In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical tre

25、atment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors 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 ju

26、st dont see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines atonce.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas teach the birds to stay clear of

27、electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the 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,

28、 they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability 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

29、blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate 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 thewild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective

30、 forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every 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.

33、ood resultsD. researchers have found the final answers to the problemDScientists said on Thursday they have for the first time detected gravitational (引力的) waves, ripples (涟波) in space and time hypothesized (假设) by physicist Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery that opens a new win

34、dow for studying the cosmos.Discovering gravitational waves would be a huge deal for physics, cosmology, and our understanding of the universe at large. But if youre not a scientist studying one of the mentioned fields, its possible youve never heard of these mysterious ripples. So what are gravitat

35、ional waves and why is the discovery so significant?Gravitational waves are disturbances in space-time, the very fabric of the universe, that travel at the speed of light. The waves are sent out by any mass that is changing speed or direction. The simplest example is a binary (二元的) system, where a p

36、air of stars or compact objects (like black holes) orbit their common center of mass.We can think of gravitational effects as curvatures (曲率) in space-time. Earths gravity is constant and produces a static curve in space-time. A gravitational wave is a curvature that moves through space-time much li

37、ke a water wave moves across the surface of a lake. It is generated only when masses are speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.The new discovery was made by a group of more than 1,000 scientists from universities around the United States as well as in 14 other countries. Director David Rei

38、tze announced on Thursday at a press conference that they detected gravitational waves.While opening a door to new ways to observe the universe, scientists said gravitational waves should help them gain knowledge about mysterious objects like black holes and neutron stars. The waves also may provide

39、 insight into the mysterious nature of the very early universe.The scientists said that because gravitational waves are so radically (彻底地) different from electromagnetic waves they expect them to reveal big surprises about the universe.33.The author explains the term of gravitational waves _.A. by c
