第二节 阅读理解(每小题2分，满分10分)
Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones(铃音)of COWS mooing，goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards(豹)that have wandered into human settlements，officials said on Monday.
The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food，say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people.But rather than use methods such as live bait(诱惑物)like goats tied to trees to attract the leopards，which then fall into large pits dug by guards，officials say they have found a safer method to trap the eats.
“The moos of a cow, bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat.“This trick works,”Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
At least five leopards have so far been caught from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago.The cats have all been freed back into forest areas.
Wildlife activists welcomed the new measure saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.
21.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Cell Phones to Hunt Animals B.Practical Uses of Cell Phones
C.Wildlife and New Technology D.Phone Ringtones to Catch Leopards
22.Forest guards in India try to catch leopards mainly because .
A.1eopards attack villagers B.they want leopard fur
C.1eopards attack animals D.they have new ringtones
23.According to the wildlife activists，the new method is .
A.appreciated because it benefits leopards B.not good because it may injure animals
C.effective because ringtones work D.not safer than the former one
24.We can learn from the passage EXCEPT that .
A.forest guards don’t mean to hurt the leopards
B.forest guards no longer use pits to trap leopards
C.forest guards used live animals to attract leopards
D.forest guards used recorded animal sounds to attract leopards
25.What will be needed to trap the leopards using the new method?
①cell phones ②animals ③sounds of animals ④cages ⑤large pits
A.①②③④ B.②③⑤ C.①④⑤ D.①③④
