Many people like feeding wild animals such as those cute squirrels or birds. It's a fun way for people to connect with wildlife. But is it always good for people to feed wild animals?
In winter, when the ground is very cold and hard, it's rather difficult for animals like foxes to find food. Giving animals food can help them to get through these hard times when their natural food is harder to find. Leaving food out for animals may also encourage biodiversity(生物多样性). A study has shown that people in the UK have seen a lot more kinds of birds in their gardens since 1970, which scientists have connected to more people using bird feeders.
For those who like seeing and watching wildlife, leaving food out is a perfect way to attract animals and get closer to nature. Research has shown that when humans play with wild animals, it improves people's mind health. Feeding animals is also helpful for people to learn more about the wildlife in their local area.
However, some people worry that leaving out food may leave a bitter taste. Some animals might depend too much on the food given to them, which could stop them from hunting for food on their own. Scientists say it's necessary for animals to develop these skills so that they can survive in the wild.
Another argument against feeding animals is that it can spread diseases among animals. Also, some of the food left out in people's gardens might not be suitable for animals' natural diets. Although some people will research what food to give to a certain animal, not everyone is so careful.
So what's your opinion? Should people feed wildlife or does providing food harm wildlife?

【分析】
本次是英语阅读理解题，包含词义猜测、推理判断、主旨大意三类题型。解题思路如下：
1. 第1题是词义猜测题，需结合划线短语所在句的上下文语境，后文提到喂食会让动物过度依赖人类食物、无法自主捕猎等问题，以此推断短语含义；
2. 第2题是推理判断题，需逐一分析选项，将选项与原文细节对比，排除错误选项，选出符合原文推断的答案；
3. 第3题是主旨大意题，需梳理全文结构，抓住核心讨论话题，确定最贴合的标题。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：划线短语“leave a bitter taste”所在句后提到“Some animals might depend too much on the food given to them...it can spread diseases among animals”等问题，说明该短语指“带来不良影响/问题”，对应选项A。
2. 推理判断题：
A选项：原文说冬季动物找食物“rather difficult”而非“impossible”，错误；
B选项：原文提到喂食改善“people's mind health”而非“physical health”，错误；
C选项：原文指出动物过度依赖人类食物会失去自主捕猎能力，影响野外生存，正确；
D选项：原文讨论喂食的利弊，并非“never feed”，错误。故选C。
3. 主旨大意题：全文围绕“是否应该喂野生动物”展开，先讲好处，再讲弊端，最后以提问收尾，核心话题是“Should people feed wildlife”，对应选项B。
