Herds of zebra, impala and giraffe from South Africa’s Kruger Park found a new home as part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) wildlife relocation project.
About 1,000 animals, from the large blue wildebeest to the stocky warthog, have been relocated to the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory.
The game from South Africa arrived in the Massingir area of Mozambique’s southern Maputo province after a one-and-a-half-hour trip by truck.
South African National Parks chief executive Mavuso Msimang and the Peace Parks Foundation officially handed over the animals to Mozambican representatives.
“This project is not only about the management of an ecosystem, but also about community empowerment and tourism,” Msimang said.
Border fences are coming down with the establishment of the park, which will be the world’s biggest game reserve, to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes.
The park, due to be officially opened next year, will be bigger than the Netherlands, covering some 38,600 square kilometers(15,440 square miles).
Under a three-year plan, about 6,000 animals are to be moved into the area, where wildlife was decimated（大批杀害）during Mozambique’s 25-year civil war.
African Wildlife Foundation community development officer Jeremiah Machavi said 62 communities living in the area would be affected by the establishment of Transfrontier Park. Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports.
The relocation process started in October last year when about 30 elephants were released into the park.

A. Kruger Park B. GLTP
C. South African National Park D. African wildlife Foundation
9. How many more animals will be taken to Transfrontier Park?
A. about 1,000 B. about 6,000 C about 5,000 D. about 7,000
10. What will not be affected by the establishment of GLTP?

C. international boundaries D. African wildlife
11. From the passage we can conclude that ______.
A. the herds of animals mentioned in the first paragraph were the first to be taken to the park
B. the Great Limpopo Transfrontier is located in Mozambique
C. no border fences will be seen inside the park so that animals can migrate
D. the Netherlands is the second largest reserve
8-11 BCCC
8．B细节题。从第一小节可看出是把这些动物迁往一个wildlife relocation project，名叫the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP)。
9．C细节计算题。从第二小节可知有1,000只动物，而倒数第三小节说Under a three-year plan, about 6,000 animals are to be moved into the area，因此还有大概5,000只动物。
10．C句意理解题。第二小节中the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory可见这个park跨越几个国家，但这些国家的边界不变，只是游客在园中游玩时，无需出示过境护照，Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports。
11．C细节判断题。从Border fences are coming down with the establishment of the park…to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes。

While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states-at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 15 percents of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The resuit: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent-twice the national average.
For advocates (代言人) for the poor, that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.
“More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn,a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and policy Priorities in Washington.
A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin(毒素) that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare?reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low?income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic(道德观), which is much more important.”
Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked, ”then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.
13.From the passage, it can be seen that the auther .
A.believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden
B.insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor
C.is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform
D.considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful
14.Why aren’t people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?
A.Because many families are divorced. B.Because government aid is now rare.
C.Because their wages are low. D.Because the cost of living is rising.
15.What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is that .
A.greater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards
B.15 percent of the people there have been employed for two years
C.50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare
D.the living standards of most people are going down
16.From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at_______ .
A.saving welfare funds B.rebuilding the work ethics(观念)
C.providing more jobs D.cutting government expenses
