[简答题]Passage 2
Endangered Species Endangered species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of extinction. Extinction is actually a normal process in the course of evolution. Since the formation of the earth, many more species have become extinct than those exist today. These species slowly disappeared because of changes of climate and their failure to adapt to such conditions as competition and predation (捕食). Since the 1600s, however, the process of extinction has greatly accelerated as a result of both human population growth and technological encroachment (侵犯) on natural ecology systems. Today the majority of the world’s environments are changing faster than the ability of most species to adapt to such changes through natural selection.
Species become extinct or endangered for a number of reasons, but the primary cause is the destruction of natural habitats (栖息地). Drainage of wetlands (沼泽地), cutting and clearing of forests, growth of cities, and highway
A. A.Human beings are not aware of the importance of preserving endangered species.
B.Some endangered species have already reached the end of their life span in evolution.
C.The development of human society has greatly affected natural ecology systems.
D.The world’s climate has changed so greatly that most species cannot survive.
[单项选择]Why save endangered species For the general public, endangered species appear to be little more than biological oddities. A very different perception is gained from considering the issue of extinction in a wider context. The important point is that many major social advances have been made on the basis of life forms whose worth would never have been perceived in advance. Consider the impact of rubber-producing plants on contemporary life and industry: approximately two-thirds of the world’s rubber supply comes from rubberproducing plants and is made into objects as diverse as rubber washers and rubber boots.

[单项选择]Should we care if over 150 known species of animals have (91) from the earth in the last fifty years Should we be concerned that there are (92) thousands of species whose very existence is (93) endangered—largely because of our activities (94) , after all, is the natural end of populations. Species are born, then (95) , and then die. Some live a (96) time, perhaps millions of years; some die more quickly. We have (97) the extinction of many species we know about, and we have undoubtedly sealed the (98) of others. In fact, there are undoubtedly many other species that have lived among us during our time on earth, but that have disappeared as a (n) (99) of our activities without our ever having known they existed.
