Just ask the residents of Kitengela, a rural county on the outskirts of Kenyas capital city Nairobi. Earlier this week, lions killed eight of their goats. Feeling extremely angry at the losses, they killed the lions. Six lions, including two young baby lions, were killed by angry farmers who felt they had no choice.What happened at Kitengela is happening across Africa. Its human population - currently a billion people, and growing faster than any other continents - must have land for agriculture and farm animals. When lions find themselves knocking against people and their cattle, strife is certain. Lions need large animals to survive and raise babies, so where people replace zebras(斑马) and wildebeest（角马） with cattle and sheep, it is only a matter of time until results of dead farm animals. Followed very rapidly by dead lions.Given a choice, lions generally keep away from humans and their animals because people are dangerous. But as lions become surrounded by humanity into less and less living space, their options are running out. The lions killed in Kitengela this week would not have ended up there if there was available space somewhere without people. There wasnt, they had few alternatives.The question is whether people do. You only have to look a few hours south of Nairobi to see the answer. There, the Maasai of southern Kenyas Amboseli ecosystem have shown how to live with lions. Called Lion Guardians, the communitys young men devote themselves to preventing conflict(冲突) with lions. They track（跟踪） lions so that farmers to avoid them, they provide free labor to strengthen the fences and find farm animals that have gone missing. The Lion Guardians program is one of the most promising(有前途的) answers Ive seen in over 20 years of working on lions in Africa. With its Kenyan-based founders, Wildlife Guardians and Living With Lions, my organization Panthera is now working to introduce the model into other high-conflict zones across Africa.A few Lion Guardians employed in the community might have helped in Kitengela this week. Although the lion human relationship is never easy, the Lion Guardian model and other similarly new ideas give us reasons to hope. 28.According to the text, what is a threat to African lions？A. Climate change. B. Human population growth.C. Illegal hunting. D. Environmental pollution.29.The underlined word “strife”in paragraph 2 can be replaced by-A. development B. failure C.exploration D. conflict30.In paragraph 3 , the author_A. express his sympathy for lions B. explain lions influence on humansC. shows peoples love for wild animalsD. describes the danger that farmers face31. What does the author think of the model of Lion Guardians?A. It is dangerous. B. It is effective.C. It takes much time. D It costs too much.DA new study has shown that people who regularly eat oranges are less likely to develop macular degeneration (黄斑变性) than people who do not eat oranges. Researchers at the Westmead Institute interviewed more than 2, 000 Australian adults aged over 50 and followed them over a 15-year period. The research showed that people who ate at least one serving of oranges every day had more than a 60% reduced risk of developing late macular degeneration 15 years later. Even eating an orange once a week seems to offer significant benefits.Lead researcher associate professor Gopinath said, “ The data shows that flavonoids (类黄酮) found in oranges appear to have a big role to play in reducing the chance of macular degeneration. Flavonoids can be found in almost all fruits and vegetables and they are useful in reducing inflammation (炎症) and stress within the body ”, “We examined common foods that contain flavonoids such as tea, apples, red wine. Significantly, the data did not show a relationship between other food sources protecting the eyes against the disease.” she said.Gopinath said that until now most research has focused on the effects of common nutrients such as vitamins C, E and A on the eyes. “Our research is different because we focused on the relationship between flavonoids and macular degeneration.”Macular degeneration is the name given to a group of eye diseases that cause progressive loss of central sight. It is the leading cause of blindness in Australia and affects about one in seven people over the age of 50. There is currently no cure for the disease.“Our research aims to understand why eye diseases occur, as well as the genetic and environmental conditions that may do harm to eyesight,” Gopinath concluded.32How does the author introduce the research in Paragraph 1?A. By listing the data.B. By analyzing causes.C. By following time order.D. By describing the process.33What might matter most in protecting the eyes against macular degeneration?A. The vitamins in oranges.B. The flavonoids in oranges.C. The flavonoids in vegetables.D. The nutrition content in foods.34What made Gopinaths research different from others?A. Study aims.B. Cooperative ways.C. The age of subjects.D. The focus of research.35Whats the best title of the text？A. Eye diseases catch Australian attention.B. The effects of diet and nutrition on eyes.C. An orange a day keeps the eye doctor away.D. The leading cause of blindness in Australia.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is an old Spanish saying which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put off our dreams tomorrow?
