    18．The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean，off the western coast of South America They are a rocky，lonely spot，but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world．One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises（乌龟）left on earth．
         Weighing hundreds of pounds，these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands．Strangely，each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises．There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands，and each kind is slightly different from the other．
         Hundreds of years ago，thousands of tortoises were around these islands．However，all that changed when people started landing there．When people first arrived in 1535，crews would seize as many tortoises as they could．They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships．The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs，so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews．Almost 100，000 tortoises were carried off in this way．
         The tortoises faced other problems，too．Soon after the first ships，settlers arrived，bringing pigs，goats，donkeys，dogs and cats．A11 0f these animals ruined life for the tortoises．Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on，while the pigs，dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year．Within a few years，it was hard to find any tortoise eggs-or even any baby tortoises．
         Finally，in the 1950s，scientists decided that something must be done．The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats，dogs and other animals as they could from the islands．Next，they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born； This slow，hard work continues today，and，thanks to it，the number of tortoises is now increasing every year．Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all

    13．Kenya is losing an average of 100of its 2，000lions each year because of growing human  settlements，increasing farming，climate change and diseases，according to the Kenya Wildlife Service （KWS）．
    "Lions have a special place in Kenyans'life，"said Paul Udoto，a spokesman for the organization．"Other than being the symbol of national strength，they are among the Big Five，a main attraction for visitors to Kenya．"
    There were 2，749lions in Kenya in 2002and Uieir population dropped to 2，280by 2004  and to about 2，000today，according to KWS figures．
    "The fall of the lion population is worrying and every effort needs to be made to make sure that Kenya either protects its population of 2，000lions at present or increases the numbers to an ecologically acceptable level，"said Mr．Udoto．
    "There is no doubt that the numbers are in free fall．I'd be surprised if they even  last as  long as 20 years，"said Laurence Frank，project director of Living With Lions，a Kenya-based animal protection organization?i?When I first came here 30years ago，I would always hear lions roaring across the land at night and see their tracks in the morning．Now that is very rare．
    "The reason is simple．As the numbers of people grow and the numbers of cows increase  they take up much of the lion's space．Alongside that there are other ways，including poisoning 9to kill lions．"
    Animal lovers are making a new strategy to save the animals．Part of the measures will include tracking lions fitted with radio collars in the Amboseli area in southern Kenya，close to the border with Tanzania．
    Wildlife officials in Tanzania face similar challenges in protecting their lions，but there is far less human encroachment （侵入）on the animals'homeland there than in Kenya，

    25．What is the main reason of Kenya appreciating lions'existence？D
    A．lions are the symbol of the national strength．
    B．Lions are among the most endangered animals．
    C．Lions are a subject of great concern to Kenyans．
    D．Lions are the major appeal for foreign tourists．
    26．What does Laurence Frank mean by saying"they even last as long as 20years"？A
    A．It is alarming that the number of lions is declining at a high speed．
    B．It is amazing that he has tolerated the decline for such a long time．
    C．It is fascinating that many evidences have proven the decline trend，
    D．It is surprising that a lion should live as long as twenty years in Kenya．
    27．In which aspect does the striking difference between Kenya and Tanzania in lion protection lie？B
    A．Climate changes．
    B．Increasingly fanning．
    C．Natural disasters．
    D．Outbreaks of epidemics （流行病）．

    17．It never occurred to anybody，not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives，loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers．But there's no doubt that Friends（老友记）has become more than just a successful situation comedy-it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century．Along the way，it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous．
    Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other's apartments and at Greenwich Village's Central Perk coffee house，Friends was created by television producers，David Crane and Marta Kauffman．In 1993，the pair met producer Kevin S．Bright．Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers．What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman's after-college years，when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other's lives．
    It didn't take long for viewers to make friends with Friends．The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit．Critics loved it as well．Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show，with twisty plots and unique jokes．
    The television theme song has also been a success with the public．The song's success helped save the television theme song．An ABC（美国广播公司）executive was ready to order very short music intros（前奏） on his network's shows，thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started．But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind--remote controls or not，the TV theme song would stay．
    Years have gone by，but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon．

    28．What is stressed in the second paragraph？A
    A．The origin of Friends．
    B．The role models of Friends．
    C．The popularity of Friends．
    D．The brilliance of Friends．
    29．Which of the following is TRUE about Friends？D
    A．It has a simple but entertaining plot．
    B．It is about friendship between college students．
    C．It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly．
    D．It first came into being in the 1990s．
    30．What can we learn from the passage？C
    A．Producer，Kevin S．Bright，graduated from the same college as David Crane．
    B．ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro．
    C．The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends．
    D．Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success．
    31．What might the author think of Friends？D
    A．Its merits outweigh its shortcomings．
    B．Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies．
    C．He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success．
    D．He/she shows great affection towards it．

    18．Do you have memories of being kidnapped （绑架） by aliens （外星人） and taken away rapidly in a spaceship？You wouldn't be alone．Several thousand people worldwide reported to have had such experiences，researchers say．But in a new study，a psychology expert at London's Goldsmiths College says these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory，rather than evidence of life in outer space．
    "Maybe what we're dealing with here is false memories，and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships，"says Professor Chris French，who surveyed 19so-called victims．
    Several of the victims reported being taken away from their beds or cars by alien creatures around four feet high，with long and lean arms and legs and oversized heads，French said．Some men said they were forced to take painful medical examinations by the aliens．
    Many of the alien experiences could be explained by sleep paralysis，a condition in which a person is awake and aware of the surroundings but is unable to move．Sleep paralysis often leads to hallucinations-the experience of seeing or feeling something that is not really there and 40percent of people experience the state at least once in their lives，French said．A rich imagination was also at play．Several of the alien victims were more likely to fantasize and reported to have seen ghosts （幽灵） and have unnatural abilities．
    "People have very rich fantasy lives，"said French，who is due to present his findings at a public seminar at London's Science Museum on Wednesday．"So much that they often mix up what's happening in their heads with what is going on in the real world．"

    28．According to Chris French，if someone told you an alien experience again，you mightB．
    A．believe the story
    B．just laugh it away
    C．wonder why
    D．report it to the police
    29．The underlined word"fantasize"in Paragraph 4probably meansA．
    A．use vivid imagination
    B．tell the truth
    C．have good memories
    D．make up excuses
    30．What is the author's attitude towards alien experiences？D
    A．Puzzling．
    B．Supportive．
    C．Respectful．
    D．Opposed
    31．Where can this passage probably be found？A
    A．A science magazine．
    B．A textbook．
    C．A science fiction．
    D．A storybook．
