(4)By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today In recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities The passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914 The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate Bison survive today only because of the efforts of early conservationists
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever An essential task that falls to present-day conservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation resources' can be applied where action is needed most Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is threateneD.World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two most serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangereD.What threatens these species' existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are includeD.
Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminisheD.And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well
Question 36: According to the first paragraph _. A species extinction is only caused by hunting
B human beings protect wife life much more than they harm to them C the main cause of species extinction is human activities
D.we can stop radically species extinction by 2025 Question 37: The North American bison _.
A was completely extinct in 1800s B was not the aim of human hunting C was raised by settlers in 1800s
D.has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists Question 38: Species are categorized _.
A to prevent hunting B to provide food
C to destroy their habitats D.to give preferential right to conserve Question 39: Which sentence is true?
A Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction.
(5)C Pollution does nothing to species extinction.
D.Conservationists have good knowledge of all kinds of mollusks. Question 40: According to the last paragraph, _.
A species extinction has no relationship to human beings
B what threaten plants and animals can nothing to human beings C human beings depend on natural resources to survive
D.not every, species has a role in the circle of life.

Archaeological records ― paintings, drawings, and carvings of humans engaged in activities involving the use of hands ― indicate that humans have been predominantly right-handed for more than 5,000 years In ancient Egyptian artwork, for example, the right-hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90percent of the examples Fracture or wear patterns on tools also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right-handed
Cro-Magnon cave paintings some 27,000years old commonly show outlines of human hands made by placing one hand against the cave wall and applying paint with the other Children today make similar outlines of their hands with crayons on paper With few exceptions, left hands of Cro-Magnons are displayed on cave walls, indicating that the paintings were usually done by right-handers
Anthropological evidence pushes the record of handedness in early human ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago One important line of evidence comes from flaking patterns of stone cores used in toolmaking: implementsflaked with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed toolmaker) can be distinguished from those flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation (indicating a left-handed toolmaker)
Even scratches found on fossil human teeth offer clues Ancient humans are thought to have cut meat into strips by holding it between their teeth and slicing it with stone knives, as the present-day Inuit Occasionally the knives slip and leave scratches on the users` teeth Scratches made with a left-to-right stroke direction (by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the opposite direction (made by left-handers)
Still other evidence comes from cranial morphology: scientists think that physical differences between the right and left sides of the interior of the skull indicate subtle physical differences between the two sides of the brain The variation between the hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used to perform specific activities Such studies, as well as studies of tool use, indicate that right- or left-sided dominance is not exclusive to modern Homo sapiens. Populations of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis, seem to have been predominantly right-handed, as we are
Question 41:What is the main idea of the passage?
(6)D.Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern humans. Question 42: The word "other" refers to
A outline B hand C wall D.paint

A tools B designs C examples D.pieces
Question 45: When compared with implements "flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation"), it can be inferred that "implements flaked with a clockwise motion" are
A more common B larger C more sophisticated D.older
Question 46: The word "clues" is closest in meaning to
A solutions B details C damage D.information
Question 47: The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because
A the relationship between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified B it emphasizes the differences between contemporary humans and their ancestors
C the scratch patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from patterns produced by modern
knives
D.it demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools Question 48: The word "hemispheres" in line 24 is closest in meaning to

Question 49: Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Habilis A To contrast them with modern humans
B To explain when human ancestors began to make tools
C To show that early humans were also predominantly right-handed D.To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large
