IV.Reading Comprehension(阅读理解C 71-75)

If your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist? The idea might sound like a joke to you, but some people have been taking animal art very seriously.

In 1995, two Russian-American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the

troubles of elephants in Thailand. Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry to move wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. When the forests of Thailand began to slowly disappear, the government put a stop to logging. All of a sudden, there were many elephants who no longer had a way to make a living. There were once tens of thousands of elephants living in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand. Komar and Melamid knew that something had to be done to help the elephants. They came up with an idea that would forever change the way people regarded Thai elephants. Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand where they began to show the mahouts who trained elephants how to teach them to paint. At first, the mahout has to guide the elephant’s trunk. The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practice—and lots of sweet snacks—and finally started to paint on their own. The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had to save the elephants actually began to work. They helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries. The elephants and their mahouts go there to learn about painting and to get the supplies they need. Today people buy elephant artwork from galleries all around the world. Some are even willing to pay more than $2,000 for the work of the elephant artists!

Questions 71—75: Answer the questions according to the passage.

71．Why did many elephants no longer have a way to make a living?

72．About how many elephants are there in Thailand today?

73．What do the mahouts do in Thailand?

74．Where does the elephant artwork in the galleries come from?

75．What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

VI. Error Correction (短文改错) (共10处错误；每处错误1分，计10分) Correct the errors in the passage according to the following requirements. First, you have to decide whether there’s an error or not in the line which is numbered. If there’s no error, put the sign “√” in the corresponding line on the right. If there’s an error, correct it in the following ways: for an unnecessary word, cross out the unnecessary word with the sign “\” and put the word with the sign “\” in the line on the right; for a missing word, mark the posi tion of the missing word with the sign “∧” and write the word you believe to be missing in the line on the right; for a wrong word, underline the wrong word and write the correct one in the line on the right. Notes: Don’t make any correction if there’s no error in the line. 按要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上画一个勾（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：该行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉，在该行右边的横线上写出该词，并也用斜线（\）划掉。该行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），在该行右边横线上写出该词。该行错一个词：在错词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。注意：原行没有错的不要改。
