5.Have you ________(回答，答复) his question？ 答案 replied to 二、阅读理解 (2015·湖北卷) “I see you've got a bit of water on your coat，” said the man at the petrol station. “Is it raining out there？” “No，it's pretty nice，” I replied，checking my sleeve. “Oh，right. A pony (马驹) bit me earlier.”
As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor，and perhaps thought I'd jumped in ahead of him. The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeling the ponies foods，despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies，tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area's annual pony drift (迁移)．
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked，the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers' milk，and those who've gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold，in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello！” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor's Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.
Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable (可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor's most financially-troubled elements.
语篇解读 本文介绍了英国达特穆尔草原的马驹保护项目。 1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies？ A. To protect the tourists from being bitten. B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station. C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger. D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.
答案与解析 C 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“By feeding the ponies，tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather”可知，不让游客喂马驹是为了保护这里的马驹免遭危险。故选C。 2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is ________. A. to feed baby ponies on milk B. to control the number of ponies C. to expand the habitat for ponies D. to sell the ponies at a good price
答案与解析 B 考查细节理解。第四段提到每年一度的马驹迁移的目的：把马驹聚集在一起，检查马驹的健康状况；让小马驹不再吃母乳；跑出限制区域的马驹能够返回正确的区域；把有些马驹卖掉，以按照Natural England的规定限制马驹的数量。四个选项中只有B项是马驹迁移的目的之一。
3.What was the author's first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back？ A. He freed it from the trap.
B. He called a protection officer. C. He worried about it very much. D. He thought of it as being naughty.
答案与解析 D 考查细节理解。根据第五段的内容，当作者看到这头马驹在地上打滚的时候，他以为它只是为了嬉戏，后来才开始为它担心，并且打电话联系相关的官员，因此选D。 4.What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor's ponies？ A. It lacks people's involvement. B. It costs a large amount of money. C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor. D. It has caused an imbalance of species.
答案与解析 B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Many people are working hard...one of Dartmoor's most financially-troubled elements”可以判断，很多人都在努力保护这些马驹，帮忙想办法为达特穆尔的这个被金融所困扰的项目寻找可持续发展的未来。由此可推知，该保护项目缺少资金，保护这里的马驹会花费很多钱，因此选B。
