Zoo elephants don’t live as long as those in the wild, according to a study sure to cause debate about keeping the giant animals on display. Researchers compared the life spans of elephants in European zoos with those living in Amboseli National Park in Kenya and others working on a timber enterprise in Buma. Animals in the wild or in natural working conditions had life expectancies twice than or more of their relatives in zoos.
Animal care activists have urged in recent years to discourage keeping elephants in zoos, largely because of the lack of space and small numbers of animals that can be kept in a group.
The researchers found that the median life span for African elephants in European zoos was 16.9 years, compared with 56 years for elephants who died of natural causes in Kenya’s Amboseli Park. Adding in those elephants killed by people in Africa lowered the median life expectancy there to 35.9 years. For the more endangered Asian elephants, the median life span in European zoos was 18.9 years, compared with 41.7 years for those working in the Burma Timber Enterprise. Median means half died younger than that age and half lived longer.
There is some good news, though. The life expectancies of zoo elephants have improved in recent years, suggesting an improvement in their care and raising, but “Protecting elephants in Africa and Asia is far more successful than protecting them in Western zoos.”
There are about 1,200 elephants in zoos, half in Europe, researchers concentrated on female elephants, which make up 80 percent of the zoo population. One amazing thing was that Asian elephants born in zoos had shorter life spans that those brought to the zoos from the wild.
Zoos usually lack large areas that elephants are used to in the wild, and that zoo animals often are alone or with one or two other unrelated animals, while in the wild they tend to live in related groups of 8 to 12 animals. In Asian elephants, baby death rates are two to three times higher in zoos than in the Burmese logging camps, and then, in adulthood, zoo-born animals die young. People are not sure why.
【小題1】What is argued about in this passage?

A．Zoo elephants don’t live as long as those in the wild.
B．Elephants should not be on display.
C．Asian elephants are in danger.
D．Asia is far more successful in protecting elephants in zoos.
【小題2】What does the underlined word “median” mean according to the passage?
A．AverageB．Longest. C．Shortest.D．Ordinary.
【小題3】Which of the following is Not the disadvantage of keeping elephants in zoos?
A．Limited number of relatives.B．Lack of space.
C．Shorter life expectancy.D．Less attention.
【小題4】Who are expected to pay more attention to the issue addressed?

The secret of carrier pigeons' unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by scientists: the feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do.

Scientists now believe the phrase "as the crow (烏鴉) flies" no longer means the shortest most direct route between two points. They say it is likely that crows and other day birds also choose AA-suggested routes, even though it makes their journeys longer.

Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite (GPS) and got a surprising result. The birds often don't use the sun to decide their directions.

Instead they fly along motorways, turn at crossing and even go around roundabouts (繞道) , adding miles to their journeys.

"It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade-long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts (本能) and follow the road system," said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behavior at Oxford University's Department of Zoology.

Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system (導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.

"But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work," said Guilford.

"In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road. They are just making their journey as simple as possible."

1.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. How Pigeons Find Their Ways Home?   B. Why Pigeons Can Fly long Distance?

C. Birds Follow Roads as We Do.             D. Why Crows Fly the Shortest D stance?

2.What does the words "the feathered navigators" refer to?

A. The crows.       B. The pigeons.     C. Day birds.       D. Animals that can fly.

3.Scientists used to think that homing pigeons often find their directions ____.

A. by global positioning satellite              B. by the sun

C. by the road system                  D. by following other birds

4.Why do homing pigeons tend to follow the road system daring the r journey?

A. Because they don't have their inbuilt directional instincts now.

B. Because their own navigational system doesn't work.

C. Because it is too hard to use their own navigational system.

D. Because it is easier to make journey simple by following road system.
