【解析】

试题分析：本题介绍大象的能搬运1200磅的圆木， 同时也介绍了大象用象鼻子能做许多的事情。世界有两种大象，一种是非洲象，另一种是印度象。它们的象牙引起人类对它们的杀害，每一年都有很多的大象被害，现在要求人们不要购买象牙制作的东西，加入保护大象的队伍。

1.细节理解题。联系前文，介绍大象的生活习性，能够运很生重的物体，因此也说出大象每天能吃300磅食物。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据上句Elephants can be trained to Carry logs(圆木)with their trunks句意：大象可以被训练运输圆木用它们的鼻子。说明象鼻的一个作用，又介绍了另一作用喝水、洗澡等等。故选E。

3.细节理解题。上文介绍非洲大象和印度大象进行比较，因此本句又一次提及到印度象，故选D。

4.细节理解题。联系下文，我们应该阻止大象被杀害。上文又讲人们为了得到象牙而杀害大象，因此这里介绍大象被杀的数量，故选C。

5.细节理解题。原句：Don’t even buy anything that looks like ivory!告诫人们不要购买用象牙制作的东西，保护大象。故选B。
