Animal Conservation

Many animal and plant species have become extinct（灭绝的）and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve（保护）the natural world they inhabit（居住）is now more important than ever.

Dodo

The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681.

Rhinos

The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves（保护区）. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷猎者）.

The Giant Panda

The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1000 remain in the wild． The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, The panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.

Whales

The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries（保护区）, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered． Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions（碰撞）with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.

Tigers

The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5000 and 7000 and The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

It implies that _______.

A．The Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals

B．Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo

C．The Dodo used to be a strong animal that liked fighting.

D． The Dodo, pigs, monkeys and rats were the natives to the Island of Mauritius

Running like the wind, roaring （咆哮） like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world．But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China．

This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund．

The South China tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China．In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country．But due to the destruction of their natural habitat （栖息地） and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species．

Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China．But they are nothing like their wild cousins．They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing．If they were set free they could not look after themselves．

"Breeding has damaged the quality of the species", said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo．

To reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa．Four of them have already arrived．Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts（本能） and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．

" South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild．The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in", said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center．" We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco-chain（生物链） and there was a lack of space．"

The tigers should return to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready．

What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?

A．Because it has lost its natural instincts．

B．Because there is not a complete eco-chain．

C．Because there is no space for it．

D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions．

How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?

A．Its effect still remains to be seen．

B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins．

C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills．

D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007．

By saying " but they are nothing like their wild cousins", the writer means that ______．

A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals

B．they don't know how to hunt or kill

C．a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding

D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task

What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?

A．To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild．

B．To provide them with a better environment．

C．To get the tigers to go on a tour．

D．To find a complete eco-chain for them．

Which one is not the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?

A．Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．

B．Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers．

C．Because there is a complete eco-chain and enough space there．

D．Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in．

Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday.

Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County.

The Siberian tiger, mistakenly trapped but intentionally（故意的）eaten by the farmers, was an endangered animal which is under the first-class state protection in the country. The farmers, living in a village very close to forests, used to trap wild animals like roe deer and hares when the dying tiger unfortunately caught in their trap in February 2003.

Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law. They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said.

Six days later they secrectly carried home the tiger that had died of hunger as they had expected.The two farmers burnt the tiger’s skin, ate its meat and hid away the bones, according to the court. The crime was uncovered and reported to the police about a year later and the transgressors（违反者）were arrested on Jan.16, 2004.

64.When the two farmers found the tiger trapped, they ______________.

A.wanted to kill it for its skin

C.Tigers Are Well Protected in China

D.Two Farmers Jailed for Eating Tiger

67.The right statement of the following about the tiger is ____________.

Where did all the tigers go? That’s what Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wants to know. India’s Sariska Project Tiger Reserve, once home to 26 tigers, is now home to none. Singh has ordered a police investigation into the 39 ，and created a new taskforce to save the 40 animals.

Tigers are an endangered species(物种). Half of the world’s tiger 41 live in India. For years, tigers have been disappearing from India’s national parks, but Sariska may be the last straw. And the government has to react.

On Thursday, Singh held the first meeting of 42 officials, wildlife experts, and related leaders, aiming to count the nation’s remaining tigers, and to come up with a plan to keep them safe.

It is not hard to guess why the tigers are disappearing. Poachers (偷猎者) can 43 the big cats for $50,000 each. Tiger skin and bones are popular in Chinese 44 . A single tiger tooth can fetch $120. Recently, a group of poachers admitted killing ten tigers in Sariska and were 45 .

“Indian tiger poaching is probably the biggest conservation problem in modern times.” said Belinda Wright, the head of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.

However, poaching isn’t the only 46 . Many poachers use advanced technologies, like night glasses and long–range binoculars. Forest security officers are paid so 47 that few of them bother to track down the poachers. Even if a security guard were to find a poacher, many carry only a stick to make him obey the law.

Tiger fans hope that Singh’s plans mean end for the poachers and 48 for the endangered species.

5.A. raise B. hunt C. sell D. shoot
