17、 ticket officeBRecordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝 )either recorded or realmay even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with

18、bees living 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.- 4 -Lucy found a wild beehive inside

19、 a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder（录音机）. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speake

20、r in a close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on（打开） 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 a

21、ngry 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 families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed

22、 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 hasnt 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

23、the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.25. We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened of .A. loud noises B. some crops C. video cameras D. angry bees26.

Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.CSummer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke.

26、In the most wintery places, there isnt much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles(松针), wood smoke and snowthese are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintry weather brings its own set of olfactory (嗅觉的) experiences. But wh

27、y does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer?One reason is that odor molecules (气味分子) move much more slowly as the - 5 -air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer

28、smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. Its the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days.Whats more, our noses dont work quite well when the surrounding air is cold,

29、 Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies (活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.”

30、There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell, Hirsch added, and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell. In The Invalids Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting (腐烂的) dead body but is actually a box

31、 of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. “What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it and whatever you think it

32、to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, thats what you will interpret smells to be.”To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smell, cook more

33、sweet stews (炖菜) and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between the indoor and outdoor environments. “Youre probably fond of indoor smells in the winter,” Dalton said. “Homes are closed up, and windows are closed. We concentrate the smells of cooking and living.”29. According to the

34、 second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that _.A. air temperature affects smells spreading direction greatlyB. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soupC. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winterD. there are not many smells available（可获得的） to be smelled i

35、n winter30. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that _.A. one can easily feel terrible smell in a small spaceB. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh airC. ones mind and thoughts can affect the sense of smellD. ones opinion on smells is quite different form others31. Whi

36、ch of the following is NOT the measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter?A. Closing doors and windows. B. Cooking stews.C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies.- 6 -DBoiler（锅炉） rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new 47-unit living buil

37、ding in South Bronx, one of the citys poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that

38、would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions（排放） while also cutting costs. Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable

39、housing by providing support to housing developers.ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally clever and affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building mater

40、ials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.Michael Bloomberg, New Yorks mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Y

41、orkers. Almost 80% of New York Citys greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused by housing. So he recently announced that the citys Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the citys supply of affordable housing,

42、 will require all its new projects to follow ECPs green standards.Similar measures have been taken by other cities, such as Cleveland and Denver, but New Yorks DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.32.

47、shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard.

48、vice.There are many good things about 39 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example.
