23、g out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there arenow more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them

24、off."As they go in to rest for the night, theyjust don ' t see the power lines, “ says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution（ 電死）if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, pl

25、aced 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-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with.

26、 When condors eat deadbodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（'腎）failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are

27、 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.Rideout ' s team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the

28、wildis now just under eight years.a Although these measures are not effective forever, theyare vital for now, “ he says. "They are truly good birds thaworth every effort we put into recovering them. ”12. California condors attract researchers' interest because they.A. are active at nightB.

32、 worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.16 Some of usenjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early huma

33、ns. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 17 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren ' t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too

34、much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 18No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, sc

35、ientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.19 To help youdo that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.20 For the risk-seekers a part of the b

It all depends on your character.B. Th

37、ose are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using t

38、he same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第二部分語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面的短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。I used to love to swim as a boy .
