During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of hay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.
Quite by accident I had pitched my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence, one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.
Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt, I staked out a property claim of my own, including a long section of the wolves’ path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected the trail, he stopped as abruptly as if he had run into an invisible wall.
Cautiously he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he hacked away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.
His glare seemed to become fiercer as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break.the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then briskly, and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area.
I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.
选项
A、hunter
B、biologist
C、journalist
D、traveler
答案
B
解析
文章第1段中作者指出用望远镜来观察狼群,而从文章可以看出作者对狼的生活习性很了解,在倒数第2段作者还敢盯着狼想要把它吓退,从这些信息都可以推断作者很可能是一个生物学家,具有较多的专业知识,因此本题选B。如果作为选项A(hunter),作者的目的是要捕猎狼群,他只要注意狼群的动向就好了,不会如第3段说得那样去标出自己的领土;同样,如果作为选项C的journalist或D的traveler,作者所做的应该只是观察,而不会像文中所述的那样做一些小实验,与狼群争地盘。
