A decade ago biologists identified a remote protected area in northern Laos, called Nam Et-Phou Louey, as the country’s probable last haven for wild tigers. To formally【C1】________ this supposition, researchers set up camera traps in 2013 and quickly【C2】________two tigers’ presence.【C3】________the success was short-lived: over their study’s four-year course, they never saw those or any other tigers again. This result proves that tigers are now functionally 【C4】________in Laos.
The researchers also found that leopards, formerly presumed to still live in the park, have【C5】________as well. "For the remaining protected areas in Southeast Asia for tigers, this was an important one—maybe【C6】________a potential jewel in the crown," says senior author David Macdonald, a wildlife conservationist at the University of Oxford. "To find that that jewel has blinked out is devastating." Laos’s tiger loss is part of a(n)【C7】________trend across Southeast Asia; the animals have【C8】________disappeared from Vietnam and Cambodia. In almost every study site Macdonald and his colleagues have surveyed, wild tigers—which number fewer than 4,000 worldwide—are in steep【C9】________or completely absent. So are once【C10】________leopards.
Habitat loss is partly to【C11】________. but Macdonald says that the main【C12】________is "the astonishing, destructive tide of illegal hunting." Akchousanh Rasphone from Oxford, and her colleagues installed and【C13】________300 camera stations across Nam Et-Phou Louey’s nearly 6,000 square kilometers of rugged, steep mountain ridges and【C14】________forest. Over four years they observed 43 mammal and bird species—but no leopards and, after 2013, no tigers.
Leading international non-profit groups support Laos’s efforts【C15】________illegal hunting in its main protected areas, but as in many other countries,【C16】________still find ways to kill wildlife. "These findings are not at all surprising," says Ullas Karanth, a biologist at the Center for Wildlife Studies in Bengaluru. "There’s so much forest and so much【C17】________at this study site and throughout Southeast Asia, but without ground-level【C18】________against local people doing industrial-scale hunting, the wildlife will go." Tigers can【C19】________in human-dominated landscapes: India has the world’s second highest human population, but it has prioritized tiger【C20】________and now hosts two thirds of the planet’s remaining wild tigers.
【C1】
选项
A、track
B、test
C、assure
D、claim
答案
B
解析
空格所在部分需要填入一个动词,与句首的To formally一起构成搭配,表示目的,即“为了正式地……”。上文谈到生物学家猜测老虎在老挝几乎消失,空格后supposition意为“假说;假设”,可以得知生物学家将要验证这个假说,因此,符合条件的只有B项test(检测;检验),意为“为了正式地检验这个假设”。其他三个选项的track(追踪)、assure(确保,一般指让某事一定发生)、claim(声称),构成的搭配为“为了追踪、确保、声称这一假设”,不符合上文语意,故排除。
