Ⅴ.阅读与回答问题
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(每题答案不超过 10 个词)
Cheetahs, the world’s fastest land animals, died out in India over 70 years ago. Now, a new project (项目) is working to bring cheetahs back to India.
Asian cheetahs lived all over India a long time ago. But by 1952, they were said to be gone forever. One of the main reasons was that people took a lot of cheetahs’ natural land. People also killed them for their spotted skins (有斑点的皮).
Since 1952, people have tried to get cheetahs to go back to India. They set eight cheetahs free in Kuno National Park in September 2022. The cheetahs that were set free were not Asian cheetahs but African cheetahs. They are a gift from Namibia’s government. But the number of African cheetahs has also been going down. Now, there are only about 8,000 left. Some scientists believe that bringing cheetahs back to India will help keep them from dying out.
Kuno is a 289-square-mile protected area. But there is no fence around it, so the cheetahs are free to walk into nearby forests as well. There are tracking collars (追踪项圈) on all of the cheetahs.
India plans to spend about 11 million on “Project Cheetah” over the next five years. The project hopes to get about 40 cheetahs to live in Kuno. South Africa sent a second group of 12 cheetahs. They arrived in October 2022.
But cheetahs will face some problems in Kuno National Park. And not everyone thinks that “Project Cheetah” will work. Before the cheetah project was given the green light, India was preparing Kuno as a place for Asian lions. Some scientists say Kuno is better for lions than cheetahs. Cheetahs need open areas with hiding places, such as grasslands. But some scientists point out that Kuno has more forests than grasslands. Valmik Thapar, who is famous for working to protect tigers, says, “This area is full of leopards (美洲豹) and hyenas (鬣狗), which are two of the cheetah’s biggest enemies.” He also worries that the cheetahs might not have enough food and that many of them will die.
