　　(2017·重庆卷，D)One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest，the next，the air was charged with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire－crackling，snapping，trailblazing.But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again－the tell­tale call of a spotted deer.

　　I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches，beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows­within­shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach，the forest was silent.

　　Gradually，the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck；there was a soft part，free of wrinkles and hairs，behind her ear.
