The black robin (知更鸟)is one of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird and it lives only on the island of Little Mange-re, off the coast of New Zealand. In  1967 there were about fifty black robins there ; in  1977 there were fewer than ten. These are the only black/robins left in the world. The island has many other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small, and they seem to multiply (繁殖)very happily.
Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin—to guard those appeal for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a "reserve",for threatened wildlife, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Man-gere should then be restocked (再储存)with the robin's food—it eats only one kind of seed—and so renewed for it. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated (耕种)in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at improving the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our time at least.
In the earth's long, long past, hundreds of kinds of creature have evolved (进化),risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. That is Nature's proven method of operation.
The rule of selection " the survival of the fittest" is the one by which man has himself arrived on the scene.
Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins.
The black robin is dying out mainly because __________.

A.people have been very careless about its survival
B.its only food is becoming exhausted(耗尽)on Little Mangere
C.the other birds on the island have destroyed it
D.the appeal for money has come at the wrong time

The writer's attitude towards the protection of the black robins is __________

A.active B.passive
C.indifferent D.pessimistic

The success of other small birds on Little Mangere shows that __________.

A.the island cannot have very much food left
B.something has to die out, and they can't all be winners
C.the big birds have all been attacking the black robin
D.the robin has failed to meet the challenges of life

As regard selection and survival, the decisive factor seems to be __________

A.the ability to adapt to changed or changing conditions
B.the number of wildlife reserves that are available
C.the concern and generosity of the public
D.the size of the home, or the amount of space one has to live in

The evidence seems to suggest that __________

A.it is a disaster for everyone when one kind of bird dies out
B.all creatures are concerned about the survival of others
C.nature expects and accepts the dying out of weaker breeds
D.man is to blame when such a thing happens

UCLA scientists report for the first time on the only known frog species that can communicate using purely ultrasonic(超声)calls, whose frequencies are too high to be heard by humans. Known as Huia cavitympanum, the frog lives only on the Southeast Asian island of Bomeo(婆罗洲).
Ultrasounds are high-pitched sounds more than  20 kilohertz(kHz) in frequency, which exceeds the upper limit of sounds detectable by humans and is far higher than the 5 to 8 kHz frequencies most amphibians (两栖动物),reptiles and birds are capable of hearing or producing. Key parts of the ear must be specially adapted to detect ultrasounds.
The frogs can hear sounds up to  38 kilohertz, the highest frequency that any amphibian species has been known to hear, the scientists report. Humans can hear up to about  20 kHz and typically talk at 2 or 3 kHz.
While most of the more than 5,000 frog species worldwide have eardrums that are flat on the side of the head, Huia cavitympanum has eardrums recessed in the side of the skull, similar to mammals.
Peter Narins, UCLA distinguished professor of physiological science and of ecology and evolutionary biology, and Victoria Arch, a UCLA graduate student in ecology and evolutionary biology, spent several nights in the remote area where the frogs live.
" We had very little information suggesting that they would be in this location," said Arch, lead author of the study. " We found them our first night out. "
The study was published on April  29 in the online journal PLOS ONE, a publication of the Public Library of Science, and is available at
http://dx. plos. org/10. 1371/journal, pone. 05413.
Huia cavitympanum mainly live __________.

A.in all over the world
B.in many parts of China
C.only on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo
D.only on the certain countries' marsh

This kind of new-found frog can hear each other with up to __________ kHz ultrasounds.

A.2-3 B.5 -8
C.more than 20 D.38

Like all animal species, plant species must spread their off-spring to suitable areas where they can grow and pass on their parents' genes. Young animals generally spread by walking or flying. Because plants don't have that ability, they must somehow hitchhike(搭顺风车). Some plant seeds scatter by blowing in the wind or floating on water. Many other plant species, though, trick an animal into carrying their seeds. How do they do this? They enclose the seeds within a tasty fruit and advertise the fruit's ripeness by its colour or smell. The hungry animal collects and swallows the fruit, walks or flies off, and later spits out the seeds somewhere far from its parent tree. Seeds can thereby be carried for thousands of miles. It may surprise you to learn that plant seeds can resist digestion. In fact, some seeds actually require passage through an animal's body before they can grow.
Wild strawberries offer a good example of hitchhiking tactics. When strawberry seeds are still young and not yet ready to be planted, the surrounding fruit is green, sour and hard. When the seeds finally mature, the berries turn red, sweet, and tender. The change in the berries'colour serves as a signal to birds which then eat the strawberries, fly off, and eventually spit out the seeds.
Naturally, strawberry plants didn't set out with a conscious intention of attracting birds only when their seeds were ready to be dispersed . Nor did birds set out with the intent of planting strawberries. Rather, strawberry plants evolved through natural selection. The sweeter and redder the final strawberry, the more birds spread its ripe seeds ; the greener and more sour the young strawberry, the fewer birds destroyed the seeds by eating berries before the seeds were ready.
What does the underlined word "dispersed" in the third para-graph mean?

A.Spread. B.Eaten. C.Born. D.Planted.

For plants, which of the following is NOT a way of spreading their offspring to suitable areas?

A.Hitchhiking.
B.Blowing in the wind.
C.Floating on water.
D.Tracking an animal.

Which strategy does the example of wild strawberries describe?

A.The conscious intent of attracting birds.
B.Spreading by walking.
C.Spreading by flying.
D.The strategy of taking a lift.

Why does the author describe how strawberry seeds are spread?

A.To show plants are good at adapting to the environment.
B.To show strawberry's special way.
C.To show the plant has different ways of spreading seeds.
D.To show the mystery of plant.

What's the passage mainly about?

A.How animals disperse offspring.
B.How plants disperse their offspring.
C.Plant evolution.
D.Plants'hitchhiking on animals.

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest(害虫)problems.
Even better, Foley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eyes. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running " fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to  70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in  1984,after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-terra backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. " This technique can be used on  75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain  10 years ago.
Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are __________.

A.sprayed with pesticides
B.facing an infrared scanner
C.in poor physical condition
D.exposed to excessive sun rays

In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infra-red scanning to __________.

A.estimate the damage to the crops
B.measure the size of the affected area
C.draw a color-coded map
D.locate the problem area

Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by __________.

A.resorting to spot-spraying
B.consulting infrared scanning experts
C.transforming poisoned rain
D.detecting crop problems at an early stage

The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties. For example,__________.

A.the lack of official support
B.its high cost
C.the lack of financial support
D.its failure to help increase production

Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of __________.

A.the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B.growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C.the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D.full support from agricultural experts

Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear?         It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called "elevator(电梯)music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name " Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to" Muzak" every day. The music plays for  15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.   
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why?      
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background.      Supermarket shoppers buy  38 percent more groceries.
   They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak !

A.Some people don't like Muzak.
B.The music gives them extra energy.
C.Music is playing in the background.
D.Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
