painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. but he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. in those days, a brush was made from camels hair. there were no camels nearby. benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. he cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.the brush did not last long. soon benjamin needed more fur. before long, the cat began to look ragged（蓬乱）. his father said that the cat must be sick. benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.the cats lot was about to improve. that year, one of benjamins cousins, mr. pennington, came to visit. he was impressed with benjamins drawings. when he went home, he sent benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. he also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. these were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes benjamin had ever seen. in 1747, when benjamin was nine years old, mr. pennington returned for another visit. he was amazed at what benjamin had done with his gift. he asked benjamins parents if he might take the boy back to philadelphia for a visit. in the city, mr. pennington gave benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. the boy began a landscape (风景) painting. william williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. williams was impressed with benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. the books were long and dull. benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. but he later said, “those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” while it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. the nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 51how did benjamin get the brushes at first?ahe cut a camels air.bhe cut some fur from a cat.che asked his father to buy them.dan artist offered a hand to him. 52what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest? athe cat would

wind-length of up to 3 meters. in the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning（铅中毒）nearly drove them to dying out. now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to save these big birds.in the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred（繁殖）. since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over california and nearby arizona, utah and baja in mexico.electrical lines have been killing them off. “as they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines,” says bruce rideout of san diego zoo. their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution（电死）if they touch two lines at once.so scientists have come up with a shocking idea. tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. before the training was introduced, 66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. this has now dropped to 18%. lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. when condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they take in large quantities of lead. this affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（肾）failures and death. so condors with high levels of lead are sent to los angeles zoo, where they are treated with calcium edta, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. this work is starting to pay off. the annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011. rideouts team thinks that the california condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “although these measures are not effective forever, they are important for now,” he says. “they are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. ”56. california condors attract researchers interest because they _. a. are active at nightb. had to be bred in the wildc. are found on in californiad. almost died out in the 1980s57. researchers have found electrical lines are _.a. giving condors journey home b. big killers of califorbnia condorasc. rest places for condors at nightd. used to keep condors away58. according to paragraph 5, lead poisoning _.a. makes condors too nervous to fly b. has little effect on condors kidneysc. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors bloodd. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds59. the passage shows that _.a. the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryb. rideouts research interest lies in electric engineeringc. the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsd. researchers have found the final answers to the problem 60. what could be the best title for the passage?acalifornia condors shocking recoverybdangers california condors face chow to protect california condordcalifornia condors future life第ii卷
