Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·潍坊一中高二期末)Rinzin Phunjok Lama was 16 when he first saw a Himalayan snow leopard(雪豹)wandering in the mountains near his home in northeastern Nepal—an experience that changed his life.In the folklore(民间传说) of Lama's community，snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order.At that moment Lama said he recognized that his homeland was in danger. Lama，now 30，has since devoted his life to wildlife conservation.Unlike thousands of young Nepalese who leave rural areas in search of work，Lama returned to his home in Humla after graduating from college with a forestry degree.Even in this remote corner of Nepal，the effects of climate change are clear，with ancient water sources drying up and once snow-capped mountains left bare. Lama leads a team of trained conservationists who work to engage in the community.They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife，facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age. What makes Lama's project unique is that it's driven entirely by the people it serves.Outsiders have previously brought sustainability efforts to the region and failed to make a lasting impact because they often did not understand the local culture，Lama says.“Gaining community trust should be the first step，” he says. One challenge of that has been high levels of food insecurity and poverty(贫困)in the area，which makes it harder to convince people that conservation should be a priority.To show that it's possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it，Lama's team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks.“The people leading this project are from here，” he says.“There can be no prouder moment than this for us.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了30岁的Lama一直致力于野生动物保护。他领导着一队训练有素的自然环境保护主义者，与社区合作来保护濒危的野生动物。 1．What does the appearance of snow leopards show traditionally?

I spoke to Michael Rattray，chairman of the Sabi Sands management committee，about the management policies.“If in a thousands years' time the reserve is still a wonderful habitat for wildlife，then we will have succeeded in our mission.Various measures are being put in place.These include dealing with the problem of erosion.In 1996 we had abnormally high rainfall.This could have been absolutely destructive.However，we have successfully fought erosion using gabion stretchers，which are wire baskets filled with rocks.We have also used a lot of old aerial photographs，which have helped us return the land to its earlier state.This meant recreating open grassland areas to attract different types of animals，” he said. Apart from these measures，the reserve employs a wide range of local workers.Building staff accommodation of any sort would make a big impact on the environment and would go against the aim of keeping the reserve as natural as possible.Instead，transport is provided so employees can live a normal life with their families outside the area，and the human impact is kept to a minimum. Visitors to the reserve spend about six hours a day in open vehicles，observing wildlife on game drives.They are accompanied by a ranger and a local tracker.I shall never forget the moment on a game drive when I saw a cheetah(猎豹) with her five cubs.She was lying in a sea of long yellow grass，her markings almost invisible.We got close enough to hear her purr. The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is a place where animals have no fear of humans.It is impossible to quantify the benefits of spending time in such an environment.
