In September 2004, tourist David Budzinski visited Kruger National Park in South Africa. The eight-minute video that he recorded became an Internet hit and has been viewed by millions of people all over the world.
The video begins with a herd of Cape buffalo (水牛) approaching a watering hole. Nearby, a group of lions wait, hiding from their prey (猎物). As soon as the lead buffalo spots the lions, it turns, and the chase(追赶) is on. The lions separate a small Cape buffalo calf (小牛) from its mother and knock it into the water. The lions surround the calf and work slowly to pull it back out of the water. Before they are successful, however, a hungry crocodile comes by and takes hold of the calf’s back leg with its powerful jaws (嘴). Now the lions are trying to fight off the crocodile!
It may sound like the poor calf was sure to die, but what happens next is the reason this video became popular and has had over 64 million hits since it was posted in 2007.
As the lions and the crocodile are fighting over the calf, the other Cape buffaloes regroup and charge the lions! One buffalo throws a lion into the air with its large horns, and the others move with heavy steps and snort (哼) at the frightened lions. The calf, though injured, manages to stand up and return to its mother in the herd. The angry Cape buffaloes then chase the lions away from the watering hole.
The video of “The Battle at Kruger” is a powerful example of why you should nev er give up hope, even in the face of a

本文是一篇记叙文。

一位游客拍摄的一段视频在网上热传。

视频中，一头小非洲水牛被狮群包围了，然后又被一只饥饿的鳄鱼咬住了后腿，然而就在小水牛命悬一线的时刻，情况发生了逆转。

小水牛的妈妈和一群水牛冲过去围攻狮群，最终小水牛获救。

作者通过这个故事说明了一个道理：即使身处逆境也不要轻易放弃希望。

【答案解析】
1. D 写作意图题作者分享了一个网上热传的视频内容：一群水牛
发现一群狮子后转身逃跑，不过一头小水牛却遭遇狮子们的围攻，被迫与水牛群分开了。

更糟糕的是，一只饥饿的鳄鱼也赶了过来。

正当这群狮子和鳄鱼搏斗的时候，小水牛的妈妈和其他水牛又回来赶走了狮子，最后小水牛绝处逢生。

作者通过这个故事向读者传达永不放弃希望的主旨，因此选项D正确。

2. A 事实细节题根据第二段第四句可知，狮子们把小水牛和它的妈妈分开了，因此选A。

3. C 词义猜测题根据charge所在句的下一句可知，一头水牛把一只狮子用角顶起抛向了空中，其他的水牛愤怒地围攻了此时已感到害怕的狮子。

由此可推测，charge在句中的意思是“攻击”。

4. B 推理判断题文章最后一段是点睛之笔。

通过这个视频中的故事，作者想告诉人们永远不要放弃希望，即使是处于看似绝望的境地。

所以hope符合作者所表达的主题思想。
