A
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the world's most comprehensive inventory (清单) of the global conservation status of species. It was created in 1964 and has become an important tool for conservationists.
The Red List uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species. There are several categories: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, and Least Concern. When a species is classified as Endangered, it faces a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Red List is updated regularly. The 2016 update brought good news for the giant panda—it was moved from Endangered to Vulnerable. This was a great achievement that showed the success of conservation efforts in China. However, many species remain in danger. The Red List reminds us that we must continue to work to protect our planet's biodiversity.
( )1. When was the IUCN Red List created?
A. In 1961. B. In 1964. C. In 1970. D. In 2016.
( )2. The Red List is used to ______.
A. count the number of species B. evaluate the extinction risk of species
C. protect all endangered animals D. create national parks
( )3. What category is less serious than "Endangered"?
A. Extinct. B. Vulnerable. C. Critically Endangered. D. Extinct in the Wild.
( )4. What happened to the giant panda in 2016?
A. It became extinct. B. It was moved from Endangered to Vulnerable.
C. It was moved from Vulnerable to Endangered. D. It was removed from the Red List.
( )5. What does the Red List remind us?
A. That all species are safe. B. That we should stop conservation efforts.
C. That we must continue to protect biodiversity. D. That the Red List is not important.

Last summer, my family and I visited the Giant Panda National Park in Sichuan Province. I had always wanted to see pandas in the wild. Although I had seen them in zoos before, seeing them in their natural habitat was a completely different experience.
The park is huge. It is three times as large as Yellowstone National Park in the United States. We walked along the paths and saw bamboo forests stretching as far as the eye could see. After a few hours, we finally spotted a panda. It was sitting in a bamboo grove, happily chewing on bamboo shoots. It looked so peaceful and content.
Our guide told us that the park was created to protect pandas and their habitats. She said that the efforts of the government and the local people have helped panda populations recover. I felt proud that China has made such great progress in protecting this national treasure.
This trip made me realize how important it is to protect ecosystems. The panda is not just a cute animal—it is a symbol of our commitment to environmental protection.

Every year, more species are added to the list of endangered animals. Some people may ask: why should we care? The answer is that the loss of any species affects the entire ecosystem.
First, every species plays a role in its ecosystem. When one species disappears, it can affect other species that depend on it. This can cause a chain reaction that damages the whole system. For example, if a predator disappears, the population of its prey may increase too much, which then affects the plants that the prey eats.
Second, many species have the potential to benefit humans. Many medicines come from plants and animals. If we allow species to become extinct, we may lose opportunities for future scientific discoveries.
Third, we have a moral responsibility to protect other living things. As the most intelligent species on Earth, we should use our power to protect, not destroy, the natural world.
In conclusion, protecting endangered species is not just about saving animals. It is about protecting the health of our planet and ensuring a sustainable future for all.
( )11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Endangered species are not important. B. We should protect endangered species for several reasons.
C. Only pandas need protection. D. It is too late to save endangered species.
( )12. According to the passage, what happens when one species disappears?
A. Nothing changes. B. Other species may be affected.
C. The ecosystem becomes stronger. D. The population of all species increases.
( )13. Why are species important for medicine?
A. They are used to make tools. B. Many medicines come from plants and animals.
C. They are used for food. D. They are used for building.
( )14. The word "moral" in paragraph 4 most probably means ______.
A. 法律的 B. 道德的 C. 经济的 D. 政治的
( )15. What does the author suggest in the conclusion?
A. Protecting species is a waste of time. B. We should only protect pandas.
C. Protecting endangered species helps ensure a sustainable future. D. We should not worry about extinct species.

Success Story: The Giant Panda
The giant panda is a symbol of conservation success. In the 1970s, there were only about 1,000 pandas in the wild. Today, the number has increased to about 1,864. This achievement is the result of decades of effort by the Chinese government and conservation organisations.
One key factor in the panda's recovery is the establishment of protected areas. The Giant Panda National Park, which covers over 22,000 square kilometres, is a major step forward. It connects 67 existing panda reserves and provides a safe habitat for pandas to live and breed.
Another important factor is cooperation with local communities. Farmers have been encouraged to return farmland to forests. This reduces human-panda conflict and creates more space for pandas. Education programmes have also helped raise awareness about panda protection.
In 2016, the IUCN Red List reclassified the panda from "endangered" to "vulnerable". This does not mean pandas are safe. They still face threats from habitat loss and climate change. Continued efforts are needed to ensure the survival of this beloved species.
