An absolute description of the threat hanging over the world's mammals,reptiles,amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal,Nature.A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened.

Many species are already critically endangered and close to extinction,including the Sumatran elephant,Amur leopard and mountain gorilla.But also in danger of vanishing（消失）for the wild,it now appears,are animals that are currently rated as merely being endangered.

In each case,the finger of blame points directly at human activities.The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying millions of hectares of wild habitats every year,leaving animals without homes,while the introduction of newly-come species,often helped by humans,is also damaging native populations.At the same time,pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.

"Habitat destruction,pollution or overfishing either kill off wild creatures and plants or leaves them badly weakened," said Derek Tittensor,an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. "The trouble is that in coming decades,the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors."

The problem,according to Nature,is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists knowledge about the planet's biodiversity.Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million.In addition,evaluations of current rates of species' disappearances vary from 500 to 36,000 a year. "That is the real problem we face," added Tittensor. "The scale of uncertainty is huge."

In the end,however,the data indicate that the world is heading cruelly towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more.This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand,depending on extinction rates.

1.What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?

A. Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.

B. Nature is the famous journal around the world.

C. Many endangered species are close to extinction.

D. Some rare species have appeared around the world.

2.From paragraph 4 we know that another future threat is　　　　 .

A. destruction of habitats　　 B. overfishing and pollution

C. the worsening climate change　　 D. killing off wild creatures and plants

3.What is the real problem we are facing now according to paragraph 5?

A. The killing of wild creatures and cutting of trees.

B. The global warming caused by human beings.

C. The destruction of ocean ecosystem by pollution.

D. Evaluation of current rates of species' disappearances.

4.What does "This" in the last sentence refer to?

A. mass extinction.　　 B. extinction rates.

C. extinction time.　　 D. 75% of species or more.

Christmas is the biggest holiday in many countries including the US and the UK. Decorating Christmas trees, giving gifts and singing Christmas songs are just a few of the traditions that the two nations share. However, just as there are many cultural differences between the two, Christmas is not the same on both sides of the Atlantic. BBC has pointed out some differences.

According to BBC, the language of Christmas is not completely the same in the US and UK. “Americans will appear confused or chuckle(暗自笑) to themselves if you wish them ‘Happy Christmas’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas’,” BBC said. In addition, the shortening of Christmas to “Chrimbo” is almost unknown in the US. Another difference is the name of the white-bearded man. British people usually call him “Father Christmas” while Americans refer to him only as “Santa Claus” or simply “Santa”.

A good, old US Christmas dinner doesn’t necessarily（必然地）have turkey. BBC explained that Americans prepare special food for Thanksgiving, and they often go for ham or roast beef on Christmas Day. Christmas cake, and Christmas pudding are popular desserts(餐后甜点)in the UK. In the US, however, your post-meal treat will probably be one of the following: pumpkin pie, fruit cake, apple pie, or sweet potato pie.

In the US, but not in the UK, the beautiful Christmas decorations you see in films are real, and some people even turn their houses into light shows, according to BBC. “Driving through American suburbia (郊区) at Christmas can sometimes feel like a tour of Disney World,” the news network described.

1.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Christmas in the world

B. Christmas and traditions

C. The importance of Christmas

D. Christmas on both sides of the Atlantic

2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. “Chrimbo” is more widely used in the UK.

B. We’d better say “Happy Christmas” to Americans.

C. White-bearded man is usually called “Father Christmas” in the US.

D. The language of Christmas is almost the same in the US and UK.

3.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Christmas is not exactly the same in the US and UK.

B. You can see the beautiful Christmas decorations in the UK.

C. Christmas cake, pudding are popular with American people.

D. You may have apple pie or fruit cake in your post-meal in the UK.

4.Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A science magazine.　 B. A culture magazine.

C. A guide book.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. A business report.

Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.

1. Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?

A．Because they could not do it themselves.

B．Because professional workers were very cheap.

C．Because they had no time.

D．Because professional workers could do much better.

2. Thirty years later what changes took place?

A．People could do everything themselves.

B．Few people chose to be a professional worker

C．People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.

D．New expensive materials required no skills at all.

3. What caused the DIY craze?

A．Young people liked to follow the fashion.

B．“Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business.

C．There were fewer building companies.

D．High cost of professional workers.

4.What is the speaker telling us?

A．How DIY comes into being.

B．Changes in building.

C．Changes in housing.

D．Great changes in these thirty years.
