The amazon is the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world-about 10 percent of all known species

on earth dwell there. But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'big picture' of the vast

rain forest.

The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in the

Amazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to come up with the figures.

The vast size and difficult terrain (

地形

) of the Amazon basin has historically restricted studies of tree

communities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack of

information has

hindered

science and conservation efforts, according to experts.

The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance,

frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees. Extrapolations based on the data, collected

over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered

includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining U.S.

States.

While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number of

the types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber.

very valuable information for further research and policy making,

from the Netherlands.

The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to a

mathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one

thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of

Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.

U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said,

much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for conservation that the species at the greatest risk of

extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race.

62. The underlined word

hinder

is closest in meaning to

A. generated

B. blocked

C. sponsored

D. improved

63. According to the passage, what made the collection of species information so difficult?

A. The lack of experienced professionals in the field.

B. The dangers of certain types of species.

C. The big area and complicated geographic situation.

D. The unfavourable government law in the field.

64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The amazon rain forest covers 10 percent of the world's dry land.

B. The conservation of amazon has been done well.

C. About 8000 types of trees belong to over 220 species.

D. About 6000 Amazonnian tree types have died out.

65. The species conservation was made difficult by

A. the negative climate of the amazon land

B. the possibility of dying of rare species

C. the lack of conservation fund

D. the human beings' lack of concern

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each

blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Over weight has been a great concern for some people. In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have

50

tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are

51

when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people

52

the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (

碳水化合物

)

diets.

However,

such

diets

might

have

53

harmful

long- term

effects

on

the

colon

(

结肠

),

a

small

study

indicates.

In the study, UK researchers found that a protein- heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain

54

in the

colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise

the

55

of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.

Diets

56

high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight.

“People should not be

57

from losing weight,” Dr Flint said

.

58

, he added, they should make sure that

any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (

纤维

) and a high protein over months to years might

have ill effects on the colon.

The

findings

are

based

on

seventeen

overweight

men

who

59

three

short-term

diets:

a

one-week

menu plan to keep their weight; a four- week high-protein diet with

60

amounts of carbohydrates; and a

four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.

On

average,

the

study

found

when

the

men

were

on

the

high- protein

diets,

they

had

higher

levels

of

substances known as N-nitrous compounds (

亚硝基化合物

) that have been

61

cancer. And when they were

on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (

源自纤维

的混合物

) thought to be protective against

62

.

Exactly

what

those

changes

might

mean

for

a

person’s

health

is

63

;

But

Flint

said

that

the

findings

suggest

that

people

should

be

aware

of

consuming

too

much

protein

and

too

little

fiber

over

a

long

period.

64

, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day

—though it’s not known whether that’s

enough for someone on a high- protein weight-loss diet.

At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid.

They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many

other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has

taught for several years.

Teaching

has

people

It

is

by

history

a

profession that has provided rewards in addition to money

—

the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing

others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many,

than there are rewards.

Unruly (

不守规矩的

) students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in

terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.

As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are

Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States.

going into other fields.

Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions,

such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus,

excellent candidates for the teaching profession declined.

Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked

about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitud

es have formed

over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.
