At least 200 elephants have died in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe in the past two months due to a serious drought (干旱) in the country. National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spokesman Tinashe Farawo told The Associated Press. Other animals, including giraffes, zebras , hippos and buffaloes are also dying due to the drought."The situation cannot improve until it rains, "Farawo said.

"Almost every animal is being affected," Farawo said. "Of course, elephants are easily noticed, but some bird species are seriously affected because they can only breed (繁殖) in certain tree heights and those trees are being knocked down by elephants."

"In a desperate attempt to locate food and water, animals have come in the park and nearby communities, threatening human populations as well. Thirty-three people have died because of these animals this year," the park said.

"Six hundred elephants and two lion prides will be moved to less crowded parks. A pack of wild dogs, 50 buffaloes, 40 giraffes and 2,000 impalas will also be relocated, " Farawo said.

"The animals have exceeded their ecological carrying capacity (生态承载力)," he added."If the populations go unchecked, the animals will threaten the very ecosystem they depend on for survival."

Typically, park leaders follow a policy of not intervening (干预) to help the animals , but the hard conditions have persuaded them otherwise. Fearing more deaths before the rainy season, they have started bringing in food to help the animals, which usually rely on natural vegetation.

"We used to say nature should take its course,"said wildlife officer Munyaradzi Dzoro."We are now forced to intervene. We are not sure when and how we will receive the rain. To avoid losing animals, we have to intervene to maintain population sizes.

In addition to a lack of food and water, muddy ponds have turned into death traps for the animals. Many have gotten stuck in the clay (泥土) while attempting to reach Long Pool, the park's largest watering hole, which has shrunk to 5% of its normal size, the Associated Press reports.

The drought has affected an estimated 11 million people, according to the World Food Program, which is planning large-scale food distribution.

1.Why are some bird species being affected?

A.They can't find enough food and water.

B.They lose many proper breeding places.

C.They are often killed by big land animals.

D.They become ill easily because of other animals' death.

2.What measure will be taken to improve the serious situation?

A.Building fences between the park and nearby communities.

B.Killing the animals which went into human communities.

C.Providing enough water for the animals in the park.

D.Moving some animals to less crowded places.

3.What did Farawo think is the basis for the survival of animals?

A.A healthy ecosystem. B.A policy of not intervening.

C.Large populations of animals. D.Limited ecological carrying capacity.

4.Muddy ponds have become deadly to the animals because_________.

A.their clay is very attractive B.much of their water is gone

C.they have become much deeper D.there is much food in their water

In the past two decades，the Chinese economy has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market.These reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens.Now，researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) have found about 30 percent of Chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit card adoption has been an average of 40 percent per year between 2004 and 2009.

Rui Yao，an assistant professor of personal financial planning at MU，says that this large growth in such a small amount of time has positive and negative implications for the Chinese economy.

''With more and more people taking advantage of credit cards in China，it certainly increases potential consumer buying　 power，''Yao said.'' However，we found that more than 90　 percent of credit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60 percent had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt.This lack of knowledge could create problems as credit card ownership is expected to grow at a rate of 11 percent a year. ''

Yao found that while 72 percent of Chinese credit card　 holders were never late on their payment，only 55 percent were　 able to pay the full balance.She also found that 70 percent of Chinese credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending.

Yao believes the Chinese could benefit from financial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the Chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is important for the Chinese economy. ''Appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases'' Yao said.

1.Why did China allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens?

A.To increase Chinese citizens’ confidence in economy.

B.To respond to the urgent demand for financial reforms.

C.To improve competitiveness in the international market.

D.To persuade more Chinese citizens to accept credit cards.

2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A.The potential market purchases in the future.

B.Weaknesses caused by lack of knowledge of credit cards.

C.The rapid growth in credit card ownership.

D.Advantages and disadvantages of using credit cards.

3.A lot of figures are used in the text in order to________.

A.record the valuable data B.provide concrete evidence

C.introduce a research method D.give a detailed description

4.The underlined word ''spur'' in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ''________''.

A.control B.delay

C.promote D.discourage
