California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning（铅中毒） nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.

In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.

Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution（电死） if they touch two lines at once.

So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（肾） failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5. 4% in

Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital fo r now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. ”

28.California condors attract researchers’ interest because they_________.

A. are active at night

B. had to be bred in the wild

C. are found on in California

D. Almost died out in the 1980s

29. Researchers have found electrical lines are_________ .

A. blocking condors’ journey home

B. big killers of California condors

C. rest places for condors at night

D. used to keep condors away

30. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning_________ .

A. makes condors too nervous to fly

B. has little effect on condors’ kidneys

C. can hardly be gotten rid of form condors’ blood

D. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds

31. The passage shows that_________ .

A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory

B. Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering

C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results

D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem

D

Scientists said on Thursday they have for the first time detected gravitational （引力的）waves, ripples （涟波） in space and time hypothesized （假设） by physicist Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery that opens a new window for studying the cosmos.

Discovering gravitational waves would be a huge deal for physics, cosmology, and our understanding of the universe at large. But if you’re not a scientist studying one of the mentioned fields, it’s possible you’ve never heard of these my sterious ripples. So what are gravitational waves and why is the discovery so significant？

Gravitational waves are disturbances in space-time, the very fabric of the universe, that

travel at the speed of light. The waves are sent out by any mass that is changing speed or direction. The simplest example is a binary （二元的） system, where a pair of stars or compact objects （like black holes） orbit their common center of mass.

We can think of gravitational effects as curvatures （曲率） in space-time. Earth’s gravity is constant and produces a static curve in space-time. A gravitational wave is a curvature that moves through space-time much like a water wave moves across the surface of a lake. It is generated only when masses are speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

The new discovery was made by a group of more than 1,000 scientists from universities around the United States as well as in 14 other countries. Director David Reitze announced on Thursday at a press conference that they detected gravitational waves.

While opening a door to new ways to observe the universe, scientists said gravitational waves should help them gain knowledge about mysterious objects like black holes and neutron stars. The waves also may provide insight into the mysterious nature of the very early universe.

The scientists said that because gravitational waves are so radically （彻底地）different from electromagnetic waves they expect them to reveal big surprises about the universe.

33. The author explains the term of gravitational waves _______.

A. by classifying

B. by giving cause and effect

C. by making a comparison

D. by presenting a definition

34. The number of the countries that have scientists in the new discovery of gravitational waves is _______.

A. 12.

B. 13.

C. 14.

D. 15.

35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

A. Scientists can get further information about the universe by studying gravitational waves.

B. Scientists expect gravitational waves to reveal big surprises about the universe.

C. Gravitational waves are so radically different from electromagnetic waves.

D. Scientists from all the world work together to study the mystery of the solar system.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What is your favorite color？ Do you like yellow, orange, red？ ___36___. Do you prefer（更喜欢）greys and blues？ Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend（倾向于） to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists（心理学家） tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect（影响） that colours have on human beings. ___37___ . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

___38___. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. ___39___ . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts（企图） immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

___40___. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend ,painting the house or digging the garden。

What is the reason, then？ In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the Job they are doing .It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car. But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say：I have made something !

Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized, No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs。

书面表达

In the passage, the author mainly stressed the importance of small and ordinary work, such as cleaning the street because of their essentiality for the organization of the society ,and thinks those doing such jobs should be respected greatly。

There is no doubt that what a cleaner does is more harder compared with any other jobs in the society. On one hand, they must get up in the early morning every day to clean the street while we are sill in the sweet sleeping dreams. On the other hand, they also suffer from less respect and lower pay, working all day on the street no matter it is sun shines strongly or snow, wind heavily。

Nobody could imagine what an bad environment we would live in if there were no cleaners in the city. Wherever we go, there is rubbish. Maybe we would soon be drowned in the mountain of rubbish. Even worse, if there were no change about that, diseases would spread at a very quick speed. Is there anything that can be worse than this!

From the above, I can draw the conclusion safely that even the smallest and the most ordinary job, such as cleaning the street is also the necessary part to keep the society going smoothly. Consequently, those who do those most insignificant jobs should get respected as much as those being engineers or doctors。
