Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer.

He set up Peter Black born Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.

“I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,” he says, “I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go”.

Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.

“Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,” he says “I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.”

Kenya is the first country to try and protect elephants by text message. Mobile phone SIM cards inserted in the collars(项圈) of elephants automatically send a text message when they get too close to farms, allowing wildlife workers to drive them off rather than shoot them.

Hungry elephants cause big problem for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya looking for food and destroying homes and livelihoods in the process. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to shoot five elephants with regret and sadness who continued to destroy crops.

In an attempt to avoid such destructive actions the Save the Elephants charity installed a mobile phone SIM card in a collar that was placed on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists( 自然环境保护者) then set up a virtual fence using a global positioning system.

Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to workers. So far he has been prevented from going into farms fifteen times.

The project is expensive requiring five full time staff and a vehicle but it seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn't come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been carried out in another part of the country.

One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another.

Tracking and controlling one elephant can help a whole group change their habits.

The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping to prevent illegal hunting and killing as the workers know where to concentrate their resources to best protect the animals.

45. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the project?

A. To extend elephants' habitat.       

B. To protect farms from being destroyed.

C. To make more elephants change their habits. 

D. To prevent elephants from being shot.

46. The fence mentioned in Paragraph 3 __________________________________ _.

A. can be seen by elephants          B. actually refers to the text message

C. has prevented Kimani for 50 times    D. doesn't exist in fact

47. According to the passage, the project ____________________.

A. costs just a little                       B. is carried out all by machine

C. seems to work out well                 D. is carried out across Kenya

 

SECTION B

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet

Imagine eating the dishes of 102 different countries in as many consecutive (连续的)days . That 's what Noah Galuten has done. He raced around the Southland (the name given to the are of towns and cities that surround Los Angeles county in California) for almost four months, indulging in (沉迷于)lunches, dinners and a few breakfast without a break.

Although he's not chef (厨师)，Galuten grew up around good food. His mother mainly cooked Italian food, and he recalled standing on a stool (板凳)making sauce when he was sue years old. He also cooked dinners for friends during his college years. And he had experimented and adapted food from many cultures.

Galuten's food journey began after he graduated from college. Unemployed and back in Los Angeles, he decided to try something that he had a passion for. And he hoped it would help him keep his mind off his unemployment depression.

Then he set up a blog and began his food journey. The requirement was to eat one dish at each place. After each meal, he would write a blog about the food, the cost, the environment and the company, It was indeed an incredible challenge. Sometimes Galuten searched online and contacted a friend of a friend for a restaurant tip or seeking out local food companies, he mostly dined at inexpen­sive restaurants.

His journey also used up his savings. Galuten figured that he spent about $ 11, 000 during the 102 - day experiment, including groceries, meals, gasoline, rent and other living cost. Now that he has used up all his money and is $ 4, 000 in debt, he is seriously joy 一 hunting.

But he pointed out, "I feel very happy now, although I am in debt. It's not to say that a lack of money has caused my happiness, because the feeling is not related to money at all. It* s more about doing that is important to you and sticking to what makes you happy, then making it the focus of your life."
