Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels (松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.

They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.

Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.

The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

1.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.

A.find out the living conditions for squirrels

B.learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut trees

C.do something to get rid of squirrels

D.save the forests in the American state of Indiana

2.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.

A.the way they gather the walnut

B.the time they have winter sleep

C.the place they have winter sleep

D.the place they store the walnuts

3.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.

A.red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels

B.gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights

C.nuts above the ground will not develop into plants

D.seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest

4.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A.The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.

B.Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.

C.Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.

D.The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.

More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments. Covering an area of over 4,000 square　　　 kilometers. Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest salt­water lake. Located in Northwest China's Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called“Bird Islands”．

Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai­Tibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.　 During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake.

To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997.Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.

Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds' nest­building, egg­laying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.

1.Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest salt­water lake in the Great Northwest?

A. Because it is getting warmer and warmer.　　 B. Because it is being reformed

C. Because environments there are getting more and more agreeable for them to live in.　　 D. Because the people there are becoming richer and richer

2.The birds feed on_______according to the passage.

A. floating fish and various grass

B. grass moving on the water surface and different kinds of fish

C. salt water and plenty of grains

D. corn from the local farmers

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The ice and snow covering the Qinghai­Tibet Plateau doesn't change into water, unless more than 20 kinds of birds come to the Bird Islands.

B. Flocks of birds fly up to the whole sky over islands to lay eggs.

C. Visitors can listen to the singing of birds from miles away, but they couldn't see any bird

D. “The ice on the Plateau begins to change into water” means spring is coming.

4.The officials go around the lake mainly to________.

A. let the farmers there know the animal protection law

B. tell the farmers there some knowledge about animal protection

C. call on people to love and protect the birds

D. all of the above

Some unwelcome visitors from North America have been turning up in the waters off the coast of Great Britain.

North American lobsters (龙虾) have been found in the North Sea (between Great Britain and Northwest Europe), far from their own habitat. The lobsters usually live along the eastern coast of Canada and the United States.

It is impossible that the lobsters could have made the 5,600-kilometre journey on their own. They were probably brought to Britain and then got away from containers. Some of the lobsters that were caught had elastic bands (松紧带) holding their legs shut, like lobsters that are kept in containers in stores or restaurants.

Many may have been “set free” from some ships passing through the area. Sometimes passengers order a live lobster from a tank in the dining room and then ask the waiter to throw it overboard instead of cooking it.

According to official records, 26 North American lobsters have been caught in waters off Great Britain since 1988. However, it is believed many more have been found but not reported.

It is against the law to let North American lobsters come into British waters. If they settle down in European waters, it would be bad for the local lobsters. The two live in the same place and eat the same food. But North American lobsters are larger, stronger and more aggressive (好斗的) than European lobsters, and they produce young more quickly.

As a result, they could take food and space away from the local lobsters, and from other types of shellfish that live in the same area. These lobsters may also carry diseases that could harm the local lobsters.

1.Those unwelcome lobsters _____.

A. could travel 5,600 km a day on their own

B. used to live in waters off Great Britain

C. would soon disappear in British waters

D. might have escaped on the way to Britain

2.What can we learn about European lobsters?

A. They are growing too fast to be kept under control.

B. Shellfish often take away their food and space.

C. They are easily harmed by North American lobsters.

D. People become ill easily if they eat these lobsters.

3.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.

A. discuss　　 B. report

C. advertise　　 D. introduce
