The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.

The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.

The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.

Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”

The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.

“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”

Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.

4. According to the passage, what kind of species faces the biggest drop in population? A. Land and ocean species.

B. Animals with backbones.

C. Freshwater species inLatin America. D. Freshwater species in the tropics.

5. All the following can contribute to the loss of world’s wildlife population EXCEPT ________. A. turning wildlife habitats into agriculture land. B. making sustainable use of wildlife. C. hunting illegally.

D. emitting CO2 gases and pouring nitrogen.

6. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Conserving. B. Conveying. C. Exchanging. D. Transforming. 7. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. Marco is much concerned about human’s current behaviors towards wildlife. B. what the planet provides now can satisfy human’s sustainable development. C. more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost.

D. if humans reduce the effects on the climate, the whole species will not disappear.

C

The term \"bird brain\" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and using tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now,Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.

The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game against twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.

An analysis of the results showed thatGriffinoutperformed the 6 to 8-year-olds across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the \"bird brain\" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movement, that the parrot

fell behind the adults. However,Griffin's performance was never below that of the children.

Griffinwas the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. \"The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brain power in exchange for a few cashews (腰果) did not hurt either\other African Grey parrots, has been studying the species for over four decades and is considered a pioneer in the study of bird intelligence.

8. Whatwere the participants required to do in the study?

A. Identify different kinds of objects. B. Tell where the hidden object lies. C. Track other participants' performance. D. Move around upside-down cups. 9. What did the results of the study indicate? A. 6 to 8-year-olds did better thanGriffin. B. Parrots have a better memory than other birds. C. Harvard students have a better visual memory. D.Griffinoutsmarted Harvard students in some trials. 10. Why wasGriffinchosen for the experiment? A. It was good at making decisions. B. It was specially trained for experiments. C. It had similar brain functions to human beings. D. It loved to show off his language power for some treats. 11. What is the best title for the text?

A. \"Bird brain\" becomes a term for a stupid person. B. Harvard lecturer pioneers in bird intelligence study. C. Parrot outsmarted Harvard students in visual memory test. D. Researchers made new discoveries about human intelligence.

Those who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans. The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and

checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.

But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.

Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen. 12. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?

A. Its robot employees. B. Its advanced equipment. C. Its convenient location. D. Its successful management. 13. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3? A. To entertain readers. B. To prove Churi’s drawback.

C. To introduce Churi’s functions. D. To persuade people not to book the hotel. 14. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now? A. Attractive. B. Costly. C. Pioneering. D. Disappointing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Robots Are Taking Over the World. B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel. C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.

D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Keeping curious kids from disrupting wildlife

Interacting with the wild, naturally curious kids tend to collect seashells at the beach or keep small wildlife as pets.____16____So how to help kids protect the wild while enjoying spending time outsides? Here are alternatives for some of the most common outdoor behavior no-nos.

Take an interest, not things. Kids show interest in picking flowers, rocks, or shells outdoors. They’re part of wildlife's habitat and play an important role.____17____Let kids explore with a magnifying glass (放大镜)instead of their curious fingers. Let whatever they find outside stay outside.

____18____It seems a fun idea to throw pieces of bread to ducks. Animals have unique dietary needs that are different from humans. Eating human food can make them sick or become dependent on human food. Bears are an example of animals that often have to be killed after developing a taste for human food.

Admire animal afar, not disrupt nearby. The urge to take a photo with a squirrel, bird, or slow-moving turtle can be strong for kids.____19____Instead, remind kids to stay away and show them how to use a camera's zoom button, or just admire with their eyes.

Take well-worn paths, not off-road romps (嬉戏). Kicking piles of leaves, stepping on bushes, and walking through forested areas can unintentionally scare wildlife. If surprised animals defend their homes, everyone could get hurt. Nobody likes having a guest come in and destroy their home and act rudely.____20____ A. Keep snacks away from animals. B. Share food if animals are hungry.

C. Exposure to them develops kids’ love and curiosity. D. The same rule applies to visiting wildlife in their homes. E. Animals rely on plants for hiding; rocks and shells, for homes. F. Approaching animals disrupts what they do for survival, such as eating. G. Despite innocent purposes, kids’ curiosity accidentally damages the wild.
