Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)

Passage One

Ask children about their favorite animal and it is highly likely that at least one will respond enthusiastically with the name of a dinosaur. Despite the fact that they were extinct long before humans set foot on the Earth, these huge reptiles have captured our imaginations.

Many children collect models of the most various species and they are experts on their preferred habitat and favorite food. One of the most popular exhibits in London's Natural History Museum is the enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which never seems to lose its appeal, shrugging off stiff competition from hi-tech cyber versions.

Archaeologists (考古学家) continue to amaze us with their remarkable discoveries — the latest being a 66-million-year old fossil of a dinosaur heart. Such findings enable them to shed further light on these fascinating creatures.

The word \describe something unwieldy and outdated. It may not be too long before some of the animals we currently take for granted join the dinosaurs in extinction and our inheritors will be visiting museums rather than zoos in order to learn about them.

Eminent scientists are warning governments around the world that the current rate of extinction is 1,000 to 10,000 times above normal and that a quarter or more species are reaching the brink of disappearance. Giant pandas are amongst those under threat. Their rapidly decreasing number is partly due to the shrinking of their natural habitat and the difficulty of breeding them in captivity.

The world's largest living land mammal, the elephant, is another favorite which could become a rarity in years to come. Fortunately, a ban on ivory has been enforced over the past decade and astute former hunters recognize that there are profits to be gained from the eco-tourist trade. Nowadays, visitors to national parks prefer to see the tusks on a living creature as opposed to a souvenir trinket (小装饰品) on their shelves back home. However, debates continue as to the effects of such tourism on wildlife. Our planet comprises a rich web of life. No organism can survive without affecting its environment; our lives are inextricably entwined (缠住) so that the quality of our respective lives depends on the behavior of those around us. Every so often we should stop and think of the

consequences of our actions, however small they may seem at the time. Are we humans really the super intelligent beings we proclaim ourselves to be?

21. Which of the following statements is true?

A. People lost their interest in dinosaurs because they were extinct long before humans appeared on the Earth.

B. The non-stop archaeological discoveries enable us to get further information about dinosaurs.

C. Our inheritors will be visiting the already extinct animals alive in the future zoo. D. Children love to collect models of the various extinct species instead of the existing ones. 正确答案：B 得分：2分

22. Which of the following titles best describes the content of the passage?

A. Endangered Animals
