We can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least I million animal species disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of terrible news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes are sold at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behaviour not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe no buying, no killing. First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively.

This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cant communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent (独立). People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）What is the passage mainly about? A . The importance of learning English.B . The benefits of learning another language.C . How to learn foreign languages well.D .

If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.Its never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning. If you dont know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but youll need to be patient.Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface).Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). You havent got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight.Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick.Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.Keep doing this until you have made several marks.The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.That point is south of where you are.Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.（1）To find the direction, we have to be patient probably because _.A . it is not easy to find a proper stickB . it is not easy to position the stickC . it takes hours to make the marksD . it takes hours to mark the map（2）The passage would probably be most helpful to _.A . those who draw mapsB . those who get lostC . those who make compassesD . those who do experiments（3）Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?A .
