　　(2024·鹽城模擬)The largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2024 and 2024 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting site for seabirds.

　　It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia. ” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.

　　South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, pigs, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.

　　South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carded out in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.

　　“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology. ” says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific. ”

　　The second and third stages in 2024 and 2024 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do it in winter but the weather makes that too risky, ” Martin says.

　　The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says. “The full benefits will take decades to arrive，because some of these birds are very slow to hatch. ”(370W)

　　C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.

　　D. He made great contributions to the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island.

　　3. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to be carried out in autumn because ______.

　　A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn

　　B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have spare time

　　C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife

　　D. the poison kills the rats more effectively than it does in any other season

　　As China comes down from a travel rush during the combined eight-day holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day of 2024, experts called for a return of the Labor Day Golden Week holiday as a way to ease the travel peak.

　　By Friday, 79 million passengers were estimated to have used the railways up about 8 percent over last year. Waterways had shipped around 2 million, an increase of about 17 percent on last year, Cntv. cn, the website of China Central Television, said on Saturday.

　　As large numbers of tourists swarmed scenic spots around China, it caused huge crowds and numerous complaints.

　　The Forbidden City in Beijing has long been a big draw for travelers. On Tuesday alone, the museum reported, it received more than 180, 000 visitors, about six times higher than a regular day. According to China Central Television, restless visitors demanded their money back from the tourism committee, and police were sent to help deal with the crisis.

　　The Beijing-HongKong-Macao expressway, the Shanghai-Kunming expressway and the route from Beijing to Kunming saw large increases in traffic on Saturday, according to Cntv. cn.

　　As there is only one long holiday in the country and paid leave is not well carried out by employers, people have limited chances for travel, Dai Bin, the director of China Tourism Academy, said in a report by Beijing Times on Saturday.

　　The travel rush during the “Golden Week” holidays happens because people do not take long journeys during shorter holidays, said Liu Simin, a researcher with the China Academy of Social Sciences, in a report by Beijing Times on Saturday.

　　Liu said that now the most important task is to release the pressure from the huge numbers of tourists. When the Labor Day Golden Week holiday was abolished in 2007, a chance to travel was reduced.

　　In 2008, the government shortened the Labor Day Golden Week holiday, usually occurring from May 1 to May 7, to three days and added three other short vacations to the list. (333W)

　　5. Why does the travel rush during the “Golden Week” holidays happen?
