B
On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine walks along a dirt path in southern Kenya. Actually, Kasaine is tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.
Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a good sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals. But maybe Kasaine didn’t know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserve, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.
Each year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Kenya’s national parks to try to visit the “big five”: elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means that the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isn’t unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nation’s most treasured species have fallen to less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaine’s are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes a difference.
1、What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?
A．The beauty and risk of the wildlife.
B．The method of telling different plants.
C．The skills of telling different paw prints.
D．The lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.
2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The lion. B．The path.
C．The reserve. D．The group.
3、Why is Kenya making efforts to protect wildlife?
A．To improve the nation’s economy.
B．To offer more jobs to the local people.
C．To show the importance of the “big five”.
D．To set a good example to other countries.
4、What do we know from the fifth paragraph?
A．The lions in Kenya are in danger of dying out.
B．The number of species declined seriously in 2016.
C．The nation’s economy is experiencing a very hard period.
D．Species in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.
5、How does Kasaine feel about his sacrifice?
A．Unpleasant. B．Hopeful.
C．Doubtful. D．Worthwhile.
