The group, based in Switzerland, works with governments and experts to protect threatened species. On September 12, the IUCN released its Red List, a list of species at greatest risk of extinction. The list includes 41,415 animals and plants. The IUCN says that habitat destruction, hunting and other causes threaten one in four mammals, one in eight birds and one in three amphibians(两栖动物). Who is to blame? Scientists believe that 99 percent of threatened species are at risk because of human activity. “We are losing animals and plants at a high rate,” says Julia Marton-LefEevre, director general of the IUCN. “We need to change our behavior.” Warmer oceans and over-fishing are changing sea life. This year for the first time corals(珊瑚) made their appearance on the list. The gharial, a crocodile living in India and Nepal, has lost almost 60 percent of its population in the last 10 years. It is a victim（受害者）of habitat destruction. Still, the news is not all bad. Thanks to efforts made to protect it, the Mauritius echo parakeet, a bird once endangered, has seen an increase in its population. “This shows that protection methods can work,” says Marton-LefEevre. “Thats the message we want to send to young people.” In China the new reserve（保护区）itself is part of green efforts that have seen more than 2,400 nature reserves of various kinds being set up, covering more than 15 percent of the nations land area, official figures showed.The countrys natural resources(资源) have benefited from conservation, said Lei Guangchun, director of the nature reserve department of Beijing Forestry University. It is a big increase nowadays compared with other countries. Lei said.The total areas of Chinas natural reserves have covered 1.38 million km2, which accounts for 15.4% of Chinas area, higher than both the world average（平均水平） of 11% and the rate in most developed countries. Li Zhong, an official in charge of the nature reserves office with the State Forestry Administration, thought it was important to increase investment（投资） in such reserves at all levels.59.

The park was named as a World Heritage Site in 1983. Here, visitors can find some of the best examples of karst topography in North America, unique Salt Plains.Banff National Park of CanadaBanffs rich history dates back to 1885, when three railway workers came across hot mineral springs surfacing from deep within the mountains. This discovery led to the establishment of Banff National Park, and marked the beginning of Canadas national parks system. Covering 6,641 square kilometers of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the worlds premier destination spots. Banff is home to a number of outstanding geological and ecological features, including the hot springs and the Castleguard Caves, Canadas longest cave system.St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada Conceived in the 1870s, St. Lawrence Islands is one of Canadasoldest national parks. Located in the scenic 1000 Islands Tourist Area,this tiny jewel has a rich and complex natural human history. Centuriesago, aboriginal peoples referred to it as the “Garden of the Great Spirit”.Today, 24 scenic islands, along with a mainland area at MallorytownLanding, are included in the park. Here, water is the main attraction. Bothpower and sail boaters stop at the parks islands on the way to theSt. Lawrence River.Grasslands National Park of CanadaIt was here Sitting Bull that took refuge after the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. Grasslands National Park is the first national park of Canada to preserve a large part of the mixed prairie grasslands. This magical land of diversity, beauty and history is divided into two blocks.

The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a travel brochureB. a students textbookC. a photograph albumD. an entertainment magazineDThe nuclear leak (核泄漏) at the Fukushima power plant in Japan, which followed the deadly earthquake two weeks ago, has caused an unexpected reaction in China.A sudden panic buying of salt occurred in many areas of ourcountry about a week after the disaster. Salt in these districts was almost bought up overnight. Some sellers wanted to make a fortune by raising the price. The panic buying was caused by two major rumors on the Internet: First, iodized (含碘的) salt can protect against radiation. Second, there might be a fall in sea-salt production following the nuclear pollution of the ocean. Such fears are not new. The same kind of panic happened with vinegar during the SARS outbreak and garlic in the time of the influenza period. How can rumors like this spread in such a large country as China? Chen Fang, a reporter with the China Youth Daily said that many Internet users say there is a “crisis of trust” in todays China. “Experts dont have enough credibility and people dont trust all government announcements, either.” Chen said. However, Chen added that the rumors should not be exaggerated (夸大). Many salt-buyers didnt care; others simply failed to understand what experts and governments were talking about. They just did as their neighbors and friends did. It was a case of the blind following the blind that was the real reason behind the big increase in the demand for salt. On March 20, the Ministry of Commerce said: “The panic buying of salt has stopped and the market is back to normal.” He also said China has enough salt to satisfy demand. Now everything is back to normal, many want to return the salt they bought. But in the view of the Xinhua Daily Telegraph, “It is true that these people paid extra money to buy the salt, but they created the crisis in the first place and caused the price to rise.” The newspaper continued: “So there is no reason why they should get the money back.” Perhaps consumers should keep the salt to remind themselves that often rumors are without foundation.67. What is the best title of the passage?A. Crisis of trustB. Leak causes panicC. A funny rumorD. The blind following the blind68. Which is NOT the reason for which many people buy up iodized salt?A. People are too ready to believe rumors.B. People are afraid of a sea-salt shortage.C. People find it a chance to make a fortune.D. People think it protective to fight against radiation.69. What is the Xinhua Daily Telegraphs attitude towards the salt-buyers?A. They should have only themselves to blame.B. They should be punished for their activity.C. They should trust experts and governments.D. They should return the salt and get the money back.70. What is the tone of the writing?A. Considerate. B. Persuasive. C. Doubtful. D.
