In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are needed to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and in the surrounding fields.The project is started by an environmental protection organisation, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals.Recently, the organisation has asked volunteers to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organisation, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies.The project officer Sarah Marshall says, “It will be a suitable habitat for butterflies.They are great ‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by weather changes, so they make an early warning system for the environment.”
The organisation is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September.They will walk a fixed way and record the different butterflies they meet along the way.Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife.
No experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but an interest is important.If you are interested, please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext.278, email sarah@***.org.

B
Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its land-based insects over the past 30 years.
The finding comes from a major study of insect populations worldwide.The researchers noted the loss of such insects suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown.
Ants, bees, butterflies and other land-based insects have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so.
“Ongoing decline (减少) on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans,” Nick Haddad, an expert on butterflies, said.He noted that insects move pollen (花粉) from one part of the flower of a plant to another part.This causes the plant to produce fruit or seeds.Insects also help to break down dead plants and animals.
Van Klink, who was the lead author of the report, added that insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to all Earth’s ecosystems.“But at the same time, insects transmit terrible diseases like malaria, Zika and West Nile virus, and they eat our crops and damage trees,” he said.
Some estimates show that land-based insects would face a population drop of 24 percent over the next 30 years.Freshwater insects would experience a 38 percent increase over the same period.
Van Klink noted that the big international losses seem to be around cities and surrounding areas as well as cropland, where insects are losing their food and habitat.Van Klink did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects.But he did note the widespread effects of growing cities and loss of undeveloped areas to agriculture.
(　A　)5.What is the rate of the loss of land-based insects every year
A.Under one percent.
B.About two percent.
C.About nine percent.
D.About ten percent.
(　A　)6.What did Nick Haddad stress in Paragraph 4
A.The benefits of insects.
B.The harm of insect decline.
C.The speed of insect decline.
D.The importance of ecological systems.
(　B　)7.What’s Van Klink’s attitude towards insects
A.Negative. B.Objective.
C.Favourable. D.Ambiguous.
(　C　)8.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A.Most insects have died underground.
B.Climate change leads to insect decline.
C.The quality of fresh water is being improved.
D.Most insects have died in undeveloped areas.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界范围内陆生昆虫的数量一直在减少,并探究了昆虫对环境及人类的意义。
5.A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ants…have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so.”可知,陆地上的昆虫数量每十年减少百分之九,也就是说每年减少不到百分之一。
6.A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,Nick Haddad主要强调了昆虫给环境及人类带来的各种好处,虽然提到了昆虫减少的危害,但没有具体展开说明。
7.B　【解析】 观点态度题。根据第五段内容可知,Van Klink既指出了昆虫给人类带来的好处,同时也指出了昆虫带来的问题和弊端。由此可知,Van Klink对昆虫的态度是客观公正的。
8.C　【解析】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Freshwater insects would experience a 38 percent increase over the same period.”及最后一段内容可知,昆虫数量的减少主要发生在城市周边,是缺少食物和生存环境遭到破坏所致;而生活在淡水周围的昆虫数量却一直在增加,由此推知,淡水的质量在改善。

Animal Rights

Whether we admit it or not, it’s a prejudice to think we are 　13　 to animals and that it is our right to control them, which can only make people act mean, hateful or neglectful.However, each of us has within us the power to 　14　.We can adopt a different attitude, one that reshapes our destiny.This will have wonderful effects on the planet’s other communities, for life is 　15　 avoiding suffering.It is interacting, singing, pursuing joy.We humans can learn to live responsibly, with respect, kindness and love.

How Not to Annoy Wild
Animals at National Parks
National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their natural habitat.However, as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases, humans and animals too often find themselves close in the distance.　1　
Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild.Wild animals can be unpredictable, and in national parks and many state parks, they are not contained.　2　 Never think that it is safe to approach them.
　3　 Stop by the visitor’s centre and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect.The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife.So, if you see the warning signs, take care.
Make sure you give animals space.The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife, and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears.　4　 If you’re out hiking and you encounter wildlife, stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level.If your thumb covers the entire animal, you’re a safe distance away from that animal.
Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won’t hurt.　5　 Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting bitten.Moreover, people’s food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren’t a threat.This becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that results in people getting too close and getting hurt.Wild animals have all they need to eat in their environment.
A.But don’t do it.
B.You can follow the “rule of thumb”.
C.In national parks, there are warning signs everywhere.
D.At certain times of the year, wildlife can be more lovely.
E.So it’s important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe.
F.In another word, they go anywhere within the park as long as they please.
G.You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today, they are extinct because of human behaviour.Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.
De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults, they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand, they could cause the death of other animals.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds (渡渡鸟).This will provide a good deal of money for zoos which are busy with extinct species restoration(恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So, it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.
(　A　)1.In the 19th century, passenger pigeons 　　　.
A.were common sightings
B.suffered a lot from storms
C.lived mainly in North America
D.were the largest in American history
(　C　)2.What do we know about de-extinction
A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C.It is difficult to carry out.
D.It proved to be useful.
(　C　)3.How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction
A.Wrong.
B.Difficult.
C.Important.
D.Wasteful.

1.A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.”可知,19世纪时旅鸽很常见。
2.C　【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The process of de-extinction is not easy.”及接下来具体介绍使灭绝物种复活的复杂过程可知,复活灭绝物种绝非易事。
3.C　【解析】 观点态度题。根据第五段中的“He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.”并结合Stuart Brand在最后一段具体陈述复活灭绝物种的好处可知,他认为复活灭绝物种很重要。

Endangered Species
An endangered species is a group of animals or plants that could soon become extinct.　1　 Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them.There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat loss is the main factor.And this happens in two ways.When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing for them to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms.　2　 Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms result in the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
　3　 Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport.Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
　4　 We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial punishment.The public can help out by refusing to buy any product made from these animals’ body parts.Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species.They can also provide funding for animal reserves, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild.　5　
A.Our recent measures, however, have helped to improve the situation.
B.Eventually, all the creatures on the earth will enjoy being together.
C.Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.
D.Animals’ homes are also destroyed because of pollution.
E.Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
F.If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.
G.So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species

2.D　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文中的“Habitat loss is the main factor.”可知,本段主要介绍的是动物栖息地被破坏的原因,再结合下文中的“Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms result in the destruction of animals’ homes and supplies.”可知,空格处会提到污染对动物栖息地的破坏,选项D“动物的家园也因污染而被毁”引起下文,符合语境。
3.C　【解析】 考查段落大意。根据下文可知,本段主要讲述了人类的过度捕杀是造成物种濒危的原因之一,选项C“濒危物种也是狩猎和捕鱼的结果”能够概括本段段落大意。
4.G　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“We should take care not to…”“The public can help out by…”及“Governments can help, too, by…”可知,本段主要讲的是个人和政府可以做些什么来保护濒危物种,选项G“那么,个人和政府可以做些什么来保护濒危物种呢 ”以提问题的形式引出下文,符合语境。
5.F　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到个人和政府为了保护濒危物种可以采取的措施,空格处会提到如果我们采取这些措施,会带来什么样的成果,选项F“如果我们大家合作并采取这些措施,我们将为子孙后代保护这些动物”承接上文,符合语境。

In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are needed to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and in the surrounding fields.The project is started by an environmental protection organisation, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals.Recently, the organisation has asked volunteers to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organisation, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies.The project officer Sarah Marshall says, “It will be a suitable habitat for butterflies.They are great ‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by weather changes, so they make an early warning system for the environment.”
The organisation is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September.They will walk a fixed way and record the different butterflies they meet along the way.Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife.
No experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but an interest is important.If you are interested, please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext.278, email sarah@***.org.

Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its land-based insects over the past 30 years.
The finding comes from a major study of insect populations worldwide.The researchers noted the loss of such insects suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown.
Ants, bees, butterflies and other land-based insects have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so.
“Ongoing decline (减少) on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans,” Nick Haddad, an expert on butterflies, said.He noted that insects move pollen (花粉) from one part of the flower of a plant to another part.This causes the plant to produce fruit or seeds.Insects also help to break down dead plants and animals.
Van Klink, who was the lead author of the report, added that insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to all Earth’s ecosystems.“But at the same time, insects transmit terrible diseases like malaria, Zika and West Nile virus, and they eat our crops and damage trees,” he said.
Some estimates show that land-based insects would face a population drop of 24 percent over the next 30 years.Freshwater insects would experience a 38 percent increase over the same period.
Van Klink noted that the big international losses seem to be around cities and surrounding areas as well as cropland, where insects are losing their food and habitat.Van Klink did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects.But he did note the widespread effects of growing cities and loss of undeveloped areas to agriculture.
( )5.What is the rate of the loss of land-based insects every year
A.Under one percent.
B.About two percent.
C.About nine percent.

How Not to Annoy Wild
Animals at National Parks
National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their natural habitat.However, as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases, humans and animals too often find themselves close in the distance.　1　
Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild.Wild animals can be unpredictable, and in national parks and many state parks, they are not contained.　2　 Never think that it is safe to approach them.
　3　 Stop by the visitor’s centre and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect.The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife.So, if you see the warning signs, take care.
Make sure you give animals space.The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife, and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears.　4　 If you’re out hiking and you encounter wildlife, stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level.If your thumb covers the entire animal, you’re a safe distance away from that animal.
Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won’t hurt.　5　 Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting bitten.Moreover, people’s food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren’t a threat.This becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that results in people getting too close and getting hurt.Wild animals have all they need to eat in their environment.
A.But don’t do it.
B.You can follow the “rule of thumb”.
C.In national parks, there are warning signs everywhere.
D.At certain times of the year, wildlife can be more lovely.
E.So it’s important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe.
F.In another word, they go anywhere within the park as long as they please.
G.You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground.

Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today, they are extinct because of human behaviour.Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.
De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults, they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand, they could cause the death of other animals.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds (渡渡鸟).This will provide a good deal of money for zoos which are busy with extinct species restoration(恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So, it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.

Endangered Species
An endangered species is a group of animals or plants that could soon become extinct.　1　 Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them.There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat loss is the main factor.And this happens in two ways.When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing for them to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms.　2　 Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms result in the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
　3　 Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport.Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
　4　 We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial punishment.The public can help out by refusing to buy any product made from these animals’ body parts.Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species.They can also provide funding for animal reserves, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild.　5　
A.Our recent measures, however, have helped to improve the situation.
B.Eventually, all the creatures on the earth will enjoy being together.
C.Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.
D.Animals’ homes are also destroyed because of pollution.
E.Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
F.If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.
G.So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species
