　　【语篇导读】　本文讲述了一只山羊作为猎物被送往俄国的一个动物园，但是最终和老虎成为亲密无间的好友的故事。本文还通过工作人员的讲述让人们了解了它们的日常生活。

　　1．解析：选C。细节理解题。由文章第一段A goat sent to a Russian animal park as live prey(猎物)for a tiger ...可知，山羊是作为老虎的猎物被送往俄国的动物园的。故选C项。

　　2．解析：选D。细节理解题。由文章第三段中The story of the unusual friendship has touched hearts in Russia，with the animal park releasing regular updates on the pair.可知，人们了解它们的信息是通过动物园对这对好朋友情况的定期更新。故选D项。

　　3．解析：选C。细节理解题。由文章第六段中Zoo chief Dmitry Mezentsev described the unlikely friendship as nothing short of a miracle.可知，Mezentsev认为这简直就是个奇迹。故选C项。

　　4．解析：选D。细节理解题。由文章第四段中...because the goat did not show any fear.和文章倒数第四、五段中．..Timur challenged Amur ...和"The tiger accepted the goat's challenge，" ...可知A项和B项错误。由文章第一段可知山羊是被送进动物园的，所以它们之前不可能是朋友。故C项错误。由文章倒数第二段The tiger has also attempted to teach the goat how to catch prey ...可知D项正确。
