At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out and begin swirling high up into the air. More and more small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes, a whole river of bats is pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming, millions and millions of them.Sound like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects. “It is magical,” says Jim Kennedy of Bat Conservation International in Austin Texas. “It is one of the most majestic animal movements on the planet.”Every March or April, Mexican free-tailed bats migrate up to 1,000 miles from their winter home in Mexico to this cave, where they raise their young. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one pup. As many as 500 baby bats live crammed（挤）into one square foot(30.48 cubic centimeters) of space , and all those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them cozy and comfortable. If youve ever lost sight of your parents on a crowded playground, you may be wondering how mother bats recognize their children. They use their good sense of smell to tell which pup is theirs when it is time for the babies to nurse.The cave, a quiet place in winter, is full of life all summerand not just of bat residents. Bat waste soon covers the floor, providing food for tiny organisms（生物体）like bacteria and fungi（真菌类）. And then there are the bugs.来源:数理化网When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they are helping humans.

After six weeks, they came back empty-handed.Wang Ding, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is the head of the team, said he has seen a sharp decline in the baiji population over the past few decades. However, he is still unwilling to call the species extinct, and adds, “We will try every effort to save them as long as they are not found to be extinct.”The baiji is shy and nearly blind and is one of the worlds oldest dolphin species. It dates back some 20 million years and is found only in the Yangtze. Its listed as one of the 12 most endangered animal species in the world.Around 400 baiji were believed to be living in the Yangtze until the 1980s. A 1997 survey spotted 13. Two years later their numbers were down to two.The rapid disappearance of this dolphin over the past two decades coincided with（与同时）the rapid expansion of economic development along the river. Research on some dead baiji collected in recent years showed that more than 90 percent of the deaths were caused by human activities.One reason is that over-fishing has cut the dolphins food sources. Dams built along the river and neighboring waterways have also kept them from swimming into and out of their habitats. Meanwhile, waste discharge（排放） has seriously polluted the river. And heavy river traffic has greatly reduced their living space.The disappearance of the baiji would be the first instance of a large aquatic mammal（水生哺乳动物） being driven to extinction since hunting killed off the monk seal （僧海豹）around 1952.46. Baiji dolphins used to live in _ of the Yangtze River.A. upper sections B. middle sectionsC. lower sections D. middle and lower sections47.

C. At most 2. D. 2.50. Which of the following reasons doesnt lead to the rapid disappearance of baiji dolphins?A. Over-fishing. B. Heavy Road Traffic.C. Dams built along the river. D. Waste discharge.DImagine an eco-conscious city where rooftops have been transformed into fertile green gardens. Its a place where every home is equipped with a system that recycles valuable water resources. In this town protecting the planet is a way of life. Thats how Abby Sharp, 14, Wyatt Peery, 13, and Tom Krajnak, 14, saw their city of tomorrow. The vision won the eighth-graders from Bexley, Ohio, first prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition. The annual design competition challenges middle school students to use engineering to deal with issues that affect the earth. This year the competition focused on water conservation. Participants had to come up with ways to improve water use in the home. Kids from 38 middle schools across the country competed in the finals. The event took place from February 17-18 in Washington, D.C. More than 30, 000 students entered the competition. Abby, Wyatt and Tom call their winning city Novo Mondum. The name means “new world” in Latin. Novo Mondum sits on the coast of Iceland. The group chose the spot for its wealth of clean energy resources, such as geothermal（地热的）energy and hydropower. Both sources use the power of nature to generate electricity. Geothermal energy draws heat from deep inside the Earth. Hydropower gets energy from flowing water. “Our city is very globally aware” Abby told TFK. Students team up with a teacher and a volunteer engineer mentor（顾问）to develop their cities. Each group creates a fictional city on SimCity 4 Deluxe, a computer game that allows players to build virtual towns. Then they construct tabletop models of the cities and write essays describing their projects. The models must be made using recycled materials and cost no more than $100 to build.51. Whats the main feature of the city designed by the three winners?A. Making full use of water resources. B. Turning rooftops into green gardens. C. Protecting our home the earth. D. Costing no money to build.52.

The underlined word “hydropower” means _. A. electric power from burning oil B. electric power from burning coalsC. electric power from deep inside the earthD. electric power from moving water55. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The process of developing a Future City.B. How teachers instruct the students in the competition.C. The process of building virtual towns.D.
