32、12California condors attract researchers interest because they _.Aare active at nightBhad to be bred in the wildCare found only in CaliforniaDalmost died out in the 1980s【解析】推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，20世纪80年代，由于触电和铅中毒，加利福尼亚州的秃鹰濒临灭绝，20世纪80年代末，仅剩的几只秃鹰从野外被带回繁殖，由此可推断正是秃鹰濒临灭绝才引起了研究人员的注意和兴趣，故选D项。【答案】D13Researcher
33、s have found electrical lines are _.Ablocking condors journey homeBbig killers of California condorsCrest places for condors at nightDused to keep condors away【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，电线一直在使秃鹰丧命，并且解释原因说，秃鹰晚上休息的时候看不见电线，而它们宽大的翅膀正好同时搭在两根电线上，于是它们立刻就被电死了，故选B项。【答案】B14According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning _.

36、析】推理判断题。本文主要介绍了美国加利福尼亚秃鹰濒临灭绝以及科研人员为挽救它们而展开的救援和研究工作，且实施措施有了回报(pay off)，由此可知，C项正确，排除B项。根据最后一段中的just under eight years可排除A项；根据these measures are not effective forever可排除D项。【答案】C.阅读填句(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。_16_You probably think you will never be a top student.This is
