On an early morning in 2018, Emily Denstedt and two other Gorilla Doctors walked into the thick Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They were searching for Buzinza, the head of the Rushegura mountain gorilla (山地大猩猩) group, because they feared she had broken her arm.

Mountain gorillas move around a lot. This was the team’s second day on Buzinza’s trail. The doctors had spent all of the previous morning and afternoon

tracking the gorilla’s family, only to have Buzinza climb into a treetop when they finally saw her. She stayed there until nightfall—too late and too dark for a checkup.

The team was luckier the next day, however. They had to push through the forest for only a few minutes before coming upon Buzinza and the rest of her family. She was on the ground eating leaves.

Gorilla Doctors is an international group of about 25 wildlife veterinarians (兽医), biologists and support staff working to keep the world’s 1,000 mountain gorillas from going extinct. The group serves the health needs of the animals living in this forest.

A week ago, the trackers responsible for monitoring (监视) the Rushegura gorilla group noticed that Buzinza hadn’t used her right arm for several days. “We were worried that she might have a fracture (骨折),” Denstedt said.

When they found Buzinza on that second day of searching, the team slowly took out their medical supplies. Denstedt gently placed Buzinza’s injured arm on an X-ray plate. The picture that appeared showed there was no fracture. Instead, Buzinza was suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection (感染). “That type of condition is serious,” Denstedt said. “Without treatment, she would likely die.”

The treatment took about an hour. As she worked, Denstedt spoke quietly to Buzinza: “You’re all right. You’re fine.”

“It’s hard to know how much they really feel when we are touching them. But you still find yourself saying these things,” Denstedt explained.

Trackers and field veterinarians monitored Buzinza over the next five weeks and continued to treat her with medications. “We don’t have any X-rays after treatment, so I don’t know what the bone looks like now, but Buzinza is doing a lot better,” Denstedt said. “She’s climbing again.”

1. Which word best describes the team’s finding Buzinza?

   A. Secret.

   B. Unexpected.

   C. Difficult.

   D. Unimportant.

2. What did Denstedt find out about Buzinza after a checkup?

   A. Her right arm was broken.

   B. Her condition was life-threatening.

   C. She experienced an unknown disease.

   D. She could spread the infection to her family.

3. What did Denstedt do as she treated Buzinza?

   A. She tried to calm and comfort her.

   B. She tried to guess how she was feeling.

   C. She made the process as slow as possible.

   D. She touched her gently to help her go to sleep.

4. What did Denstedt say about Buzinza?

   A. She was recovering slowly.

   B. She needed another X-ray badly.

   C. She was better at climbing trees than before.

   D. She’d have to wait weeks to get new treatment.

“Help me, please,” asked the chiru on the poster that decorated up-market shops in many cities across India.

The chiru, or Tibetan antelope, required help, and the poster went on to explain why. “Five chiru are killed to make one shahtoosh shawl(沙图什披肩),” making the wild animal a highly endangered species. “Say no to shahtoosh.”

7,000 to 8,000 chiru were being killed every year. “At this rate, the animal would be extinct in another eight years,” experts warned.

Alarmed conservationists in India started a series of activities to encourage weavers(织工) of shahtoosh to organize themselves to promote an alternative (可替代的) fashion brand; the pashma, a handmade, traditional Kashmiri shawl made from the wool of non-endangered Himalayan goats(山羊).

“Many traditional weavers still feel that weaving shahtoosh is their birthright,” wildlife activist Aniruddha Mookerjee said. “No government would be able to enforce a total ban (禁止) on trade in shahtoosh unless you provide alternatives.”

The pashma is made from the wool of Changra mountain goats, which live at heights of more than 15,000 feet in the scenic Ladakh area of Jammu and Kashmir. The wool is collected by combing, and the animal is not harmed. “The wool combed from this goat has a very soft feel and fineness that makes it comparable to shahtoosh,” said Gulam Hassan Hafiz, a 55-year-old weaver from Srinagar.

A survey by the Wildlife Trust of India and the US-based International Fund for Animal Welfare found that some 15,000 weavers, three-quarters of them women, were involved in shahtoosh production from 2001 to 2002. After the state ban in 2002, about 55% of the weavers reported a complete change from shahtoosh to pashma.

Weavers such as Hafiz, who quit shahtoosh shawl production after the ban, joined other pashmina workers to form the Kashmir Handmade Pashmina Promotion Trust. “Pashma is all about trust. We will make sure of the quality of the product,” Hafiz said.

5. What was the purpose of the poster that appeared in up-market shops in India?

   A. To promote a new product.

   B. To call for the protection of chiru.

   C. To raise money for wildlife rescue.

   D. To show the high value of shahtoosh shawls.

6. What did Mookerjee think of offering alternatives to shahtoosh?

   A. It was a near-impossible thing.

   B. It might be banned by the Indian government.

   C. It would win many traditional weavers’ support.

   D. It allowed traditional weavers to stop making shahtoosh.

7. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?

   A. Advantages of the pashma over shahtoosh.

   B. How people found an alternative to shahtoosh.

   C. What customers think of the alternative to shahtoosh.

   D. The differences between shahtoosh and its alternative.
