It is important

16、to understand that mosquito control is much more than sending a spray truck (airplane or helicopter in other counties) to kill adult mosquitoes.

30、rtlist by an audience voting using their phones. New Platforms The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work Therefore, m

31、obile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression seen by a wide audience Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world! New Technology Advances MoF

32、ilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size However this could be overcome as technology advances. In the near future, longer films will likely be seen

33、 on the mobile phone And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality KS*5U.C#O%下 Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come

This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shootin

38、g to protect those animals which still survive. Some people say that man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals. I belie

39、ve the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of

40、 the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are

41、 clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself. The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote: “You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animals own territory (领地 ).You m

42、ust fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the thing you kill

43、, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.” I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern we

44、apons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits. 【小题 1】 There is little hunting in India now partly because _. A it is dangerous to hunt there B hunting is already out of date C hunters

45、want to protect animals D there are few animals left to hunt 【小题 2】 The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly _. A to make the countryside safe B to earn peoples admiration C to gain power and influence D to improve their health 【小题 3】 What do we learn about the big-game hunters A They hunt old a

46、nimals. B They mistreat animals. C They hunt for food. D They hunt for money. 【小题 4】 What is the authors view on the tiger-shoots he has seen A Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face. B Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons. C Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of ti

47、gers. D Modern hunters should put their safety first. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not

48、search for extraterrestrial (地球外的 ) intelligence Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（ SETI） project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other planets. Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project
