Lesson 1
A Puma at large
逃遁的美洲狮
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
Where must the puma have come from?
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London
Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken
seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to
investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were
extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw a
large cat only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts
confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved
difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place
twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and
small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found
clinging to bushes. Several people complained of cat-like noises at night and a businessman on
a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was
a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the
country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to
escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to
think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
