In Africa and Asia, elephants damageinfrastructure, farmers crops, and natural habitat important for other species. If an elephantbecomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to findbetter ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have agood tool to prevent elephants: honeybee pheromones(信息素).Elephants dislike being stung in the trunk, so its an extremely sensitive organ. Imaginebeing stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times. said Mark Wright, aprofessor of entomology at the University of Hawai at Manoa.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives(蜂箱) around their farms,they will drive elephants away. The problem is how to manage hundreds of thousands of hives,if you have a huge area to protect. And then the idea came up t8 look at the alarm pheromones,which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something thats damaging thehive.So the researchers tested out an artificial mixture of chemicals that imitates honeybeesalarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white sockstreated with the artificial mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant wateringhole, and then observed the animals behavior. Elephants are really curious creatures. Theyllwalk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and theyllinspect it, and if its not treated with the alarm pheromones, theyll pick it up, throw it around,and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they wouldshow immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and theyd eventually back off from them. Veryseldom would they go pick them up and play with them. The study is in the journal CurrentBiology.In order to avoid the elephants more effectively, the researchers plan to make the pheromonemixture purer. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they shouldnot be going- -and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.24. What can we infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2?A. Bees enjoy stinging elephants.B. Elephants trunk is a sensitive organ.C. Your nose is frequently stung by bees.D. Being stung in the trunk is unbearable to elephants.25. Why didnt the researchers hang live beehives to keep elephants away from crops?A. Because its of no use to elephants.B. Because its impractical.C. Because elephants like the taste of honey.D. Because they prefer to invent new chemicals.26. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us_A. how to imitate honeybee alarm pheromonesB. elephants reaction to the white socksC. how the experiment was carried outD. why the team hung two different white socks27. The research was aimed atA. bettering the relation between humans and elephantsB. cutting down the number of elephantsC. preventing elephants from damaging cropsD. protecting elephantsCProducts with“Made in China” on them have become an important part of the world asChina is gradually taking the globe with its incredible manufacturing industry. Though Chineseproducts have already got rid of the image of low quality, there are still many foreigners whoconsider them cheap, low-end and copycat and claim that they will never buy one.However, a recent Japanese TV show which conducted a survey on Chinese products hasastonished those who looked down upon Chinese manufacturing. The TV show did a test: Clearall the China-made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off. Not only in Japan, but also in the us people are seeing the same change. The US writerSara Bongiorn who published a book titled Without MADE IN CIIINA a decade ago alsoconducted a similar experiment to measure the impact of globalization on ordinary Americans.She decided not to buy any products made in China for a year, At first, she was pretty positiveabout her decision, believing she could find substitutes from other countries. But she laterproved herself wrong.Avoiding Chinese products on purpose, Bongiorn could only choose ltalian-made sneakersfor her children at the price of $68 per pair, while the Chinese ones were only $I0. Once shetried to buy a candle for her husbands birthday, but failed to find one that was not made inChina at six stores.At last, Bongiorn concluded in her book that Made in China products are inseparable toAmerican society, since the inconveniences of living without them are a huge cost.US President Donald Trump has won lots of support for his slogan Make America GreatAgain and for his“Buy American, Hire American advertisements during his campaign.However, the hats, clothes, and flags printed with the slogans that were used for the campaignwere all made in China.Today, with the arising awareness of brands and improving demand for quality,“Made inChina”has gradually shaken off the label of cheap, copycat products, and is winning areputation for competence.28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Products made in China sell best in the world.B. The quality of Chinese products still has a long way to go.C. Many foreigners still look down upon Chinese products.D. Chinese products are popular because they are cheap.29. From Sara Bongiorns experiment, we can learn she,A. refused any Chinese products for their poor qualityB. lacked confidence at the beginning of the experimentC. gave up doing the experiment because it was much too expensiveD. came to believe American society cant go without Chinese products30. What is the purpose of using Donald Trumps campaign as an example?A. To support the idea that Chinese products are winning the market.B. To show that Donald Trump knew how to win peoples heart.C.
