21、March 3 is World Wildlife Day, an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful diversity of plants and animals on earth. This day also marks the 50th anniversary of an international agreement between governments to ensure the trading of wild animals and plants—which is estimated to be worth billions of US dollars globally—doesn’t threaten species’ survival.
The voluntary deal, called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora(CITES), provides varying degrees of protection to more than 37,000 species globally. The text of the convention was agreed at a meeting on March 3,1973 and it came into force in 1975. It provides a framework for 184 participants to ensure sustain-able trading of wild species for products such as food, fur and medicines.
“Without CITES, we’d lack a vital mechanism to turn off the ever-flowing and sorrowful deal of species driven by market demand,” said Abigail Entwistle at conservation charity in a press release.
The mountain gorilla is one species benefiting from a total trade ban under CITES in partner ship with this charity. Since this began, the population size has risen fourfold to more than 1,000 individuals. The pygmy hippos(侏儒河马)are also protected by CITES. They are found in the forests and swamps of West Africa, with most living in Liberia. Recently, conservationists have confirmed that pygmy hippos have a wider distribution than previously thought.
Grenadines pink rhino iguana(犀牛鬣蜥)is a striking species, which is threatened by hunting, because it still lacks CITES protection. Since 2016, the charity has been working with local and international partners to protect this species. The important point is that it works. The charity says“a CITES listing would be the logical next step”to better protect its survival.
【1】What is the purpose of the international agreement?
A．To earn profits for humans.
B．To ensure the diversity of wildlife.
C．To lower the trade barrier between countries.
D．To keep a balance between trade and species’ survival.
【2】What does Abigail Entwistle say about CITES?
A．It reveals reasons for species declining.
B．It shows mechanism of conservation charity.
C．It contributes to species conservation on earth.
D．It drives people to research on species’ survival.
【3】How does the author show the significance of CITES?
A．By providing examples.
B．By making a summary.
C．By drawing comparisons.
D．By explaining a concept.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to the protection of Grenadines pink rhino iguana?
A．Optimistic.
B．Objective.
C．Doubtful.
D．Unclear.
22、Of Special Interest to Freshman
Freshman Seminars are small classes just for freshmen, with some of York’s most distinguished faculty members. Some seminars provide an introduction to a particular field of study; others take an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) approach to a variety of topics. All seminars provided a friendly environment for developing relationships with faculty members and peers. | STARS (Science, Technology, and Research Scholars) provides undergraduates of every year with an opportunity to combine research, course-based study, and development of mentorship skills. The program offers research opportunities and support to students historically underrepresented in the fields of natural science and quantitative reasoning, such as racial and ethnic minorities, women, and the physically challenged. More than 100 students each year participate in STARS, during the academic year or over the summer months. |
Directed Studies is a selective freshman interdisciplinary program focusing on Western civilization that includes three yearlong courses —literature, philosophy, and historical and political thought — in which students read the foundational works of the Western tradition. | Perspectives on Science and Engineering is a lecture and discussion course for about 75 selected freshmen who have exceptionally strong backgrounds in science or mathematics. The yearlong course explores a broad range of topics, exposes students to questions at the frontiers of science, and connects the first-year students to York’s Scientific community. |
Academic Advising is a collective effort by the residential colleges, academic departments and various offices connected to York University Dean’s office. Students’ primary academic advisors are their residential college deans, to whom they may always turn for academic and personal advice. The deans live in residential colleges and supervise the advising networks in the college. Students also have a freshman advisor who is a York faculty member or administrator affiliated with their advisees’ residential college. Each academic department has a director of undergraduate studies (DUS) who can discuss with students the department’s course offerings and requirements for majors. | Science and Engineering Undergraduate Research York is one of the world’s foremost research universities. Independent engineering research and design projects and scientific research are an essential part of undergraduate science education at York. Science students can begin conducting original research as early as the freshman year. Ninety-five percent of undergraduate science majors engaged in research with faculty mentors. |

23、 We’ve all been there, running for a ls or train on a cold morning only to find that our nose is also running! Grab some tissues and learn the science behind the phenomenon known as “skier’s nose.”
A nose like a running tap in winter is business as usual for many people. People call it “skier’s nose". In a study, researchers found that 96 percent of people surveyed reported experiencing some degree of the condition.
Apparently, getting a runny nose in cold weather is a bodily defense reaction. That' s because the nose has two main purposes: 1) to filter bacteria so they don’t reach our lungs, and 2)to warm and humidify(加湿) the air before it reaches our lungs. Our airways are lined with tiny hairs known as cilia In the nose, these cilia wave back and forth to remove our mucus (黏液)so that bacteria can be blocked out. In cold weather the cilia are slowed. When cilia slow, bacteria remain in place and multiply, and this is why people get sick in winter. Not that the nose isn't trying to keep you healthy. All that running nose experience is the nose working overtime to produce more liquid to help move bacteria along. To help it out, experts say that you can try physically warming your nose: Rub your hands together, and then breathe into cupped hands or draw in steam from hot green tea and drink it, as green tea helps accelerate the growth and functioning of cilia.
Our nose runs in winter for one more purpose, which is to fight against the drier outside (and inside) air. In winter, or when it’s cold outside, the air is much drier than in summer. Our noses respond by producing more liquid to help humidify the air to a level our bodies need, and that’s when it starts to run out of the end of our nose.
【1】What does the underlined word “filter” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A.Kill. B.Prevent.
C.Defend. D.Trap.
【2】What can we know about “cilia”?
A.They only exist in the nose. B.They stop working in winter.
C.They can sweep away mucus. D.They help break down bacteria.
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.When Do You Have A Running Nose?
B.What Are the Purposes of Your nose?
C.How Can You Deal With “skier’s nose”
D.Why Does, Your Nose Run When It's Cold?
24、 Biology researcher Sayaka Mitoh loves studying Japanese sea slugs. Her research at Nara Women’s University sounds like something from out of scary movies. While studying these small, cute creatures in the lab one day, she saw something strange. A sea slug had cut off its own head but kept on living and moving. Then a couple more sea slugs did the same!
So, Mitoh and another researcher Yoichi Yusa tried it themselves. They cut off the heads of 16 sea slugs. Six of the creatures started regeneration. Three of them survived. One of the three even lost and regrew its body twice. And two different kinds of Japanese sea slugs went through the regeneration process.
Other creatures can lose body parts when needed. For example, some lizards drop their tails to get away from danger and regrow them later. This is a biological event called autotomy (自切).
“We think that this is the most extreme case of autotomy,” Yusa said. He added that some animals can autotomize their legs or tails but no other can drop their whole body.
One kind of sea slug can grow to 15 centimeters long. Scientists had long thought that a creature of that size could not survive without a heart to pump blood and nutrients to the brain.
When these sea slugs eat a certain type of algae (藻类), Yusa said, they can photosynthesize (光合作用) their food from sunlight and oxygen, just like a plant, for about 10 days. He guessed that after autotomy, the head sort of acts like a plant. It turns green and gets its energy from oxygen and sunlight. Mitoh and Yusa said that sea slugs probably developed this ability as a way of fighting off parasites (寄生虫).
Nicholas Curtis is a biology professor at Ave Maria University. What is especially interesting, he said, is that these sea slugs are more complex than other creatures that are known to regenerate. This discovery could help scientists better understand how to regenerate, or regrow, human tissue in the future.
【1】What did Sayaka Mitoh find when studying Japanese sea slugs?
A．They mainly fed on plants.
B．They often fought against each other.
C．They could regrow their bodies.
D．They looked like creatures in a certain movie.
【2】How did the author develop the second paragraph?
A．By presenting figures.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By describing the process.
【3】Why can Japanese sea slugs survive after autotomy according to Yusa?
A．Their body size is extremely small.
B．Their brain doesn’t need nutrients to grow.
C．They mainly feed on a certain type of algae.
D．They can make food from sunlight and oxygen.
【4】What is Nicholas Curtis’s attitude towards the findings?
A．Uncaring.
B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.
D．Doubtful.
