　　第一篇　　on the trial of the honey badger

　　on a recent field trip to the kalahari desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers. the team employed a local wildlife expert kitso khama to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert. their main aim was to study the badgers’ movements and behavior as discreetly(谨慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior. they also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal’s reputation; this was something that even khama was reluctant to do.

　　“the problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,” he says. “that, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be a dangerous mixture. if they sense you have food, for example, they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. they’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious(凶恶的). fortunately this is rare, but it does happen.”

　　the research confirmed many things that were already known. as expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. the researchers were surprised, however, by the animal’s fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(猎物). the team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. they were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.

　　following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers. although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, they are occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.

　　as the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal’s curiosity—or sudden aggression. the badgers’ eating patterns which had been disrupted to normal. it also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger, as these seemed to badgers’ relaxed attitude when near humans.

　　31. why did the wild life experts visit the kalahari desert?

　　a. to find where honey badgers live.

　　b. to catch some honey badgers for food.

　　c. to observe how honey badgers behave.

　　d. to find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.

　　32. what does kitso khama say about honey badgers?

　　a. they are always looking for food.

　　b. they do not enjoy human company.

　　c. they show interest in things they are not familiar with.

　　d. it is common for them to attack people.

　　33. what did the team find out about honey badgers?

　　a. there were some creatures they did not eat.

　　b. they were afraid of poisonous creatures.

　　c. female badgers did not mix with male badgers.

　　d. they may get some of the water they needed from fruit.

　　34. which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?

　　a. they don’t run very quickly.

　　b. they defend their territory from other badgers.

　　c. they hunt over a very large area.

　　d. they are more aggressive than females.

　　第二篇

　　"lucky" lord lucan—alive or dead

　　on 8th november 1974 lord lucan，a british aristocrat, vanished. the day before, his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. to this day the british public are still interested in the murder case because lucan has never been found. now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new dna techniques will help solve this murder mystery.

　　people suspected that "lucky", as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. they say that lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. his estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that lucan had killed the nanny.

　　what happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories：he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. it appears that the night after the murder, "lucky" borrowed a car and drove it. lucan's friend aspinall said in an interview that he thought lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the english channel.

　　another version of events says that "lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to france. he was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. however, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so lucan was killed.

　　a further fascinating theory was made in the book dead lucky by duncan maclaughlin, a former detective. he believes that lucan travelled to goa, india, where he assumed the identity of a mr. barry haplin. lucan then lived in goa till his death in 1996. in the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. the man who died in 1996 was really haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. so what is the truth about "lucky"? dna testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
