　　28．C词义猜测题．根据第一段中的"resultinginanincreasednumberofuncontrollableeventsbetweenelephantsandhumans"可知，导致大象和人类之间无法控制的事件增多．所以这些变化最终引起了人类与大象之间混乱的状态，故选C．　　29．A细节理解题．根据第二段的"…n the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk…Olderelephantsarefedmostlycoconutleavesaswellasothernativeplants．Thentheelephantsaresetfreetowanderinthepark，eatinggrowinggrassandformingaherd．"可知早上给小象喂牛奶，大一的象吃椰子叶等天然植物，然后大象自由地在公园里游荡，吃着生长的草，形成了一大群．根据第三段中的"theETHhasafoster（领养）parentprogram．Anyone，evenschoolchildren，canhelpalotbygivingmoneytocareforababyelephant．"可知，保护区有领养项目，任何人都可通过捐钱来帮助照顾小象．所以保护区采取多种不同的方式照顾小象，故选A．　　30．B细节理解题．根据第三段中的"Fosterparentscannametheirelephants"可知，领养的父母可以给小象起名字．故选B．　　31．C主旨大意题．文章最后一段主要介绍了生活在ElephantTransitHome的小象今后的去向问题．故选C．
