singers and actors Dhave nothing to do with your confidenceDScientists pinpointed areas of the world where Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) mammals and amphibians(两栖动物) occur.Regions containing the highest concentrations of these species are highlighted as global conservation priorities.The map reveals that high priority conservation areas for mammals and amphibians are different，reflecting the varied evolutionary histories and threats facing the two groups.For mammals，management efforts are best focused in Southeast Asia，southern Africa and Madagascar.For amphibians，Central and southern America are highlighted as priorities.Professor Jonathan Baillie says: “The results of the mapping exercise are alarming.Currently only five percent of the areas weve identified as priorities for EDGE mammals and 15 percent of the EDGE amphibian areas are protected.These areas highlighted should all be global conservation priorities because they contain species that are not only highly threatened but also unique in the way they look，live and behave.These new maps will inform the development of largerscale work to help secure the future of some of the most remarkable species on Earth.” Madagascars blackandwhite ruffed lemur(狐猴) is the largest lemur in the world and is threatened by hunting and the loss of its forest habitat to logging，mining and cutting and burning for agriculture.The Sunda pangolin(穿山甲)，occurs in Southeast Asia and is threatened by illegal hunting for its meat，as well as its scales which are thought to have high medicinal value.Other mammal species occurring in priority areas include the black rhino and western lowland gorilla.Amphibians are facing a terrifying rate of extinction making them the most threatened animals in the world.The Mexican salamander(火蜥蜴)is critically endangered due to urbanization(城市化)，polluted waters，and the introduction of nonnative fish which eat the axolotls young.With the aid of the global map of EDGE amphibians，it will now be possible to concentrate efforts in countries such as，Mexico，Costa Rica and Guatemala where the most distinct and threatened species are found.Professor Jonathan Baillie says：“This is the first global map to take into account species uniqueness as well as threat.Now that weve identified EDGE priority areas for mammals and amphibians we can more effectively continue to ensure their protection.”13Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AMost mammals and amphibians in the world bee extinctBConservation areas should be set up in more and more areasCWorlds most extraordinary species mapped for the first timeDThe most rare and threatened animals in the world were identified14The method the writer uses to develop Paragraphs 4 and 5 is _Aoffering analysesBgiving examplesCproviding explanationsDmaking parisons15It can be known from the passage that _Aconservation areas for mammals and amphibians are almost the sameBhuman

time.But Neil also provides the audience with many moments of grace，as when he recounts how grateful he is for long walks and conversations with friends.This sense of gratitude contributes powerfully
