating of a goat from the phone have proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat. “This trick works.” Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. The cats have all been released (释放)back into forest areas.
Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative (新方案) saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.

解析
本文介绍了在印度人们使用手机铃声来吸引那些进入人类聚居地的猎豹,并进行抓捕的事情。
小题1:D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知人们运用电话的铃声模仿羊的叫声,牛的叫声来吸引进入人的聚居地的猎豹。故D项正确。
小题2:A 细节题。根据第二段1,2行The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people.可知这样做的原因是猎豹进入了人类的聚居区,并且攻击了人类,所以才用这种方法把猎豹吸引做开并抓捕。故A项正确。
小题3:C 细节题。根据3,4段“This trick works.”和At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages说明这种方法有了很好的效果,有多只猎豹被吸引过来寻找容易捕捉的动物了,故C正确。
小题4:B 推理题。根据文章第二段最后三行But rather than use methods such as live bait(活诱饵)like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.只是说明人们现在换了方式,并没有说人们不再使用oit这种方法,故B项内容的陈述不准确。
小题5:D 细节题。根据第一段和第3段behind a cage.以及Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones(手机铃声)of cows mooing说明D项正确。
点评:本文介绍了在印度人们使用手机铃声来吸引那些进入人类聚居地的猎豹,并进行抓捕的事情。本文以细节题的考查为主,要求考生在阅读的时候要注意细节信息,同时在仔细阅读题目要求和选项内容的基础之上在文章中找到相关的语群,并作出合理的判断和选择。
考点
据考高分专家说,试题“Forest guards in wes.....”主要考查你对 [新闻报道类阅读 ]考点的理解。新闻报道类阅读
新闻报道类阅读的概念:
阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势,这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的,而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知,学会做事,学会合作,学会做人的目标是一致的,真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。
新闻报道类阅读理解技巧点拨:
新闻报道类类文章有一共同特点,即都是由标题(Headline)、导语(Lead)、主体(Mainbody)、背景(Background)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是新闻报道中心思想高度而又精辟的概括;导语位于新闻报道的首段,高度概括新闻事实;主体则对导语概括的新闻事实进行详细叙述;新闻背景是指新闻事实之外,对新闻事实或新闻事实的某个部分进行解释或补充的材料;结尾往往是新闻事件的结果或动态展望,也是中心思想的概括并常常与新闻导语相呼应。
新闻报道中的导语非常重要,它位于文章的第一段,通过它点出新闻的主题,五个W和一个H(When,Where,Who,What,Why和How)通常是构成一则完整消息不可缺少的要素。文章往往呈现出“倒金字塔”的特征,因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。
另外,从句的使用也是此类文章的一大语言特色,因为从句信息量大,适合新闻报道的要求。此外,大量的副词和插入语的使用也是此类文章的特点。为使文章更客观、更具信服力,常用The study said…, Scientists believe that…Experts said…, It's reported that…, According to the survey…等语言。同事在阅读过程中,我们要对材料所提供信息如when, where, who, how, why等进行提问,将信息迅速提炼出来。
