Elephants that destroy crops and damage trees are a serious problem in many parts of Africa. But there could be a simple and relatively safe way to stop them in their tracks， by employing the talents of the tiny African honeybee. The number of elephants in Kenya has risen over the past decade， with some disastrous results. Not only do these huge animals attack local farms， but they trample someone to death once every two weeks on average， fuelling calls for the beasts to be killed. Now a biologist has discovered a possible deterrent(威慑): the elephants are extremely careful of the trees that house honeybee hives.
“I am puzzled why nobody has thought of this before.” says Fritz Vollrath at the university of Oxford. “When an elephant knocks a beehive， the elephants run and the bees will follow them for miles.” He says that placing hives of the honeybee strategically around local farms could be an effective way to deter the animals. Vollrath put 30 unoccupied and 6 occupied beehives in some of the trees growing in a hectare of bush frequently damaged by elephants on Laikipia Plateau in Kenya. On average the elephants attacked 9 out of 10 trees that didn’t have hives， severely damaging a quarter. But they steered clear of all six trees with empty hives， suggesting that some had learnt not to take the risk.
The bees deter elephants by stinging vulnerable(易受攻击的) areas such as the eyes， belly， behind the ears and under the trunk. People could be at risk of the bees， admits Vollrath， but that may be outweighed by the risk of being killed by an elephant. Preliminary experiments by Vollrath show that elephants also avoid the sound of angry bees played from loudspeakers.
51. What is NOT a disastrous result of the numerous elephants?
A. Local farms are attacked and destroyed by the elephants.
B. The elephants often walk on parsons and cause them to death.
C. The number of the bees is increasing rapidly.
D. Many people were caused to death thanks to the numerous elephants.
52.The underlined phrase “steered clear of” can be replaced by .
A. attacked B. kept away from C. feared D. cut down
53. We can infer that ____________.

A. African people are very afraid of elephants
B. bees can be used to drive away large elephants
C. bees don’t sting people in Africa
D. sounds of bees played from loudspeaker can also frighten large elephants away
54.Whcih of the following is NOT true?
A. Bees and elephants often attack each other.
B. The trunk of an elephant is seldom stung by the bees.
C. The elephant dare not go near the beehives.
D. We should deter elephants instead of killing them.

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit of sores， restaurants and hotels， at home， across the country， and even abroad they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically， making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations， whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of uses the “cashless society” is not on the horizon—it’s already here.
While computers offer much convenience to consumers， they have many advantages for sellers， too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records， including who sold what， when， and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their lists of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can thne be made. At the same time these computers record which hours and busiest and which employees are the most efficient， allowing personnel and stalling assignments to be made accordingly. And they almost so identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize new， which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock， of raw materials on hand ， and even of the production processes itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises， from theaters to magazine publishers， from gas and electric utilities to mild processors， bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

A. obtain more convenient services than other people

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
57. The phrase “ring up sales” more probably means.
A. make an order of goods
B. record sales on a cash register
C. call the sales manager
D. keep track of the goods in stock
58.What is this passage mainly about?
A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
B. Convenience brought about by computers in business.
C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.

Patrick arrived in America a week ago. At first he thought his English learned in middle school was good enough. He was sure he could deal with any situation. He though he would call a taxi on his arrival and talk with the driver to ask about the American ways. But it was very different from his idea. He found he could hardly understand the driver， nor did the driver understand him. It seemed to him that his efforts in those years learning English had gone to waste.
Reading his mind， the driver said. “Well， don’t get worried！ Never lo
