参考答案
过去由于城市污染，很多动物远离城市，但随着城市环境的改善，城市范围的扩大，以及人们修建野生动物庇护所等举措的实施，越来越多的动物又回到了城市，开始了新的生活。
　　1．A推断题。文章第一段指出，随着开发商的到来，城市受到污染，狐狸就离开了，后来环境变干净了，狐狸又回来了，即第一段暗示了环境对于动物的重要性，所以A正确。
　　2．A推断题。文章第一段写狐狸回到了城市；第二段写城市中动物的数量和品种在增加；第三、四、五段写人为因素使城市适合动物的生存；最后一段写动物自己回到城市生活。总的说来全文是在写动物回到了城市生活，所以A正确。
　　3．C推断题。由文章第四段前两句可知，伦敦人为使动物回到城市付出了很多努力，这些努力的结果就是动物们重新回到了城市生活。作者在此提到这些动物，是为了说明伦敦人对野生动物所付出的努力，所以C正确。
　　4．D主旨题。文章第三段首句指出，城市的很多变化使野生动物又回来了，接下来的内容又谈论了一些具体的变化，由此可知，本段主要论述了野生动物回到城市里的原因，所以D正确。
　　5．B细节题。由文章第五段最后一句和第六段第一、二句可知，B正确。
