7.The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩) in the world just got the best surprise---a hug from a new friend.Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself along after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.
For those who know Ponso's backstory,his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising.Ponso was one of 20 chimps,all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old,relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre.After the tests were completed in 2005,the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands,occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps'new homes.
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing,But at the end of 2013 they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone.
A group called SOS Ponso is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already
achieving its goal of?20,000-all of which will be used for Ponso's care.
24.What do we know about the chimp Ponso?D
A.He was deserted by his family,
B.He found many sources of food.
C.He came to the island for a test.
D.He suffers from loneliness greatly.
25.How did Ponso feel about the visit of Estelle Raballand?A
A.Excited.B.Frightened.C.Embarrassed.
26.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?B
A.The chimps'new settlement.
B.How Ponso came to the island.
C.Why Ponso was used for a test.
D.The medical test about chimps.
27.What can be inferred from the text?C
A.Germain won't visit Ponso any more.
B.A new lab will be built on the island.
C.Many people show concern for Ponso.
D.more chimps will be brought to the island.

分析 本文主要介紹了一個黑猩猩--Ponso,它獨(dú)自在島上被關(guān)了三年,非常孤獨(dú).但是許多人都在關(guān)心幫助Ponso.例如:村民時常給它送吃的和陪伴它;Estelle Raballand來島上陪伴它;SOS PONSO組織正在為這只孤獨(dú)的黑猩猩籌錢.

解答 24.D推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island和倒數(shù)第二段But at the end of 2013 they died within days and Ponso is now completely alone.可知Ponso獨(dú)自在島上被關(guān)了三年,它非常孤獨(dú).故選D.
25.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.可知黑猩猩Ponso立刻接受了Estelle Raballand的大擁抱.她伸手給它,而它笑得合不攏嘴.由此可知,Estelle Raballand來看它,它很興奮.故選A.
26.B主旨大意題.第三段主要講述了Ponso7歲到11歲之間,被送到一個小島上,用于測試;測試結(jié)束后,又被轉(zhuǎn)移到一系列島嶼上.故選B.
27.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段可知有個村民時常給Ponso送吃的和陪伴它;第三段講Estelle Raballand來島上陪伴Ponso;最后一段講SOS PONSO組織在為它籌錢.由此可知,許多人在關(guān)心幫助Ponso.故選C.

點(diǎn)評 本文考察學(xué)生的理解推斷能力以及細(xì)心程度,只要抓住文章的關(guān)鍵詞,采用尋讀的方法查找細(xì)節(jié),就能找到正確答案.
