It was after midnight in Quito when Stella de la Torre and I went to see the smallest monkey in the world.
The world's smallest monkey is called the pygmy marmoset (侏儒狨猴), and it is, literally, very small. Despite the tiny size, pygmy marmosets have developed a complex survival system based on talking to each other constantly. Infants are often born in pairs and nursed by their mothers, carried around by their fathers, and watched over by their siblings. They live in family groups of around half a dozen until the younger adults go out to find a mate. Different groups have distinct dialects. As infants, pygmy marmosets babble in the way human babies do, both to get their parents' attention and to learn the group dialect. They do not often like to eat fruit, but they do hunt insects, and as they hunt, they chatter to each other through the trees.
De la Torre, an ecologist at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, in Ecuador, has recorded their methods of communication. Their brief, high-pitched alarm whistle sounds almost like a cricket or a bird. Amid the constant roar of rainforest life, it is not easy to tell apart, but de la Torre has developed sensible ears over a lifetime of study. She also helped categorize the pygmy marmoset into two distinct species: Cebuella pygmaea and Cebuella niveiventris.
Within those ranges, pygmy marmosets only live in certain places. Their habitats are known as gallery forests. Gallery forests' proximity (靠近) to water makes them attractive to people who want to build houses with yards that slope down to the river. This development, along with agriculture and the oil industry, has slowly carved into the places where pygmy marmosets live. Over the past decade, de la Torre has watched her research subjects disappear. Ecuador has been making ongoing efforts to protect the remaining monkey populations and pygmy marmosets are on Ecuador's red list of endangered species. However, several specialists disagree about the status of their populations in other countries.
1.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?( )
A.The threats pygmy marmosets face in the wild.
B.The physical appearance of the pygmy marmoset.
C.The complex survival system of the pygmy marmoset.
D.The differences between the pygmy marmoset and other species.
2.What does the underlined word “categorize” mean in paragraph 3?( )
A.Move. B.Reduce. C.Clear. D.Classify.
3.Which of the following can best describe de la Torre?( )
A.Careless and warm-hearted. B.Responsible and observant.
C.Cautious and modest. D.Strict and supportive.
4.What is Ecuador's attitude towards the pygmy marmoset's status?( )
A.Concerned. B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic. D.Negative.
B篇
With a relatively small population, pandas are unable to survive in the bamboo forest. Habitat loss is the main reason why the number of wild pandas is falling. And while around 54% of its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still likely to be destroyed by natural disasters, such as wildfires. To protect wild pandas' habitat, the Digital Panda System, co-developed by the Sichuan government and Chinese technology giant HUAWEI, was used effectively across forests and grasslands in Sichuan Province.
The unique reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, informing fire departments, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology, facial recognition, could help identify individual pandas more correctly. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but this system can use specific methods to make out the differences.
The system collects data(数据)from 596 cameras and satellites. Researchers can use this data to track and study wildlife, as well as detect wildfire locations. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar powered, which means it doesn't require cables (电缆). The system assists 140,000 forest keepers and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it discovered 651 wildfire locations, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year.
Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers a newly established Giant Panda National Park in Sichuan. The park is home to most of China's 1,800 wild pandas—along with over 8,000 animals and plant species. In the future, the Digital Panda System could be applied nationwide, creating more success stories for other endangered species.
1.Why was the Digital Panda System developed?( )
A.To monitor the health of pandas.
B.To record the population of wild animals.
C.To predict natural disasters in Sichuan Province.
D.To protect endangered species from habitat loss.
2.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the reporting system?( )
A.Its main applications. B.Its unique design.
C.Methods of using it. D.Inspiration for creating it.
3.What is the purpose of listing figures in paragraph 3?( )
A.To prove the effectiveness of the system.
B.To show the various applications of the system.
C.To describe the data collection process of the program.
D.To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the system.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?( )
A.Human activities cause pandas to lose their home.
B.Smart technology is helping to save endangered animals.
C.HUAWEI has taken the lead in facial recognition technology.
D.The Digital Panda System has protected many species' habitat.

Four Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important
As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials often through wild animals. These wild animals are important to our existence. Sadly, they are becoming extinct at an alarming rate. We need to change this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive (蓬勃发展) again. 1.___ Here are some reasons why wild animals are so important to the world at large.
Wild animals keep balance in ecosystems.
2.___ If any part is threatened or becomes extinct, this has a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem, sending shock waves through the environment. For ecosystems to survive and perhaps even thrive, we must protect all of our wildlife.
Diversity (多样性) means healthier ecosystems and healthier wild animals.
When there is a wildlife issue, you'll often hear the term biodiversity, which refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. 3.___ Why do we consider this important? A wide variety of animals mean greater productivity and better health. If there are fewer animal species, a disease that affects any species spreads faster and more effectively.
4.___
All of the food that we eat comes from an animal or a plant. Living without various food sources causes our nutrition (营养) to suffer. Protecting wildlife and its natural habitats strengthens food safety for humans around the world.
Wildlife helps medical research.
Wild animals have helped us find important medicines that help with many diseases. 5.___ Many medical systems like traditional Chinese medicines still rely on herbs and spices, but even Western medicines have made great progress with wildlife research.
(
A.All living things are interconnected.
B.Healthy ecosystems mean a lot of diversity.
C.Or we will lose these animals to future generations.
D.People worldwide depend on wildlife for their snack.
E.Wildlife provides important nutrients for the human race.
F.The human race has always turned to nature for medicine.
G.We should notice the influence caused by wildlife on culture.
