二、閱讀理解（20小題，每小題10分，共40分）閱讀下面四篇語言材料，然后按文后要求做題。

• 1．The International Day for Biological Diversity（生物多樣性日）is celebrated on May 22.Its aim is to remind people to get along with the nature.
     The day was first created in 1993 by the UN and it was on December 29^th.In 2000，the UN changed it to May 22.This was partly in memory of the UN convention（公約）on May 22，1992.But it was also hard for many countries to organize events on December 29，because there are already many holidays in that time of the year.Every year，the celebrations of the day are organized on a different topic.The topic in 2022 is "Building a shared future for all life".The message behind is that biodiversity is what we can depend on to build a bright future.It is also the answer to several development challenges.
     Biological diversity are necessary for our daily life.For example，fish provide 20% of animal protein to about 3 billion people.Over 80% of the human diet is provided by plants.As many as 70% of people from countryside in developing countries depend on traditional plant-based medicines for basic healthcare.
     While people start to know that biological diversity is valuable，the number of species（物種）is dropping because of human activities.That is why the UN decided to celebrate the day every year.
