阅读理解
A newly discovered lizard found in the Philippines has made scientists think there might be other never-before-seen creatures on that country’s islands. But scientists say those creatures might never be found because the islands` rain forests are in danger.
The latest lizard was first spotted in 2001 when scientists saw local people of the island catch it for food. Scientists took some pictures of the lizard. Finally scientists caught a lizard themselves to study. They named the new lizard the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor because it was discovered in the islands` Sierra Madre Mountains. The 6.6-foot-long lizard has bright yellow markings that distinguish it from more boring-looking monitors. Its legs are mainly yellow, and its tail is black and yellow.
So how could scientists work in the Philippines` rain forests for years without finding the new lizard They say the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is unlike other lizards and their larger cousin, the Komodo dragon. All of those lizards are meat-eaters. But the new-found lizard eats fruit. That means it never has to come down out of the trees. Its uniquely colored skin, quiet manner, and treetop home helped it remain hidden from scientists` view for many years.
The discovery of the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is making scientists realize that Philippines’ rain forests may hold many undiscovered species. But those species will not be found if the rain forests keep disappearing. Twenty years ago, forests covered about 35 percent of the Philippines’ land. But people have been encroaching on that land and building on it. Today, forests cover less than 25 percent of the country`s land.
The rain forests are a “conservation hot spot” that needs to be protected, scientists say. “I hope we can make the new lizard a ‘poster child’ for conservation of the land,” said one scientist.
1.What is the scientists’ attitude to finding more new creatures in Philippines`rain forests
A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Supportive.
2.How did scientists discover the new lizard
A. They caught one with the help of the locals.
B. The locals gave one to scientists as a gift.
C. They found it from pictures taken by the locals.
D. They noticed it when the locals hunted the lizard.
3.What is special about the new-found lizard according to paragraph 3
A. It is a cruel meat-eater. B. It is the largest lizard in Asia.
C. It spends most time in trees. D. It looks like the Komodo dragon.
4.What does the underlined phrase “encroaching on” mean
A. Invading. B. Protecting C. Maintaining. D. Deserting.
Nature is full of inspiration, and as such, it can easily serve as a reflection for writers. In nature, we might find metaphors for our own human experiences that we never considered before. For example, in literature, rivers are often regarded as symbols of life and the passage of time. 5.________ Of course, its meeting with the ocean represents the end of life.
Over the last century, nature writing has also become a means of support for the environment by calling attention to environmental issues and trying to inspire a greater interest in nature. 6.________ You can use these tips to practice nature writing:
7. ________ The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you always have a notebook and pen at hand to write down your ideas and observations, no matter where you are. Don’t assume that you can just write everything down when you get home.
Observe. When you’re spending time in nature, don’t worry about brainstorming the most poetic way to describe the falling leaves; you can always improve your writing later. 8. ________ Let your thoughts flow freely onto the paper.
Make connections. Yes, nature writing means a lot of writing about nature, but that doesn’t mean your topics of discussion are limited to the sound of the wind and birds singing. If you find that certain memories or thoughts come up while you’re spending time in nature, write those down too. 9. ________
A. Always explore nature writing.
B. Always keep a notebook at hand.
C. This can help you practice building connections.
D. The source of rivers represents the beginnings of life.
E. For now, just focus on recording your own feelings and observations.
F. Nature writing has grown in popularity as a literary form in recent years.
G. Many of our favorite stories describe impressive adventures in the great outdoors
