The winter in Iceland has been one 0f the worst ever. An animal that was born in Iceland and just returned there has enjoyed the weather. Keiko is a killer whale who is now living in a hidden bay.
When Keiko was one or two years old, he was captured. This was in 1979. In 1982 he was moved to an amusement part in Ontario, Canada. Three years later another park took him to Mexico City. There, the 6.4-meter (21-foot) whale lived in a small pen with water that was too warm. In 1993 the "Free Willy" movie made people aware of his state. In 1996 the Free Willy Keiko Foundation moved him to a pool in an aquarium in Newport, Oregon.
The foundation has spent over $12 million to return Keiko to Iceland, his home. Late last year the 40,000 -pound ( 18,0 -kilogram) whale was flown on a C-17 transport plane to pen near the Wesman Islands.
Critics thought Keiko would suffer in the cold water. Instead, he is enjoying the cold and becomes more active. He likes to jump out of the water to get sprayed by the salt spray.
Since his return, he acting more like a wild whale. He dives more often, eats more live fish, and is more active.
Keiko still isn’t ready to go out alone into the open sea. Trainers hope to put him in a larger hay. They also hope to train him to follow a boat. They don’t know what Keiko will do when he meets other sea animals. So far the only animals who have come near Keiko’s cage left when they saw him.
They would like to let Keiko free this summer. No one knows if he will be ready. If he isn’t, the Keiko Foundation is ready to take care of him. It will cost about $1 million a year.
选项
A、die from the cold water in Iceland
B、would be happy to return home
C、want to be free
D、be able to catch his own food
答案
A
解析
见原文第四段。Keiko一两岁时被抓,之后不停地北转过多处地方饲养。但所有地方都在冰岛的南边,水温比冰岛高,而且已经是将近30年了。因此当人们决定把它放归大自然,回到它自己的家乡冰岛时,担心它已不能适应那里的低水温了。但相反,它非常适应。
