Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near­disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello！” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor's Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.

　　Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable (可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor's most financially­troubled elements.

　　语篇解读　本文介绍了英国达特穆尔草原的马驹保护项目。

　　1．Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?

　　A. To protect the tourists from being bitten.

　　B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station.

　　C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger.

　　D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.

　　答案与解析　C　考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“By feeding the ponies，tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather”可知，不让游客喂马驹是为了保护这里的马驹免遭危险。故选C。
