Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Section A

Directions:

In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word

for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage

through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a

letter.

Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheer 2 with a single line through

the centre.y ou may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

In what's probably the craziest headline I’ve ever written, I’ve reported that 26_in livestock

protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts of cows. The experiment is

based upon the idea that farmers who're protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill

lions in an effort to protect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it results in many lion

deaths that 27 would have been unnecessary. Researchers in Australia have been 28 and testing a

method of trickery to make lions think they are being watched by the painted eyes on cow butts.

This idea is based on the principle that lions and other_29 are far less likely to attack when

they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly

coming into contact with human populations, which are expanding to the 30 of these protected

areas.
