Endangered Tigers It is a desperate time for the world’s tigers. There were once a lot of these majestic creatures throughout eastern and southern Asia. (36)_______________. Conservationists have been working for decades to save the big cats but the number of wild tigers continues to drop. There were an estimated 100,000 tigers living in the wild a century ago, compared with no more than 5,000 today. Now, a new conservation idea is being discussed that could stop wild tigers from becoming extinct. As people change forests to cities and farms, tigers have lost their living areas. On top of that, poaching—the illegal hunting of wild animals—is a major threat to the cat’s survival. People sometimes hunt endangered species, like the tiger, to illegally sell the animal’s body parts for souvenirs, medicines, and even food. (37)_______________. By selling just one tiger, poachers can make enough money to live for a full year. A lot of people think that the tiger can really heal people. For more than 3,000 years, Chinese medicine has used tiger parts to treat sickness and injury. (38)_______________. Conservationists believe that a key to saving the world’s wild tigers from extinction is to put an end to poaching of tigers. (39)_______________. In addition, the selling and trading of products made from endangered species on the black market should be better controlled. Supporters of tiger-part farming say that this could help ward off poachers. They think that there are plenty of dead farmed tigers. If their body parts could be sold to medicine more easily the tigers’ value would drop on the black market and poachers would not make as much money from selling wild tiger parts. (40)_______________. They don’t believe farming will solve the problem. It costs as little as $20 for someone to catch a tiger using a simple trap but it costs thousands of dollars for a farm to raise one tiger from youth until adulthood. A. Most conservationists, however, do not want to test the idea. B. Some people even pay high prices to buy tiger skins or other animal parts on the black market. C. Followers of this medicine believe that eating the animal’s body parts will help cure diseases. D. To achieve that, more police need to be trained to catch the hunters and take them to court. E. Some organizations appealed to the public to protect endangered species. F. Now, wild tigers live only in small areas of India, China, and a few other countries. 请填入正确答案相应的大写字母! 36. __________
