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.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK. The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen. I’ve since learnt that accents change almost every five miles. As far as America goes. I can tell the West Coast from the East or the South, but I can’t tell you a state, much less a county (郡).
The next thing I couldn’t imagine was the quiet, stare-ahead norm of public transportation- if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you’re probably a serial killer or a lost tourist.
I’ve had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more times and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time I’ve had someone walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English. In America, at least from what I’ve experienced, people will start a chat if they see you’re travelling by yourself, and I always immediately have someone taller offer to put my things in an overhead bin (行李箱).
Opening hours-especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much to get used to. In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores. petrol stations, etc. are the norm. In my first year in the UK,I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and went into town at 2:00 pm. Imagine my surprise when 1 found the city center was deserted, and there wasn’t a single car at Tesco. Approaching the building, I saw a large sign announcing opening times. I had to make do with plain bread until 9:00 am Monday, when I’d be able to pay for groceries again.
Speaking of groceries, it took so many people telling me I was crazy to convince me to eat eggs here- they’re not refrigerated, and they’ll often have bits of feather or chicken waste on the outside. 1 am now aware that they ‘re safe, but coming from a childhood of perfectly clean, white, large AAA eggs, I was convinced I’d die a terrible salmonella (沙门氏菌) death.
1.What’s the author’s impression of the transportation of the UK?
A.It’s very dangerous to use public transportations.
B.It’s easy for a tourist 10 get lost on public transportations.
C.British people willingly offer help on public transportations.
D.British people don’t talk to each other on public transportations.
2.What happened on Easter Sunday in the author’s first year in the UK?
A.He left the city center. B.He failed to buy any food.
C.A supermarket closed down. D.A restaurant opened in a tall building.
3.What is a good suggestion to a foreigner in the UK?
A.Try to speak like the queen.
B.Avoid eating unhealthy eggs.
C.Store some plain bread in the fridge.
D.Pay attention to the opening hours of the shops.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.How to Get Used to Life in the UK
B.What do I Find Strange about the UK
C.How Difficult It Is to Travel in the UK
D.What Can a Foreigner Expect in the UK
