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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Conserving.
B. Conveying.
C. Exchanging.
D. Transforming.
11. 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.
D
Parents and math teachers regularly asked by their school-aged charges whether math matters inreal life now have an answer.
In a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research this week, Harvard Kennedy School Policy Professor Joshua Goodman took a look at what happened to students whose high schools were required in the 1980s to increase the minimum level of coursework required to graduate. What he found is that the students were more likely to increase the number of math courses they took as a result of the change in standards and that translated into higher earnings down the line.
Put simply: About 15 years after they graduated, the high school graduates who went to school when these
changes took effect saw their average earnings increase about 10% for every extra year of math coursework. The findings may add fuel to the steady drum of education experts, policy makers and others calling for an increased focus on science and math education.
The increase in required math courses didn’t necessarily produce rocket scientists, Goodman notes, because the extra coursework wasn’t at a particularly high level. But becoming familiar with and practicing ly basic math skills allowed high school graduates to pursue and excel at jobs that required some level of computational knowledge, he said.
Goodman acknowledged that the earnings boost for the students connected with the up tick （上升）in math education may be dependent on the state of the economy. When Goodman checked in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the earnings of the students who graduated in the late 1985，he found that their earnings increased significantly if they took more math.
12. What does Joshua Goodman’s study find?
A. High school graduates earn more.
B. High school students prefer math.
C. Math matters a lot in one’s income.
D. Math is a compulsory course in school.
13. Why is increase in required math courses useful?
A. It produced rocket scientists.
B. It makes high school students smarter.
C. It meets the requirements of the government.
D. It enables high school graduates to get better jobs.
14. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a warning to policy makers.
B. To seek help for high school students’ problems.
C. To show the great importance of learning math.
D. To tell a struggling history of high school students.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Efforts matter most
B. Math makes money
C. Earnings of different graduates
D. Changes of high school courses
