Kenya is the first country to protect elephants by text messages. Mobile phone SIM cards are inserted(插入) in the collars of elephants. The cards will send a text message when the elephants wander too close to farms, allowing wildlife protectors to drive them off rather than shoot them.
Hungry elephants cause big problems for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya when they are searching for food. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to unwillingly shoot five elephants who continued to destroy crops.
In order to prevent such bad activities, the Elephants charity put a mobile phone SIM card on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists(自然保護者) then set up a virtual(虛擬的) fence. Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to farmers. So far he’s been stopped from going into the danger area fifteen times.
The project seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn’t come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been put into operation in another part of the country.
One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another, which can help a whole group change their habits.
The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping the protectors know where to use their resources to protect the animals well.

解析試題分析:本文接省略非洲進行的一種保護大象的行為,在大象的身上植入一個芯片,來記錄大象的行蹤,進而保護農(nóng)民的莊稼,也保護了大象不被槍殺。
【小題1】D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句Hungry elephants cause big problems for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya when they are searching for food.可知當這些大象在饑餓的時候容易給農(nóng)民帶來損失。故D正確。
【小題2】C 推理題。根據(jù)本句Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to farmers. So far he’s been stopped from going into the danger area fifteen times.可知這里的It就是指前句中的Kimani也就是大象。故C正確。
【小題3】B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段The project seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn’t come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been put into operation in another part of the country. 可知這種做法很成功,故B項內(nèi)容正確。

If you give something to someone for free, will that person value it and use it? Development experts have debated this question for decades. Some think the act of paying causes people to value something and use it more.
Selling necessary health treatments, others argue, may deny them to the people who need them the most.
Consider, for example, chemically treated bed nets, which kill mosquitoes anti protect people against malaria(瘧疾)while they are sleeping. William Easterly, an economist at New York University, believes this is one example of development having gone wrong. In a recent book, Professor Easterly suggests bed nets given free in Africa are often used for the wrong purpose. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends bed nets be given out free and used by whole communities. The success of a large free bed net campaign in Kenya led the WHO to announce this recommendation
This debate will likely influence social programs in the developing world. Many non-governmental organizations support the creation of self-supporting programs in poor countries. Goods and services are sold for a price to help these programs survive.
According to Rachel Glenerster, who runs a research lab doing development and poverty studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her several studies have proven that small price changes have a big influence on the number of people who use a product. A price change will reduce the total amount of use of the product as well, she says. She has also found no evidence that the very act of paying for something changes how people use it.
As for a particular product among special populations, some development experts argue that pricing is useful. When it comes to bed nets, Miss Glenerster says research shows no evidence of this. People are just as likely to use a bed net whether they paid for it or not.
The debate among experts focuses on .
A. a special use of bed nets in Africa
B. the use of assistance-related products
C. the importance of social programs for the poor
D. a popular way to help the poor
According to some experts, certain health treatments .
A. can only be sold to the rich B. should be completely free
C. are too expensive D. are not needed by the poor
What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. The WHO's advice may not be always practical.
B. Many Africans don't know the function of bed nets.
C. The case of Kenya is doubtful.
D. Bed nets given to Africans are poor in quality.
What may be the possible change in the social program according to the third paragraph?
A. Some of them may become financially independent.
B. Many of them will not be organized by the government.
C. Some of them will go to developed countries.
D. Most of them will be free of charge.

Kenya is the first country to try and protect elephants by text message. Mobile phone SIM cards inserted in the collars(項圈) of elephants automatically send a text message when they get too close to farms, allowing wildlife workers to drive them off rather than shoot them.
Hungry elephants cause big problem for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya looking for food and destroying homes and livelihoods in the process. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to shoot five elephants with regret and sadness who continued to destroy crops.
In an attempt to avoid such destructive actions the Save the Elephants charity installed a mobile phone SIM card in a collar that was placed on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists( 自然環(huán)境保護者) then set up a virtual fence using a global positioning system.
Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to workers. So far he has been prevented from going into farms fifteen times.
The project is expensive requiring five full time staff and a vehicle but it seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn't come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been carried out in another part of the country.
One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another.
Tracking and controlling one elephant can help a whole group change their habits.
The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping to prevent illegal hunting and killing as the workers know where to concentrate their resources to best protect the animals.
45. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the project?
A. To extend elephants' habitat.
B. To protect farms from being destroyed.
C. To make more elephants change their habits.
D. To prevent elephants from being shot.
46. The fence mentioned in Paragraph 3 __________________________________ _.
A. can be seen by elephants B. actually refers to the text message
C. has prevented Kimani for 50 times D. doesn't exist in fact
47. According to the passage, the project ____________________.
A. costs just a little B. is carried out all by machine
C. seems to work out well D. is carried out across Kenya
