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
Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text?
A．The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda．
B．The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.
C．The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
D． The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.
______ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.
A．The whale’s rich oil
B．The panda's black and white patched coat
C．The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs
D． The Dodo’s delicious meat
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
B．Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
C．People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.
D． The Whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund．

Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion（部分）involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.
But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, put content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise penmanship (书法) — once taught so morally and easefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.
Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly (字迹清楚地), for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds (退税) because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations (计算结果). And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.
The subjects to be tested in the SAT include ______.
A. math, English, reading and handwriting
B. math, grammar, reading and writing
C. math, foreign language and writing
D. math, English and handwriting
The author writes this passage to introduce the fact that ______.
A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT
B. those who will go to colleges have to take the SAT
C. students should practice handwriting more often
D. in the computer age kids know how to write legibly
What does the underlined word “scribble” probably mean?
A. Write quickly and roughly. B. Take notes difficultly.
C. Print penmanship carefully. D. Describe written word generously.
According to the passage good handwriting can ______.
A. help students get high scores in tests B. make a student more popular
C. measure students’ ability D. assist one to get a job
