LONDON ( Reuters)-- Ecotourism (生态旅游) is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers. Biologists and conservationists (自然环境保护论者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying. “Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said. The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see”. Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine. “The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding,” said Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies. Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started. “The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism,” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand. 1.What's the text mainly about? A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money. B. There will be no ecotourism without animals. C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see. D. More research should be done on ecotourism. 2.According to New Scientist magazine, more and more evidence has come to suggest that _____. A. polar bears are getting stressed B. other creatures are losing weight C. many animals do not respond well to travellers in their backyard D. All of the above 3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A. Ecotourism may endanger the survival of some animals. B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies. C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year. D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.

When elephants retire, many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tenn. They arrive one by one, but they tend to live out their lives two-by-two. "Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with," says sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley. It's likely having a best girlfriend, Buckley says - "Somebody they can relate to, they have something in common with." Debbie has Ronnie. Misty can't live without Dulary. Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs. But perhaps the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella. Tarra, an 8,700 pound Asian elephant; Bella, a stray dog, are closest friends. Bella is one of more than a dozen stray dogs that have found a home at the sanctuary. Most want nothing to do with the elephants and vice versa. But not this odd couple. "Bella knows she's not an elephant. Tarra knows she's not a dog," Buckley adds. "But that's not a problem for them." "When it's time to eat they both eat together. They drink together. They sleep together. They play together," Buckley says. Tarra and Bella have been close for years — but no one really knew how close they were until recently. A few months ago Bella suffered a spinal cord injury. She couldn't move her legs, couldn't even wag her tail. For three weeks the dog lay motionless up in the sanctuary office. And for three weeks the elephant held vigil: 2,700 acres to roam free, and Tarra just stood in the corner, beside a gate, right outside that sanctuary office. "She just stood outside the balcony - just stood there and waited," says Buckley. "She was concerned about her friend." Then one day, sanctuary co-founder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other. "Bella's tail started wagging. And we had no choice but to bring Bella down to see Tarra," Blais says. They visited like that every day until Bella could walk. Today, their love — and trust — is stronger than ever. Bella even lets Tarra pet her tummy - with the bottom of her enormous foot. They harbor no fears, no secrets, no prejudices. Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences. Take a good look at this couple, human beings. Take a good look at the world. If they can do it — what's our excuse? 1.The underlined part “Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs.” in Para. 2 means ______. A. both of the pairs are elephants. B. both of the pairs look strange. C. animals there have different kinds of friends. D. they are friends of the same kind. 2.The last paragraph infers that _____________. A. different animals can become closest friends. B. people should learn something from each other. C. people all over the world should cooperate. D. People all over the world should become the closest friends. 3.Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Unlikely friends. B. Lasting friendship. C. Unselfish love. D. Magic nature.

A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such findings tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic(肥胖症的流行)began in the 1980s, and many people think it results from increased portion（食物） sizes and inactivity , but that can't be everything. Big Macs and TVs have been with us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were related to something in the environment," says Thomas Glass of the Hopkins School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green. The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn't the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood simply means more places for kids to play — which is important since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest links to children's activity levels. Glass warns that most studies don't necessarily prove a link between greenness and health, but they're helping spur action. In September the U.S. government approved the No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives (积极性)aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors. Finding green space is, of course, not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take advantage of what's there. Your children in particular will love it — and their bodies will thank you. 1.According to the passage, what might cause children’s inactivity? A. Less concrete and more trees B. Increased portion sizes C. A green neighborhood D. A shrinking of the green 2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is wrong? A. Big Macs and TVs have something to do with obesity. B. If a 100-pound man lives in green space for 2 years, he will lose 13 pounds. C. Kids should be exposed more to outdoors. D. Kids gain less weight living in a suburb or a city with good parks. 3.What does the underlined word “spur” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. improve B. take C. encourage D. stop 4.What might be the best title of the passage? A. The obesity epidemic B. Slimmer in the grass C. Causes of obesity D. Prevention of obesity

任务型阅读 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。每个空格一个单词（满分10分） The good news: Your son or daughter has graduated from college. The potentially bad news: Due to job losses, the pressure of student loan debt or some other factors, he/she has to return home, living with you. A recent survey has found that almost one-in-five grown children (aged 18-34) now live with their parents. And of those children, about one-third say they used to live independently elsewhere before returning home. The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation”(回巢族). Don’t worry. From a positive angle, you may find you can actually do a lot to keep harmony in the household and make this tricky time manageable, even beneficial for all involved. When your child comes back, he/she can be a source of social support. He/She can help out economically. And you really get a chance to establish a different relationship—as adults. It’s important to know how long this kind of situation will last. This can be discussed with your family members, but it’s essential that everyone understands the arrangement. It’s also important to set a goal for your graduated child to help him/her find a suitable job. Everyone should keep the household rules. College kids are used to doing what they want. So let your child know your expectations for household chores, overnight guests, noise and so on. You can list something that you can never accept. It is absolutely OK for parents to charge rent(房租). If a grown child is able to pay rent, he/she should be asked to pay some. This can also include electricity, water or other benefits he/she is enjoying. If you feel it uncomfortable to take money from your child, you can collect rent money and return it to him/ her when he/she leaves, to help him/her in his/her new home. Avoid falling into traditional parent-child roles. This is difficult, but parents should not do traditional things such as lending your grown child money or doing his/her laundry or cleaning any more. Your child has grown up; he/she is no longer a teenager. At last, parents should not get overly involved in your child’s lives and personal relationships. Parents need to respect your child’s growing independence. Creating a dictatorship (独裁) doesn’t help him/ her grow as a self-reliant individual.
