1.[D]根据文章第1段,老虎被捕杀是其数量剧减的根本原因,因此使老虎免于被杀是野生动物保护基金会的最终目的,故选D。
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。
5.[B]纵观全文,作者对于老虎保护项目没有加入个人的主观色彩,他持的是一种客观的态度,故选B。
