Unit 2 Wildlife Protection 能力提升素养练习 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Sam Trull has worked with wildlife for almost 20 years, but she first found her soft spot for sloths (树懒) in 2013 after moving to Costa Rica to work for a small wildlife recovery center called Kids Saving the Rainforest. On arriving there, she took a liking to a two­week­old orphaned (孤儿的) sloth named Kermie. Sloths hug each other for both safety and comfort, so Trull cared for him with tender love, meals, and hugs. Soon other baby sloths were brought in. It was then that she realized that helping the creatures survive was her true calling. When the sloths were grown and healthy enough to depart, Trull and her team built a 19­foot­cubed cage near the recovery center and left the door open, so the four­legged friends could come and go freely. They spent enough time eating and exploring in the wild so that they could abandon the cage for good. Trull performed it successfully with several sloths who are now living healthily in the jungle. Their movements are tracked thanks to the collars they wear. Keeping sloths wild and free is a complicated and expensive process. To make it more effective, Trull co­founded the Sloth Institute in 2014. In addition to the education program and the research into sloths, the institute also cooperates with other institutes to better learn how to prepare orphaned sloths brought to the institute for eventual re­entry into the rainforest. The institute is now going smoothly. Trull published her new book called Slothlove, where she documented the sloths she had saved via photographs. She explained, “A lot of people don't know getting hit by cars and getting caught in electric wires are particularly dangerous to sloths. People just think they're adorable and take selfies with them, unaware that the sloth is stressed and upset.” 1．What can we learn about Trull shortly after she got to Costa Rica? A．She helped kids to recover. B．She cared for sloths for comfort. C．She was at a loss how to cure K
