Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
After a confirmed rabies(狂犬病) case in Parke County, Indiana, experts are urging caution if you find a bat(蝙蝠) in your home or office.
“If you try to kill a bat, you are more likely to get bitten,” said Joy O'Keefe, assistant professor of biology and director of Indiana State University's Centre for Bat Research, Outreach and Conservation. “Most bats people find in their houses are healthy and are not going to bite them and give them rabies.” But they could be a federally endangered species, such as the Indiana Bat, which is found in this area.
So if you spot a bat in your home or office, don't kill it or touch it with bare hands, O'Keefe said. Instead, put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket. Once contained, the bat can be removed outside.
“If it's a healthy bat, it'll fly away eventually,” O'Keefe said. “If it doesn't move or seem to be healthy, you can take it to the health department to be tested.”
This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites, O'Keefe said.
“We get calls every year during the first month of school year from people finding bats in the university's buildings,” said O'Keefe.
Bats are a great help to people, as every night they can eat up to their entire body weight of insects. Bats, however, are facing great threats from epidemics(流行性疾病), habitat destruction and other things.
“The best way the average person can help bats is by understanding them and by telling other people how awesome bats are and what bats do for us,” O' Keefe said. “Hopefully, it will make people think that if there's a bat in their house, they should try to get it out but not kill it. That would be really positive for bats—to not have people be one of their major threats.”
（1）According to the text, experts are giving the public a warning about _______.
A.the biting by bats
B.the danger of keeping bats
C.the spreading of an infectious disease
D.the extinction of an endangered species
（2）In O'Keefe's opinion, when you find a bat in your house, you should _______.
A.put it on a tree
B.send it to get tested
C.remove it with gloves
D.report to the health department
（3）We can infer that the text is probably written in _______.
A.spring
B.summer
C.autumn
D.winter
（4）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A.what bats like to eat
B.people's awareness of bats
C.the best way to protect bats
D.the greatest threat bats are facing

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】这是一篇说明文，蝙蝠对人类有益，但是被蝙蝠咬伤后会使人得狂犬病,所以O'Keefe建议我们在室内发现蝙蝠时，不要空手去捉它们或伤害它们，而是要戴上手套把它们移到户外。

⑴考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“After a confirmed rabies case”及第二段中的“If you try to kill a bat, you're more likely to get bitten”可知因为有了被蝙蝠咬后导致人得狂犬病的案例,所以专家向公众发出了小心被蝙蝠咬的警告。故选A。

⑵考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket. Once contained, the bat can be removed outside”可知O'Keefe建议大家戴上手套把蝙蝠移到户外。故选C。

⑶考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites”及第六段中的“during the first month of school year”可知蝙蝠在这个时期从它们夏天的窝迁徙到冬天的窝，再根据新学年的第一个月可推测这篇文章写于秋季。故选C。

⑷考查猜测词义。根据本段内容可知O'Keefe认为保护蝙蝠最好的方法就是了解它们并且告诉人们蝙蝠有多棒,它们能为人类做很多事情。O'Keefe希望“人们对蝙蝠的这种认识”能避免人类成为蝙蝠的最大威胁之一。It指代人们对蝙蝠的这种认识，故选B.
