More than half of UK species have suffered declines in recent years and 15 percent are at risk of vanishing (消失), a report has warned. There is little evidence to suggest the rate of loss is slowing down.
Farming is key to what is happening,with more intensive agriculture affecting nearly half of the species studied and responsible for nearly a quarter of the total impact on wildlife. A loss of mixed farms, changes to sowing patterns,increased use of pesticides and fertilizers and a loss of habitat (栖息地)have taken their toll. The report said government farming policies had led to dramatic changes in farming practices,almost doubling wheat and milk yields since the 1970s, but often at the expense of nature by interrupting the food sources and habitats species rely on.
Climate change is also increasingly affecting UK nature although the impacts are mixed with some species spreading north or surviving better in warmer winters, but others are hit by the loss of coastal habitat, increased sea temperature and wilder weather. In the long term, global warming poses one of the greatest threats to nature around the world. Wildlife is also being hit by urban development, loss of town green areas, changes to the way land and forests are managed and over-abstraction (过度抽取)of water.
“The natural world needs our help as never before,” said naturalist and TV presenter David Attenborough. “We must work together, governments, conservationists, businesses and individuals to help it.”
The good news is that the creation of new wetland by conservation programs and the planting of new woodland, as well as wildlife-friendly farming programs, are providing habitats for struggling species. Reintroduction of species such as the pine marten (松貂)and large blue butterflies is also helping, but more needs to be done, the report said.
1.What does the underlined phrase “taken their toll” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Cost much money. B.Had bad effects.
C.Changed farming policies. D.Interrupted the food sources.
2.What is the main cause of UK species decrease?
A.The development of agriculture.
B.The over-use of water.
C.The change of climate.
D.The loss of habitats.
3.What does the author intend to tell us in the last sentence?
A.More large blue butterflies are needed in UK.
B.More should be done for the diversity of species.
C.The report sounds the alarm for the UK’s wildlife.
D.Enough measures have been taken to protect the natural world.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A poster. B.A brochure.
C.A magazine. D.A notice.

More than 4 in 10 cancers — 600,000 in the UK alone — could be prevented if people led healthier lives, say experts. The population of the UK is about 63,000,000.
Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor (因素), followed by unhealthy diets. The charity advises people to live healthily, limit alcohol intake and do regular exercise.
According to the figures from 2007 to 2011, more than 300,000 cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking. A further 145,000 were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed food. Obesity contributed to 88,000 cases and alcohol to 62,200. Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors.
Professor Max Parkin, a Cancer Research UK statistician, says, “There's now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk, with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors.”
“Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holidays so we don't want to ban beef pies and wine but it's a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits.”
“Leading a healthy lifestyle can't guarantee someone won't get cancer but we_can_stack_the_odds_in_our_favour by taking positive steps.”
Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk. It says campaigns such as Smokefree, Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness. It's important that we not only continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments, but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer.
1.Which of the following is the third biggest avoidable cancer factor?
A.Obesity. B.Alcohol intake.
C.Unhealthy diets. D.Physical inactivity.
2.According to Professor Max Parkin, ________.
A.it's OK to drink wine during festivals
B.the causes of cancer are still unclear now
C.unhealthy food should be completely banned
D.a healthy lifestyle will protect us from cancer
3.By saying the underlined words in Paragraph 6, Professor Max Parkin means we can________.
A.help others
B.improve our lives
C.discover cancer early
D.decrease our cancer risk
4.What's the main idea of the text?
A.Most cancers are caused by smoking.
B.Cancer is greatly linked to our lifestyle.
C.There are different factors that lead to cancer.
D.Public awareness should be raised to prevent cancer.

Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment.
The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.
By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period.Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds.The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鹗) and corncrake (秧鸡).All of these birds are subject to conservation action.
The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (苏格兰雷鸟).These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.
Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news.It shows just what can be achieved.What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”
Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc.However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”
The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year.The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B.The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.
C.Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.
