安迪住在洛基山的高處。他在山上捕獵野生動物，也帶其他人打獵。那是他的工作。
一天，一封信給安迪帶來了一份新的工作。這個工作不但改變了他對動物的看法，也改變了他的狩獵方式。信中寫道：“我想寫一篇關于大角羊的故事，我需要為故事配上圖片。請問你可以為我拍攝大角羊的照片嗎?”
安迪的兩個兒子希望父親接受這份工作。“我們會幫助你的!”他們說。大角羊野性很強，安迪知道給大角羊拍攝照片會很困難。“但是為什么不試試呢?”他的兒子們說。
幾天來，安迪和他的兒子們努力嘗試拍攝大角羊的照片。他們不希望被大角羊發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以他們走路很輕。他們躲在巖石的后面，但是大角羊總會逃掉。
然而有一天，安迪和他的兒子們走到一塊大巖石附近。他們和幾只大角羊撞個正著，但是這些羊并沒有逃跑!“現(xiàn)在我知道那些羊為什么跑掉了，”安迪說，“它們逃跑是因為我們悄悄地跟在它們后面。從現(xiàn)在開始，我們就待在它們能看見我們的地方。”
第二天，安迪看見羊群就站在開闊處。他和他的兒子們朝羊群走過去，他們沒有試著躲藏，但是走得非常慢，他們知道只要稍微走快一點都會嚇跑羊群。
“不要直視那些羊，”安迪說，“野生動物不喜歡被盯著看，他們會逃跑的。”他們朝這邊看看朝那邊瞅瞅，越來越接近羊群。一會兒，他們就走到足夠給羊群拍攝清晰照片的位置了。他們跟這些野生羊群成了朋友，還幫那位作家拍攝了很多精彩的照片。從那時起，他們再也沒有捕獵過大角羊。

21.D【精析】細節(jié)題。題干意為“安迪得到了一份什么新工作?”文章第二段最后“The letter said：‘l want to write a story about bighorn sheep.1 need pictures to go with my story.Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?”提到，安迪收到了一封信，信中作家請求他幫忙拍攝大角羊的照片。文章的最后一段也提到他們幫作家拍攝了很多照片。故D正確。
22.B【精析】細節(jié)題。題干意為“接近大角羊最好的方法是什么?”根據(jù)第七段第一句安迪的口述“Don’t look fight at the sheep，”可知。不能直視羊群，所以排除A。第六段最后一句“They knew that any fast move will frighten them away.”說明走路速度過快也會嚇跑羊群，更不用說跑了，所以排除c。第四段最后一句“They hid behind rocks，but the sheep always fan away.”說明跟在羊群后面，羊群也會逃跑，故排除D。結合第五段及第六段內容可知，慢慢地從正面接近大角羊是正確的方式，故B正確。
23.D【精析】歸納題。題干意為“安迪從這份新工作中收獲了什么?”文章第一段中提及這份工作帶給安迪的變化，最后一段也說明他們和大角羊成了朋友，安迪通過這份工作對大角羊有了更多的了解。A、B、C三項在文中都沒有體現(xiàn)，故D正確。
