专题03 阅读理解之议论文 ( 经典基础题 ) 1.（2023上·江苏连云港·高二统考期末）I am an Africa wildlife filmmaker. But wildlife filmmakers from Africa are rarer than mountain gorillas(大猩猩). To understand why there are so few, we need to remember our recent history. When the colonialists(殖民者) ruled Africa, they seized control of the continent’s wildlife and other natural resources.
