Swans are among the most beautiful of North American waterfowl and have always enjoyed the admiration and even the protection of bird lovers Of the six species in the swan genus, only two are native to North America The trumpeter swan, the largest of the group, breeds in the northern United States and Alaska, and was nearly wiped out during the nineteenth century craze for elaborately feathered hats The whistling swan, which winters in large flocks on the Chesapeake Bay, has recently been renamed the tundra swan because it breeds and summers on the northernmost tundra regions of the continent
Recently, populations of mute swans – an exotic species introduced to North America from Europe in the early 1900s – have begun increasing by an alarming 30 to 40 percent annually in some states Most wildlife biologists today believe the majestic white creatures, with their tendency to destroy a pond’s plant life and drive away native waterfowl, might create havoc on the scale of the gypsy moth, starling, or English sparrow Both native species of swans are wild and require large areas of uninhabited summer ground for nesting and feeding Mutes, however, semi-domesticated and accustomed to people, can nest in pairs of many as three or four on one small coastal pond, which can burden delicate and environmentally essential brackish ponds.
Question The author’s main purpose in this passage is to .
A interest people in wildlife biology B describe swans of North America C prevent extinction of a swan species D forewarn an environmental problem
(25)C increasing very rapidly D possessive of their habitat
Question The phrase “wiped out” in the passage is closest in meaning to . A miscalculated B admired C cleaned up D killed off Question The author states that the native species of swans can live best .

Clothing is a distinctly human artifact Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans from the other creatures on this planet While there are other creatures which use implements to a greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it serves more than one function
The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited An extreme example of this use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of displaying one's status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization Thus clothing also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer
Clothing tells us many things about the wearer It can be used to indicate whether she is a member of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a uniform It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have been, literally, the difference between life and death In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies by their uniforms Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces
(36)walking together will have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group Nor are teens the only ones who are subject to such pressures It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to wear a suit and tie Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed People who wish to impress others often so by the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material
Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of undress are being steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species Question Clothes are uniquely human because they _.
A are artifacts B have many different functions C are made by tools D are worn when they are unnecessary

A because they have the same climate B to avoid looking different from the others

(38)Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons
