The aim: to decide whether the walrus is an endangered species(物种). In 1990, biologists counted 201,039 walruses in the Arctic Ocean.Now, over 20 years later, it seems there are fewer. After three years of counting, the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that there are only 15,164 walruses in the area. But, scientists say, Theyve not finished counting. Were still working on the final population estimate, said Suzann. She is a wildlife biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Endangered Species? Whats a possible reason for the lower walrus count? Brendan Cummings, a spokesperson forthe Center for Biological Diversity (多样性), thinks many walruses are dying. He believes globalwarming is melting the ice in the waters between Alaska and Russia. Thats the area where mostwalruses live. However, they cant live without ice. But other scientists arent so sure that the walruses are dying out. The US Fish and WildlifeService biologist Doug Bum said, We realized we were missing a lot of walrus groups. So thewalrus count goes on. The counting hasnt been easy. Scientists sometimes have to guess the numberof walruses that are underwater. US law requires scientists to count the walruses every three years. Then, if the mammals (哺乳动物) turn out to be an endangered species, they will be counted every year.66. Whats the purpose of counting walruses in the Arctic Ocean?. A. To study the living habits of walruses. B. To show the bad environment of the earth. C.

Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.1The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second languageB. mans ability of learning a second languageC. that language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study2The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner3 We may know from the scientific findings that _.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad
