authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve,for frompeople.Magigi spent most of her time within the reserved protective boundaries,but after ayear she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer.New research Maude and hiscolleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi*s unfortunate story is common for manyrelocated lions.For decades,wildlife managers in a number of African countries have usedsuch a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock（牲 畜）.But the new researchshows that after lions are moved,most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagersliving.Across Africa,lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades,to as fewas 23,000 animals today.About 3,000 remain in Botswana.The sharp declines are primarilydriven by

farms,expanding around the edges of the protected areas.The lions eatlivestock,which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas.Withouta proper way to prevent these attacks,the dinners often turn to deadly force,shooting orpoisoning the lions,which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.Rather than trying to move lions,wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude

live with humans in harmony.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?试 卷 第 4 页，共 10页A.Big Cats*Relocation Proving DeadlyB.Lions Shot Dead after Attacking a ManC.The Tragic Story of a Magical LionessD.Conservation Status of the African LionIn the magnificent range of mountains of northern California,42 radio telescopes pointtowards the stars,scanning for signs of life.The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（SETI）Institute has been listening for a signal here since it was founded in 1984.Jill Tarter,its co founder,says the programmed aim is not just to communicate with remotecivilisations.It is also to remind human beings of its own modest,fragile（脆 弱 的）place inthe universe.Thus,for the first time,SETI is cocking its ear towards Earth to look fbr a signalthat can be sent into space to represent the species.Felipe Perez Santiago,a Mexican musician and composer,has an idea of what mightwork.Since songs,like the human voices,are common to all languages and

launched into space this summer,recorded on a virtually indestructibledisk.Future plans and dreams include an eventual landing on Mars.Human music has been sent to the heavens in 1977.Distant beings can in theory alreadyenjoy Peruvian panpipes,a Navajo chant,Bach,Beethoven and more.But no previousoffering,and perhaps no composition undertaken anywhere,has tried to encompass the entirediversity of
