But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the US Fish and Wildlife Service: the songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species.” (佛罗里达州草蜢沙鹀的歌声不同寻常,出人意料地像昆虫。但它几乎永远沉默了。2012年,国家地理探险家和摄影方舟的创始人Joel Sartore接到了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的电话:这种鸣禽是佛罗里达州干旱草原上的一个重要生态环节,正处于灭绝的边缘。由于只有几十只雄性在计数显示中出现,它是北美最濒危的鸟类之一。)可知,这里利用具体的例子来说明北美鸟类的濒危情况。故选B。 2.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding programme.” (这个故事出现在报纸、杂志甚至互联网等上,有助于增加政府对育种项目的资助。)可知,这里的outlets包括报纸、杂志甚至互联网等,所以outlets的意思应该是“媒体”,和选项B意思一致。故选B。 3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is ‘a remarkable story of belief and cooperation’, says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, ... ...
