三.阅读理解(本题共15小题,每题1分,共15分.)
A
1970 was World Conservation( 保护 ) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped something could be done.
Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 plants and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed(毁坏) by modern man and his science. We are changing the earth, the air and the water and everything around us. We can’t live without these things. If things go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do?” More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our world. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the USA a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a song called “No one’s going to change our world”. It was made by Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve tigers, elephants and pandas on the earth.

Animals, including insects, don’t have a ‘language’ like ours. They do not ‘talk’ to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating(交流) with each other.
Can you see the rabbit’s tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of ‘language’. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look powerful(有力的). This warns other animals. When a bee(蜜蜂) has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot ‘tell’ the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals ‘say’ things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like“Oh” or “Ah” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
