18、ors 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 condors were take
19、n 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 bridge the
20、 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 training
21、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 ability to p
22、roduce 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 for adult
23、 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 worth ev
24、ery effort we put into recovering them. ”28.California condors attract researchers interest because they_ .A. are active at night B. had to be bred in the wildC. are found on in California D.almost died out in the 1980s29. Researchers have found electrical lines are_ . A. blocking condors journey ho
25、me B.big killers of California condorsC. rest places for condors at night D. used to keep condors away30. 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 blood来源:学#科#网D.makes it difficu
26、lt for condors to produce baby birds31.The passage shows that_ . A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory B. Rideouts research interest lies in electric engineeringC.the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsD. researchers have found the final answers to the problem Pass
