阅读下面短文,根据第1至第5小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

  A hundred years ago, the only signs of elephants at Kruger National Park in north-eastern South Africa, which had just opened, were a few tracks in a dry river bed.Game hunters of the 19th century had hunted the creatures almost to extinction(绝种).Conservation efforts were so successful that, in 1967, the authorities decided they had to start culling(剔选)elephants -shooting them from helicopters and hauling their dead bodies away in trucks-to keep their populations between 6,000 and 8,000, considered to be the park's“carrying capacity(容量).”Few people questioned the policy, which was dropped in 1995.Since then, the elephant population has soared to 14,000.Conservationists now fear that it might destroy vegetation, threatening many life forms with extinction.

  A new proposal to select the creatures has created a dilemma for the national parks authority, South African National Parks.As a responsible department, it has urged that “decisive action is required”to safe guard the survival of the rich and various life forms in South African wildlife reserves.The culling of elephants, it argues, is needed as a necessary measure to prevent local creatures' extinctions in the future.“A decision of culling elephants,”the park manager said back in 2005,“should not be delayed beyond March 2006.”What has held up this action is fierce disagreement over whether culling the elephants is a morally responsible choice-a debate that didn't exist in 1967.

  What's changed? Scientists have told us in recent years that elephants and other higher mammals-such as chimpanzees, gorillas, dolphins, whales and dogs-have aspects of feelings and intelligence that until recently most people thought was the province of humans alone.Geneticists have shown that 98 per cent of the human genetic code is identical to that of chimpanzees.Psychologists and neuroscientists assert that higher mammals experience emotions.Linguistic researchers have proved that many mammals have languages with a diversity of sounds and symbols.The debate over what to do about Kruger's elephants-like similar debates over the ethics of animal testing and the treatment of animals raised for food-is challenging us to reflect on how we treat other living beings.

1.According to this passage, what was the most probable reason for elephants' almost extinction in north-eastern South Africa in the 19th century?(回答词数不超过1个)

2.Why did the authorities decide to keep the elephants' populations between 6, 000 to 8, 000?(回答词数不超过10个)

3.What department is in charge of Kruger National Park?(回答词数不超过4个)

4.What does the underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refer to?(回答词数不超过3个)

5.What does the debate over what to do about Kruger's elephants make us reflect on?

(回答词数不超过6个)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意:涂卡时,如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项,请按如下方式填涂:选E涂AB;选F涂BC;选G涂CD。
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.    1    We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.     2    
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts (收缩) . That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.     3       
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.
     4    
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.
     5     
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.
A.      We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B.      Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
C.      Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D.      The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
E.      They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F.      Take wax ( you may use an old candle if you have one ) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal them together. 
G.      People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
