Ⅰ.阅读理解
Fikiri Kiponda’s path from accountant to marine(海洋的) conservationist was sparked by a chance encounter.
After securing his dream job，Kiponda decided he wanted more.He wasn’t quite sure what he was looking for until he ran across some turtle hatchlings.
He didn’t know it was turtle.Fortunately，he got the right person to ask and he got motivated.That person was Nkindi，a staff member at the Watamu Conservation Project，who later invited him to volunteer on the project.He later left his accounting job and fully devoted himself into the world of sea turtles.Now，he runs and spends his time nursing critically endangered sea turtles back to health.
Sea turtles have been around for nearly 110 million years and are now considered highly endangered.Their preservation rests on activities of conservationists such as Kiponda as these turtles face numerous threats and signs of their extinction in the next 50 years.
Local fishermen traditionally catch them to supplement their own low catch rates and sell them for their oil.As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists，there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.
Kiponda’s passion has now spread to his community，changing their attitude toward sea life preservation with his “by-catch release program”．
Through this program，fishermen are now paid for returning turtles accidentally caught in their fishing nets.The healthy ones are tagged and released into the marine park while he takes care of sick and injured turtles back to health.
Before the launch of pioneering spirit like this，turtles caught by fishermen were used for their meat and their oil extracted(提炼) for its medicinal properties.
“Releasing the turtle back into the ocean is a very good feeling；you feel like you’ve done something concrete and I guess everybody would love to do that...so I guess it’s unique work.”
1．What may be the main threat to the turtles?
A．The rising sea level.
B．Being caught by tourists.
C．Overdevelopment of the tourism.
D．The reduction in their nesting place.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据第五段第二句“As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists，there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.”可知，海龟受到的主要威胁是筑巢地的减少。

2．Which of the following words can best describe Fikiri Kiponda?
A．Energetic but conservative.
B．Enthusiastic and caring.
C．Arbitrary but considerate.
D．Ambitious and knowledgeable.
答案 B
解析推理判断题。

纵观全文可知，菲克里·齐旁达放弃自己原有的工作，热心投身于保护海龟的事业中，由此可推测，他是一个热情且有爱心的人。

3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Man Saving Endangered Sea Turtles
B．A Unique Job of Protecting Sea Turtles
C．A Pioneer Project Protecting Sea Animals
D．The Current Situation Faced by Sea Turtles
答案 A
解析标题归纳题。

本文主要记叙了菲克里·齐旁达保护海洋濒危动物——海龟的故事。

故A 项作为文章标题最为恰当。
