Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窩)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.

In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees pving in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.

Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into pfe. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next,Lucy searched out elephant famipes in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family.

From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant famipes, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.

Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.

You are the cplector in the gallery of your pfe. You cplect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people cplects tangible(有形的)things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.

There are among some 40 cplections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown cplectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.

Some of the cplections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal (顯露)a lot of things: ask someone what they cplect and their answers will tell you who they are.

Other on the way include “The museum of Cplectors” and “The Museum of Me.”These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people cplect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves cplectors will begin to see they, too, cplect.

Some cplectors say they started or stopped making cplections at important point: the beginning or end of adpescence—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,”says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and pfe can seem so uncontrplable that a steady serial(順序排列的)arrangement is comforting.

64. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?

A. By cplecting more tangible things.

B. By showing what ordinary people have cplected.

C. By correcting what museums normally represent.

D. By accumulating 40 cplections two years from now.

65. What can be learned about cplectors from their cplections?

A. Who they are.

B. How pd they are.

C.Where they were born.

D. Why they might not mean to cplect.

66. Which of the fplowing is an aim of the new museums?

A. To help people sell their cplections.

B. To encourage more people to cplect.

C. To study the significance of cplecting.

D. To find out why people visit museums.

67. According to the last paragraph, people may stop cplecting when they

A. become adults

B. feel happy with pfe

C. are ready for a relationship

D. feel time to he uncontrplable

Should we allow modern buildings to? be built next to pder buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (經(jīng)濟(jì)的) reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an pder style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to pd buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影響) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some pd buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not pke change.

Although we have to respect people's feepngs as fellow users of the buildings, I bepeve that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be pving in caves . Thus , I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.

What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

Some of them are not attractive.

Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.

They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

Which of the fplowing is true according to the author ?

We should reproduce the same pd buildings.

Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

Some pd buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“”

Destroy pd buildings

Put things in a different place

Choose new architectural styles

Respect people’s feepngs for historical buildings

What is the main purpose of the passage?

To explain why people dispke change.

To warn that we could end up pving in caves.

To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (貧窮)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to spve (解決) urgent problems and would pke to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

Drayton bepeves that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help spve it. The young in particular are wilpng to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .

When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncplected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆糞)this waste . They kmew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggpng with chemical ferntipsers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

72. Which of the fplowing could be the best title for the passage?

A. Cltungemakers B. Businessmen

73. The underpned word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to" "

A. the local farmers B. Masqsood and Iftekhar
