  Two young Chinese tigers set off on a 7000-mile journey to South Africa where animal experts will teach them how to hunt. The pair of South China tigers named Cathay and Hope will travel from an overcrowded field at Shanghai Zoo to a 1235-acre reserve(保护区)in South Africa.“There's room for them to move there. But the goal is to bring them back to China, where they have lived for millions of years,”Li Quan, founder of the Save China's Tigers Foundation, told reporters while the animals passed through Hong Kong airport. Quan said there were experts in South Africa with experience in teaching big cats born in imprisonment how to survive in the wild.

  Big cats would instinctively(本能地)hunt food but needed to be taught how to kill it. The Chinese government says fewer than 30 South China tigers survive in the wild and a further 60 live in zoos. Tigers, which are found only in Asia, are disappearing because of the destruction of their natural surroundings and because of demand for products such as tiger bones, believed in parts of Asia to cure some serious diseases. The foundation hopes to transport another five to seven young tigers to South Africa over the next five years and then introduce them and any young tiger born there into a specially created re-serve in southern China from 2008.

(1) The Chinese tigers sent to South Africa will ________.

[  ]

A.teach other animals how to hunt

B.learn skills to survive in the wild

C.leave room to other animals at Shanghai Zoo

D.live in a wider area to comfort themselves

(2) Why are South China tigers dying out?

[  ]

A.Because people are destroying their living conditions as well as killing them for medicine use.

B.Because they only live in crowded zoos.

c.Because there are only a few of them in the wild.

D.Because there is little food for them in China.

(3) What will be the result of the tigers sent to Africa at last?

[  ]

A.They will live in Africa forever.

B.They will come back to the zoos.

C.They will be introduced to China to do research in the wild.

D.All of them, including their young, will return to China to live in a reserve.

(4) The main factor that the tigers were sent to Africa probably is ________.

[  ]

A.there are reserves there

B.there is plenty of food for the tigers to hunt there

C.there are experienced experts there

D.the Chinese specially created reserve hasn't been completed
