閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的(A、B、C和D)四個選項中,選出最佳選項。

  Did unicorns ever really exist?This is a question that re-mains unanswered today.Some believe that,like the dragon,the unicorn never existed and was simply an animal from afairy tale or mythology'.Others believe that the unicorn stillexists in remote regions of the earth,and can be seen only bypeople of exceptional virtue and honesty.There are still others who believethat the unicorn was a type of sacred animalthat came to earth from heaven and eventually became a human in order to survive.Someday,they believe,these humans will become unicorns once again.A final point of view isthat.like the dinosaur,unicorns once existed but became extinct.This theory suggests that because the unicom's horn(角)was used as a type of medicine,humans hunted the ani-mal out of existence.

  Animals such as the narwhal may provide evidence(證據(jù)),or give us a clue,that unicorns once existed on earth.The male narwhal is a huge sea creature that can be found in the Arctic seas.This animal has a single horn,or tusk,that projects from its forehead-similar to that of the unicom.In fact,in the seventeenth century,people often confused(混淆)the narwhal's tusk with the horn of the unicorn.The similarity of the male narwhal to the unicom has led some people to believe that perhaps the unicorn is the narwhal's ancestor,or vice versa(反之亦然).Although narwhals have also been hunted for centuries,they may have escaped extinction for different reasons:they are only found in certain parts of the world,and are hunted by only a relatively small number ofpeople.

Plants and animals usually do not live apart, as in many ways they are important to each other. Most green plants can make their own food. The food of other living things, even the food of meat-eating animals, comes directly or indirectly from green plants. For example, some people eat mutton (羊肉); mutton comes from a goat; the goats eat grass. These steps, or links, make up what is called a food chain. Without green plants, all other living things would in time die of starvation.

Plants help animals in other ways too. They furnish homes and shelter for many animals. Many birds, as you know, build their nests in trees. Deer and many other animals use bushes for shel­ter. And even man depends much upon plants for his shelter. Animals repay some of this debt by helping plants. You may be aware that many insects and some birds do important work for plants by pollinating (授粉) them. You must have also learned how animals often help plants by spreading seeds.

What is waste material for one of these kinds of life is often valuable substance for the other. For example, animals give off carbon dioxide gas when they breathe. When plants make food, they absorb this gas from the air, using the carbon and releasing some of the oxygen back into the air. The oxygen that is released, then, is again supplied to animals. Thus the cycle continues, ani­mals helping plants, and plants helping animals.

All plants and animals have their enemies. Insects eat plants; birds eat insects; other animals kill birds. But here too, animals such as birds and bats help the plants by destroying harmful in­sects. Many plants and animals are helpful to some living things but are harmful to others. Then there are other rules in nature that act as checks and balances. For example, if there are more animals in a certain area than there is food to support them, some of the animals must mi­grate or starve. In either case, the number of animals will be reduced until the balance between animals and the available food supply is restored.

These helps and hindrances (障礙) are constantly going on in the plant and animal world to achieve a balance. As long as one living thing is dependent on another, whenever the scales are tipped (使傾斜), nature takes steps to balance the scales again.

 (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

1.What does the author mean by saying “Plants and animals usually do not live apart”?

2.Besides providing food and shelter for animals, plants can also ______ to help animals to live.

3.“Checks and balances” refers to ______ in the world of animals and plants.

4.What will be the final result if some animals migrate or starve for lack of food?

The Global Heritage Fund organization recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in danger of disappearing. These“On the Verge” places face many threats. They included war, development pressures, stealing and misuse by visitors. The Global Heritage Fund says these places are important because they are records of our human civilization. And the group says countries can learn to use these treasures to help support responsible development in the future.

One such place is the town of Lamu. Lamu was once a very important trading center in East Africa. This ancient city became part of the United Nations Heritage list in 2001. But it still faces threats. For example, a modern port might be built nearby.

Other endangered places include Ani, a city in Turkey, the town of Maluti in India, the ancient city of Ninevah in northern Iraq, the Sans-Souci palace in Haiti, and the former capital of Ayutthaya in Thailand.

The Global Heritage Fund is nonprofit organization based in California. The group says it only focuses on developing countries which often have few resources to protect places of cultural importance. And, other major cultural organizations often pay more attention to protecting places in the developed world. For example, the fund points out the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has forty-five World Heritage places in Italy. UNESCO has forty-two in Spain. But Peru, famous for its ancient Incan buildings, has only nine World Heritage places. Guatemala has only three.

The Global Heritage Fund says its new report tries to place a value on cultural places so that they can also be considered as economic resources. It estimates that by 2025 these places of cultural importance could produce one hundred billion dollars a year in income for developing countries.

1. The underlined part “On the Verge” in Paragraph 1 is used to show the places are _____.

A.popular

B.famous

C.endangered

D.dangerous

2. The town of Lamu faces danger from ________.

A.development pressures

B.stealing

C.misuse by visitors

D.a(chǎn) war

3. We can know that The Global Heritage Fund organization mainly _____.

A.protects places of cultural importance in developing countries

B.protects places of cultural importance in developed countries

C.provide resources to protect cultural places in every country

D.helps people know the importance of protecting cultural treasures

4. Which of the following countries has the fewest World Heritage places?

A.Italy

C.Peru

D.Spain

5. According to The Global Heritage Fund organization, saving the places of cultural

importance_______.

A.has attracted a lot of attention worldwide
