语法填空

    According to a recent study, plants are able to make intelligent decisions. They are a lot(smart) than we thought. Scientists have discovered that the pea plant can make decisions on how (survive) best, even though it does not have a brain. Researchers grew several pea plants that had their roots  (separate) between two pots. Each pot contained different amount of nutrients. One pot always had the same amountthe other pot varied between a lot and a little. The plants turned out to be (amaze) consistent(一致的)at turning their roots to the pot with the most nutrients.

    Researcher Alex Kacelnik says the experiment raises a question, not about plants about animals and humans. He wonders whether the pea plant is more efficient in using its limited resources about (make) decisions than humans. He says, “We have a very wonderful brain, but maybe most of the time we're not using ” Professor Kacelnik does not think that pea plants are intelligent in the human sense, but that they exhibit complex (behave) to efficiently take advantage of natural opportunities. It will be interesting to see how our lives would be different if we (adopt) similar strategies.

In 1990, over 100 countries signed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory, which is mainly used for jewelry. Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants. These tusks are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(terrible) valuable—one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or a factory worker in a year.

    Hunting elephants was so profitable {#blank#}3{#/blank#}from 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa fell from 1.3 million to 600,000. It was feared that by the year 2020 there would be none {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(leave). However, thanks{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the international agreement, there {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.

    But considering {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(vary) of aspects, it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants. Games wardens (看守人) must be hired to protect them. Land must be set aside for them, and when they destroy a farmer's crops, the farmer must {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pay) compensation.(赔偿金)

    Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally. This would help keep the population stable, and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants. But conservationists say that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(make) ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting. Others say {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals that feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.
