Hunting
The days of the hunter are almost over in India．This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers, who at forest possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives（动机）.One of them wrote.
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory（领地）。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears（矛） and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger―shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so―called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
72．There is no more hunting in India now partly because___.
A．it is dangerous to hunt there
B．hunting is already out of date
C．hunters want to protect animals
D．there are few animals left to hunt
73．The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.
A．to make the countryside safe
B．to earn people’s admiration
C．to gain power and influence
D．to improve their health
74．What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A．They hunt old animals
B．They mistreat animals
C．They hunt for food
D．They hunt for money
75．What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A．Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B．Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C．Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D．Modern hunters should put their safety first

ABORIGINAL is a term used to describe the people and animals that lived in a place from the earliest known times or before Europeans arrived. Examples are the Maori in New Zealand, the Aborigines in Australia and the Indians in America. They all share the fact that they were pushed off their land by European settlers.
Maori
The Maori were the first people to go to New Zealand, about 1,000 years ago. They came from the islands of Polynesia in the Pacific. They brought dogs, rats and plants with them and settled mainly on the Northern Island. In 1769, Captain James Cook from Britain took possession of the Island and from that time British people started to settle. The Maori signed an agreement on land rights with these settlers, but in later years there were arguments and battles between them.
Aborigines
The native people of Australia came from somewhere in Asia more than 40,000 years ago. They lived by hunting and gathering. Their contact with British settlers began in 1788. By the 1940s almost all of them were mixed into Australian society as low-paid workers. Their rights were limited. In 1976 and 1993 the Australian Government passed laws that returned some land to the Aborigines and recognized their property rights.
American Indians
Long before the Europeans came to America in the 16th and 17th century, the American Indians, or Native Americans, lived there. It is believed that they came from Asia. Christopher Columbus mistook the land for India and so called the people there Indians. The white settlers and American Indians lived in peace at the beginning, but conflicts finally arose and led to the Indian Wars (1866-1890). After the wars, the Indians were driven to the west of the country. Not until 1924 did they gain the right to vote.
【小题1】The similarity among Maoris, Aborigines and American Indians is that _________.
| A．they lost their vote right after European settlers’ arrival |
| B．they lost their land after European settlers’ arrival |
| C．they were driven out of their country after European settlers’ arrival |
| D．they were not treated as citizens until recently |
| A．a miserable | B．a bitter | C．a peaceful | D．a troublesome |
| A．Maoris. | B．Aborigines. | C．American Indians. | D．Not mentioned. |
| A．the war between aboriginal people and white settlers |
| B．the history of Maoris, Aborigines and American Indians |
| C．the present unfair treatment to aboriginal people of the world |
| D．European settlers were the enemy of all aboriginal people |
