Amazon havecontributed to that areas exceptional biological diversity.The research team,led by the AmericanMuseum of Natural History,found that as small river systems change over time,they spur the evolutionof new species.The findings also reveal previously unknown bird species in the Amazon that are onlyfound in small areas next to these dynamic river systems,putting them at high risk of extinction.The lowland rainforests of the Amazon River basin harbor(藏匿)more diversity than any otherecosystem on the planet.It is also a globally important biome(生物群落)containing about 18 percent ofall trees on Earth and carrying more fresh water than the next seven largest river basins combined.Researchers have long wondered and hotly debated how the Amazons rich biodiversity arose andaccumulated.“Early evolutionary biologists like Alfred Russel Wallace noticed that many species of primates andbirds differ across opposite riverbanks in the Amazon,”said the studys lead author Lukas Musher.“Moreover,accumulating geological evidence has suggested that these rivers are highly dynamic,moving around the South American landscape over relatively short time periods,on the order ofthousands or tens of thousands of years.”To investigate how the movement of rivers across the landscape has influenced the accumulation ofbird species in the Amazon,the researchers sequenced the genomes(基因组)of six species of Amazonianbirds.Because these rivers move around the landscape at different time scales,their movements can havevarying outcomes for bird species:when river rearrangements occur quickly,populations of birds on eachside can combine before theyve had time to differ;when river changes happen slowly,species have alonger time to diverge from one another.28.What does the underlined word“spur”in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Stimulate.B.Renew.C.Pursue.D.Interrupt.29.What have researchers debated on?A.What the Amazons biodiversity indicates.学科网（北京）股份有限公司5B.How the Amazons biodiversity was formed.C.Whether the Amazon has the richest biodiversity.D.Why Amazon bird species are at risk of distinction.30.What can we conclude from LukasMushers words?A.There are six species ofAmerican birds.B.Rivers move very slowly in South America.C.Most species differ across opposite Amazon riverbanks.D.River movement may lead to the Amazons biodiversity.31.What has influenced the change of bird species in the Amazon?A.The location of river movement.B.The populations of birds.C.The speed of river movement.D.The amount of the genomes.DMany livestock farmers in the western world are becoming worried by a longer-term threat to theirincome from the growing popularity of vegetarian diets.Here comes the question whether to eat meat ornot.Before airing our view,we should consider seriously the three reasons that vegetarians give forrefusing animal products.The easiest point to argue against is that eating meat is unhealthy.Nothing is healthier than a varieddiet,including fiber,vegetable,fruit and meat.Although studies show that eating red and processed meatmay raise the risk of some cancers,it is important not to overstate the effect.This week,for example,Cancer Research UK reported that eating an extra piece of bacon every day raised the risk of bowelcancer by 20 percent.But that means just eight extra(largely curable)cases in every 10,000 people oversix years.Our treatment of farm animals is an issue that vegetarians find more troubling.A common view isthat raising animals in a small area cause unacceptable suffering.In this regard,agricultural authoritiesshould take up the responsibility to enforce welfare standards that give each animal enough space to standand move around comfortably.Also,consumers have an important role to play in improving conditionsfor farm animals.For example,the dislike of“battery hens”led to an EU ban in 2012 on keepingchickens in barren cages.The environmental impact of livestock farming is its greatest problem in a century.The UN Foodand Agriculture Organization estimates that farmed animals account for 14.5%of greenhouse gasemission.Although changes in grazing practices could substantially reduce the environmental impact oflivestock farming,it will always use more resources than producing the same number of calories fromplant crops.Meat production should focus on the worlds traditional grasslands,without taking up newland.32.Which of the following is NOT the reason against animal products given by vegetarians?A.It harms human health.B.It causes animal suffering.C.It damages the environment.D.It threatens the income of farmers.33.Why does the author mention the report from Cancer Research UK in paragraph 2?A.To prove that eating too much meat is unhealthy.B.To persuade people out of eating too much meat.学科网（北京）股份有限公司6C.To show that eating meat is not as unhealthy as vegetarians think.D.To present the fact that eating too much bacon may cause cancer.34.Whats the authors attitude towards raising animals in a small area?A.Favorable.B.Negative.C.Indifferent.D.Unclear.35.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.The changes in feeding practices.B.The challenges that livestock farming faces.C.The negative effects of livestock farming on the environment.D.The measures to reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分
