Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones(手机铃声)of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards (豹)that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on Monday.
The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. But rather than use methods such as live bait(活诱饵)like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.
“The moos of a cow, and bleating of a goat from the phone have proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat. “This trick works.” Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. The cats have all been released (释放)back into forest areas.
Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative (新方案) saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.

解析试题分析:本文介绍了在印度人们使用手机铃声来吸引那些进入人类聚居地的猎豹,并进行抓捕的事情。
【小题1】D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知人们运用电话的铃声模仿羊的叫声,牛的叫声来吸引进入人的聚居地的猎豹。故D项正确。
【小题2】A 细节题。根据第二段1,2行The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people.可知这样做的原因是猎豹进入了人类的聚居区,并且攻击了人类,所以才用这种方法把猎豹吸引做开并抓捕。故A项正确。
【小题3】C 细节题。根据3,4段“This trick works.”和At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages说明这种方法有了很好的效果,有多只猎豹被吸引过来寻找容易捕捉的动物了,故C正确。
【小题4】B 推理题。根据文章第二段最后三行But rather than use methods such as live bait(活诱饵)like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.只是说明人们现在换了方式,并没有说人们不再使用oit这种方法,故B项内容的陈述不准确。
【小题5】D 细节题。根据第一段和第3段behind a cage.以及Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones(手机铃声)of cows mooing说明D项正确。

Where did all the tigers go? That’s what Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wants to know. India’s Sariska Project Tiger Reserve, once home to 26 tigers, is now home to none. Singh has ordered a police investigation into the 39 ,and created a new taskforce to save the 40 animals.
Tigers are an endangered species(物种). Half of the world’s tiger 41 live in India. For years, tigers have been disappearing from India’s national parks, but Sariska may be the last straw. And the government has to react.
On Thursday, Singh held the first meeting of 42 officials, wildlife experts, and related leaders, aiming to count the nation’s remaining tigers, and to come up with a plan to keep them safe.
It is not hard to guess why the tigers are disappearing. Poachers (偷猎者) can 43 the big cats for $50,000 each. Tiger skin and bones are popular in Chinese 44 . A single tiger tooth can fetch $120. Recently, a group of poachers admitted killing ten tigers in Sariska and were 45 .
“Indian tiger poaching is probably the biggest conservation problem in modern times.” said Belinda Wright, the head of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.
However, poaching isn’t the only 46 . Many poachers use advanced technologies, like night glasses and long–range binoculars. Forest security officers are paid so 47 that few of them bother to track down the poachers. Even if a security guard were to find a poacher, many carry only a stick to make him obey the law.
Tiger fans hope that Singh’s plans mean end for the poachers and 48 for the endangered species.
