21、Lions, tigers, and bears definitely aren’t meant to live as a pack. But not every animal has been through the misery that established the bond between three normally opposing male predators (捕食者).
Back in 2001, police searched a drug dealer’s house in Atlanta, Georgia. In the basement, they came across a heartbreaking sight. There sat three terrified cubs (幼崽) found skin and bones that certainly didn’t belong in anyone’s home.
The African lion, Leo, had been stuffed inside a small container with an open wound on his face. Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger, looked bony, and the black bear, Baloo, was wearing a chain so small that it had become embedded into his flesh.
But their nightmare was finally over. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources took them to Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, a nonprofit animal rescue in Locust Grove. “When they were first brought to the sanctuary, Baloo, Shere Khan, and Leo were injured, frightened and clinging to one another for comfort,“guardian Allison Hedgecoth told HuffPost. And as they got more comfortable, they accompanied each other, cuddled, and played together. Clearly, they were a bonded trial .
Sanctuary staff anticipated the need to separate the friends once they reached maturity, as they would likely grow apart. After all, it’s the natural order in the animal kingdom. But the trio, known as BLT (bear, lion, tiger), never left each other’s sides. The sanctuary ultimately decided to keep them together.
Baloo, the playful one, loved teasing Leo with gentle bites. And the affectionate Shere Khan could often be found curling up to either of his brothers. “Even though they live in a three-acre enclosure, they’re usually within 100 feet of each other,” Allison told Inside Edition. “That’s proof that they’re not just coexisting or cohabiting, they actually do enjoy each other’s company.”
【1】Why could the three animals live as a pack?
A．Because they preferred hunting in groups.
B．Because they shared a miserable experience.
C．Because they were terrified to be caught alone.
D．Because they were rescued from the basement.
【2】What do the underlined words “a bonded trial” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．A frightened animal.
B．A chemical bond.
C．An isolated individual.
D．A close community.
【3】What do we know about Leo, Baloo and Shere Khan?
A．Baloo usually bit and clawed at his brothers.
B．They lived together for the sake of coexistence.
C．They took delight in being wonderful companions.
D．Shere Khan was the most playful and energetic one.
【4】What is the text?
A．A diary entry.
B．A children’s fiction.
C．A feature story.
D．A science documentary.
