    Several animal species including gorillas in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if the impact of climate change and extreme weather on their habitats is not addressed, a UN report showed on Sunday.
    Launched on the sidelines of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and excessive land use have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
    “Many ecosystems have already been stressed by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive (入侵的) species,” Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director general at the FAO's forestry department, said at the launch of the report.
    The most affected areas include mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to migrate elsewhere and create new habitats.
    “The remaining populations become surrounded in very small ecosystems, they have inbreeding (近亲交配) problems ... and at the end these species may disappear,” he added.
    Other examples of affected animals included elephants in Mali, lions in the Serengeti and crocodiles in Malawi.
    The report said an estimated 20-30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant proportion of native species may become extinct by 2050 as a consequence.
    Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said.
    The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing with climate change such as mangroves(红树林), inland waters, forests, savannahs(非洲大草原) and grasslands.
    The FAO also called for the creation of migration corridors for animals in areas where their movement was limited.
    The organization said while more resources were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at the government and policy level was needed.
    It also urged local communities to develop projects that mitigate the impact of climate change on wildlife, naming eco-tourism activities as an example.
    【小题1】What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2?

    A．The theme of global climate negotiations in Durban.
    B．The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
    C．Causes of damage done to ecosystems.

    B．They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
    C．They can hardly find mates to produce their young.
    D．They have little chance of moving to other places.

    A．restoring damaged ecosystems
    B．limiting world population growth
    C．creating movement channels for animals
    D．urging governments and local communities to take action

    The United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008，mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.
    World food prices have dropped since early 2008．Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years．
    But FAO official Hafez Ghana says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis（危机）in many poor countries．"For millions in developing countries," he says, "getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.”
    The FAO says food shortage is a threat to people's health．Today, two-thirds of the world's undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia and so on.
    A report on food insecurity warns that the current economic crisis could send even more people into hunger and poverty.
    In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008．But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets．These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals．The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.
    The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals．But South Asia and Central Asia haven't, and North Korea is still in hot water.
    31. What FAO official Hafez Ghana says implies ＿．
    A. it's easy but takes long to provide people with enough food
    B. enough food can make people more active and healthier
    C. there is difficulty solving the food shortage in a short time
    D. people in developing countries will never get enough food
    32. Ghana has reached the targets of hunger reduction mainly because of ＿．
    A. the still high food prices                      
    B. the donation of developed countries
    C. the two targets of hunger reduction      
    D. the growth in agricultural production
    33. The underlined word "undernourished" in Para. 4 probably means ＿．
    A. hungry and unhappy                       B. unhealthy for lack of food
    C. not fat because of poverty               D. undeveloped and poor
    34. Which country has not made progress in hunger reduction?
    A. North Korea    B. Thailand      C. Vietnam     D. Ghana
    35. What is the best title of this passage?
    A. The food production of the world
    B.    The hunger reduction target of the FAO
    C.    The food shortage around the world
    D.    The solution to the global food shortage
