25、ecent six-week study by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) tracked 7,122 online auctions and advertisements involving the illegal trade in wild animals and found that the Internet is posing a major challenge to wildlife conservation, with China ranked third after the United States and
26、the United Kingdom among 11 countries investigated with respect to volume of illegal trade.“Among the online auctions and ads, 544 took place in China. More than half of the auctions and ads are p osted on the T website,” the investigation said. The prevalent wildlife trade violations identified in
27、China during the investigation concerned elephant ivory, followed by reptiles, especially sea turtles. The two accounted for nearly 90 percent of the total advertisements observed, according to the investigation.“The online trade of wild animals is developing into an urgent problem, because the Inte
28、rnet provides a hidden stage for illegal traders,” Meng Xianlin, deputy director of the Endangered Species Import and Export Management Office, said on Thursday.Early in 2005, the State Forestry Administration (SFA), an agency tasked with implementing wildlife controls, said,” it will crack down on
29、online trading of endangered species.” In order to crack down on online animal sales, the IFAW and T jointly launched a month-long campaign on Thursday.T will put a notice on its homepage to encourage people to inform it of the sale of wildlife. People who report illegal activities can get IFAW gift
30、s and wildlife conservation information.“It is extremely satisfying to see the results of our investigation get the attention of society,” Ge Rui, IFAWs Asia regional director, said. “Money earned in the illegal international trade in wildlife is second only to the international trade in illegal d r

The Criticism against Online TradeCSometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need la
37、rge, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads？Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch en
38、gineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to th
39、e other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which seve
40、ral heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through t
41、he heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.来源:65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the
42、 first two paragraphs？_A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.来源:C. The Dutch engineers system has been widely used.D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.66.For what purpose are the diving pipes used？_来源:A. To absorb heat fro
43、m the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D. To carry heat down below the surface.67.From the last paragraph we can learn that_.A. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterB. the system can do more than warming up the buildingC. the exchangers will pick up
44、heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer68.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？_A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building in summer.D. How
45、 the system collects heat in spring and autumn.DHave you ever wondered why birds sing？Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.来源:Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing
46、most of the time for a very diff erent reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is？ A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other famil
47、ies of the same species(物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can
