题目内容
14.The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩) in the world just got the best surprise---a hug from a new friend.Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread---the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.
For those who know Ponso's backstory,his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising.Ponso was one of 20chimps,all between the ages of 7to 11years old,relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing.After the tests were completed in 2005,the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands,occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps'new homes.
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing.But at the end of 2013they died within days and Ponso is now completely alone.
A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already achieving its goal of 20,000----all of which will be used for Ponso's care.

解答 DABC
4 D 推断题.由文章第一段第二句"Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years"可知,Ponso 已经单独生活了将近三年.由此可以推断,在独自生活的三年中,它十分孤独.D项,意为"他经历了很强烈的孤独",故D项符合文意.
A项,意为"他被他的家庭成员抛弃",由文章第一段第二句"after his wife and children died on the island"可知,Ponso 的配偶和孩子在岛上已经死去,故A项错误;B项,意为"他发现了很多食物来源",由文章第二段第一句"bring bananas and bread-the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island"可知,村民 Germain 给 Ponso 带来的香蕉和面包是这只大猩猩唯一的食物来源,故B项错误;C项,意为"他为了一个测试来到这个小岛",由文章第一段第二句"they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago"可知,这些猩猩是在很多年前被一家医学测试公司抛弃在小岛上的.故C项错误.故正确答案为D.
5 A 细节题.由文章第二段最后一句"with his smile from ear to ear"可知,当 Estelle Raballand 来看望 Ponso 的时候,Ponso 开怀大笑,由此可知,Ponso 十分开心.故正确答案为A.
6 B 推断题.由文章第三段第二句"Ponso was one of 20 chimps"到最后一句"because there was none in the chimps'new homes"可知,本段主要介绍以 Ponso 为代表的这一批大猩猩参加了一个纽约血液中心进行的实验,在实验完成后他们被转移到一个荒凉的小岛上.故由此推断,第三段主要介绍 Ponso 是怎样来到这个小岛上的,故B项正确.A项,意为"这个猩猩的新住处",文章第三段最后一句"because there was none in the chimps'new homes"只是阐述猩猩们的新住处很荒凉,并不是整段的段意,故A项错误;C项,意为"为什么 Ponso 用于实验",文章未提及,故C项错误;D项,意为"关于猩猩们的医学测试",文章未提及,故D项错误.故正确答案为B.
7 C 推断题.C项,意为"很多人关心 Ponso",由文章第五段第一句"A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already achieving its goal of?20,000"可知,一个叫做 SOS PONSO 的组织正在为这只可怜的孤独的猩猩募捐,已经达到了两万欧元的目标,由此可以推断有很多人关心 Ponso,故C项正确.A项,意为"Germain 不再会看望 Ponso",文章未提及,故A项错误;B项,意为"一个新的实验室将建在小岛上",文章未提及,故B项错误;D项,意为"更多的大猩猩将会被带到岛上",文章未提及,故D项错误.故正确答案为C.
