The seabird population on a small British island off the coast Devon and South Wales has increased quickly following the removal of rats.

There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched 'in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing

50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.

Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. w This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations."

Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious?"It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "

A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country's most endangered mammals.

A. To kill invasive species.

B. To save seabirds in danger.

C. To keep balance in nature.

D. To decrease the rat's number.

What if a rollercoaster ride looked like this: no rails, no trains, just a chair on a mechanical arm (机械手臂)and a pair of glasses-VR glasses meaning virtual reality? That's how it is in Nanchang, China, where a new amusement park relies entirely on digital entertainment.

Compared with a traditional theme park, this VR theme park takes up smaller space and much less time to build, but it brings visitors similar playing experience. The park uses VR for a variety of attractions, including the roller coaster ride, a musical video game where you have to hit the right notes, and a shooter in a completely unreal environment. It really gives you the feeling of reality.

The park wants to invest in a future technology and hopes to keep peopled fascination with virtual reality of life. For the technology, it is still highly experimental. What we want to do with virtual reality is to experience things in and beyond reality, but in fact the VR we can experience right now has a lot of limits. For example, although on the visual front, we can say we've broken past reality in our visual experience, there's still a lack of physical feedback, meaning we can see the virtual world around us but we can't feel them. That limits the technology's appeal from many applications.

For now, one of its main uses is in professional training. For example, for pilots in a Boeing VR simulator(模拟器)，a real touchable interface is combined with a virtual world outside. Some significant development is still needed before we can virtually wander around in our houses, go for a walk without leaving the house or actually hold a product in our hands before buying it online. Nanchang hopes to become a significant VR player in the future not just with digital rollercoasters.

32. What can be an advantage of the VR theme park over traditional ones?

A. Its lower cost.

B. Its shorter building time.

C. Its larger area.

D. Its more exciting attractions.

33. What is the third paragraph about?

A. The Emits of the present VR technology.

B. The uses of VR technology in the future.

C. The vivid experience of playing a VR roller coaster.

D. The experiments done to improve VR technology.

34. What can be done now with the aid of VR technology?

A. Playing a musical instrument.

B. Walking out without leaving the house.

C. Training pilots in a simulator.

D. Touching a product when shopping online.

35. What’s the best title for the text?

A. A Roller Coaster without Rails

B. Nanchang：the Next King of VR Technology

C. Virtual Reality: Advantages and Disadvantages

D. VR Brings Theme Park Visitors New Experience

Wherever you are, in the city or at the campground, you'll find plenty of walking going on. Maybe you already love to walk, but you'll getting tired of tracing your same old route day after day—or maybe you're new to walking and aren't sure how to get started. 37 To get started, sit down with a map and find a goal. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? See new places? 38

If making friends and socializing is your goal, you may call up your friends and schedule walks with them, since this will introduce you to new places and trails. You might also find open groups of dog walkers at your local park. Your campground staff might know about fun local walking groups you can join.

39 In cities large and small all over the country, walks are going on almost every weekend in support of cancer research, diabetes research, and other humanitarian causes.

40 Then tie on your walking shoes and prepare to get to know the new area from the ground up! Many of our great historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly any city you can think of offers a walking tour with maps, provided by the tourist administration.

Many athletes have been told that smiling while 61 (sweat) will make our efforts feel easier. A marathon runner smiled widely through the final miles of his fastest-ever marathon；afterward, he said what he had hoped 62 (be) that the smiling would ease him to the finish line；But there has been lit- tle solid scientific evidence to support this idea. In recent years several past studies 63 ( examine)whether deliberately smiling can make changes to how people feel psychologically during races, 64 few have looked at the physical effect 65 sports performance.

Researchers decided 66 (gather) a group of experienced recreational runners and have them alternatively smile broadly as they ran. Many of the runners found it difficult to smile throughout the whole session, though. Their smiles became 67 (increase) fixed and unnatural. Such false smiles make 68 (few) facial muscles (肌肉)start working than the sincere version and most likely result in less 69

(relax) and performance improvement. So the key to using a happy smile to make you 70 better runner may be to smile sincerely and often near a race's end, but in 30-second bursts, rather than constantly.
