Understanding in context
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope.The population dropped by more than 50 percent.Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits.Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection.Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list.The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars.I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me.Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life.Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world’s leading women scientists, had a remarkable career.The work she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long-term study of the mountain gorillas.She set up a camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.
Fossey’s aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which
required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现).By copying gorillas’behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas’trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey’s favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she’d fought against.On her tombstone (墓碑) “No one loved gorillas more”.
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her story. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。
