Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist．In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources(资源)．How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth．
Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau．He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day．Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book．The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years．The earth, with human help, is made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?
Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today．Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it．A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load．Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas．
At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment．If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book．
1．What is the purpose of writing the book？
A．To call people on to protect the environment． B．To explore the nature．
C．To make good use of the natural resourse．
D．To call on the people to explore, make good use of and protect the earth． 2．We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______ A．the environment for plants B．the biodiversity of our earth C．the wastes of natural resources D．the importance of human values
3．How many species are most important to our present food supply? A．Twenty． B．Eighty． C．One hundred D．Ten thousand． 4．Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______． A．learn how to farm scientifically B．build homes for some dying species C．make it clear what to eat D．use more species for food
5．We can infer that the text is _______ A．a description of natural resources B．a research report C．a book review D．an introduction to a scientist．

New York’s streets were covered by people dressed in elephant costumes (服装) and others waving anti-war posters with pictures of US President George W．Bush on them last week．But this was no carnival (狂欢节) — it was the Republican Party’s National Convention (共和党全国大会), which attracted thousands of protestors (抗议者)．It was the largest protest ever at a US political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29．They demanded that the US leave Iraq and a new president be chosen．
The Republicans say the opposition — Democrat Party (民主党) encouraged the people on to the streets．They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2．The election is described as \．The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the US．The elephant represents (象征) the Republicans, whose candidate (候选人), President George W．Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term．The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House．
Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative (守旧的)．In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn (倔强的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous．
The Republicans have been sending emails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, \．Elephants are known for their long memories．The emails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his words．
It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century．During the election in 1874, Nast drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lion’s skin frightened an elephant marked \． 6．In the passage, the donkey stands for _______ ． A．the White House B．the Republicans C．the Democrats D．John Kerry 7．What does \ A．Drive the animal out of the White House． B．Drive President Bush out of power． C．Keep the elephant out of the White House． D．Insist on Bush’s being elected．
