美国加利福尼亚秃鹰由于触电和铅中毒而濒临灭绝,研究人员采取了一些措施来挽救秃鹰,从而使这一种群渐渐恢复了生机长难句解读: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.分析:本句为复合句主语部分有with短语作定语,where引导的定语从句修饰前面的Los Angeles Zoo,a chemical为calcium EDTA的同位语,其后是that引导的定语从句翻译:于是,体内含有高剂量铅的秃鹰被送往洛杉矶动物园在那里,用一种名为EDTA的钙物质为其治疗,这是一种化学药物,能够在几天时间内清除血液中的铅63.D [推理判断题根据第一、二段内容可知,20世纪80年代,由于触电和铅中毒,加利福尼亚州的秃鹰濒临灭绝,20世纪80年代末,仅剩的几只秃鹰从野外被带回繁殖,由此可推断正是秃鹰濒临灭绝才引起了研究人员的注意和兴趣,故选D项。
]64.B [细节理解题根据第三段内容可知,电线一直是使秃鹰丧命的杀手,并且解释原因说,秃鹰晚上休息的时候看不见电线,而它们宽大的翅膀正好同时搭在两根电线上,于是它们立刻就被电死了,故选B项]65.D [细节理解题根据第五段内容可知,铅中毒影响了秃鹰的神经系统和繁殖能力(affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds),并且可以导致它们肾衰竭和死亡,故选D项]66.C [推理判断题本文主要介绍了美国加利福尼亚秃鹰濒临灭绝以及科研人员为挽救它们而展开的救援和研究工作,且实施的措施有了回报(pay off),故选C项]A(2016·长沙四校模拟)Ecofriendly Car RacerCan you image a car racer is so ecofriendly that its tyres are made from potatoes,its body is created from hemp (大麻)and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The oneseater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University,who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry.It is sold at £41,000.Pollutionsensitive DressDon't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air.The pollutionsensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly.This dress—which is actually quite pretty—looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty.It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day,but it won't do you any favor if you're meeting with clients.Ecofriendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface.Although it's changeable,you cannot replace it easily.This ecofriendly design is more flexible.It's actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface,which can be folded,so you c。
