      By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report,only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout theworld-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, whofollowed and counted tiger footprints, estimatedthat in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed inIndia. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. wasimmediately launched. Nine tiger reserves(保留地)were created, with armed guards protecting them.

      The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in thereserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show thata male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 square kilometers,depending on its age, size and strength. Theterritory of male includes the smaller territories(领地) of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urineand other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by thedistinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending heryoung, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.

      The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studiesshow that it catches only one of 20 victims it tries to attack.

      Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled thetiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India"s human population has also grown outof control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century.

      2.[B] 第3段第2句说,但研究表明老虎捕捉猎物的成功率仅为1/20,B与之相符。第2段说到老虎一般会避免领土之争,C与之不符,故排除;A、D在原文中并未提及均可排除。

      3.[A] 第2段第2句提到,研究表明,一头雄老虎依年龄、体型及力量可以控制10至20公里的狩猎领地,随着老虎的长大,其体型及力量都在增大,其占领的狩猎领地的面积自然也就增大,故A正确。

      4.[C] 文章第4段首句说,许多人近来开始担心老虎项目过于成功,C项是该句的同义替换,故为答案。
