分析 本文是说明文．文章详细介绍了地铁站的一些信息．比如每位成年人持票可以携带两名五岁以下儿童乘坐地铁；月票的购买和使用情况；车票的价格；此外，作者还介绍了一些服务部门的电话号码以方便乘客的需要．

解答 32．D 细节理解题．根据Metrorall （地铁）部分第二段内容"there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to 5inchange．"可知，自动售卡机只能最多找5美元的零钱，故答案选D．易错选项为A，文中的Useitafter9：30a，m．until closing on weekdays是使用fare card的时间，而不是fare card machines售票的时间．
33．B 细节理解题．根据Hours of service的介绍部分"Close midnight Sun-Thurs．；3a．m．Sat-Sun"可知，在周末停运时间是凌晨3点，故答案选B．
34．B 推理判断题．根据第三部分对Metrobus的介绍"Whenpayingwithexactcharge，thefareis1.35．When paying with a SmarTrip?card，the fare is 1.25．"可知，如果使用SmarTrip?card支付的话，会比直接付钱省$0.1，所以它对于用户来说是省钱的．故答案选B．
35．A 细节理解题．根据文章最后一段的"If you lose something on a bus or train or in a station，please call Lost &Found at 202-962-1195，"可知，如果乘客丢失物品的话可以拨打失物招领处的电话202-962-1195，故答案选A．

点评 本文是一篇广告布告类阅读理解．在解题时注意通过全篇把握文章大意再结合选项寻找关键字词的办法来排除答案，注意细节题较多，应多细心进行分析．

An absolute description of the threat hanging over the world's mammals,reptiles,amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal,Nature.A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened.

Many species are already critically endangered and close to extinction,including the Sumatran elephant,Amur leopard and mountain gorilla.But also in danger of vanishing（消失）for the wild,it now appears,are animals that are currently rated as merely being endangered.

In each case,the finger of blame points directly at human activities.The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying millions of hectares of wild habitats every year,leaving animals without homes,while the introduction of newly-come species,often helped by humans,is also damaging native populations.At the same time,pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.

"Habitat destruction,pollution or overfishing either kill off wild creatures and plants or leaves them badly weakened," said Derek Tittensor,an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. "The trouble is that in coming decades,the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors."

The problem,according to Nature,is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists knowledge about the planet's biodiversity.Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million.In addition,evaluations of current rates of species' disappearances vary from 500 to 36,000 a year. "That is the real problem we face," added Tittensor. "The scale of uncertainty is huge."

In the end,however,the data indicate that the world is heading cruelly towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more.This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand,depending on extinction rates.

A. Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.

B. Nature is the famous journal around the world.

C. Many endangered species are close to extinction.

D. Some rare species have appeared around the world.

2.From paragraph 4 we know that another future threat is .

A. destruction of habitats B. overfishing and pollution

C. the worsening climate change D. killing off wild creatures and plants

3.What is the real problem we are facing now according to paragraph 5?

A. The killing of wild creatures and cutting of trees.

B. The global warming caused by human beings.

C. The destruction of ocean ecosystem by pollution.

D. Evaluation of current rates of species' disappearances.

4.What does "This" in the last sentence refer to?

A. mass extinction. B. extinction rates.

C. extinction time. D. 75% of species or more.
