【考點(diǎn)】OC：人文地理類閱讀；P2：文中細(xì)節(jié)；P4：邏輯推理.

【分析】文章主要講述了旅鴿的滅絕的故事，由于人們警惕意識(shí)弱，相關(guān)法律出

臺(tái)太晚，最后一只旅鴿也在100年前死去.

【解答】DBCB

24.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，據(jù)計(jì)算，旅鴿數(shù)量最多時(shí)，有30

多億只，相當(dāng)于美國(guó)鳥類總數(shù)的24%-40%.到1870年，旅鴿的數(shù)量已經(jīng)減少

了，但是，有人在Cincinnati附近看到鴿群的規(guī)模為1英里寬，320英里長(zhǎng).由

此可見，在18至19世紀(jì)，旅鴿的數(shù)量最多.第一段的第二句也是關(guān)鍵信息.故

選D.

25.B.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，旅鴿的數(shù)量巨大最終導(dǎo)致它們滅

絕.undoing意為"毀滅"，與ruin同義.故選B.

26.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段可知，商業(yè)獵人用大網(wǎng)來圍捕旅鴿，然后運(yùn)到

大城市賣給餐館，由此可見，人們捕殺旅鴿主要是為了賺錢.故選C.

27.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，1897年密歇根州出臺(tái)了法律，

禁止捕殺旅鴿.那時(shí)，人們已經(jīng)十年沒有看到大規(guī)模的旅鴿群出沒.由此可知，

保護(hù)旅鴿的法律出臺(tái)太晚了.故選B.

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本篇閱讀理解主要考查考生對(duì)書面語篇的整體領(lǐng)悟能力和接受及處理具

體信息的能力，學(xué)生應(yīng)該挖掘寓意，掌握中心思想，推出結(jié)論.做題時(shí)要立足于

文章整體，再迅速讀一遍短文，短文中的問題和答案的設(shè)置前后都是相關(guān)聯(lián)的，

有著一定的連續(xù)性，體現(xiàn)著文章的基本脈絡(luò).
