When people get bad toothaches, they often have to eat soft, easily chewed food. When lions get bad toothaches, they eat people? That' s the conclusion of a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a dentist who works on carnivores (食肉动物)., Lions don’t normally prey on people. Every once in a while, however, a lion will go on a human-eating diet. The most famous such tragedy happened in 1898, when two lions killed and ate 135 railway workers in
Examining the preserved skulls (骷髅) of the two big cats, zoologist Bruce Patterson and dentist Ellis Neiburger found that both animals had been suffering from several dental and |aw problems. One lion had three missing teeth and a loose, unsteady lower canine that was probably useless. Canines are pointed teeth that hunting animals use for gripping and piercing prey(刺穿猎物)) .The two lions might have been so badly disabled that they couldn’t bite down forcefully, say the researchers. Consequently, the lions might have abandoned their normal, more difficult prey and turned to humans. "Humans are easy preys, " said Patterson. "We're very slow, we don’t hear very well, and we don* t see very well in the darkness. "
The research calls their idea the Infirmity Theory. It was inspired partly by the work of Jim Corbett, a tiger hunter in

A. ways of protecting wild animals B. ways of treating toothaches of lions

A. that they like wild preys better B. they just hunt for prey at night,
C. that humans are difficult to catch D. not mentioned in the passage
66. Jim Corbett' story is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ____.
A. tigers have the same eating habits and preys as lions
B. carnivores hunt people mostly under ill-healthy conditions
C. tigers like hurting villagers while lions like railway workers
D. wild animals swallow humans when they suffer from toothaches .

Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or not, we won't do much about it, We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it, But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.
An I Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming ,and without major technological breakthroughs, we can’t do much about it.
From 2003to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billon to 9.1 billion a 42% increase, If energy use per person and technology remain the same total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(排放) (mainly, CO2)will be 42% higher in 2050. But that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy, We need economic growth unless we condemn (使注定) the world’s poor to their present.
Poverty can freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050, no government will adopt strict restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom(limits on electricity usage, driving and travel ) that might cut back global warming , Still , politicians want to show they’re “doing something “, Consider the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990),and many signatories(签字国)didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.
The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology, only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.
The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem. We’re helpless.
71 What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?
A,It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.
B.It is an issue requiting world wide commitments.
C.Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it
D,Very little will be done to bring it under control.
72.Greenhouse emissions will more hall double by 2050 because of .
A economic growth
B wasteful use of energy
C the widening gap between the rich and poor
D the rapid advances of science and technology
73. The author believes that , since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol,
A politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D international cooperation have greatly cut back global warming
74.What is the message the author intends to convey?
A Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one.
B The final solution to global warming lies in new technology
C The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs
D People have to give up contain material comforts to stop global warming
75According to the author’s understanding,what is AlGore’s view on global warming?
A It is a realty both people and politicians are unaware of
B It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences
C It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized.
D It is an area we actually have little knowledge about.
