25、but little is known about its American inventor, Elizabeth Magie, and the philosophy behind her invention.Born in 1866, Magie was a rebel against the norms and politics of her times. Inspired by Henry George who believed that all men should have an equal right to use the land as they have to breathe

26、 air, she challenged the capitalist system of property ownership in the form of a board game. In 1904, she patented her Landlords Game, which consisted of a circuit of streets and landmarks for sale.Magies game contained two sets of rules: The Prosperity rules and the Monopolist rules. The Prosperit

27、y rules stated that every player should gain each time someone acquired a new property. The game was won (by all!) when the player starting with the least money doubled his or her fortune. Under Monopolist rules, on the other hand, each player advanced by acquiring properties and collecting rent fro

28、m all who landed there later. Whoever managed to bankrupt the other players won the game. The purpose of the dual sets of rules, said Magie, was for players to understand how these different approaches to property can lead to different social outcomes: “all win” or “win all.”The game soon became a h

29、it on college campuses and among Quaker communities, and some people modified the game board. An unemployed player named Charles Darrow sold this modified version to the manufacturer Parker Brothers as his own. However, when the games true origin came to light, Parker Brothers bought the patent from

30、 Magie for only $500. They then re-launched the game as Monopoly, including only the rules leading to the triumph of one over all. Darrow was publicized as the inventor who had become a millionaire from selling the game. Thus a rags-to-riches myth was created, ironically exemplifying Monopolys impli

34、owing would best describe Magies feelings toward todays version of her game?A. Excited.B. Relieved.C. Doubtful.D.

35、ris Biro, a globally recognized free-fight trainer, which included documenting Biros training process step by step so that conservationists can apply his methods when releasing birds into the wild.Biro has trained 400 students on how to free-fly their birds, but his process was only captured by vide

36、o previously.“We have colleagues raising and releasing birds, but their main objective is conservation and they have no chance to write up a lot of the science,” Brightsmith said. “A & Ms role in this project is to ensure this information gets put into a format so others can read, criticize, use and

37、 improve it. If information hasnt made it into scientific literature, its not improving future parrot (鹦鹉) conservation.”Woodman and Biro spent years training three flocks (群) of multiple parrot species using Biros techniques, thoroughly documenting every step. These 37 birds, which collectively spe

38、nt 500 months in free-flight, were hand-raised from chicks to build a strong bond with the trainer before being gradually taught new commands and introduced to increasingly complex environments to learn the skills necessary to safely fly in open, uncontrolled areas. They learned to recognize and eve

39、n frighten natural enemies, and avoid unsafe situations.Traditionally, attempting to release hand-raised parrots has resulted in birds that show little fear of humans, increasing their chances of being trapped by hunters. Biro used a “kernel flock”, human-socialized birds trained in free-light, to t

40、each survival behaviors to other parrots. This technique being applied to establishing new bird flocks in the wild allows conservationists to release wild birds without having to train them themselves, cutting the difference when human socialization is not desirable in wild birds.After the “kernel f

41、lock” trains the non-socialized birds, it could be recalled and moved to another location, leaving behind a well-established settlement of wild parrots.“The work weve donespending years working with a group to learn how they do what they do and then translating that into something useful for scienti

43、amiliar with their behavior.B. Establishing emotional ties with them.C. Instructing them to follow commands.D. Teaching them to identify natural dangers.14. Whats the point of using a “kernel flock” in wild birds?A. It prevents them settling in open space.B. It allows them to socialize with humans.C

44、. It frees people from training them in person.D. It guarantees consistent intervention in them.15. According to Woodman, what can they offer to scientists in parrot conservation?A. Lessons of failure.B. Valuable references.C. Global cases of reintroduction.D. Advanced evaluation systems.第二节 (共5小题;每
