Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment.

The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.

By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period. Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds. The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鶚) and corncrake (秧雞). All of these birds are subject to conservation action.

The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (蘇格蘭雷鳥). These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.

Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news. It shows just what can be achieved. What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”

Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc. However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”

The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year. The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The decline of widespread birds is not worrying for the UK.

B. The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.

C. Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.

D. Half of common birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.

We can learn from the passage that Dr David Noble      .

A. hopes that conservation organisations will change the way they work

B. is quite disappointed with the result of the new assessment

C. is losing confidence in conservation organizations’ action

D. has high hopes for the increase in bird population in Britain

Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery's words?

A. The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.

B. The UK should share their experience with other countries.

C. What conservation organisations do is far from satisfactory.

D. The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of common birds.

The passage is most likely to be found in a book about      .

A. popular science        B. historical events

C. nature              D. society

The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people      .

A. some good ways to protect rare birds

B. the differences between rare birds and common birds

C. the number of rare birds has increased over the last decade

D. some widespread birds in the UK are in great need of help

When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses． This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect．
The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty" Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964． Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work． As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed （刺） by a man later identified as Winston Moseley． Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help． The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police．
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans． As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments．
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect． First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility． Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present． The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways． When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate．
Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous． In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered．
【小題1】The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because          a woman surnamed Genovese．  

A．it somehow caused the murder of
B．its discovery resulted from the murder of
C．it was actually discovered by
D．it always makes people think of
【小題2】Genovese was murdered         ．  
A．while she was going outB．in her apartment
C．halfway homeD．near her apartment
【小題3】 Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help?
A．They believed in the bystander effect．
B．They thought someone else might help her．
C．They didn't think they should help．
D．They didn't think she needed help．
【小題4】 Before deciding to offer help, observers may         , according to the psychologists． 
A．wait for sort of a signal
B．hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurt
C．want to be sure it's appropriate to react
D．wonder if the victim is worth helping
【小題5】The article seems to suggest that, if there had been         observers, Genovese might not have been murdered．   
A．noB．fewerC．moreD．braver

Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna（金槍魚）faces disappearance unless certain action is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi and sandwiches with tuna worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.
The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as 700kg. A good one can fetch as much as £ 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets. “In my lifetime, we’ve brought this big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean,” said Barbara Block of Stanford University in California. “The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific information we’ve ever had to manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start to act actively to make sure of the future of this fish. ”
Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There are fewer and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have pushed further offshore in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna—in the Mediterranean and Japan—have been under increasing pressure for years. The International Commission on the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since 1969．There are two populations: a western one that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger, eastern population. Although catches are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000 in the east, no one knew whether the limits worked.
So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to depths of more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement, body and water temperatures. “There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna—protect them in their production grounds and in their feeding grounds,” Prof. Block said. “This will need immediate action in both the central Atlantic, to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna produce as separate populations. ”
【小題1】 The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _______.

A．in the AtlanticB．in the Pacific
C．in the Gulf of MexicoD．in the Mediterranean
【小題2】Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A．The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.
B．The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.
C．Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.
D．Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.
【小題3】According to Professor Block, tuna can be saved by ______.
A．finding a new way to protect them
B．controlling the catches of them
C．reducing the population to eat them
D．protecting them in their production and feeding grounds
【小題4】The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tuna
B．call for action to save the bluefin tuna
C．warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymore
D．help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tuna
