Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall,but this is hardly true Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft,

rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water Although

deserts do not receive a high

amount of rainfall - to be classified as a desert, and area must get less than twenty-fivecentimeters of rainfall per year - there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts ofwater, and deserts are often full of such plant life

Desert plants have a variety of mechanism for obtaining the water needed for survival.Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water in their leaves orstems; after a rainfall these plants absorb a large supply of water to last until the nextrainfall Other plants, such as the mes-quite, have extraordinarily deep root systems thatallow them to obtain water from far below the desert's arid surface

Everybody loves the giant panda That was clear from the enthusiastic welcome NewYorkers gave to Ling Ling and Yong Yong when they arrive at the Bronx Zoo in May.The cuddy black-and white pair were on loan for six months from China's Beijing Zoo,and it was estimated that more than 1 million people visited them in New York beforethey left for a zoo in Tampa, Florida in early November

The giant panda, unfortunately, is an endangered species Only about 700 are left inthe wild, most of them living on reserves in China's Sichuan Province Despiteconservation efforts on the part of the Chinese government and scientists worldwide, thepopulation continues to decline as human beings cut down bamboo, the panda's primaryfood

Can the panda be saved? Of course All it needs is bamboo and peace Every pandapopulation should have at least two bamboo species available to lessen the impact of adie-off Bamboo at low elevations must be preserved or replanted

Existing reserves need to be expanded and new reserves created Poaching must be controlled.Zoos must improve captive breeding to provide more pandas for their original home

China's Ministry of Forestry and the World Wildlife Fund are continuing their collaborative effort

on the panda's behalf, guided by the spirit of their joint agreement that reads: "The giant panda is notonly the precious property of the Chinese people, but also a precious natural heritage of concern topeople all over the world."

III READING

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

In today's world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinc tion, and thenumber of species at risk increases every year Not all plants or animals existing in smallnumbers are endangered as their population may not be decreasing or threatened Anendangered species is one which is expected to die out within twenty years unlessspecial measures are taken to protect it Endangered animals include blue whales, giantpandas, orang-outans, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, tigers, and some species of crocodile.Endangered plants include some species of cactus

Why are the above species of animal endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, butnot all species protected are by law Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur,tusks and horn continues Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold aspets For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in suchnumbers for private bird collectors that it is almost extinct in the wild In addition to this, manyspecies' habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when theyintroduce domestic and non-native animals which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birdsand mammals which are already at risk of extinction

Trang 14

Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately balanced, and theextinction of one species may have a serious effect on others Secondly, it is the fault of mankindthat so many species are endangered, so it is our responsibility to protect those species while we stillcan We must stop the hunting of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is toolate It is worth making an effort - by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves

a more and more species become endangered each year

b all plants and animals are expected to die out in 20 years if we don't take measures protect them

b they are not kept in wildlife reserves,

c illegal hunting has been eliminated

d laws on hunting and wildlife conservation are not strictly obeyed

63 The author uses the blue macaw as an example of

a a species that has completely died out

b a species of birds killed by hunters

c birds captured for the pet trade

d birds captured for zoos

64 According to the author introducing domestic, non-native animals

a is not associated with endangered species
