Question

Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, the wildlife health center, workers receive baby animals, including songbirds and rabbits. This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones before sending them back into the wild.

  There are many reasons for these little animals' coming to the center. First of all, street cats or dogs catch, injure or take away little birds from their nests. Sometimes people catch baby animals and keep them at home, giving them food that they are not used to. It would make them sick. Most people don't realize that it's against law to get live animals out of their nests.

  As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die. This is because many people wrongly believe that once a bird is touched by a person, its mother will not accept this child bird. But that's not true.

  If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.

  As for the progress of protecting wild animals, people at Wild Friends devote all their energy to this work. Over the last weeks, they have been able to send many of the birds and rabbits that came here earlier this spring back to nature.

【解析】

試題分析：文章主要介紹了保護野生動物的事情。在春末的時候，野生動物中心的工人最忙，小鳥受到的影響最大。遇到小鳥從鳥巢里掉下來，應該確認是否受傷，沒有的話，把它送回鳥巢；受傷的話，及時送回野生動物中心。

1.根據第一段“Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, ...This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones”可知，在Wild Friends，工人最忙的季節是春季，故選A。

2.根據第三段“As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die.”可知，小鳥落在地面時，人們往往會置之不顧，讓它們自生自滅，這對它們來說是很危險的，故選C。

3.根據倒數第二段“If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.”可知，無論是放回鳥巢還是送到野生動物中心，都是為了幫助小鳥回家，D項是在小鳥受傷的情況下要做的，故選B。
