一、閱讀理解

• 1．War can be deadly for wildlife，too.A new study reports that war is the biggest threat to Africa's elephants，rhinoceroses，and other animals.Researchers examined how years of conflict in Africa have affected populations of large animals.More than 70 percent of Africa's protected wildlife areas have been within a war zone at some point in the last 70 years.The more frequent the fighting，the greater the drop in animal populations，said Josh Daskin，an ecologist at Yale University.He was the lead author of the study，which was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
     It takes very little conflict，as much as one conflict in about 20 years，for the average wildlife population to be declining，Daskin said."Areas with frequent fighting -but not necessarily the bloodiest fighting -lose 35 percent of their large animal populations during each year of war，" he said.
     Some animals get killed by weapons of war.Yet，many also die because of changes in social and economic conditions in an area as a result of war，said Rob Pringle.He is an ecologist at Princeton University and the study's co-author."People in and around war zones are poor and hungry.So they may begin to illegally hunt animals for valuable tusks or hunt protected animals to eat，" Pringle said."And during wartime，animal conservation programs do not have as much money or power to protect wildlife."
     The new study examined the entire African continent over 65 years.The researchers looked at 10 different factors that could change population numbers.They included war，drought，animal size，protected areas and human population density.The number of wars had the biggest effect on wildlife population.The intensity of the wars -measured in the number of human deaths -had the least effect on animals.

• 2．Can we humans avoid wars？Can wars be prevented？
     （1）

  Throughout the ages，from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age，men have been fighting，first with swords and shields，then with cannons，and now，hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purpose.However，in spite of all these，it is still believed that wars can be prevented and peace can be won，but it requires the effort of every one of us.
     （2）

  If it ever happens，two-thirds of the world and much of the civilization which men have gained through time，patience and efforts will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive on its own？
     Our task now is not to blame the past，but to plan for the future.
     If there is peace in the world，men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space，their submarines to explore the depth of the sea，their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate（穿越）jungles of Africa instead of using them for military.Governments can use their money to build more schools，so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens. （3）

  They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of the people.
     （4）

  It requires，in my opinion，the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reasons of color，race，religion，or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
