Question

Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, the wildlife health center, workers receive baby animals, including songbirds and rabbits. This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones before sending them back into the wild.

  There are many reasons for these little animals' coming to the center. First of all, street cats or dogs catch, injure or take away little birds from their nests. Sometimes people catch baby animals and keep them at home, giving them food that they are not used to. It would make them sick. Most people don't realize that it's against law to get live animals out of their nests.

  As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die. This is because many people wrongly believe that once a bird is touched by a person, its mother will not accept this child bird. But that's not true.

  If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.

  As for the progress of protecting wild animals, people at Wild Friends devote all their energy to this work. Over the last weeks, they have been able to send many of the birds and rabbits that came here earlier this spring back to nature.

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要介绍了保护野生动物的事情。在春末的时候，野生动物中心的工人最忙，小鸟受到的影响最大。遇到小鸟从鸟巢里掉下来，应该确认是否受伤，没有的话，把它送回鸟巢；受伤的话，及时送回野生动物中心。

1.根据第一段“Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, ...This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones”可知，在Wild Friends，工人最忙的季节是春季，故选A。

2.根据第三段“As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die.”可知，小鸟落在地面时，人们往往会置之不顾，让它们自生自灭，这对它们来说是很危险的，故选C。

3.根据倒数第二段“If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.”可知，无论是放回鸟巢还是送到野生动物中心，都是为了帮助小鸟回家，D项是在小鸟受伤的情况下要做的，故选B。
