43、ree passages.Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Raccoons are arguably the most successful urban carnivore(食肉动物
44、)in NorthAmerica.They maintain large populations in most U.S.cities and are certainly just ascommon in Chicago,though actual population estimates are unknown.Almost anyonewho has spent time outdoors at night has likely seen one,and they are quite difficult toconfuse with anything else their fat bodi
45、es,and mask-like facial markings,makethem quite distinctive,and even perhaps charming.A typical urban raccoon is able to eat virtually anything.Their diet includes earthworms,carrion,plant matter,cat food,and all kind of discarded human food waste.Raccoons are probably the mostadvanced wildlife whic
46、h can dive our dustbins.Their paws(爪子)are quite dexterous and enablethem to access closed garbage dustbins.Raccoons are also capable climbers and can be found on thetop of fences and in trees.While they are typically solitary,they are willing to tolerate crowds ofother raccoons if high quality food
47、resources are present.They give birth once and sometimes twicea year in late spring and make use of a wide variety of den(巢穴)sites,including hollow trees,chimneys,etc.Because they make dens in a variety of human structures,raccoons can be a source ofhuman-wildlife conflict,through direct confrontati

49、n populations and causeda public health attention,to the point where use of vaccine have been attempted in some cities.In most cases where raccoons are reported by the public,no management action is necessary.Large packs of raccoons,such as those often sighted along the lakeshore path,likely suggest
50、 a largeartificial food source,such as people deliberately feeding raccoons on unchecked garbage.These largegatherings present a high disease risk and people should be strongly discouraged from feedingraccoons or leaving food outside for them.In cases where there is evidence of disease,individualrac
