North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce. But in Minnesota, the USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives. In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.
31.In the first paragraph, we can learn that North American black bears are .
A. shy and fearful animals B. not found today
C. well known to scientists D. not afraid of people

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

During the Ice Age, the mammoths(猛犸象) lived both in Asia and America. But by about 4,000 years ago, the large and hairy elephants had disappeared.
Some scientists want to clone (克隆) a mammoth, and the first need is some mammoth DNA. Since 1900s, scientists have been digging up remains (残骸)of mammoths in the cold ground. Some still even have their skin and hair. Unluckily, even when it's frozen, DNA still can’t be kept very well. It starts to break apart soon after an animal dies. Scientists have found plenty of mammoth DNA-but it's all just short bits(零碎)and in a mess.
Modern Asian elephants are cousins of the ancient mammoths. Their DNA is about 99% the same. Still, that adds up to 70 million differences. But if we could change the elephant’s DNA in the places that are different could we make mammoth DNA Some researchers at Harvard are giving it a try. They have got out 14 bits of DNA in elephant blood cells that help mammoths stand(抵御 )the cold. It seemed to work. But they're only working with groups of cells, not a whole animal. There is still a long way to go before cloning a mammoth.
Even if scientists could clone a mammoth or other disappeared animals, would it be a good idea It might be cool to see a real, living mammoth. But would such an animal be happy, with no other mammoths around Who would teach it how to be a mammoth There are important questions for trying to bring back any disappeared creature. Cloning is expensive and often fails. Would the money be better spent on saving endangered animals that are still alive
41. What happened to mammoth DNA
A. Stayed the same. B. Broke apart.
C. Got longer. D. Disappeared.
42. Which of the following is true about mammoths
A. They still lived on the Earth 400 years ago.
B. They looked the same as todays elephants.
C. They lived both in Africa and Asia.
D. They were larger and stronger than today's Asian elephants.
43. What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. There are lots of differences of DNA between mammoths and modern Asian elephants.
B. The scientists at Harvard have already cloned a mammoth.
C. It is not easy to clone a disappeared animal though their DNA is close to some animals.
D. The scientists are going to put the DNA of standing cold in another animal.
44. What is the writers opinion about cloning mammoths
A. It is a good idea to clone mammoths.
B. The scientists should try to clone other disappeared animals instead of mammoths.
C. We should prepare a better place for mammoths to live in the future.
D. We should pay more attention to endangered animals.
45. Where can we most probably read this passage
A. In a story magazine. B. In a cartoon newspaper.
C. On a science website. D. In a fashion report.

How to protect the endangered animals？
Animals are our friends. How to protect the endangered animals
First, our government is working to protect all animals in danger, and has made lots of plans to save the endangered animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals. We should keep them away from our meals. In that case, there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer. Last, we should protect the environment. We should give them fresh water to drink. We should stop people from cutting too many trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their homes. All of us should try our best to protect wild animals!

North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce. But in Minnesota, the USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives. In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.

A. shy and fearful animals B. not found today

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

During the Ice Age, the mammoths(猛犸象) lived both in Asia and America. But by about 4,000 years ago, the large and hairy elephants had disappeared.
Some scientists want to clone (克隆) a mammoth, and the first need is some mammoth DNA. Since 1900s, scientists have been digging up remains (残骸)of mammoths in the cold ground. Some still even have their skin and hair. Unluckily, even when it's frozen, DNA still can’t be kept very well. It starts to break apart soon after an animal dies. Scientists have found plenty of mammoth DNA-but it's all just short bits(零碎)and in a mess.
Modern Asian elephants are cousins of the ancient mammoths. Their DNA is about 99% the same. Still, that adds up to 70 million differences. But if we could change the elephant’s DNA in the places that are different could we make mammoth DNA Some researchers at Harvard are giving it a try. They have got out 14 bits of DNA in elephant blood cells that help mammoths stand(抵御 )the cold. It seemed to work. But they're only working with groups of cells, not a whole animal. There is still a long way to go before cloning a mammoth.
Even if scientists could clone a mammoth or other disappeared animals, would it be a good idea It might be cool to see a real, living mammoth. But would such an animal be happy, with no other mammoths around Who would teach it how to be a mammoth There are important questions for trying to bring back any disappeared creature. Cloning is expensive and often fails. Would the money be better spent on saving endangered animals that are still alive

C. Got longer. D. Disappeared.
42. Which of the following is true about mammoths
A. They still lived on the Earth 400 years ago.
B. They looked the same as todays elephants.
C. They lived both in Africa and Asia.
D. They were larger and stronger than today's Asian elephants.
43. What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. There are lots of differences of DNA between mammoths and modern Asian elephants.
B. The scientists at Harvard have already cloned a mammoth.
C. It is not easy to clone a disappeared animal though their DNA is close to some animals.
D. The scientists are going to put the DNA of standing cold in another animal.
44. What is the writers opinion about cloning mammoths
A. It is a good idea to clone mammoths.
B. The scientists should try to clone other disappeared animals instead of mammoths.
C. We should prepare a better place for mammoths to live in the future.
D. We should pay more attention to endangered animals.
