C One million species face extinction more than ever before in human history,according to a UN report released in May.And humans should be responsible. The researchers based the assessment (on some 15,000 sources considering the causes and results of environmental changes over the past 50 years, The findings are clear and alarming.The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world's plants and animals are at risk of extinction.These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated (animals are at risk.Over 9 percent of the domesticated animal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost. There are some big problems.This rapid decrease of the natural species endangers global food safety and quality of life.For example.about 4 billion people rely on natural medicines produced by the disappearing species.for their health care. The researchers identified five drivers responsible for the bad news.They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use.The change in ecosystems towards agriculture. aquaculture(水产养殖)and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species.It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures harvesting crops,cutting down the trees,hunting and fishing)and climate change,including rising sea levels and increasing extreme-weather events,wildfires.floods and droughts.The final causes of species extinetion are pollution,especially plastics,and the spread of non-native species that can kill native plants and animals.In fact,good ecosystems can promote the growth of species. The researchers say it is time for humans to act.They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life can turn the tables.Whether that is possible is an open question. 28.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

D.Turn the tables upside and down. 折 D The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot.This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole. The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries:China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture,Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't have much difference from the European culture.
