三、閱讀理解

• 7．The words "protect animals" appear everywhere in books and on screens because some animals are in danger of dying out.But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
     About 300 black bears were killed in Florida，the US，in October，2015.It's been the first bear hunt since 1994.
     Animal protection groups protested this decision.But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3，500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years，bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
     This brings an old question back into the spotlight - which is more important，protecting animals or protecting people's interests？
     This question is asked in other countries too.In Switzerland，a wolf was sentenced to death by the Swiss government months ago.This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money.Days ago in China，three old men were arrested for killing a serow （鬣羚），a protected species.But they insisted they didn't know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their crops.
     However，these stories don't always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests，especially involving economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin，Guangxi.He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears.But his base also offered jobs to local people.
     "There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development，" said Robert May，a British biologist at Oxford University. "But we shouldn't push either one to the side，as the future is hanging in the balance."
  
  （1）In October 2015，F(xiàn)lorida held its first bear hunt after about

  .
  A．five years
  B．ten years
  C．fourteen years
  D．twenty-one years
  （2）What does the underlined word "menace" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Danger.
  B．Chance.
  C．Relief.
  D．Treasure.
  （3）What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen's story？

  
  A．Protecting animals needs hard work.
  B．Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.
  C．Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
  D．Protecting animals can bring economic development.
  （4）Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with？

  
  A．Human development should be considered first.
  B．We should pay more attention to animal protection.
  C．We should consider both the environment and human interests.
  D．It's difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
