27、 are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today
28、. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of natur
29、e. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why？Because hawks eat miceWith no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people ar
30、e working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, th
31、e number of some animals in danger is growing. 1. What is the best title for the passage? A.Save the AnimalsB. UsefulAnimals C.Laws forAnimalsD.Animals in Danger 2.Animals are important to us mainly because _. A. they give us a source of food B. they are beautiful and lovely C. they keep the balance

33、 animals play an important role in peoples life C. the number of hawks is on the decrease D. many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal B More than two thirds of the worlds polar bears will be wiped out by 2050, according to a shocking new study. By then, scientists say, global
34、warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left. The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who
35、 has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list. Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food.Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to
36、 adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant. The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab, using computer models. So
37、me team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an alltime low. However
38、, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bearhunting trips.

He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list. D. He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list. 6. W
