John Patterson,a hunter and a British Colonel,was one of the first to document manelessness in Tsavo’s famous man since,naturalists have developed evolutionary researchers suggested that lions lost their manes because they were caught too many times in Tsavo’s thorn bushes argued that Tsavo’s aggressive lions have unusually high testosterone( 雄激素 )levels,known to cause male pattern baldness(禿頂 )in others supposed that Tsavo’s lions were a distinct group or were a related to a lion pictured in prehistoric caves,which no longer existed. But expert Thomas Gnoske at the Field Museum in Chicago,Illinois,considered something these researchers didn’t:lions shipped to zoos in cooler climates grow longer made him wonder whether hot temperatures account for Tsavo’s thinning find out,Gnoske and his colleagues studied museum records and conducted 10 years of fieldwork in Tsavo and in the Serengeti,which is about 10 degrees an article published online this month in the Journal of Zoology,the team reports that lions in the Serengeti grow a full mane in 5 years— by the time they’re ready to breed — but that Tsavo’s lions don’t have much of mane until age 8,well past their reproductive period. Gnoske thinks smaller manes improve a young,energetic lion’s ability to keep manes probably evolved to attract females in cooler climates where heat stress was not an issue,Gnoske says,and lions can’t just tur n off that program,now that they’re in a place like Tsavo.“They’re hard wired to grow a mane,and they’ll develop as large a mane as they possibly can.” Scientist Roland Kays of the New York State Museum in Albany says he is surprised by the delay in mane ,he expresses concern about the accuracy of using field observations to judge the age of Tsavo says his team is now focusing its research on Tsavo lions with known birth dates,but it will be a challenge to keep track of the wideranging animals through maturity,especially since radio collars are prohibited in Tsavo’s national parks. does the passage mainly talk about? on relationships between lions and climates. on why the male lion lost its mane. of lions in Tsavo and Serengeti. ways of studying manelessness of male lions. 答案 :B 解析 :細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 did fieldwork in Serengeti mainly because . has a much lower temperature in Serengeti grow a full mane in 5 years is easier to make sure of the accuracy of field observation in Serengeti grow a full mane when they are ready to breed 答案 :A 解析 :細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 part of a magazine do you suppose this passage is taken from? . . . . 答案 :B 解析 :推理判斷題。 underlined words “that program” (Paragraph 4)most probably refer to . observed in field up and having babies caught in thorn bushes manes to attract females
