10.5percent in1969to almost40percent in1989,largely due to illegalhunting forivory.The recentban onivory inboth theUS andChina shouldhelp getrid of,or atleast reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientistsare notsure howlong itwill takefor elephantswithahigher rateoftusklessfemales,to changethe trend.、1What isthe probablecause ofthe phenomenonmentioned inParagraph1A.Illegal hunting.B.Constant farming.C.A purecoincidence.D.Natural evolution.、2Why didpeople killso manyelephants duringthe civilwar inMozambiqueA.To getfunds byselling ivory.B.To developnew weapons.C.To providefood forlocal people.D.To makeivoiy products.、3Which ofthefollowinghad theearliest recordon tusklesselephantsA.Gorongonsa NationalPark.B.South LuangwaNationalPark.C,The RuahaNationalPark.D.Lupande GameManagement Area.、4What doesthe underlinedphrase“the trend^inthelast paragraphrefer toA.Elephants facinggreater danger.B.Elephants growingmore slowly.C.Fewer femaleelephants stayingalive.D.More femaleelephants beingtuskless.Part BDirections:Read thefollowing textand answerthequestionsby choosingthe mostsuitable subheadingfromthelist A-G foreachnumbered paragraph41—
