Two years ago, the estimated decline since 1970 stood at 68%, and four years ago, it was under 60%.Many scientists believe we are living through the sixth mass extinction-the largest loss of life on Earth since the time of the dinosaurs-and that it as being driven by humans. The report’s 89 authors urged world leaders to reach an ambitious agreement at the Cop 15 biodiversity summit in Canada this December and to cut carbon emissions to limit global heating to below 1. 5 C this decade to stop to serious destruction of nature.Latin America and the Caribbean have seen the steepest declines in average wildlifepopulation size, with a 94% drop in 48 years. Africa had the second largest fall at 66%, followed by Asia and the Pacific with 55% and North America at 20%. Europe and Central Asia experienced an 18% fall. The total loss is akin to the human population of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania and China disappearing, according to the report.Land use change is still the leading driver of biodiversity loss across the planet. Robin Freeman, head of one unit at Zoological Society of London’s, said it was clear humanity is eroding the very foundations of life, and argent action is needed. He mentioned, “It’s not just about conservation, it’s about changing production and consumption-and the only way we are going to be able to make laws or call for that is to have these clear measurable targets that ask for recovery of abundance, reduction of extinction risk and the ending of extinctions at Cop 15 in December.”11．What do the data in paragraph 1 show?A．The sixth mass extinction of forests is going down.B．The industrial pollution is becoming more widespread.C．The consumption level is beyond the limits of the earth.D．The decline rate of wildlife populations is beyond the estimation.12．What does the underlined word “akin” mean in paragraph 3?A．Similar.B．Different.C．Contrary.D．Normal. 13．What can we learn from Robin Freeman’s words in paragraph 4?A．Stable land use can prevent the loss of wildlife populations.B．Cop 15 should take the responsibility for biodiversity reduction.C．Making laws for recovery of wildlife abundance seems impossible.D．Changing ways of production and consumption matters in protection.14．What is the best title of the passage?A．Wildlife Faces Great Challenges to SurviveB．All Continents Suffer from Wildlife DisappearanceC．Human Activities Contribute to Wildlife’s Habitat LossD．Animal Numbers Decrease by an Average of 69%under 5 DecadesScientists have long known that a crow （乌鸦）native to New Caledonia is able to use tools. The birds use them to remove food from deep holes. Now, American researchers have discovered a second species of crow with the same ability. They reported on their experimentswith Alala crows, which are from the Hawaiian Islands.In the experiment, the researchers placed pieces of food in holes inside the wood. The holes were too deep for the crows to reach with their beaks(鸟喙). But, by using small pieces of wood held in their beaks, Alala crows quickly got the food. They used small objects as tools, sometimes changing them by shortening too-long sticks. They also made tools from plant materials.“The crows use their beaks as people use thumbs on their hands. Tool use is rare in the animal kingdom. ” said Chritian Rutz of University of St. Andrews. “Current evidence strongly suggests that tool use is part of the species’ natural behavioral pattern(行为模式). These birds had no special training in the study, yet most of them were skilled at handling stick tools. ”Bird experts claim finding out that the crows use tools is important discovery. “It makes us rethink how to look at the whole tool-use idea now and encourages us to go out and look for things that we may have ignored before. ”All the Alala crows left in the world live in Hawaii. There were less than 20 Alalas left in the late 1990s when scientists decided to bring them into a protected area. Now, it is reported that there are over 100 birds living there. Scientists plan to release a small number of the birds back into the wild later.15．What are the findings of American researchers?A．Alala crows can also use tools.B．It’s difficult for birds to look for food.C．New Caledonia is home to some crows.D．The Hawaiian Islands are full of rare birds.16．What can we learn from the study?A．The holes were very big and wide.B．Alala crows could only use short sticks.C．Alala crows got the food by working together.D．Alala crows would deal with tools if necessary.17．What do Chritian Rutz’s words mean?A．Using tools comes naturally to Alala crows.B．Using stick tools is not easy for Alala crows.C．Alala crows’ beaks look like people’s hands.D．Alala crows won’t use tools without being trained.18．What do scientists plan to do with Alala crows?A．Move all of them out of Hawaii.B．Increase the population of them. C．Set some of them free in nature.D．Build more protected areas for them.Faced with greater competition, movie theaters have tried various experiments to upgrade the cinematic experience, including bigger and brighter screens and shaking seats. But a major challenge for exhibitors is to make the experience more attractive without depending on tricks.One local theater, Regal L. A．Live, is experimenting with an idea that managers say strikes the right balance between so-called upgrade and sensory overload. The downtown L. A．theater plans to introduce Immersive Cinema Experience known as ICE technology in one of its auditoriums (礼堂) this fall.The 190-seat auditorium will feature a traditional screen at the front, like any other theater. But the audience will also have five LED screens on both sides that will flood moviegoers’ peripheral (周边的) vision with lights and colors based on what’s playing on the main screen. For example, if you’re watching a scene that takes place in the African desert, the LED might shower the audience with enveloping colors of sky-blue, sun-like yellow sand. But importantly, viewers won’t have to turn their necks to catch any additional onscreen action. “When you’re watching the movie, you actually feel very absorbed in the film,” said Shelby Russell, a manager at L. A．Live. “It strengthens the mood of each of the scenes.”Regal L. A．Live will be the first U.S theater to employ the technology. Managers did not say how much tickets would cost, but like other previous formats such as Imax, they will be more expensive than standard admission.Other cinemas have tried to introduce some other formats as theaters face growing threats from popular media. Results have been mixed, though. 4DX, which uses seat movements, water and scent effects, operates in more than 620 theaters around the world. On the other hand, Barco Escape, a once promising idea for a three-screen theatrical design, failed to catch on. Shelby said the success of ICE theaters in France, where it competes with Imax, indicated well for its U.S. expansion. “The problem with other formats is that they distract the moviegoer from the film,” Shelby said. “ICE appeals to a very large audience.”19．What leads cinemas to experiment with new technology?A．Expensive admission.B．Growing competition.C．Mixed results of previous formats.D．The increasing number of moviegoers. 20．What does ICE use to upgrade cinematic experience?A．Brighter colors.B．Shaking seats.C．Multiple screens.D．Sweet-scented effects.21．How do the audience feel when watching films in an ICE cinema?A．Absorbed in the movie.B．Distracted from the screens. C．Overloaded with excitement.D．Tired from turning their necks. 22．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Imax failed to catch on in France.B．ICE looks promising in the U.S. C．Barco Escape is a popular design.D．The use of 4DX is on the decline.In the Shanghai Grand Theatre, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Shanghai Grand Theatre. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after being appointed as United Nations Development Program Goodwill Ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course of the otherfour-month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out."I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good," she says.” But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times. "So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(重新激起)the interest of the younger generation. " Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage. ".Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots." China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories Western classical music is the top," she says. "For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from " made in China" to " created in China". 23．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．The audience is all young people.B．Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music.C．Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stage.D．Tree branches make good musical instruments.24．What can we know about Zhu Zheqin?A．She teaches music in a conservatory.B．She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.C．She works as an official in the United Nations.D．She's created all the music for the concert held in Shanghai Grand Theatre.25．What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?A．It is completely out of date.B．Only old musicians play it well.C．It needs changes to attract young people.D．It is quickly dying out.26．What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?A．The traditional music should be repackaged.B．Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.C．China has contributed a lot to Western art.D．Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.三、七选五What parents should know about childhood cancer.Childhood cancer takes up less than 1% of total cases of cancer.
