A
Every summer,the Serengeti plains of Africa are worth visiting.Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.
In the month of November,polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic,as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay.The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist,for here they hunt for seals (海豹).
The Great Bustard,one of the heaviest flying birds,migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds.Unluckily,these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.
We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures.Since 1979,ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent.What does this mean for polar bears They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time,which delays their search for food.As a result,bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were.Besides,smaller bears also produce weaker babies,and their chances of survival are at risk.In the plains of Africa,migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food,just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.
In an unusual step,experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals,fish and birds.The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was held in Quito,Ecuador.For the first time,900 experts attended the conference,and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.
What does getting on a protected list mean Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal’s migratory path.Only one animal did not make the list.The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.
1.Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage
A.We don’t know which countries it lives in.
B.It isn’t a migratory animal.
C.Experts were not interested in this animal.
D.It was not traveling long distances for food.
2.The writer writes this passage aiming to .
A.let us know about the animals
B.prevent the rare animals from dying out
C.inform us of the effects of climate change
D.draw our attention to helping the migratory animals
3.What can we learn from the passage
A.The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds.
B.The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was.
C.In the 1970s,ice sheets went down by 30 percent.
D.120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.

Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans
◆Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do.When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔),their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense.This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows,eating only the tastiest grasses,experts say.
◆A whale says thanks
In 2011,a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it.Afterward,in an hour-long display of thanks,the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.
◆Pandas like to be naughty
Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda,except maybe a human baby In fact,baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies.They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs.Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw or ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.
◆A cat honors its owner
Paper towels,and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo,a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat,has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2011.Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old,and the two formed an inseparable bond.After Renzo passed away,Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery,and now “stands guard” at the grave for hours at a time.
