1．Dr Dian Fossey，one of the world's leading women scientists，had a remarkable career.The work-she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas （大猩猩）of Africa-has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady （平穩的）increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later，she returned to Africa to begin a long-time study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her "Karisoke" Research Centre camp on September 24，1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology （生態學）and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this，she needed to recognize individual gorillas，which required that the gorillas get used to her presence （出現）.By copying gorillas' behaviour and sounds，Fossey began to gain their trust，and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named "Peanuts" reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977，one of Fossey's favorite gorillas，Digit，was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26，1985，Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably，Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone（墓碑）， "No one loved gorillas more..."

2．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO2.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
"Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
"It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
（1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？
A．More trees should be planted in no time.
B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
D．Different trees can absorb CO2 differently.
（2）What can we say about McDowell's research？
A．Timely and long-standing.
B．All-sided and careful.
C．Time-limited and regional.
D．Traditional and extensive.
（3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？
A．Worried.
B．Optimistic.
C．Supportive.
D．Indifferent.
（4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To call on people to plant more trees.
B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -
