试题分析：短文大意：野生动物是我们的朋友，但他们中的许多人也越来越少。作者介绍了四种濒危的野生动物及他们的生活状况，并呼吁大家尽力保护。

【1】A细节理解题。根据文中Tibetan Antelopes：“They are usually found in groups of about 20.”可知藏羚羊通常是20左右的群体。所以选A。

【2】B细节理解题。根据文中Elephants：“They are bigger than any other animals on land.”可知大象比陆地上的其他动物都大。所以选B。

【3】B细节理解题。根据文中Golden monkeys have golden—orange fur．They move around in the daytime，usually in groups of as many as l00 to 200 heads，or 20 to 30 heads．They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos．可知金丝猴有金橙色的皮毛。他们在白天四处走动，通常为100～200头为多组，或20到30头。他们吃水果和竹子的嫩叶。所以选B。
