第一部分　閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（滿分30分）閱讀下列的短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）項中選出最佳選項．

• 1．Animal conservationMany animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger．Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit（居?。﹊s now more important than ever．
  Dodos
  
  The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology．The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean．It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505．The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the Island by humans such as pigs，monkeys and rats．The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681．
  Rhinos
  
  The Rhino（犀牛）horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine．This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat．Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia，most Rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves（保護區(qū)）．Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years，and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷襲者）．
  The Giant Panda
  
  The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain．As few as 1，600 pandas remain in the wild．The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison．However，the panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animal's continued existence．
  Whales
  
  The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species．Despite the fact that one-third of the world's oceans have been declared the whale sanctuaries（保護區(qū)）.7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered．Hunted for their rich supply of oil，their numbers have decreased to just 300．Collisions with ships，poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths．
  Tigers
  
  The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5，000 and 7，000 and The Bali，Javan，and Caspian tigers are already extinct．The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing，with only 20 to 30 still alive．Like the Rhino horn，tigers' bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines．These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins．

  ．
  A．the Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals
  B．sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo

• 2．George was a game warden（獵物繁殖和保護區(qū)的管理員）in Kenya．One day，he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness．They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened．Sadly，he took the three little lions and drove back home．
  When George got out of the car with the baby lions，his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over．Joy had cared for many young animals over the years，but she had never tried to raise baby lions！However，she was determined to save these babies．
  The lions grew rapidly．But as the lion grew bigger and stronger，Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions．They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo；they would keep the smallest lion，which they named Elsa．
  Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself．Elsa liked to play with her human friends，but as Elsa grew to her adult size，this play became dangerous．More than once，Elsa knocked Joy to the ground，scratching（抓傷） her．Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home．They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead．Finally，Joy and George decide to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt Kenya．
  Elsa never forgot Joy and George．Whenever they camped nearby，Elsa would come to visit，rubbing her head against their legs in greeting．
  Joy missed Elsa，but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion．Joy wrote a book about Elsa，Born Free，which became an international bestseller．Joy travelled all over the world，talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world．
  Joy lived out her life in Africa，working with wild animals．She wrote more books about her experiences．Her heartfelt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire （激發(fā)） a worldwide movement to protect wildlife．For Joy Adamson，there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals，living free．

• 3．In the past，man did not have to think about the protection of his environment．There were few people on the earth，and natural resources seemed to be unlimited．Today things are different．The world has become too crowded．We are using up our natural resources too quickly，and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals．If we continue to do this，human life on the earth will not survive．
  Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea，there will soon be none left．Yet，with modern fishing methods，more and more fish are caught．We know that if too many trees are cut down，forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land．Yet，we continue to cut down more and more trees．We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste from factories，we will die．However，in most countries waste is still put into the rivers or the seas and there are few laws to stop this．We know，too，that if the population of the countries is rising at the present rate，in a few years，there will not be enough food．What can we do to solve these problems？
  If we eat more vegetables and less meat，there will be more food for everyone．Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept．
  Finally，if we educate people to think about the problems，we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future．

  Like most of my schoolmates，I have either brothers nor sisters；in another words，I am an only child．My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education．They did not want me to do any work at family；they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I'll get good marks in all my subjects．We may be one family and live under a same roof，but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together．It looks as if my parents treat her as a visitor and a guest．Do they really understand their own daughter？What things are in other homes，I wonder．
