More than 40% of the insects around us could become extinct in next few decades. Simultaneously, the population of the adaptable and general species like that of houseflies, cockroaches and fleas is likely to bloom.

Although some species of insects are vectors (带菌者)of serious diseases, or others destroy crop, but a world without insects is inconceivable. Their importance in interconnected ecosystems and food chains can never be undermined. Insects have essential roles in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems as herbivores, carnivores and decomposers.

There are 17 times as many insects as humans, and these numbers are essential for proper functioning of all ecosystems. Insects are responsible for pollinating around 75% of the crops in the world and also serve as food for other creatures. They replenish soils and keep the number of pests in check.

The primary cause of this extinction is loss of habitat. Be it the grasslands or wetlands, everything is vanishing in man's quest towards intensive agriculture and urbanization.

Another cause of this decline is the excessive use of pesticides, fertilizers and introduced invasive species. As if this wasn't enough, climate change and pollution of all sorts have already started worsening their lives. Climate change may also cause emergence of new pests and other vector-borne insects.

The biggest threat of Insect Armageddon comes from Germany, where 75% of insect population have declined in just 30 years and from Puerto Rico, where due to 2 degree rise in temperature, there has been 60 fold decline in invertebrate (无脊椎的)population since the 1970s.

However, the fact that insects getting extinct is a global crisis is undisputed. But the neat thing about insects is, we all can do our bit to save them. We all can maintain pesticide-free kitchen gardens and organic farms. We can plant flowers and trees and invite them to nest again.

Maybe this tragedy would have never arisen in the first place and you would not have to read this article, if the world had stopped using all kinds of pesticides immediately after Rachel Carson had published the Silent Spring. Conserving the insect biodiversity is not our responsibility. It is a necessity because if they go, so will we.

1.Why can't we stand a world without insects?

A.For their parts in global ecology.

B.For their longer history than humans'.

C.For their shockingly large population.

D.For the appearance of new insect species.

2.What does the underlined word '"undisputed" in Paragraph 7 mean?

A.Possible. B.Doubtless

C.Exact D.Flexible.

3.Which of the following may best explain the extinction of insect species?

A.Climate change.

B.Human activities.

C.The abuse of chemicals.

D.The agriculture.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A.Calling on us to do something to save insects.

B.Introducing the urgent situation insects are facing.

C.Presenting us ways to handle the global crises.

D.Treating differently beneficial and harmful insects.

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U.S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools，it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities，where mathematics，science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an art degree.

Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that makes success，such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation(隔离). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

1.With making outstanding achievements at college，Asian- American students ________.

A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English

B.are afraid that their academic successes are not recognized

C.still worry about unfair treatment in society for their origin

D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents

2.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?

A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.

B.Hard work and intelligence.

C.Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.

D.Asian culture and the American educational system.

3.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.

A.their English is not good enough

B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures

D.they know little about American culture and society

4.Why do “both explanations” (Para.3) worry Asian Americans?

A.They are afraid that they would again be separated from American society.

B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.

C.Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.

D.Americans fear the academic achievements made by Asian Americans.

5.Before 1952 in America，________.

D.immigrants from East and Southeast Asia were looked down upon
