6、Native to America, the cane toad (癩蛤蟆) was introduced to northern Queensland 70 years ago to control sugarcane beetles (甘蔗害蟲). The toads failed in that duty but spread across Queensland and into neighboring northern area.

Now it calmly invades(侵略)the states of Western Australia and New South Wales (NSW). NSW wildlife experts fear the amphibians--which have poisonous backs that kill hungry predators,(食肉動(dòng)物)--will have a terrible effect on native animals.

Those fears may be about to be realized. Australia’s leading government research body, the  Commonwealth Science and Industry Research organization (CSIRO), forecasts a rise in average temperatures that will make NSW ideal living place for the cane toad.

Tony Robinson, head of CSIRO’s Wildlife，Pests，and Diseases Program, said climate change is increasing the amount of suitable living place for the toad.

“With climate change, the cane toads might go down as far as Sydney and some areas of Western Australia,” Robinson said.

Recent estimates put the pace of the toad’s westward march at nearly 17 miles(27 kilometers)a year and slightly slower from north to south.

More southerly cities, such as Melbourne and Adelaide, would likely remain too cold and dry to ever suit the toads, Robinson noted, but Perth could expect cane toads in five years’ time.

Sydney could see their arrival in the next 20 years.

Robinson said there is no 0ne method that will keep the toads under control.

The cane toads already cover at least half of Queensland and most of the northern country the toads are believed to number in the billions.

A Venezuelan virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be given up after it was found to also kill native frog species.

Scientists and governmental bodies believe a national approach is needed.

The main threat the toads cause to species such as dingos, quolls, goannas, and crocodiles is the poison contained in glands (腺) on each of the frogs' shoulders. The poison sprays out when the toads are threatened or handled roughly.

The poison is made up of 14 different chemicals. Together they cause rapid heartbeats, excessive salivation, convulsions, and paralysis.

Cane toads also compete, and usually win, the hunt for food and living space.

“If the government and other states combine resources, I believe we can achieve a very practical biological -control research program, ”Burns said.

       A．Poison Toads Leap Across Australia

       B．Strategies To Keep the Toads Under Control

       C．The Main Threat the Cane Toads Cause

73．According to the passage, which of the following is true about the cane toads？

       A．The cane toads are strong enough to kill dingos, quolls or even crocodiles.

       B．With 14 different kinds of poisons in its body, a cane toad always wins the hunt for food.

       C．The cane toad was brought to Australia to kill pests from America 70 years ago.

       D．The toads move westward and northward because there is plenty of food there.

74．It can be inferred from the passage that          .

       A．The cane toad bites its enemy dead when it is threatened or handled rudely.

       B．The cane toad has already threatened the survival of the native species.

       C．Scientists and governmental bodies have achieved a successful biological - control

program.

5、    Protests (抗議) at the use of animals in research have taken on a new and fearful character in

Britain with the attempted murder of two British scientists by the terrorist (恐怖分子的) technique of the pre planted car bomb.

The research community (社團(tuán)) will rightly be alarmed at these developments which have two aims: to draw public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals. The scientists insist that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes and to put them on trial. The Defense Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of ￡10,000 for information leading to those responsible, but past experience is not encouraging. People are unlikely to be attracted by such offers. The professional police will similarly be challenged by the problem of finding a needle in a haystack.

That is why the intellectual (知識(shí)分子) community in Britain and elsewhere must act more strongly in its own defense. There are several steps that can be taken, of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the declared aims of defending the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people. And it will not be enough for the chairman and chairwoman of these organizations to make placatory (安撫的) statements on behalf of all their members. These people should also promise that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would-be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings.

68．The words “these developments” (Line 1, Para.2) most probably refer to          .

       A．the use of animals in research

       B．the acts of violence against scientists

       C．the techniques of planting bombs in cars

       D．setting up of new animal protection organizations

69．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A．The police gave up their efforts to find the criminals.

       B．The terrorists escaped with the help of their organization.

       C．The attempted murder caused great anxiety among British scientists.

       D．People supported the animal protectors in spite of their extremist acts.

70．The author’s purpose in writing this article is to demand that animal-protecting organizations         .

       A．give up the use of violence

       B．declare their aims clearly

       C．continue the dialogue with the scientific community

       D．help to find those responsible for the attempted murder

71．In the author’s opinion,           .

       A．a(chǎn)nimal-protecting organizations should be declared illegal

       B．the scientists should take effective measures to protect themselves

       C．since people can lie, the problem about the rights of scientists can’t be solved

       D．a(chǎn)nimal-protecting organizations should help the police to fight against the acts of violence against scientists
