A new United Nations (UN) report says one fifth of the world’s migratory (迁徙的) animals are at risk of disappearing. Animals that migrate move from one area to another at different times of the year.
The threats (威胁) the animals face include habitat loss, illegal hunting, pollution and natural disasters like climate change. Many kinds of migratory animals, including songbirds, sea turtles, whales, sharks and others, move to different environments as the seasons change.
The UN report says about 44 percent of migratory species around the world are decreasing in population. In addition, about one in five of 1,200 species watched by the UN are at risk of becoming endangered, or completely disappearing.
These are species that move around the globe. They move to feed and breed and also need sites to stop along the way. Any habitat loss or other threats during their trips can make the animal populations fall. “Migration is important to some species. If you cut the migration, you’re going to kill the species,” said an expert.
The researchers examined existing data, including information from the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. The list identifies wildlife across the world facing threats at present.
The report was presented at a meeting of the UN’s Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Attendees of the gathering are examining suggestions for conservation measures. They are also working to identify new species of concern. Susan Lieberman is vice president of the international policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, a non-governmental organisation. She said, “One country alone cannot save any of these species.”
The report found habitat loss affected up to 75 percent of the species studied. The report said this shows a big need for more connectivity between separated ecosystems. It pushes governments to take steps to avoid harming habitats and migration paths when building dams, pipelines or wind power equipment.
( ) 14. What does the UN report mainly show
A. Most animals are disappearing.
B. Migratory species are increasing.
C. Most species face natural disasters.
D. Migratory animals face some threats.
( ) 15. What does migration mean to some species according to the expert in Paragraph 4
A. A matter of life and death.
B. Losing their competitors.
C. A lack of food and movement.
D. Destroying their habitats.
( ) 16. What can we infer from Susan Lieberman’s words in Paragraph 6
A. It is difficult to identify migratory animals.
B. It is impossible to protect migratory animals.
C. Rescuing migratory species depends on policies.
D. Rescuing migratory species requires global efforts.
( ) 17. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Human Activities Are Affecting Wildlife
B. International Meetings Push Animal Protection
C. Some Migratory Animals Are at Risk of Dying Out
D. Many More Animals Are Regarded as Endangered Species
C
I’m an ecologist studying the cultural value and sustainability of wildlife use by traders and traditional healers in South Africa. I am also a traditional healer myself and work with conservationists to protect wildlife.
In southern Africa, traditional healers use plant and animal materials, known as umuthi (means medicine), that might come from endangered species such as lions and pangolins (穿山甲). This can create tension between umuthi traders and conservation professionals. I think a lot about the balance to be struck between cultural identity, healing traditions and the urgent need for wildlife preservation. I meet with traditional healers and umuthi traders in markets in Johannesburg. Behind me, dried umuthi lines the walls in glass jars and my hands are arranged to form one of the greetings of a traditional healer.
Being a healer as well as a PhD candidate at the University of Cape Town brings me unique insights/opinions. Often, conservation objectives clash with deeply rooted cultural practices. I try to bridge those two fields and build trust between healers, tribal authorities, traders and conservationists — a challenging endeavour in the light of historical research practices.
Practices that bring these groups together, such as ones that promote home-grown medicinal plants, have had promising outcomes. I talk to communities about our conservation laws and how they could be changed to allow sustainable harvesting of natural products. I want to make communities become administrators of their environment. After all, if plants and animals go extinct, then that threatens the lives of traders and healers alike.
My double role as a healer and researcher creates its own complexities (复杂性). Yet, I remain optimistic that harmonious coexistence is achievable. My purpose is to enlarge the voices of traditional healers, respect their wisdom, and preserve the balance between culture and conservation for generations to come.
( ) 18. What can we know about umuthi
A. It must be very expensive.
B. It can cure many kinds of diseases.
C. It’s made from several materials.
D. It’s been accepted by conservation professionals.
( ) 19. What does the underlined word “clash” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Conflict. B. Combine. C. Compete. D. Challenge.
( ) 20. How does the author help different parties solve problems
A. By combining different groups together.
B. By suggesting growing medical plants.
C. By advising government to make laws.
D. By making healers help traders.
( ) 21. What does the author think of his work as a double role
A. Easy. B. Convenient. C. Encouraging. D. Worthwhile.
D
Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report. The report’s authors are calling for urgent action to restore the natural world.
The Living Planet Report (LPR) is produced every two years by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London. A report released on October 13, 2022 shows that almost 70% of the world’s monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018. The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world. Data was collected from almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species.
Although the average global loss of wildlife is 69%, the rate is greater in the global south. Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970. Across the world, the biggest drop was in freshwater populations of wildlife — including almost 1,400 species of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles—which have decreased by 83%.
The report identifies several causes for wildlife loss, including hunting, farming, the loss of forests, pollution and climate change. However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment.
Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures “terrifying”, and said “we need to help nature recover and not simply halt its loss.” In December 2022, world leaders are meeting in Montreal for the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP 15. The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature. “Government leaders must step up at COP 15,” said Lambertini. “The world is watching.”
( ) 22. What does the author mainly want to show by listing the numbers in the first three paragraphs
A. The seriousness of wildlife loss worldwide.
B. The causes of the urgent situation.
C. The detailed process of the research.
D. The drop in freshwater populations of wildlife.
( ) 23. According to the report, what is a possible solution to population decline of wildlife
A. Stop hunting and farming.
B. Don’t permit the production of wildlife food.
C. Offer legal protection of natural environment.
D. Replace the fossil fuels with renewable energy.
( ) 24. What does the underlined word “halt” mean in the last paragraph
A. Accept. B. Fear. C. Suffer. D. Stop.
( ) 25. What is Lambertini’s attitude towards wildlife loss
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Satisfied.

Don’t buy things made of horns, ivory and others that endanger animals. This saves the animals and their habitats. Even when travelling, be careful when buying souvenirs. Some could have been made from endangered animal products like ivory. It’s important to research the product before you can make the decision to buy.
Drive carefully
This is one of the easiest things you can do to join in animal protection. 30 . This will help reduce the road danger to endangered wildlife. Reducing car speed can reduce the animal accidents as much as possible.
A. Buy less products B. Avoid harmful black market products C. Here are what you can do to save endangered species D. When driving near forests or animal reserves, don’t go fast E.

【One possible version】
Good morning! I’m honoured to stand here to deliver my speech themed “Save the Wildlife”.
As we all know, our planet is our beautiful home, where wildlife and humans should have lived together harmoniously. However, more and more wildlife is faced with extinction, whose habitats are becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built. Poaching also puts them at risk of extinction. Many precious species are disappearing at an alarming rate.
We must take action to protect them. Firstly, we should support wildlife conservation organisations. Secondly, do not purchase products made from wild animals. Let’s join hands to ensure a harmonious coexistence with these precious creatures and a sustainable future for our planet.
That’s all. Thank you!

The report identifies several causes for wildlife loss, including hunting, farming, the loss of forests, pollution and climate change. However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment.
Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures “terrifying”, and said “we need to help nature recover and not simply halt its loss.” In December 2022, world leaders are meeting in Montreal for the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP 15. The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature. “Government leaders must step up at COP 15,” said Lambertini. “The world is watching.”

【One possible version】
Good morning! I’m honoured to stand here to deliver my speech themed “Save the Wildlife”.
As we all know, our planet is our beautiful home, where wildlife and humans should have lived together harmoniously. However, more and more wildlife is faced with extinction, whose habitats are becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built. Poaching also puts them at risk of extinction. Many precious species are disappearing at an alarming rate.
We must take action to protect them. Firstly, we should support wildlife conservation organisations. Secondly, do not purchase products made from wild animals. Let’s join hands to ensure a harmonious coexistence with these precious creatures and a sustainable future for our planet.
That’s all. Thank you!
