Answer: D
1. Key words: minimal threat, provided, lynx habitats
The next part of the seventh paragraph stated that “The lynx requires deep cover, and as such presents little risk to sheep and other livestock, which are supposed, as a condition of farm subsidies, to be kept out of the woods”. The term “little risk” means “minimal threat”, “as a condition” means “provided”, “kept out of” is the same as “kept away from” and “the woods” refers to “lynx habitats”. We can paraphrase this sentence like this: “the lynx only poses a minimal threat to livestocks, provided
that they are kept away from lynx habitats”. Since farm animals also mean livestock, the answer is F – “farm animals”.
Minimal threat = little risk
Provided = as a condition
Kept away from = kept out of
Answer: F
1. Key words: link efficiently, initiatives, return
In the seventh paragraph, it is mentioned that the reintroduction of the lynx “marries well”, meaning “links efficiently”, with the aim of “bringing forests back to parts of our bare and barren uplands” which imply “certain areas of the country”. Since “bring something back” means “return” and “initiative” can be understood as“aim”, the answer would relate to forests. Hence, it should be A – “trees” • Link efficiently = marries well
Answer: A
1. Britain could become the first European country to reintroduce the lynx.
Key words: first European country, reintroduce
In the eighth paragraph, the author told us that he “heard several conservationists suggest that the lynx could be reintroduced there within 20 years”, meaning that the reintroduction of the lynx in Britain has not happened yet. In addition, it is also stated that “The lynx has now been reintroduced to the Jura Mountains, the Alps, the Vosges in eastern France and the Harz mountains in Germany”. Therefore, Britain cannot be the first European country to reintroduce the lynx. The answer is NO.
