17、newspaper.C Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans frst arrived in North America，more than 60 million buffalo（水牛）lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animals population had fa

18、llen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge,as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat（威胁）.The cow，for example, is a valuab

19、le source of food,but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant, while the commercial value of beef protects the cow? The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without

20、 any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous,each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain

21、 the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. Governments have tried to solve the elephants problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into eff

22、ect, and elephant populations have continued to dwindle. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African e

23、lephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources:What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.28.

24、 Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1?( ) A. To introduce a similar threat to elephants.B. To provide an example of species extinction.C.

People hold little regard for others property.B. People want to profit from common resources.C. People care more about their own possession.D. Peopl

27、e tend to take what they own for granted.D If someone created a flying machine capable of tracking you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldnt locate you? Maybe then a human-seeking drone（无人

28、机）wouldnt be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germanys Fraunhofer FKIE Institute,whove built a drone to find people by detecting （探测）human screams. The human-seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,said

29、Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped. Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory （听觉的）system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds

30、that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams. Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded them

31、selves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmenta

32、l sounds. Once the software part was complete, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clarity of the speech. So far, they have conducted

33、 successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victims location within a few seconds of picking up sound. Next,they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, V

34、arela said. In the real world, victims location data might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.32.What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone?( ) A. Its high speed of flying.B. Its long working hours.C. Its quick response to screams.D. Its easy access to disaster sce

35、ne.33. What can the auditory system do?( ) A. Recognize human cries.B. Pick up sounds from far away.C. Send victims location data to a tablet.D. Improve the quality of human screams.34. What does the underlined wordsignaturesin paragraph 4 refer to?( ) A. Effects.B. Symbols.C. Features.D. Situations

Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human ScreamsD. Rescuers Use Drones to Locate Disaster Survivors第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以
