59.A research paper recently reported that the Chinese paddlefish (中華鱘)—one of the world's largest freshwater fish—has been declared extinct.
Scientists say the Chinese paddlefish and its close relatives have been around for at least 200 million years.The species,reaching up to seven meters in length,survived unimaginable changes,such as the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs.But there's one phenomenon this ancient species,sometimes called the "panda of the Yangtze",could not survive humans.
Their huge size and plentiful flesh made them a popular target for fishermen and a welcome addition to inner tables in Chjye.aia.In the 1970s,25 tons of paddlefish were harvested per year on average.
But the construction of the Gezhouba Dam on the Yangtze forever changed the Yangtze River habitat of paddlefish,because it was constructed without a fish ladder or sideway and cut off the paddlefish from their only breeding (繁殖) grounds upstream.Populations of the fish continued to decrease after the completion of the dam in 1981,but nobody had yet figured out how terrible the situation wjye.ai.As is often the case,there can be a significant delay between major disturbances and their consequence.The researchers say the fish had become functionally extinct by 1993,meaning there were not enough fish to meaningfully reproduce.
Ms Pan is an ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia.She told The Associated Press the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was "a huge loss" for nature.She said the development confirms that the Yangtze River is experiencing major environmental damage.
"The ecosystem of the Yangtze River is close to its breaking point due to human activity in past decades," Pan said."The paddlefish's extinction should serve as a wake-up call to protect other freshwater species.Moving forward,we need to balance the needs of humans with the needs of life in rivers and seas.Humans should not live alone on this planet."

60.Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year.This annual movement is called migration.They migrate to find food,seek a partner,or search for warm weather.One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
Every autumn,millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey.Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico.However,until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun.These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go.Eventually,it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.Its population has crashed by as much as 90 percent in the last few years.Sadly,human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falljye.aig.In many of the places where the butterfly can be found,people are destroying the natural environment.They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
However,the research on the monarch's behavior has led to a greater awareness of this creature.People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.If this works,there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.The more we know about this lovely creature,the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
(1)Which is not the purpose of animals' migration according to the text?
A.To search for food.
B.To look for a partner.
C.To breed young babies.
D.To stay away from cold weather.
(2)What mainly caused the decrease in the number of the monarch butterflies?
A.Weather changes.
B.Human activity.
C.Trees being cut down.
D.The long migration every year.
(3)What can we know from the text?
A.All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.
B.The monarch has the ability to identify the time of day.
C.The population of the monarch is decreasing rapidly every year.
D.No one knows how the monarch butterflies make their way to their destinations.
(4)What does the last paragraph imply about the research?
A.It is quite encouraging.
B.It is fairly complex.
C.It is very unacceptable.
D.It is rather useless.組卷:1引用:1難度:0.5
