crowing to attract leopards that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on monday.the wild cats in the state of gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. but rather than use methods such as live bait like goats tied to trees to lure (引誘) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.“the moos of a cow, and bleating of a goat from the phone have proved effective to trap leopards,” said d. vasani, a senior forest official in gujarat. “this trick works.” vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. they then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal. at least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. the cats have all been released back into forest areas.wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative (新方案) saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured. 31. what can be the best title of the passage?a. cell phones to hunt animalsb. practical uses of cell phonesc.

free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at schools. because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.they spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. the relation with their friends changes. the virtual life becomes more important than their real life. they have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. they share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. although they feel confident on the

8-year-old girls and boys. sometimes the third graders didnt welcome philip into their group and usually tricked him. this was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. you see, philip suffered from a condition called downss syndrome. this made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems. one sunday after easter, the sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. the teacher gave one to each child. on that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs. after the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. the first opened egg contained a flower. everyone cheered. in another was a butterfly. when the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “thats stupid,” said someone. the teacher felt a pull at his shirt. it was philip. looking up, philip said, “its mine. i did it. its empty. i have new life, because the tomb is empty.” not a sound was heard in class at all. from that day on, philip became a real part of the group. they welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again. philips family knew he wouldnt live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.41. the underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means _. a. grade b. status c. health d. disease42. it can be inferred from the first paragraph that _. a. the 8-year-olds were

a. play around on that beautiful spring day b. put some symbol of “new life” into it c. try to pull it apart in the middle d. go out and discover themselves 44. after philip explained his new life, _. a. the class thought he was clever b. the class fell silent c. he began to study in the class d. he felt dying45. we learn from the passage that _. a. the teacher used to have classes outdoors b. the philips new life wish was empty c. philip was healthy as a whole d. philip was accepted by his classmates in the enddis there enough oil beneath the arctic national wildlife refuge (保護(hù)區(qū)) (anwr) to help secure americas energy future? president bush certainly thinks so. he has argued that tapping anwrs oil would help ease californias electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independence. but no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth，with the last government survey, conducted in1998，projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.the oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of u.s. consumption for as long as six years. by pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the u.s. from saudi arabia. sounds good. an oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall in tax revenues, royalties (開采權(quán)使用費(fèi)) and leasing fees for alaska and the federal government. best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “weve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice,” says alaska state representative scott ogan.not so fast, say environmentalists. sticking to the low end of government estimates, the national resources defends council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of anwr, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease americas energy problems. and consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. as for anwrs impact on the california power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the golden states electricity output - and just 3% of the nations.46. what does president bush think of tapping oil in anwr?a. it will increase americas energy consumption.b. it will exhaust the nations oil reserves.c. it will help reduce the nations oil imports.d. it will help secure the future of anwr.47. we learn from the second paragraph that the american oil industry _.a. shows little interest in tapping oil in anwrb. expects to stop oil imports from saudi arabiac. tends to exaggerate americas reliance on foreign oild. believes that drilling for anwr will produce high yields48. those against oil drilling anwr argue that _.a. it will drain the oil reserves in the alaskan regionb. it can do little to solve u.s. energy problemc. it can cause serious damage to the environmentd. it will not have much commercial value49. what do the environmentalists mean by saying “not so fast” (line1, para.3)?a. dont be too optimistic.b. dont expect fast returns.c. the oil drilling should be delayed.d. oil ex
