D.theNetherlandsisthesecondlargestreserve答案：8-11BCCC解析：8．B细节题。从第一小节可看出是把这些动物迁往一个wildliferelocationproject，名叫theGreatLimpopoTransfrontierPark(GLTP)。9．C细节计算题。从第二小节可知有1,000只动物，而倒数第三小节说Underathree-yearplan,about6,000animalsaretobemovedintothearea，因此还有大概5,000只动物。10．C句意理解题。第二小节中theparkstraddlingSouthAfrican,MozambicanandZimbabweanterritory可见这个park跨越几个国家，但这些国家的边界不变，只是游客在园中游玩时，无需出示过境护照，Touristswillbeabletotravelacrossinternationalboundariesintheparkwithouthavingtoshowtheirpassports。11．C细节判断题。从Borderfencesarecomingdownwiththeestablishmentofthepark…toallowelephantsandotherherdstofollowancientmigrationroutes。28.IamgladthattheOlympicGameswillbeheldin2008inChina,_______?A．shallweB．aren’tIC．won’titD．won’tthey答案：D解析：在这种句式中,如果主句的主语为第一人称(we,I),反意疑问则根据从句确定。如Imsure,Ithink/believe/suppose/expect等。如果主语为第二、三人称,反意疑问句则根据主句确定。theOlympicGames作为复数来看待,故不选C。29.Finally
