As one of nature"s top predators (捕食性动物), the tiger is not an animal, that we would ordinarily think of as being a chicken. However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly than his keepers could ever have imagined. Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in his enclosure, after climbing it for the first time. The branching tower had been designed to provide mental stimulation for Tanvir by testing his ingenuity, but after scaling the exercise structure in just a few seconds, he lost his nerve when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to pluck up the courage to attempt a descent. A spokesperson for the zoo said chat Tanvir had taken half an hour to come down from a smaller structure only l.5m high previously, and that the taller tower had clearly been too much for him. "Every time he gets to the edge, he looks out, puts a paw over, and thinks, "no, I"m not doing it!"" said Samantha Cordrey. In the end Tanvir"s hunger got the better of his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down in order to eat. It appears that Tanvir is none the worse for his experience, but it is not known if he will find the guts (勇 气) to go back up his exercise tower again. The whole episode only serves to underline the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will stimulate the animals living in enclosed spaces. "It was made to challenge him but he"s a bit of a wimp," said Tanvir"s keeper. |

Le Whif, an inhaler (吸入剂) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight, is to be released in British stores. The invention, called the world"s first breathable food by its creators, lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie. Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline. The lipstick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles which are small enough to become conveyed by air, but too large to enter the lungs. Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs (喷射) and costs 1.99 on its own, or £4.99 for a pack of three. The inhaler is available in chocolate, raspberry chocolate and mint chocolate models as well as coffee flavor, which gives a dose of caffeine equivalent to a small short of strong black coffee. It was invented by Prof. David Edwards. He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences, such as allowing people to sample a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal. He said, "In terms of living off whiffing we aren"t even close to being there. But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently and choosing food or its aesthetic (审美的) pleasure. We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months. It is reasonable to assume that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered." The product was released in Paris in 2009 and the initial production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out within a month. It has since been made available across France and in the US. In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed. |

Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes (沼泽), never to be seen again. Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster (英国石油公司漏油事件) are seeing some strange phenomena. Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The animals" presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily be captured by their enemies. The nearly two-month-old spill (漏油) has created an environmental disaster in US history as tens of millions of gallons have flown into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try to understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life. For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate islands and mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking (嬉 戏) in the oily sheen (光泽) and oil-tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals. "I think part of the reason why we"re not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are really just beginning," Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said. The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic exercise; the deaths will help determine how much BP pays in damages. |
1. What does the marine life react to the BP disaster? |
A. Birds crawl deep into caves. B. Dolphins and sharks show up in deep water. C. Tens of thousands of marine animals are found dead. D. Sea creatures flee from the spilled oil, gathering near the seashore. |
2. Which of the following is NOT related to the potentially troubling sign? |
A. The usual habitat of deep-water animals is badly polluted. B. Many animals could be easily eaten by their enemies. C. Masses of fishes could die due to lack of oxygen. D. Some dolphins are frolicking in marshes. |
3. The environmental disaster was caused by ____. |
A. the damage of the Mexico Gulf ecosystem B. the lack of environmental sense of BP C. the nearly two-month-old oil spill D. the crowding marine life |
4. What is John Hocevar"s attitude towards the disaster? |
A. Worried. B. Disappointed. C. Depressed. D. Optimistic. |
5. From the passage, we can infer that ____. |
A. BP will pay much money according to the number of the dead wildlife there B. marine scientists have seen some strange phenomena C. the disaster has little influence on dolphins D. a three-person crew reached no conclusion |

Thirty-six volunteers in South Africa will test the safety of an African-developed vaccine (疫苗) against HIV. The tests are the first step in human clinical trials of two vaccine candidates developed at the University of Cape Town. These experimental AIDS vaccines are the first from Africa to reach testing in people. The National Institutes of Health in the United States provided assistance. Testing with twelve people began earlier this year in Boston, Massachusetts. South Africa has more than five million people infected with HIV, the largest number of any country. South Africa launched the tests last week as the International AIDS Society held a conference in Cape Town. Other human trials of possible vaccines are taking place around the world. Scientists hope to get some results later this year. But during last week"s conference, experts reported the first decrease in international financing for AIDS vaccine research. They said funding dropped from about 930 million dollars in 2007 to 870 million last year. Also at the conference, scientists presented the latest findings about new mothers infected with HIV. Two studies showed ways in which anti-HIV drugs could permit infected women to breastfeed their new borns with less risk of passing the virus to them. The research was done in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, South Africa and Zambia. In one study, infected mothers began to take three anti-HIV drugs while breastfeeding for up to six months. In a second study, the babies were given medicine, instead of their mothers. The babies received one drug every day during six months of breastfeeding. The researchers said both methods greatly reduced the risk of HIV infection. Laura Guay is Vice President of research at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which supported the research. Doctor Guay says the problem in sub-Saharan Africa is the limited availability of anti- retroviral drugs. LAURA GUAY:"We know that only about 33 percent of women have access to a program that actually has services in place to prevent mother-to-child transmission. So the first challenge is, how do we reach all the women who do not have access to a prevention program?" |
1. That South Africa is chosen as the first country in Africa to test the safety of an African-developed vaccine against HIV is probably because ____. |
A. it has the largest AIDS population B. the vaccine has been developed in South Africa C. the United Nations will offer it assistance D. it has enough volunteers who are AIDS carriers |
2. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about? |
A. Women infected AIDS should not breastfeed their newborns. B. Newborns are easily got infected with HIV if their mothers got AIDS. C. Anti-HIV drugs help mothers infected with AIDS avoid transmitting HIV to their babies. D. Both the mother and the newborn can take the anti-HIV drugs. |
3. What can we learn from this passage? |
A. The vaccine will not be used in clinical trial before it is proved to be safe. B. South Africa was the first country which began the test of the vaccines. C. Anti-HIV drugs have less effect on babies than on their mothers who are affected AIDS. D. Only those women from rich families have access to anti-HIV drugs. |
4. According to this passage, what is the problem that the vaccine research faced with? |
A. The decrease in international financing. B. The lack of volunteers. C. The difficulty in human clinical trials. D. Too many AIDS patients. |
