How was he supposed to turn and tell his kids that he couldn’t take them to Disneyland? Seeing what happened, my mom put her hand in her pocket, pulled out $200 and dropped them on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!)
She reached down, picked up the money, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

With a pair of glasses and gentle manner, Siew Te Wong could be described as a Malaysian Clark Kent (a fictional character in Superman). This wildlife biologist is like a Superman—a tireless protector of the world’s smallest bear species: the sun bear.
“I often call the sun bear a forgotten species,” Wong said. “When I first started, 20 years ago, no one had ever studied sun bears. Most people did not know that they even existed,” As he studied the animal and realized the danger it faced from deforestation and illegal (不合法的) hunting, he knew the bears were in serious trouble. “The more I learn about them, the more I care. The more I care, the more I worry,” he said. “I have to help them.” Today, Wong’s workplace, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center is the only sun bear sanctuary (保护区) in the world.
Sun bears are found in the rain forests of South Asia, and the small bears play a big role in keeping these woodlands healthy. Many plants and animals depend on them to spread seeds, create nesting sites and control the termite (白蚁) population. Healthy rainforests provide clean air and water to the entire world.
But the sun bear population has dropped by 30% during the last thirty years. Now, 44 sun bears live at Wong’s center. All of them were made lose parents by illegal hunting or saved from captivity (囚禁). The center has also become one of the leading tourism (旅游业) destinations in the area. “They can see how special the sun bear is and learn about how their survival (生存) is important to ours,” Wong said, “so they can take some action when they go back home.”
For Wong, this work is simply his responsibility. “Sun bears have become part of my family. When they’re endangered, I care for them. When they are in trouble, I speak for them,” he said. “I want to be the voice for the sun bear, to fight for the sun bear, to ensure the survival of the sun bear. But my goal is to save the entire forest ecosystem (生态系统) and that is so important to the survival of humans. I want bears to live in the forest and not in captivity.”
12. What was the situation as Wong first started to study sun bears?
A. They were paid little attention. B. They were a great danger to humans.
C. They were well fed by the local people. D. They were truly regarded as valuable animals.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of healthy rain forests.
B. An introduction to the rain forests of South Asia.
C. A peaceful living situation of animals in rain forests.
D. Sun bears play a role in keeping a balance of rain forests.
14. Why does Wong build his sun bear center as a leading tourism place?
A. To make this center richer.
B. To protect the forest in the center.
C. To make the center less endangered.
D. To raise attention about sun bears through the center.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A “Star” among the Sun Bears B. A “Guard” of the Sun Bears
C. A “Competitor” in the Sun Bears D. A “Director” from the Sun Bears
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了野生动物学家Siew Te Wong为保护太阳熊所作出的努力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“‘I often call the sun bear a forgotten species,’ Wong said. ‘When I first started, 20 years ago, no one had ever studied sun bears. Most people did not know that they even existed,’”可知,当Wong开始研究太阳熊的时候,它们很少受到关注。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读第三段可知,本段主要讲述太阳熊在保持生态系统平衡中起着重要作用。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据“‘They can see how special the sun bear is and learn about how their survival is important to ours,’ Wong said, ‘so they can take some action when they go back home.’”可知,Wong将他的太阳熊中心设为旅游目的地的目的是为了提高人们对太阳熊情况的认识。故选D。
【15题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了野生动物学家Siew Te Wong为保护太阳熊所作出的努力。选项B“太阳熊的‘守卫’”可作为最佳标题。故选B。

One day, my mom and I were waiting in line to get Disneyland tickets. Soon, just one other family was ahead of us. There were four children. Their clothes were not expensive, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excited about what they would see.
People could tell they had never been to Disneyland before. It promised to be the best part of their young lives.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly said, “Please let me buy four children’s tickets and two adult tickets.”
The ticket lady quoted the price. The father got a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again quoted the price.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his kids that he couldn’t take them to Disneyland? Seeing what happened, my mom put her hand in her pocket, pulled out $200 and dropped them on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!)
She reached down, picked up the money, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Sir, this fell out of your pocket.”
The man knew what was going on. But in a really hard and embarrassing (尴尬) situation, he was thankful for help. He took my mother’s hand with both of his and held the money tightly. His lip was shaking and a tear was running down his face, “thank you, Madam. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

With a pair of glasses and gentle manner, Siew Te Wong could be described as a Malaysian Clark Kent (a fictional character in Superman). This wildlife biologist is like a Superman—a tireless protector of the world’s smallest bear species: the sun bear.
“I often call the sun bear a forgotten species,” Wong said. “When I first started, 20 years ago, no one had ever studied sun bears. Most people did not know that they even existed,” As he studied the animal and realized the danger it faced from deforestation and illegal (不合法的) hunting, he knew the bears were in serious trouble. “The more I learn about them, the more I care. The more I care, the more I worry,” he said. “I have to help them.” Today, Wong’s workplace, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center is the only sun bear sanctuary (保护区) in the world.
Sun bears are found in the rain forests of South Asia, and the small bears play a big role in keeping these woodlands healthy. Many plants and animals depend on them to spread seeds, create nesting sites and control the termite (白蚁) population. Healthy rainforests provide clean air and water to the entire world.
But the sun bear population has dropped by 30% during the last thirty years. Now, 44 sun bears live at Wong’s center. All of them were made lose parents by illegal hunting or saved from captivity (囚禁). The center has also become one of the leading tourism (旅游业) destinations in the area. “They can see how special the sun bear is and learn about how their survival (生存) is important to ours,” Wong said, “so they can take some action when they go back home.”
For Wong, this work is simply his responsibility. “Sun bears have become part of my family. When they’re endangered, I care for them. When they are in trouble, I speak for them,” he said. “I want to be the voice for the sun bear, to fight for the sun bear, to ensure the survival of the sun bear. But my goal is to save the entire forest ecosystem (生态系统) and that is so important to the survival of humans. I want bears to live in the forest and not in captivity.”
12. What was the situation as Wong first started to study sun bears?
A. They were paid little attention. B. They were a great danger to humans.
C. They were well fed by the local people. D. They were truly regarded as valuable animals.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of healthy rain forests.
B. An introduction to the rain forests of South Asia.
C. A peaceful living situation of animals in rain forests.
D. Sun bears play a role in keeping a balance of rain forests.
14. Why does Wong build his sun bear center as a leading tourism place?
A. To make this center richer.
B. To protect the forest in the center.
C. To make the center less endangered.
D. To raise attention about sun bears through the center.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A “Star” among the Sun Bears B. A “Guard” of the Sun Bears
C. A “Competitor” in the Sun Bears D. A “Director” from the Sun Bears
