The findings suggest that just as apparent personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner. Owners defined as individu als with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression and loneliness were mor e likely to have cats with behavioral issues. Such cats display more aggressive and anxious behavioral styles as well as more stress related sickness. They will also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight. The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had come from happier and healthier cats. Researchers explained that many owners regard their pets as a family member and form close social bonds with them. (17) The majority of o wners want to provide the best care for their pets and is therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interact with and manage them. The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and th e well-being of our pets. (18) Further research is needed to investigate the caus e of nature of this relationship and look at how owners’ personalities are directl y influencing their pet’s behavior and well-being. It is possible that the well-be ing of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner not simply by their c onscious decisions and behaviors.16. What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincoln?17. What does the passage say most pet owners want to do?18. What does the passage say it’s still needed to understand the effects of own ers’ personalities on their pets?Passage Two(19) One 50-minute run can add seven hours to your life. This was a claim made by The Times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies abo ut the effects of running. The review concluded that an average runners live thr ee years longer than non-runners and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise. But there’s more to running than its health benefits . (20) Research published in recent years have shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways from increasing your brain function t o regulating your emotions. However, the precise effects vary according to whe ther you engage in short fast running or long distance running. For example, in one study, researchers compared participants’ ability to learn new words after s everal minutes of intense running, and after 40 minutes of gentle running, parti cipants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the intense running and they s howed a superior memory when tested again a week later. In another study, res earchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips fro m a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips just as you’d expect. But cruciall y, this was less so if they had completed the 30 minutes jog. (21) The researche rs said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less v ulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.19. What did the new review of studies claim?20. What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?21. What did another study find about the participant after they had a 30 minute s jog?Passage ThreeWelcome to the tour of the Hill House. This house built in 1904 is one of the m ost well-known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect. It was designed and built for local entrepreneur and his family. Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building. (23) Prior to beginning his design, the architect spends sometime in the client’s old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant that he could design t he house according to the needs of the family. (24) The client’s main desire wa s to have a home with unique design, so the architect was given complete freed om. The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the p eriod. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. Thisone, however, is made of concrete, a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including the fittings and furniture, was also designe d by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. However, (25) both pieces in the children’s bedrooms are copies buil t to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the buil ding and its contents have been preserved, so we’ve been able to replace badly damaged furniture. Let’s begin our tour, starting from the rooms.22. What do we learn about the speaker?He is the guide of the tour.23. What dis the architect do before beginning his design?24. What did the architect’s client mainly want?25. What do we learn about the pieces of furniture in the children’s bedrooms?。

Unit 2 Initial Education启蒙教育Text 1 A Baby’s PerceptionA few years ago a young mother watched her husband diaper(尿布) their first-born son.“You don’t have to be so grim (严厉的) about it,”she protested.“You can talk to him and smile a little,”the father, who happened to be a psychologist, answered firmly, “he has nothing to say to me, and I have nothing to say to him.”Psychologists now know how wrong that father was. From the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parents, and they to him. But a decade or so ago, these experts were describing the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex(影像), a helpless victim of its environment without capacity to influence it. And mothers accepted the gospel(真理). Most thought (and some still do) that a new infant could see only blurry(模糊的) shadows, that his other senses were undeveloped, and that all he required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet(摇篮). Today university laboratories across the country are studying newborns in their first month of life. As a result, psychologists now describe the new baby as perceptive, with remarkable learning abilities and an even more remarkable capacity to shape his environment —including the attitudes and actions of his parents. Some researchers believe that the neonatal (初生的) period may even be the most significant four weeks in an entire lifetime.Far from being helpless, the newborn knows what he likes and rejects what he doesn’t. He shuts out unpleasant sensations by closing his eyes or averting(转移) his face. He is a glutton(酷爱…的人) for novelty(新奇的事物). He prefers animate(鼓舞) things over inanimate and likes people more than anything.When a mere nine minutes old, an infant prefers a human face to a head-shaped outline. He makes this choice despite the fact that, with delivery room attendants masked and gowned, he has never seen a human face before. By the time he’s twelve hours old, his entire body moves in precise synchrony(同步性) to the sound of a human voice, as if he were dancing. A non-human sound, such as a tapping noise, brings no such response.[A] firmly [B] victim [C] outline [D] delivery [E] precise [F] protested [G] perceptive [H] primitive [I] rejects [J] significant [K] shadows [L] tapping婴儿的感知能力几年前,一位年轻的母亲看到她的丈夫给大儿子换尿布的情形。

(英语四级听力)大学英语四级听力题型题型及答题技巧

大学英语四级听力题型题型及答题技巧听力局部的分值在四级考试中占35%,录音播放时间在35分钟左右。

如何在这“惊心动魄〞的半小时中,有效把握信息点,是很多考生颇为头疼的问题。

下面是由我给大家带来的大学英语四级听力题型分析及答题技巧,一起来看看吧!大学英语四级听力题型分析一、新闻题。

新闻题的特点是原文会开门见山交待发生的事情。

而往往新闻题的第一道题考的也是新闻主旨,所以新闻题的开头局部很重要。

后面通常是围绕新闻主旨进行细节描述,那么后一道或者后两道会出在细节上。

另外熟悉新闻常用词也是必要的。

当然具体到每道题的方法还会有各自特点,下面做逐题分析1新闻第一题在开头局部找答案,此题从开头局部通过视听一致即可确定,预览选项先划出选项中的重点词,因为A/B/D三项均没有听到其中的重点词,只有C项中dangerous明显听到。

2 预览此题为短词选项,短词选项通常符合视听一致,但难点是容易出现干扰项。

但窍门在于如果出现没听懂却只听到选项其中两个词的情况,历年考试规律是选后者正确概率大得多。

不过,此题没有出现干扰项,所以很简单属于送分题。

3 第二篇新闻题是事故类新闻,这类新闻更是会开头交待出时间人物地点事件。

这篇新闻题第一题仍然是问发生的什么事情,考生抓住开头介绍,视听一致确定答案。

4抓住关键词: so that ,关键词加视听一致即可。

5 第三个新闻题第一题仍旧考题出在新闻主旨上,同样的方法,简单预览选项,文章开头第一句视听一致。

6此题是细节题。

考生应该注意的是新闻题中遇到“目击证人说/有关部门说/相关研究人员说〞这类句子要认真听,此处容易出题。

此题,原文中announce(宣称)后视听一致确定答案。

7同样新闻题中出现时效性的分析或者预测都会是考点,所以诸如某人predict/estimate/ assess/confirm这样的句子时认真听,此题he estimated that…后面视听一致很容易听到lose jobs,此题无干扰项,容易确定答案。

He is the longest tenured CEO in the whole computer industry. By using his innovative direct-to-consumer marketing approach and by pioneering the industry’s first service and support programs—the build-to-order revolution, Dell Computer Corporation has successfully eliminated the middle-man and established itself as one of the top vendors of personal computers worldwide.Frederick SmithFrederick Smith is Chairman, President and CEO of Federal Express Corporation, or FedEx, a global provider of transportation, e-commerce and supply chain management services. But when he first came up with the idea of overnight delivery service, nobody seemed to be interested in it. And now with its just-in-time delivery system, Smith has made FedEx a multi-billion dollar industry. FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.B. Fred must stay competitive in the following aspects:1) the quality of service2) the breadth of the network3) the unique services needed4) the costPart 3 Michael Dell vs. Frederick Smith (2)B. Question: What keeps you going and what have you left to accomplish?Michael:Motivation: The opportunity in the industry, in the businessAmbitions1. To be a leader not only in client computing, but also in the enterprise and servers and storage.2. To do business not just in the United States but all over the world3. To add a lot of services that go along with the productsFrederickPositive attitude towards future:Being truly excited about the company’s futurePositive attitude towards work:Enjoy going to work every dayLove to competeLove to innovateLove to work with a lot of wonderful people and sit right in the middleof a lot of very exciting business trends.Part 4 More about the topicSummary:One of the most fundamental steps toward a successful business is the business plan. It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized o perated forming Localdeveloped shares materials produced profits ownedbusiness operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 V olunteer m ain rules organized made soldeconomy money industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theoriessupply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completing continuinggame jobs education money get earnneed want high schoolUnit 7 Fame and FortuneFor the tape script, you can download the file beside.Click here to download the file with tape script.(Or right click & “save target as”)Part I Getting readyA.B.

Part 1 Dialogue: Social Grouping1.A2.C3.D4.C5.B6.C7.B8.A(正文)Interview: Right. You‟re talking about social groupings here, could you tell us something about the ways animals form into groups?Nike Down: Yes, er many, many animals are very solitary animals; the only times they get together is when they mate,or when they're bringing up their young. The majority of animals are solitary, but a very significant group of mammals and insects, like ants and termites, bees and wasps are very social and they group together because in a group it's much safer: you can defend yourself more easily if you're in a group, you can find mates more easily if you're in a group, and you can change the world around you by working with the others if you live in a group. Solitary animals have a much more difficult time in many ways.Interview: You mentioned lions and other carnivore earlier on. Do they group very much?Nike Down: Yes. Most cats in fact don…t group. Er, lions and, to a le sser extent, cheetahs are the only cats that group together. A group of lions is called a pride--and you might get anything up to fifteen or twenty lions in a pride. A pride of lions would have perhaps two or three males, perhaps a dozen females, and then the cubs. But the real lion group consists of females with their cubs. The males tend to stay for a few years and then they get kicked out by a group of younger males that comes in and take over.Interview: And how about the apes?Nike Down: Ah, well, now you're talking about the group of animals that webelong to. Apes -- some apes -- live in very, very big and complicated social groups. Not all. Orangutans, for example, big apes that live in Indonesia and Malaysia -- they're very solitary and one adult may meet another adult only once every two or three years, when a male and a female mate, and then, the only relationship then will be between a mother and her baby. The baby will stay with the mother for two or three years, four years, five years even, learning from the mother, learning what sorts of foods to eat, what the signs of danger are, and then when the baby grows up, off it'll go, and live its own, solitary life. The reason why orangutans are solitary is because there's not very much food in a forest and if there was a big group of orangutans, all the food would just run out. But, leaving Asia and going to Africa, then you find very social apes. Now, gorillas, for example. Gorillas live in unimale groups. They used to be called harems, but the technical term is unimale because there's one male within the group; one male, and then around him will be anything up to six, seven, eight, nine females, plus all the babies. And that one male in the group is the silverback gorilla, and he's much bigger and stronger than the others. He's got silvery fur on his back and the others won't challenge him and he'll lead the group slowly through the forest, settling down every night and moving on the next day, finding food. So that's a unimale group. But if you move a little bit further west, into West Africa, you'll start to come across chimpanzees.Now they're a bit smaller than gorillas; they spend a lot of time in the trees, whereas gorillas are down on the ground and chimpanzees are much more closely related to us than they are to gorillas They're our closest living relatives. Now chimps live in multimale groups; in other words you'll get, oh, anything up to six, seven, eight males, hen you'll get two or three times that number of females, a dozen, two dozen females, plus all the youngsters, so we're talking about groups that can be as big as forty or fifty of even sixty. Now, a chimpanzee group--multimale group-- is a very flexible type of group: it constantly splits into smaller groups, off they go for a few days, back they come, reform, break up again and within that group the males tend to hang around the outside, protecting the group, fighting off rival males that might want to come in and mate with the females, but they tend to come and go to some extent The on-going core of the chimpanzee group consists of females with their young, and sometimes sisters will actually work together to bring up their young collectively. Yes, so apes are very, very social animals indeed.Part 2 Passage: Community CollegesGreat challenges faced the United States in the early 20th century, including global economic competition. National and local leaders realized that a more skilled workforce was key to the country's continued economic strength - a need that called for a dramatic increase in college attendance - yet three-quarters of high school graduates were choosing not to further their education, in part because they were reluctant to leave home for a distant college.During the same period, the country's rapidly growing public high schools were seeking new ways to serve their communities. It was common for them to add a teacher institute, manual learning (vocational education) division or citizenship schoolto the diploma program. The high school-based community college, as first developed at Central High School in Joliet, Ill. was the most successful type of addition. Meanwhile, small, private colleges such as Indiana‟s Vincennes University had fashioned an effective model of higher education grounded on the principles of small classes, close student-faculty relations and a program that included both academics and extracurricular activities.From the combination of these traditions emerged the earliest community colleges, roughly balanced in number between private and public control but united in their commitment to meet local needs. The typical early community college was small, rarely enrolling more than 150 students. It nevertheless offered a program of solid academics as well as a variety of student activities. Fort Scott Junior College in Kansas, for example, not only fielded several athletic teams but also supported a student newspaper, government, thespian society and orchestra.A distinctive feature of the institutions was their accessibility to women, attributable to the leading role the colleges played in preparing grammar school teachers. In such states as Missouri, which did not yet require K-8 teachers to have a bachelor's degree, it was common for more than 60 percent of community college students to be women, virtually all of them preparing to be teachers.Community colleges are centers of educational opportunity. More than 100 years ago, this unique, American invention put publicly funded higher education at close-to-home facilities and initiated a practice of welcoming all who desire to learn, regardless of wealth, heritage or previous academic experience. Today, the community college continues the process of making higher education available to a maximum number of people at 1,166 public and independent community colleges.The breadth of programming and variety of students‟ goal make it difficult to accurately quantify community college performance. Unlike 4-year colleges, where attainment of a bachelor‟s degree is the implicit goal of students, community college students do not share a common goal beyond self-improvement.Research shows that education pays. Students who complete associate degrees and certificates are more likely to move into higher-status management and professional positions with higher earnings. An investment of a few thousand dollars now will likely pay lifelong dividends, as students who earn associate degrees average lifetime earnings of more than $250,000 to $400,000 more than people without degrees.But success at community colleges must be broadly to include not just those who attain associate degrees and those who earn certificates, but also the millions who take noncredit and workforce training classes.B: Sentence Dictation1.Great challenges faced the United States in the early 20th century, including global economic competition.2.During the same period, the country's rapidly growing public high schools were seeking new ways to serve their communities.3.It offered a program of solid academics as well as a variety of student activities.4.A distinctive feature of the institutions was their accessibility to women,attributable to the leading role the colleges played in preparing grammar school teachers。

His father said, "No, it's dangerous to chase a bear. And don't let him chase you." Susie said: "What shall we do?" "Maybe we ought to climb a tree." Tom said: "No, we've got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent." "Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested. Then I said: "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent." ⑩We watched the bear enter the tent and heard him upset everything inside. ⑨ “It's foolish for us to try to catch him.”said my husband, “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out.” We waited but the bear stayed inside.

Unit 2Part BEmbarrassing Experiences (Part One)Interviewer: Rob, you went to Brazil, didn't you?Rob: Y es, I did.Interviewer: So, what happened?Rob: Well, I went into this meeting and there were about, er... seven or eight people in there and I just said 'Hello' to everybody and sat down. Apparently, what I should have done is to go round the room shaking hands with everyone individually. Well, you know, it's silly of me because I found out later it upset everyone. I mean, I think they felt I was taking them for granted.Kate: Well, I know that because when I was in France the first time, I finished a meeting , with 'Goodbye, everyone!' to all the people in the room. There were about half a dozen people there but I was in a hurry to leave, so I just said that and left. Well, I later found out that what I should have done is shake hands with everyone in the group before leaving. Now, apparently, it's the polite thing to do.Interviewer: Well, people shake hands in different ways, don't they?Rob: Oh, yes, that's right, they do. See, normally I shake hands quite gently when I meet someone. So when I went to the US for the first time, I think people there thought my weak handshake was a sign of weakness. Apparently, people there tend to shake hands quite firmly.Kate: Oh, gosh, you know, that reminds me: on my first trip to Germany, it was a long time ago, I was introduced to the boss in the company when he passed us in the corridor. Well, I wasn't prepared, and I mean, I had my left hand in my pocket. And when we shook hands I realized my left hand was still in my pocket. Well, that was, you know, very bad manners and I was quite embarrassed.Interviewer: And how about using first names? Have you made any mistakes there?Rob: Oh, yes, I have! When I first went to Italy I thought it was OK to use everyone's first name so as to seem friendly. And I later discovered that in business you shouldn't use someone's first name unless you are invited to. Oh, and you should always use their title as well.Kate: Hm, yeah, well, when I met people in Russia, you know, they seemed to be puzzled when Ishook hands with them and said 'How do you do?' Well, what they do when they greet a stranger is to say their own names, so I had that all wrong!Rob: Oh, yes, I agree with that. Remembering names is very important.Interviewer: Shall we take a break? When we come back we'll move on to our next topic.Kate & Rob: OK.1. What is the conversation mainly about?2. Who might be the people Rob and Kate met in various countries?3. What can we infer about Kate and Rob from the conversation?4. Which countries has Kate visited, according to the conversation?5. Which countries has Rob visited, according to the conversation?6. What is the main message that the speakers want to tell us?Part CAdditional ListeningAmerican PartiesAs you would imagine, Americans move about a great deal at parties. At small gatherings they may sit down, but as soon as there are more people than chairs in a room - a little before this point - you will see first one and then another make some excuse to get to his feet to fetch a drink or greet a friend or open a window until soon everyone is standing, moving around, chatting with one group and then another. Sitting becomes static beyond a certain point. We expect people to move about and be "self-starters". It is quite normal for Americans to introduce themselves; they will drift around a room , stopping to talk wherever they like, introducing themselves and their companions. If this happens, you are expected to reply by giving your name and introducing the person with you; then at least the men generally shake hands. Sometimes the women do so as well, but often they merely nod and smile. A man usually shakes a woman's hand only if she extends it. Otherwise he too just nods and greets her.Statements:1. We can't imagine that Americans do not like big parties and they prefer going around at parties.2. At small parties they may sit down, but as more people come, they would stand up and move about.3. The reason why Americans like to stand is that they like the free atmosphere of the party.4. The meaning of "self-starters" is that Americans help themselves to drinks during the parties.5. Americans are more open-minded than British people according to the passage.6. If a woman doesn't extend her hand to a man at the party, he should not shakes hands with the woman.7. The passage shows a unique aspect of American culture.Embarrassing Experiences (Part Two)Interviewer: Let's go on with our talk. What do you think of business cards, Rob?Rob: I found them very useful when I was in Japan not so long ago. Each person can clearly see the other's name and the job title on the card. And I found out that you have to treat business cards with respect. What you've got to do is hold them with both hands and then read them very carefully. What happened to me was the first time I just took a man's card with one hand and put it straight into my pocket.Interviewer: What other advice do you have, Kate?Kate: Well, one time I unintentionally caused some problems when I was in China. Well, I was trying to make a joke when I pretended to criticize my business associate for being late for a meeting. And he was embarrassed, I mean, he was really embarrassed instead of being amused. Now you shouldn't criticize people in China or embarrass them. I mean, you must avoid confrontation. That's for sure!Rob: Oh, I must tell you about the first time I was in Mexico! I have to admit I found it a bit strange when business associates there touched me on the arm and the shoulder. Well, I tried to move away and, of course, they thought I was being very, very unfriendly. Apparently, it's quiteusual there for men to touch each other in, you know, in a friendly way. Oh ... oh, and another thing, the first time I went to Korea I thought it was polite not to look someone in the eye too much. The Koreans I met seemed to be staring at me when I spoke, which seemed, you know, a bit odd at first. In Korea, eye contact conveys sincerity and it shows you're paying attention to the speaker.Kate: Oh, well, it seemed strange because you British don't look at each other so much when you're talking to each other. I mean, you look away, you know, most of the time. I found this hard to deal with when I first came to the UK, because people seemed to be embarrassed when I looked at them while they were speaking to me.Interviewer: So what's the thing visitors to Britain should avoid most?Rob: Well, I don't think we're all that sensitive, do you, Kate?Kate: Ohoo, well, I'll tell you, I made a big mistake when I was in Scotland. I found myself referring to the UK as "England" and to the British as "the English". Now, I know that would be just as bad in Wales, I guess.Rob: Y es, it certainly would!。

”News 1 A 9-year-old girl in New Mexico has raised more than $500 for her little brother who needs heart surgery in Houston Texas this July. 第1题 Addison Witulski's grandmother Kim Allred said Addison probably overheard a conversation between family members talking about the funds needed to get her little brother to treatment. " I guess she overheard her grandfather and me talking about how we’re worried about how we’re going to get to Houston, for my grandson’s heart surgery,” said Allred. She decided to go outside and have a lemonade stand and make some drawings and pictures and sell them.”第2题 That’s when Addison and her friends Erika and Emily Borden decided to sell lemonade for 50 cents a cup and sell pictures for 25 cents each. 第2题 Before Allred knew it, New Mexico State Police Officers were among the many, stopping by helping them reach a total of $568. The family turned to social media expressing their gratitude saying, “From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to deeply thank each and every person that stopped by!” 第⼀题根据选项特征,考查和⼥性相关的某位⼈物;第⼆题根据选项介词by判断需要听某⼀种⽅法途径,但是关键信息词仍旧落在动宾搭配上:A. taking pictures ; B. working part time; C. selling lemonade and pictures; D. asking for help Q1: Who did Addison raise money for? Her little brother 原⽂ Q2: How did Addison raise money? By selling lemonade and pictures. 原⽂ News 2 Last week, France announced that the country will pave 621 miles of road with solar panels over the next five years, with the goal of providing cheap, renewable energy to five million people. 第3题 Called “the Wattway,” the roads will be built through joint efforts with the French road-building company Colas and the National Institute of Solar Energy. The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of an inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install. 第4题 France isn’t the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot-long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top of existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways. 第三题⼤概浏览选项后发现和能源话题有关联,通过基本的选项信息⼤致确定听的定位,进⼀步根据选项给出的信息词进⾏判断:A. finding cheaper ways; B. generating electric power; C. providing clean energy; D. testing the efficiency 第四题注意they 是物,⼀些复数物体可以如何,针对细节信息进⾏考查,听的适合做笔记,好好判断 Q3: What was France's purpose of constructing the Wattway? Providing clean energy to five million people. 原⽂ Q4: What is special about the solar panels used in the Wattway? They can be laid right on top of existing highways. News 3 Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. Continuous fighting in the region has made surveys difficult. 第5题 But scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard evidence, the discovery of "lost lions." A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in the National Park in northwest Ethiopia, on the Ethiopia-Sudan border. The researchers set out six camera traps capturing images of lions, and they identified lion tracks. 第6题 The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in the neighbouring National Park across the border in Sudan.第7题 The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a "possible range" for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence. 该新闻中⼼点和野⽣动物相关,话题点不陌⽣,但是做题时切忌带⼊⾃我理解。
