  成都市武侯区2017阅读理解一轮训练(1)及答案

  阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项’s plans to find a new home for Knut, the moneymaking celebrity polar bear whose popularity has been exploited by environmentalists and even Canadian tourism promoters.

  No longer cute, and just days before his second birthday, Knut will be given a new home that is expected to include a potential mating partner.

  The Berlin Zoo, facing the global economic crisis, cant afford the estimated $ 13 million it would take to acquire a female and a new home for them to share. “Its time for him to go --- the sooner he gets a new home the better,” said senior bear keeper Heiner Kloes.

  But some Berliners are beginning a campaign, collecting petition (情愿书) signatures and arguing that hes a tourist draw and a symbol as important as the Brandenburg Gate. “He means a lot to many people. When youre with him you forget your problems,” Hartmut Wiedenroth, co-founder of the campaign, told Spiegel Online.

  Knut became an international celebrity in 2007, drawing huge crowds to his cage and triggering sales of thousands of Knut toys and Knut-shaped candies.

  The Vancouver-based Canadian Tourism Commission made Knut a major part of itsCanadaKeep Exploringcampaign to draw tourists to the country--- and especially to polar bear country in northern Manitoba to see them in their natural habitat. Environmentalists also used the bear to promote the fight against global warming.
