The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean, off the western coast of South America. They are a rocky, lonely spot, but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world. One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises left on earth.
Weighing hundreds of pounds, these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands. Strangely, each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises. There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands, and each kind is slightly different from the other.
Hundreds of years ago, thousands of tortoises were around these islands. However, all that changed when people started landing there. When people first arrived in 1535, crews would seize as many tortoises as they could. They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships. The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs, so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews. Almost 100,000 tortoises were carried off in this way.
The tortoises faced other problems, too. Soon after the first ships, settlers arrived, bringing pigs, goats, donkeys, dogs and cats. All of these animals ruined life for the tortoises. Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on, while the pigs, dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year. Within a few years, it was hard to find any tortoise eggs or even any baby tortoises.
Finally, in the 1950s, scientists decided that something must be done. The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats, dogs and other animals as they could from the islands. Next, they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born; This slow, hard work continues today, and, thanks to it, the number of tortoises is now increasing every year. Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all.
1.What makes the Galapagos Islands unusual?
A.The biggest islands in the Pacific Ocean.
B.Rocky, lonely spot.

B.Tortoises move around very fast.
C.There are different kinds of tortoises.

3.What did first comers to the island do with tortoises hundreds of years ago?
A.People cooked them as food.
B.Scientists took measures to protect them.
C.Pigs, dogs and cats ate many baby tortoises.
D.Settlers brought other tortoises to the islands.
4.What happened soon after people brought animals to the islands?
A.Tortoise eggs were kept in safe containers.
B.The animals ate the tortoises’ food and eggs.
C.The tortoises continued to wander freely.
D.The tortoises fought against the other animals.
5.What happened to the tortoises because of the scientists’ effort?
A.The tortoises began to disappear gradually.
B.The number of tortoises began to decrease.
C.Scientists took away other animals off the islands.
D.There are more and more giant tortoises on the islands.

The forest in Senegal, a country in western Africa, is full of the chimps’ usual noises. Suddenly dogs bark. Larger male chimps drop from the trees to face the threat while the others climb to safety. Then the dogs’ young human masters appear.
One mother chimp with a tiny baby tries to run. The dogs attack and separate them. The two teenage boys quickly catch the baby chimp. But they don’t act out of sympathy --- they save the baby so they can sell it.
After the teenagers return to their hometown, they visit a man who is said to be very interested in chimps. When they ask the man, Johnny Kante, if he wants to buy the baby, he replies, “That’s not what we do.” Kante is a member of a scientific team. Although Kante is angry with the teens for capturing the chimp, he hides his anger and persuades them to take him to the baby chimp.
Unsure of what to do next upon seeing the chimp, Kante calls Jill Pruetz, the head of the chimp research team. “I’m really worried,” says Pruetz, doubtful that the mother is still alive. But knowing that wild chimps sometimes adopt orphans（孤儿）， Kante and pruetz decide they must try to return the baby chimp to its wild community.
Kante pays another visit to the teenagers. After he explains how much trouble they are in, because chimps are an endangered species, he requests they should give him the frightened baby without payment. They agree. Kante takes the baby chimp to his home and feeds her milk from a bottle whenever she cries.
The next morning, Pruetz and Kante leave the baby with another team member and begin their search for the wild chimps. Pruetz quickly finds the group in the woods. She recognizes the female that is without her child.
Pruetz is so excited that she runs the entire mile back to bring the baby chimp to the tree where the chimps are hanging out. The researchers place the baby on the ground near the tree and back away. Almost immediately, a male chimp drops to the ground and stares at the baby curiously. He carries her back to where the mother is waiting.
Pruetz still can’t believe how fortunate they were to have reunited the mother and child. “Surprising is the only word I can think of,” she says.
1.The dogs’ master visit Johnny Kante to ______________.
A.sell the baby chimp
B.ask him to take care of the baby chimp
C.wash the baby chimp’s wound
D.ask him to return the baby chimp to its wild community
2.When Kante sees the little chimp the first time, he’s __________.
A.a bit at a loss B.excited
C.angry D.clear about how to save her
3.It can be learned from the passage that ___________.
A.Kante feeds the baby chimp carefully in the lab
B.larger male chimps protect other chimps when there are dangers
C.the teenagers get some money after setting the baby chimp free
D.Pruetz and Kante take the baby chimp with them to search for the wild chimps.
4.What is the main idea of the passage? ________

C.The dangers the wild chimps are facing.
D.How caring people reunite a baby chimp with her mother.
