The project was launched in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. w This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations."Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious"It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the countrys most endangered mammals.28. Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?A. To kill invasive species. B. To save seabirds in danger.C. To keep balance in nature. D. To decrease the rats number.29. What can we infer about the rat removal project?A. It is favored by animal rights groups.B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.C. It has protected 10% of species on UKs 169 islands.D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.30. What will be done next according to Dean Jones?A. Plan the future of seabirds. B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.C. Keep a careful watch for rats. D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. A biology textbook. D. A medical magazine.DWhat if a rollercoaster ride looked like this: no rails, no trains, just a chair on a mechanical arm (机械手臂)and a pair of glasses-VR glasses meaning virtual reality? Thats how it is in Nanchang, China, where a new amusement park relies entirely on digital entertainment.Compared with a traditional theme park, this VR theme park takes up smaller space and much less time to build, but it brings visitors similar playing experience. The park uses VR for a variety of attractions, including the roller coaster ride, a musical video game where you have to hit the right notes, and a shooter in a completely unreal environment. It really gives you the feeling of reality.The park wants to invest in a future technology and hopes to keep peopled fascination with virtual reality of life. For the technology, it is still highly experimental. What we want to do with virtual reality is to experience things in and beyond reality, but in fact the VR we can experience right now has a lot of limits. For example, although on the visual front, we can say weve broken past reality in our visual experience, theres still a lack of physical feedback, meaning we can see the virtual world around us but we cant feel them. That limits the technologys appeal from many applications.For now, one of its main uses is in professional training. For example, for pilots in a Boeing VR simulator(模拟器)， a real touchable interface is combined with a virtual world outside. Some significant development is still needed before we can virtually wander around in our houses, go for a walk without leaving the house or actually hold a product in our hands before buying it online. Nanchang hopes to become a significant VR player in the future not just with digital rollercoasters. 32. What can be an advantage of the VR theme park over traditional ones?A. Its lower cost. B. Its shorter building time.C. Its larger area. D. Its more exciting attractions.33. What is the third paragraph about?A. The Emits of the present VR technology.B. The uses of VR technology in the future.C. The vivid experience of playing a VR roller coaster.D. The experiments done to improve VR technology.34. What can be done now with the aid of VR technology?A. Playing a musical instrument. B. Walking out without leaving the house.C. Training pilots in a simulator. D. Touching a product when shopping online.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. A Roller Coaster without RailsB. Nanchang：the Next King of VR TechnologyC. Virtual Reality: Advantages and DisadvantagesD. VR Brings Theme Park Visitors New Experience 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。Humans were made for walking.
