For Barton's 50th birthday，his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant's World to allow them to bring a piano into the place.However，Barton's personal project to play music to these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts. As Barton recalls，the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant's World，he wondered how the elephants would react to the music：“I contemplated what it would be like to play for the elephants.Would they listen，or would it be dangerous？” Moving a piano into nature is not easy.As Barton says，“Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging，but we made it.” Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives，and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled. This pianist has carefully observed (观察) the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played.“Their breathing actually slows down when I play，which tells me they are relaxed and happy，” he says.“An 80-year-old elephant，Ampan，who is almost totally blind，enjoys Beethoven's slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement.He will walk away if I play Schubert，rather than Beethoven，which it loves！” This musician adds，“I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them.I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them，especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴顿在妻子工作的大象保护区为大象弹奏古典音乐的故事，他发现音乐能让大象放松快乐，尤其是为那些生活压力大或失明的大象带来安慰，他认为音乐是治愈大象的完美方式。 4．What is the purpose of Barton's personal project?

Chakravarty was drawn to cartoons，like many children when he was young.Although he would get punished for often drawing on school desks and his textbooks，it didn't stop him from creating cartoon books based on the cartoons he saw on TV. His turning point came during his first wildlife trip as a volunteer for a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)，where he saw a tiger and was inspired to draw cartoons on wildlife.Originally aiming for a job in medicine，Chakravarty realized it wasn't his interest.Soon，Chakravarty started working as an animation (动画) designer in a Bengaluru company，and chose cartoons as his medium to communicate serious problems like environmental protection in a more attractive manner. In 2013，Chakravarty started Green Humour，which was published on GoComics，becoming the first Indian cartoon series to reach the world.So far，Chakravarty has published nine books，including Making Friends with Snakes，which has been translated into 14 foreign languages and won a prize at the Green Literature Festival in 2021. As a cartoonist，Chakravarty's work is not simply saying or drawing something funny，but it relates to a lot of understanding and research.He explained that working with scientists helped him deepen his understanding of wildlife protection and balance humour and hard science.Faced with challenges like losing popularity among young readers and difficulty gaining acceptance from publishers，Chakravarty still continues to create a space for environmental protection through his art，aiming to attract people of all ages to care for the environment. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了来自印度的漫画家Rohan Chakravarty，他通过漫画书系列“绿色幽默”来关注野生动物和自然保护。 8．What does Green Humour center on?

Environmentalists say that it's important to create special places called wildlife reserves.These reserves protect animals that are in danger and help keep different kinds of life in nature.Wildlife reserves are like safe homes where animals and plants can live and grow without being bothered by people.Studies show that animals in these protected areas survive better，which helps maintain balance in nature.Every animal，from small insects to large animals，plays an important role in keeping the ecosystem healthy. In addition to reserves，people are also working on setting up “wildlife corridors”．These are protected paths between places animals live in，which allow animals to migrate safely.Without such corridors，animal groups that live alone in one place lose genetic diversity (基因多样性)，which makes them more likely to die out.For instance，large predators like tigers and wolves need big space to hunt and survive.Corridors offer these animals freedom to move around without entering human spaces. Protecting biodiversity (生物多样性) not only benefits animals but also supports human life.Healthy ecosystems control water flow，clean the air，and stops the climate change，all of which are extremely important for human survival.Therefore，protection efforts not only focus on saving different species，but also make sure our environment stays healthy for everyone. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市扩张对野生动物栖息地的影响，以及建立野生动物保护区和野生动物走廊对于保护动物和生态系统的重要性。 12．What is one main result of urban expansion on wildlife?

D．To allow humans to connect with animal. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“These reserves protect animals...without being bothered by people.”可知，建立野生动物保护区的目的是保护动物不受人类的干扰。故选C项。 14．What is the author's attitude toward creating wildlife reserves and corridors? A．Supportive. B．Concerned. C．Indifferent. D．Questioning. 答案：A 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段中“Protecting biodiversity (生物多样性) not only benefits animals but also supports human life.”可知，作者认为保护生物多样性利于动物，也利于人类自己。由此推知，作者会对建立保护生物多样性的野生动物保护区和走廊这一行动持支持态度。故选A项。 15．What is the main idea of the passage?
