• 2．A duck is causing curiosity and thinking since its appearance recently in New York's Central Park.It's even gained the nickname as "New York's most eligible bachelor（單身漢）".
     People gather at the Pond in New York's Central Park to enjoy the rare appearance of a male Mandarin Duck，a water body at the southeast corner of Central Park，just to have a look at the male Mandarin duck，a brightly-colored bird originated in East Asia.The ducks are commonly found in China，Japan and occasionally some parts of Europe，rather than North America.
     Barrett and his fellow birders came up with two theories of why the duck showed up in Central Park.It might be an unwanted pet as it is not an uncommon practice for people to bring pets they no longer want，particularly birds and turtles，to the park and release them，said Barrett.The duck might also be an escapee from a nearby house，with New Jersey a particularly likely location as the state，unlike New York，allows these kinds of birds to be kept as pets.People originally suggested that the duck might have escaped from a local zoo，but none of the four major zoos in New York has a lost Mandarin duck，ruling out this speculation.
     Mandarin ducks do not breed with other species，and no female duck is around to accompany it，Barrett said.Because of that，it has been named "New York's most eligible bachelor" by New York Magazine.
     The park authorities have publicly stated that they would not intervene with the duck unless it gets injured and needs medical care. "It's a fun thing - people can have a good time，" added Barrett， "and maybe they will take an interest in nature，and in other wild birds."
  
  （1）The purpose that people go to the Central Park is to

  .
  A．a(chǎn)ppreciate an unusual male Mandarin Duck
  B．enjoy the beauty of autumn
  C．spend weekends with families
  D．have a look at the park
  （2）Why has the duck been named "New York's most eligible bachelor"？

  
  A．It is very beautiful.
  B．It has no female for company.
  C．They do not breed with other animals.
  D．They are real bachelors.
  （3）Which of the following statements is True according to the passage？

  
  A．The Mandarin Duck is common in Europe and North America.
  B．There are two sayings about the duck's disappearance in the Central Park.
  C．Barrett says that people can have fun watching it.
  D．New York allows these kinds of birds to be kept as pets.
  （4）What does the underlined phrase "intervene with" in paragraph 5 probably mean？

  
  A．Shot.
  B．Kill.
  C．Catch.
  D．Disturb.

• 3．Researchers have found two different species of sea snake that were previously thought to be extinct.The snake，discovered off the coast of Western Australia，had not been seen for more than 15 years.
     "This discovery is really thrilling，and we get another chance to protect these two specific Western Australian sea snake species，" study lead author Blanche D'Anastasi said happily in a news release.
     The two species of sea snake—short-nose and leaf-scales—have disappeared from Ashmore Reef in the Timor Sea，previously their only known habitat.So scientists thought the animals had gone extinct.Instead，it seems they have been driven elsewhere.The short-nose snake was spotted by a Western Australia Parks and Wildlife officer，Grant Griffin，on Ningaloo Reef.
     Some leaf-scales sea snakes were found in the seagrass beds of Shark Bay，over 1，000 miles south of Ashmore Reef.
     "In order to succeed in protecting them，we will need to monitor populations as well as undertake research into understanding their physiological characteristics and the threats they face，" D'Anastasi said.
     Sea snakes across the board have seen a decline，especially in Ashmore Reef.That reef used to be rich in biodiversity，but only one or two in nine sea snake species that used to live there are still rich in biodiversity，according to a 2013 study.
     These sea snakes aren't the only animals to be rediscovered this year.Animals that were thought to be extinct but were found alive have been regarded as "living fossils ".
     In August a mollusc（軟體動物）called the nautilus（鸚鵡螺）was seen again after about three decades，leading scientists to call for protection against illegal fishing of the animals for nautilus shells.
  
  （1）How did Blanche D'Anastasi feel about the discovery？

  
  A．Relieved.
  B．Stressed.
  C．Astonished.
  D．Disappointed.
  （2）We can infer from paragraph 3 that short-nose sea snakes

  .
  A．have long noses and leaf scales
  B．still live in Ashmore reef
  C．have gone extinct
  D．have moved to Ningaloo Reef
  （3）Why did nautilus face extinction？

  
  A．They had good nutrition.
  B．They were fished for shells.
  C．They were very beautiful.
  D．They were living fossils.
  （4）What's the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．The rediscovery of two species of sea snake.
  B．The habitat and living conditions of sea snakes.
  C．The threats that sea animals face.
  D．The research of sea animals.
