But there could be a simple and relatively safe way to stop them in their tracks，by

17、employing the talents of the tiny African honeybees.The number of elephants in Kenya has risen over the past ten years，with some disastrous results. Not only do these huge animals attack local farms，but they step someone to death an average of once every two weeks. Now a biologist has discovered a p

18、ossible threat：the elephants are extremely aware of trees that house honeybee hives “I am puzzled why nobody has thought of this before，”says Fritz Vollrath at the University of Oxford. “When an elephant knocks a beehive he runs and the bees will follow him for miles. ”He says that placing hives of

19、the honeybees around local farms and fragile habitats could be an effective way to threaten the animals.Volirath put 30 unoccupied and 6 occupied beehives in some of the trees growing on a bush frequently damaged by elephants on Laikipia Plateau in Kenya. On average the elephants attacked 9 out of 1

20、0 trees that didn't have hives，severely damaging a quarter. But they steered clear of all six trees with occupied hives. The elephants also left alone one-third of the trees with empty hives，suggesting that some had learnt not to take the risk.The bees threaten elephants by stinging vulnerable（易

21、受傷）areas such as the eyes, belly, behind the ears and under the trunk. People could be at risk from the bees，admits Volirath，but that may be outweighed by the risk of being killed by an elephant. Another experiment by Volirath shows that elephants also avoid the sound of angry bees played from a lou

25、en come up in Africa D. elephants enjoy attacking people and farmsBBEUING (Associated Press ) China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy. While China may be the worlds biggest toy-maker, many of t

26、he best are exported . Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. Peopl

27、e who join the companys "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the companys educational toys and child care books."We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," s

28、aid Matthew J. Estes, BabyCares president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of developmen

29、t to age six.BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years. It is a new model for China and develops a market in young childrens education and health that no other companie

33、re and Doctors. C. American Company Model. D. Educational Toys in China.CThis summer Bohmte, Germany, reworked its downtown main street, not only removing the traffic lights but also tearing down the curbs (路緣) and erasing marked crosswalks. The busiest part of the street turned into a square shared

34、 equally by bikes, pedestrians (步行者), cars, and trucks. Now，there is only one rule: Always give way to the person on the right. The bonus? The whole town has become more human. "We look at each other, and we greet each other," says a citizen named Ulrike Republic.Mayor Mans Goedejohann kne

35、w that the heavy traffic spoilt Bohmte's atmosphere and endangered the safety of its residents. But the town cannot forbid truck traffic because its main street is a state highway. Then he heard of a radical (激進的 ) traffic-management theory called "shared space". Pioneered by a Dutch e

36、ngineer who thought towns were safer with fewer rules, it envisioned (設想) open surfaces on which motorists and pedestrians could communicate with one another by eye contact, other signals, and a greater consideration for one another.Separating cars firom pedestrians was wrong, argued the Dutch engin

37、eer called Hans Monderman, whose death this winter aroused people's interest in his ideas once again. Portrayed as a dangerous maverick decades ago, Monderman put in place more than 100 shared-space programs in the Netherlands. When the European Union started a research project on shared space,

38、Bohmte decided to try it, along with six other towns, including Ostend in Belgium and Ipswich in England. Not everybody feels good about the town having spent close to $.3.3 million on redesigning its downtown. "In theory shared space is more human, but we're left out," says Mr. Breine

39、r, a sight-impaired (有視力障礙的) man who cannot make eye contact with drivers. Many people also worry that the child and elderly will not be able to communicate with drivers.Still, a 2008 study in Holland reported that shared space has reduced the number of accidents in sign-free areas. And Mayor Goedej

40、ohann is confident. His town averaged 50 accidents last year. Since the shared space concept was enacted (通過), there haven't been any, he says.49. According to Paragraph 1, after Bohmte took down its traffic lights,_A. there are fewer people walking in the streetB. theme is much less traffic thr

41、ough the townC. people be come more friendly to one anotherD. people can travel faster than before50. Who is the founder of the theory of "shared space"?A. Ulrike Rubcic B. Klaus Goedejohann. C. Mr. Breiner. D. Hans Monderman. 51. The underlined word "maverick" in Paragraph 3 pro

42、bably means_ A. someone who has no importance or powerB. someone who always follows rules and regulationC. a bad person who brings disaster to the worldD. an unusual person who has different ideas52. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. People show more interest in

43、Monderman's "shared space".B. Bohmte removes lights and signs and sees accident rates decline.C. Communication between pedestrians and drivers is important.D. Mme European countries plan to design shared space streets.DWhat do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is

44、 knocked out? A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first in the meantime. You have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frond Courts, a den

45、tist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safe way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from peoples mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions（溶液）or stored in the a

46、ir for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home

47、or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best things of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket（牙槽）in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dent

48、ist.53. This passage is mainly about _.A. how a dentist can save a knocked-out toothB. how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthyC. how Dr Courts and other researchers made their experimentsD. how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket54.

50、yD. cell-culture medium is more expensive56. “Dr Courts said that the best of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth.” In the sentence, the word best means _.A. cheapest and healthiest B. least painful and cheapestC. quickest and least painful D. easiest and hea
