The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节).Bandhavgarh ZonesBandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the parks best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep SafarisBandhavgarh has bee expensive to visit in recent years.

In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds. In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico. Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines, ” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once. So scientists have e up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of setfree birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%. Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney failure and death. 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. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in xx to 5.4% in xx. Rideouts team thinks that the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now，” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”24. Researchers have found electrical lines are _. A. blocking condors journey home B. big killers of California condorsC. rest places for condors at nightD. used to keep condors away25. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning _. A. makes condors too nervous to fly B. has little effect on condors kidneysC. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors bloodD. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds26This passage shows that _. A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB. Rideouts research interest lies in electric engineeringC. the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsD. researchers have found the final answers to the problem27.Howwouldtheauthorfeelabouttheouteoftheevent?A. Itsunexpected. B.Itsbeautiful.C.Itshumorous. D.Itsdiscouraging.CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or munity gained petence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers pared the mens mentalhealth scores with their boyhoodactivity scores. Points were awarded for parttime jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Workingat any ageis important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and petencethe foundations of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work towards mon goals. The most petent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”28What do we know about John? AHe enjoyed his career and marriage.BHe had few childhood playmates.CHe received little love from his family.DHe was envied by others in his childhood.29Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _Aa description of personal values and social valuesBan analysis of how work was related to petenceCan example for parents expectations of their childrenDan explanation why some boys grew into happy men30What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?AQuick to react. BHaving a thin edge.CClear and definite. DSudden and rapid.31What can be inferred from the last paragraph?Apetent adults know more about love than work.BEmotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.CLove brings more joy to people than work does.DIndependence is the key to ones success.DIts hard not to crack a smile when youre faced with the tail-wagging, constantly smiling Kit-Cat Clock, which is kind of the reason it first came to be. In the 1930s, America was in the thick of the hopeless and gloomy Great Depression, and across the country people were in low spirits. Powerless to the crisis on a larger scale, Oregon designer Earl Arnault designed a way to bring a glimmer of joy to the people around him; the Kit-Cat Clock. He conceived the feline(猫科的)themed product in early 1932tricky eyes, black wagging tail and allbut it wasnt until the end of the decade when the depression began to lift that production of the clocks officially began. Originally, the smiling Kit-Cat Clock were made entirely from metal, but as the popularity of manufacturing with plastic grew, the Kit-Cat Clock soon followed suit. Two forepaws and a bow tie were added in the 1950s, and the wagging tail was made a little bit fashionable. Aside from these minor changes, however, the design remained largely unchanged from the time of its birth. Sadly, in the 1980s the Kit-Cat Clock nearly went kaputwith motor manufacturing relocated offshore and batteries still in their infancy(幼儿期), it was difficult to keep the clocks many parts moving. So, it was up to the makers to e up with a solution: a brand new, powerful piece of battery technology. With the Kit-Cat Clock free to tick away another day, different colour options and sizes, and a lady version were eventually introduced, too. 32. Why did Earl Arnault design the Kit-Cat Clock?A. To kill the time.B. To bring people pleasure. C. To present his designing ability.D. To encourage people to face the crisis bravely. 33. When was the Kit-Cat Clock put into production?A. In the 1950s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the early 1930s. D. In the late 1930s. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph three?A. The Kit-Cat clock is made totally from plastic now. B. The Kit-Cat clock has changed greatly since the 1950s. C. Kit-Cat Clocks of different shapes can be bought on the market. D. It was the new battery technology that saved the Kit-Cat Clock.35. Whats the passage mainly about?A. The change of the Kit-Cat Clock.B. The design of the Kit-Cat Clock. C. The history of the Kit-Cat Clock.D. The purpose of the Kit-Cat Clock. 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。How do very busy, successful people spend their own time?The following is the answer by Evan Asano, founder and CEO of Mediakix, a leading influencer marketing pany.Work is similar to training for a sport.
