問題詳情：
Known as “wolf girl” at her West Warwick, R．I. school, Alyssa Grayson has spent much of her young life teaching others to protect and respect animals. After starting a wolf club in the second grade, Alyssa learned all she could about her favorite animals. Today, she gives presentations about protecting wolves at libraries and schools—she's even spoken at a university. In fact, she's become such a wolf expert that she was appointed as the first junior advisor to the National Wolfwatcher Coalition.
When she's not teaching others about wolves, Alyssa can be found volunteering at her local animal shelter, taking care of dogs and cats. She's also trained as a citizen scientist for FrogWatch USA. In short, Alyssa Grayson proves that you are never too young to make a difference for animals.
When asked how she got interested in saving wolves, Alyssa says, “I've loved wolves since I saw them in a movie when I was 2 or 3 years old. Then one day I saw a commercial about wolf hunting. I asked my mother why people do this, and she told me because people don't like wolves. I decided from then on that I wanted to save wolves.”
Today, wolves are hunted, trapped, or poisoned. Hunters chase wolves for miles in an airplane until the wolves are too exhausted to run anymore. Then they shoot them. The animal doesn't have a chance to escape. Animals are also trapped for their fur. They are left to suffer in a trap with no food, water, or shelter. Alyssa thinks the fur looks better on the animal in the wild, where it's meant to be, than on a human.
Alyssa believes wolves are important to our worlds. She says, “Wolves are an apex predator, which means they are at the top of the food chain. Removing them from the ecosystem is a big mistake. The ecosystem is like a chain of dominoes (多米諾骨牌)—with the apex predator as the one in front. If you were to knock down that domino, the rest of the chain would go down too.”
People usually think of “the Big Bad Wolf” when they hear about wolves. However, Alyssa says, “If they would base their thoughts on facts, not fairy tales, we wouldn't have people wanting to kill wolves.”

【回答】
1.C 細節理解題。根據文章首句中的“has spent ... to protect and respect animals”以及下文所述她喜歡狼並呼籲大家保護狼這一物種可知，阿莉莎在學校中被稱為“狼女”，是因為她花費時間做了很多事情保護狼。故選C。
2.B 細節理解題。根據文章第二段描述可知，她除了關心狼之外，還照顧其他的動物，如貓和*。故選B。
3.D 段落大意題。文章第四段主要講述了狼被獵殺、被圍困或被毒亡的事實。人們為了它們的皮毛不斷地去獵殺它們，不給它們逃生的機會，所以該段講述了狼是被如何對待的。故選D。
4.C 推理判斷題。根據最後一段可知，當人們提到狼的時候往往説“大壞狼”。如果人們把想法建立在事實的基礎上，而不是童話上，我們人類就沒有人想要殺死它們了。因此可推知，阿莉莎鼓勵人們客觀地對待狼，看到狼真實的一面。故選C。
