朱鶻保護創(chuàng)造拯救瀕危物種成功范例

成功繁育10余代，數(shù)量從7只增至9000余只

光明日報西安2月9日電（記者張蕾、張哲浩通訊員趙俠）一個世上僅存7個成員的物種，竟然能“起

死回生”！記者從陜西省林業(yè)局了解到，最新數(shù)字顯示，歷經(jīng)40年精心保護，曾極度瀕危的朱鶻，數(shù)量已

經(jīng)從1981年的7只增至9000余只，棲息地面積由不足5平方公里擴展到1.6萬平方公里。中國的朱鶻保護，

成為世界拯救瀕危物種的成功范例。

朱鵑，古稱朱鷺，在地球上已經(jīng)生存超過6000萬年。它姿態(tài)優(yōu)雅，體形端莊，翩然若仙，自古以來被

視為幸福吉祥之鳥。有學者認為，先秦典籍《鵑冠子.度萬》“鳳凰者，鶉火之禽，陽之精也''中"火鳳凰'’的

形象，就來自面頰雙腿朱紅、翅帶粉紅的朱鵑。

朱鵑曾廣泛生存于東亞地區(qū)，但由于人類過度使用農藥，加之濫捕濫殺，多個國家和地區(qū)相繼宣布滅

種。從1978年起，我國在全國范圍內展開野生朱鶻調查，歷時近3年、行程5萬多公里，足跡遍布14個

省份，才在秦嶺深處的陜西洋縣姚家溝發(fā)現(xiàn)了當時世界上僅存的7只野生朱鶻。隨即，對洋縣朱鶻出沒地

區(qū)實施封山育林，開啟對朱鶻的全方位保護。

“朱鶻種群恢復經(jīng)歷了非常艱難的過程?！瓣兾鲙煼洞髮W生命科學學院教授于曉平介紹，1981年至1990

年，由于種群基數(shù)小，加之缺乏科學手段，朱鶻種群恢復極為緩慢，始終未能突破20只；1991年至2000

年，隨著保護體系不斷完善，人工飼養(yǎng)繁殖和疾病防治技術日趨成熟，朱鶻數(shù)量突破100只?！斑M入21世

紀，特別是最近10年來，隨著一系列生態(tài)工程實施，秦嶺生態(tài)系統(tǒng)多樣性、穩(wěn)定性和持續(xù)性顯著增強，朱

鶻棲息地狀況得到極大改善，而朱鶻保護、繁育和野化放歸技術又接連取得重大突破，朱鶻營巢地逐漸超

過700處，數(shù)量接近萬只關口?！?/p>

隨著朱鶻數(shù)量增長，為了緩解洋縣承載壓力、解決近親繁殖等問題，朱鶻“易地保護”“野化放歸相繼啟

動。朱鶻棲息地由大山深處向丘陵平川擴展，由洋縣一隅向秦巴全域擴展，由長江流域向黃河流域擴展，

由陜西向全國擴展，并通過捐贈等方式向東亞國家擴展……

“目前，陜西已成功繁育朱鶻10余代，建立人工繁育種群5個、野化種群6個。在陜西之外的9個人

工繁育基地也相繼建成，通過野化放歸，將朱鶻重新引入歷史分布區(qū)，建立可自我維持的野生種群。目前，

已形成以在陜野生種群為，源種群'、各地放飛種群為，衛(wèi)星群’的中國朱鶻種群新樣態(tài)?！瓣兾魇×謽I(yè)局局長黨

【答案解析】

20.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Scientistshopetheycanturnthingsaroundforthisimportantapexpredator,meaningone

thatisontopofthefoodchain（鏈）”，美洲虎是處于食物鏈頂端的，也就意味著沒有其它動物能夠捕獵它們,

22.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Themainprey（獵物）ofthejaguaristhecapybaraandthecaiman.Theyareveryabundant

becauseoftheabsenceofthejaguar,whichcausesimbalancesintheecosystem.”可知，美洲虎的主要獵物是水豚

和凱門鱷。它們非常豐富，因為沒有美洲虎，這導致了生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的不平衡。所以單詞“abundant”指的是"充

足的，足夠多的“，故選A。
