(2024·六盘水高二检测)By the time the kipunji monkeys were discovered,they were already seriously endangered.These rare animals live in Tanzania and is not closely related to any other known monkeys.Thanks to smart protection efforts,their population is accumulating.
Kipunji monkeys live in groups and spend most of their time in trees.Local hunters knew about them,but researchers first identified the species in the early 2000s.A 2007 survey found 1,117 of the animals alive.Experts from organizations such as the Wildlife Conservation Society(WCS) stepped in to try to save the species.
One method of protecting kipunji monkeys was to reduce conflict between the monkeys and humans.Kipunji often come out of the forest to steal bananas,and carrots from farms,leading farmers to set traps that can kill the monkeys.So WCS workers put unpleasant things such as chili oil(辣椒油) on the leaves of the crops to keep the monkeys away.Farmers have also started growing crops like potatoes,which the monkeys are less interested in eating.
To discourage people from cutting down trees in the kipunji's habitats(栖息地),the WCS has established other sources of wood.Kipunji habitats have been turned into protected parks and reserves.
So far,their efforts have been successful.A 2022 study found that the area in which the monkeys live has increased in size by nearly 20%,and their population has risen to 1,966 animals.If the efforts continue,the population of kipunji monkeys could double in 25 years.“It's not perfect,” former WCS director Tim Davenport said.“But it's in a considerably better place than it used to be.”
1.What does the underlined word “accumulating” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Unchanging. B.Declining.
C.Increasing. D.Disappearing.
2.What did the local farmers do to keep the monkeys away?
A.Put chili oil on the crops.
B.Grow crops they like less.
C.Turn their habitats into parks.
D.Hunt down and kill them.
3.Why have other sources of wood been established?
A.To protect the kipunji's habitats.
B.To make profit from the wood.
C.To educate the local villagers.
D.To develop the local economy.
4.Which statement will Tim Davenport probably agree with?
A.Kipunji monkeys' current living condition is perfect.
B.The number of kipunji monkey will double in 25 years.
C.The WCS hasn't done enough in protecting the monkey.
D.Continuous efforts should be made to protect the kipunji.
