18、h Guides list.The city in the English county of Yorkshire was honored 12 years after the book Crap Towns named it as the worst place in Britain to live. But why has the opinion of Hull changed so much? One of the biggest reasons is the appreciation of its many cultural attractions, just in time for
19、Hull to be the UKs City of Culture in 2017.On its website, Rough Guides explained why it had chosen Hull in its list. “ Itll be full of new hotels and restaurants, and even more of that home-grown creativity the city has always had,” It wrote. Indeed, Hull is famous for its historical pubs, like Ye
20、Ode White Harte, the place where the decision to start the English Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651 was taken. But it is not just known as a city of pubs nowadays.

26、ifornia condors are North Americas largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) 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 condor
27、s were taken from 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
28、bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come 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
29、 training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%. Lead poisonous 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 ab
30、ility to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures 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
31、 for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011. 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
32、 worth every effort we put into recovering them. ”27. California condors attract researchers interest because they _.A. are active at nightB. had to be bred in the wildC. are found on in CaliforniaD. almost died out in the 1980s28. Researchers have found electrical lines are _.A. blocking condors jo
33、urney home B. big killers of California condorsC. rest places for condors at nightD. used to keep condors away29. 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 form condors bloodD. makes it differe
34、nt for condors to produce baby birds30. The passage shows that _.A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB.
