Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals’ survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.
Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal”in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing? And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild?
In a research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing are large mammals living on land. Coming in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn’t realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is paradoxical that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.
The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual(虚拟的) population” of the animals in peoples’ minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,” Courchamp says. It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company’s mascot(吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point, Courchamp says. But not enough companies are “truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on,” he adds.
39. It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture ______.
A. leads people to forget the less appealing animals
B. makes a false impression of the animals’ real situation
C. raises people’s wildlife protection attention and efforts
D. brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies
40. What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A. It is important to protect these endangered species.
B. It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive.
C. It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.
D. It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behaviors.
41. Courchamp lists the companies’ responsibilities and their advantages by .
A. giving examples B. making definition
C. making comparisons D. using numbers
42. What’s Courchamp’s attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive.
C. Dissatisfied. D. Positive.

King Tut, Egypt's famous boy king, was buried with many valuable objects. A dagger (匕首)discovered in his tomb has recently attracted extra attention. Researchers have concluded that the dagger was probably made from a special material.
King Tut was only about nine years old when he became ruler of Egypt more than 3, 300 years ago. The young king died when he was just 19, His body was buried in a tomb filled with objects that people believed he would need in the afterlife.
In 1922, Howard Carter discovered Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Up to now, it was the best preserved ancient Egyptian tomb ever found. In 1925, Carter found the dagger which has a gold handle and an iron blade (刀片).The blade had confused experts because iron was hardly used at that time in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was so rare that it was considered more valuable than gold. Where did the iron for the blade come from?
Around the time of King Tut, ancient Egyptians started using a new word for iron that translates as “iron from the sky”. This led some experts to believe that the iron for the blade came from a meteorite (陨石).But studies of the dagger carried out in the 1970s and 1990s didn't support that idea.
That's where modern technology comes in. Researchers used a new technique to examine the blade. They discovered that it was made up of iron and other materials found in meteorites. After comparing it to several meteorites, they even found its possible match — a meteorite that landed in northern Egypt thousands of years ago.
Scientists hope the new study will lead to more discoveries about other ancient Egyptian relics, “It would be very interesting to analyze more Pre-iron Age objects and we could gain precious discoveries.” Daniela Comelli, who is a professor, said.
43. What do we know about Tut's tomb?
A. It was built when he was 9. B. It was perfectly kept when discovered.
C. It has a lot of iron objects in it. D. It was the first tomb to be found.
44. Scientists paid extra attention to the dagger because________.
A. it is King Tut's favorite object B. its blade is made of iron
C. it was more valuable than gold D. it leads to more discoveries
45. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The iron. B. The material.
C. A meteorite. D. The blade.
46. The researchers used modern technology to show_______.
A. more valuable objects are hidden in the tombs
B. iron is widely used in ancient Egypt
C. ancient Egyptian objects are excellent
D. Tut's dagger was likely made from a meteorite
