Kenya is the first country to try and protect elephants by text message. Mobile phone SIM cards inserted in the collars(項(xiàng)圈) of elephants automatically send a text message when they get too close to farms, allowing wildlife workers to drive them off rather than shoot them.
Hungry elephants cause big problem for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya looking for food and destroying homes and livelihoods in the process. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to shoot five elephants with regret and sadness who continued to destroy crops.
In an attempt to avoid such destructive actions the Save the Elephants charity installed a mobile phone SIM card in a collar that was placed on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists( 自然環(huán)境保護(hù)者) then set up a virtual fence using a global positioning system.
Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to workers. So far he has been prevented from going into farms fifteen times.
The project is expensive requiring five full time staff and a vehicle but it seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn't come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been carried out in another part of the country.
One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another.
Tracking and controlling one elephant can help a whole group change their habits.
The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping to prevent illegal hunting and killing as the workers know where to concentrate their resources to best protect the animals.
45. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the project?
A. To extend elephants' habitat.       
B. To protect farms from being destroyed.
C. To make more elephants change their habits. 
D. To prevent elephants from being shot.
46. The fence mentioned in Paragraph 3 __________________________________ _.
A. can be seen by elephants          B. actually refers to the text message
C. has prevented Kimani for 50 times    D. doesn't exist in fact
47. According to the passage, the project ____________________.
A. costs just a little                       B. is carried out all by machine
C. seems to work out well                 D. is carried out across Kenya

One survey revealed that 60 percent ofowner-builders also design their homes.Many others
buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U.S. Department ofAgriculture.

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
 I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
71.The best title for the passage would be______.
A. Touched by the moon
B. The pleasures of modern life

A. there was too many pollution
B. he failed to see the fullest moon
C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D. there were too accidents on the road
73. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A. No modern equipment     B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight        D. The high mountains
74. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
75. The author wrote the passage to_______.
A. express the feeling of returning to nature
B. show the love for the moonlight
