4、s of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake. To protect this paradise for bi

5、rds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997. Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones. Inspection officials and management employees often patrol

6、the lake, improving local residents knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area, to prevent wolves, foxes

7、and other carnivorous (食肉的) animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds nestbuilding, egglaying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding. 1Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest saltwater lake in the Great Nort

8、hwest? ABecause it is getting warmer and warmer. BBecause it is being reformed. CBecause environments there are getting more and more agreeable for them to live in. DBecause the people there are becoming richer and richer. 2The birds feed on _ according to the passage. Afloating fish and various gra

9、sses Bgrass moving on the water surface and different kinds of fish Csalt water and plenty of grains Dcorn from the local farmers 3What can be inferred from the passage? AThe ice and snow covering the QinghaiTibet Plateau doesnt change into water unless more than 20 kinds of birds come to the Bird I

10、slands. BFlocks of birds fly up to the whole sky over islands to lay eggs. CVisitors cant hear the singing of birds within miles.

11、tion law Btell the farmers there some knowledge about animal protection Ccall on people to love and protect the birds Dall of the above B California Condors Shocking Recovery California condors are North Americas largest birds, with winglength of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and le

12、ad poisoning (铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds. In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred (繁 殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there

13、are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico. Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines，” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulti

14、ng in electrocution (电死) if they touch two lines at once. So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of se

15、tfree birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%. Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can le

16、ad to kidney (肾) failure and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38%

17、 in 2000 to 5.4% in 2019. Rideouts team thinks that the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now， ” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recove

18、ring them.” 5California condors attract researchers interest because they _. Aare active at night Bhad to be bred in the wild Care found only in California Dalmost died out in the 1980s 6Researchers have found electrical lines are _. Ablocking condors journey home Bbig killers of California condors

19、Crest places for condors at night Dused to keep condors away 7According to Paragraph 5,lead poisoning _. Amakes condors too nervous to fly Bhas little effect on condors kidneys Ccan hardly be gotten rid of from condors blood Dmakes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds C One animal which is

20、 still alive, but has almost disappeared from the world, is the Chinese river dolphin or Yangtze River dolphin. The Yangtze River dolphin is a beautiful animal with a graceful body and a long nose. It is bluegrey with a white underside, weighs between 100 and 160 kilogrammes, and can grow up to eigh

21、t feet long. It lives in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze River. Most dolphins live in the sea so the Yangtze River dolphin is very unusual. It is one of only five kinds of river dolphins in the world. In the past, there were many stories about the Yangtze River dolphin. One story said that

22、 the dolphin was really a beautiful princess who had drowned in the river. Another said it was a kind of horse that could gallop (急速行进) across water, carrying God on its back. Sadly, the situation today is very different. Many millions of people live in the Yangtze River Basin and the river is busy,

23、 noisy and polluted. The Yangtze River dolphin is almost blind and moves around using sounds. With so many boats and people using the river, the animals cannot find their way around. They are unable to find food, or find each other. Year by year, the number of Yangtze River dolphin in the river beco

24、mes smaller and smaller. A lot of work is being done to help the Yangtze River dolphin. One section of the river has been made into a kind of nature park, where the Yangtze River dolphin can be safe. Fishermen work together with scientists and tell them when they see a Yangtze River dolphin, or if t

25、hey find an injured one. Injured animals are taken to a research center and nursed back to be healthy. However, in spite of these measures, scientists estimate (估计) that the number of the Yangtze River dolphin still alive in the river may be less than 100. If things continue as they are, the lovely

That is what a report by the Royal Botanic Gardens in London says. Scientists have so far identified 391,

48、000 plants and more than 80,000 of those are in danger of becoming extinct. The plants are endangered by the growing population and clearing land for agriculture and urban development.
