11、t 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambiques Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the countrys civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavio
12、r expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.Poole says before the countrys 15-year-long civil war, the 100,000acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time t
13、he conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the parks tuskless elephant population has grow
14、n greatly.This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambias South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area， areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger t

A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.The recent ban on ivory in bot

However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend.1、What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?AIllegal hunting.

27、sks of both obesity and poor mental health are known to be much higher. The new study, supported by Friends of the Earth Europe (FoE), also showed that the great outdoors had benefits for pregnant women. Those living close to trees and open fields, considered a “natural healers” by the researchers a
28、t the Institute for European environmental policy, gave birth to children of much healthier sizes.It is believed that the increased opportunity to be active and breathing in less air pollution may explain the reduced death rates and obesity prevention. After reviewing hundreds of previous studies, s
29、cientists say it can even reduce the chance of an early death by 16 per cent compared to those living in an “urban jungle.” The green spaces also reduced depression（抑郁）by allowing for people to meet others more easily and get away from busy and noisy activities of a city, experts state.Robbie Blake,
30、 a campaigner for FoE, told The Guardian: “The evidence is strong and growing that people and communities can be energetic and lively when they have access to nature.“We all need nature in our lives and it gives us freedom and helps us live healthily; yet poor communities are routinely cut off from
31、nature in their surroundings and it is holding back their wellbeing.”The findings back up much evidence that shows setting up a home in a heavily-polluted city can be damaging to someones health. After studying the well-being of nearly 110,000 women, they found living in cities also increased the ri

35、as long as weve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.Recently, the F
36、ood and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agency thats responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) a for
37、m of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the pati

DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option
39、 for many leukemia patients.In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.But with a recovery rate of around 83% according to a news release published by th
40、e FDA its hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.“Were entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patients own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release.

When Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, “They are making me take all these courses.” Wozniak replied, “Yes, thats what they do in college.” Jobs refused to go to the classe
