阅读理解
Army ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin.
They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the
move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build
a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed
very quickly, in seconds.
Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when
studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge
would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).
However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army
ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the
number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using
the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target
area.
Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest
distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant
bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.
Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants
involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon
as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for
other jobs.
47．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration. B．Their distribution.
C．Their living habits. D．Their hunting targets.
48．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?
A．It becomes longer constantly.
B．It keeps unchanged once built.
C．It achieves the shortest distance.
D．It is adjusted according to the needs.
49．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Reduce. B．Calculate. C．Neglect. D．Judge.
50．What is the writing purpose of the text ?
A．To stress the importance of cooperation.
B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.
C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.
D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.

Many animal populations seem to be decreasing sharply. 51 It is America’s native wood stork (木
鹳).
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered
species after its population dropped to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would
be completely wiped out by 2000. 52 The Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting (移除) of the
wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?
53 The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the
Everglades were being destroyed by development. In 1987, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John
Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia, as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the
Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork. 54 It
has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.”
The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred
types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again. If the wood stork is
delisted, it will remain protected by other laws. 55
A．Today, it numbers 10, 000 mating pairs.B．However, one species is moving in the opposite direction.
C．The success is in part down to the flexibility of the wood stork.
D．It helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast.
E．The birds have adapted to new nesting areas and enlarged their colonies.
F．It serves as an indicator species for restoration of the Everglades ecosystem.
G．A monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.

The Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in southwest China has long been known 86 its
biodiversity. While the jungles there provide rich sources of food and water, they also pose life threats to animals
living there. The local Asian elephants, for instance, might fail 87 (survive) in the wilderness in cases of
severe injury or illness if no one came to their rescue in time.
The Asian elephants, 88 are under first-class national protection in China, are 89 (main)
found in Yunnan. Wildlife conservation workers have devoted themselves to improving the welfare of 90
species. In November 2008, they established the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center. The facility now
functions as a shelter for wild Asian elephants across the region. With the help of a 91 (profession)
elephant caregiver team, elephants 92 (save) by the Center have recovered well. Every day, the caregivers

so that they can re-familiarize themselves with the wild.
What the elephant caregivers are doing 94 (be) a microcosm (缩影) of China’s environmental
commitment. Through the country’s increasing conservation efforts, the wild Asian elephant population in Yunnan
95 (rise) from about 150 to over 300 in the last 30 years.
