刚果发现需要保护的新猴种

Scientists found a new monkey in Congo. Its name is Likweli. It has orange lips and shiny black fur (皮毛). It lives high in the trees. The monkey is very shy. It makes a special call (叫声). It sounds like a frog and a pig.

Scientists looked for it for four years. They saw it only 114 times. Three of these monkeys died because some people tried to catch them. The monkeys live in a small place. Their home is in danger. Scientists say very few of them are left. They hope people will keep these monkeys and their home safe.

1.1.What is the name of the new monkey?

A Congo.

B Likweli.

C Pig.

D Frog.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。文章第一段第二句明确提到“Its name is Likweli”,所以新猴子的名字是Likweli,B项正确。A项Congo是发现这只猴子的国家,并非名字;C项Pig和D项Frog都来自猴子叫声听起来像青蛙和猪的描述,也不是它的名字,因此都不选。故选B。

2.2. What does the Likweli monkey look like?

A It has orange lips and shiny black fur.

B It has yellow lips and brown fur.

C It has red lips and white fur.

D It has black lips and orange fur.

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。文章第一段第三句直接描述了Likweli猴的外貌:“It has orange lips and shiny black fur”,与A项完全一致。B项黄嘴唇棕皮毛、C项红嘴唇白皮毛、D项黑嘴唇橙皮毛都与原文信息不符,因此排除。故选A。

3.3.How many of the monkeys died?

A 5.

B 6.

C 4.

D 3.

解析:选D。D 细节理解题。文章第二段第三句指出“Three of these monkeys died because some people tried to catch them”,清楚说明有3只猴子死亡。A项5、B项6、C项4均与原文数字不符,因此选择D项。

4.4.What do scientists hope for the monkeys?

A To take them to live in zoos.

B To give them new names.

C To protect them and their home.

D To make movies about them.

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。文章最后一句“They hope people will keep these monkeys and their home safe”意为科学家希望人们保护这些猴子及它们的家园,与C项“保护它们和它们的家园”意思一致。A项带到动物园、B项取新名字、D项拍电影,在文中均未提及,因此不选。故选C。
