2. ___________

Environmental groups say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle populations during the past thirty years.

3. ___________

The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5,000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter. Many people do not eat meat during this holy time in order to obey the rules of Lent. Because sea turtles swim, many people consider them to be fish. Fish is permitted during Lent.

4. ___________

The Sea Turtle Conservation Network is a union of fishermen, environmental activists and researchers. They sent a letter to Pope John Paul, urging the Roman Catholic Church leader to officially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish or seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. The letter also asked members of the Catholic Church to obey laws banning the capture of turtles in Mexico and the United States.

5.___________

About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of Baja, California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the United States and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.

閱讀理解。
     Scientists say illegal logging is threatening one of Mexico's most famous insects. Satellite pictures show
large wooded areas have been cleared from the central Mexican state of Michoacan. The forests are the winter
home for millions of monarch butterflies. The butterflies go there each year to reproduce. After reproducing,
the adult butterflies die, but their young return to the home of their parents each spring.
     The American space agency released the relevant satellite pictures last month. The images show the Monarch
Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. A Mexican law protects trees growing in the area. The images show that about
four hundred and forty-five hectares have been cleared since 2004. Scientists say that, if the clearing continues,
monarch butterflies are unlikely to continue using the Reserve as their winter home.
     For thousands of years, the butterflies have been flying to the same forests. Their trip begins along the border
of Canada and the northeastern United States. The insects fly about eighty kilometers a day. They reach central
Mexico after about sixty days. No one is sure why the brightly coloured orange and black butterflies chose these
forests. However, scientists believe the area might offer the right mix of wetness and cool weather to keep the
insects alive through the winter.
     Lincoln Brower is a professor of biology at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. He has been studying monarch
butterflies for fifty-two years. He says they have been migrating along the same path for about ten thousand
years. People in Mexico have compared the arrival of the butterflies to dark cloud-like formations (陣式) filling
the air. The monarchs arrive in such large numbers that they sometimes cover whole trees.
     Mexico's President ordered special protection for the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve eight years ago.
The Mexican government has struggled to enforce (強(qiáng)制) the order. Although illegal logging has become one
way for poor people to earn money, other Mexicans are fighting to protect the butterflies' home.
1. What would be the BEST title for the text?
A. Illegal Clearing of Forests Threatens Winter Home of Monarch Butterflies
B. The Forests are the Winter Home for Monarch Butterflies
C. Monarch Butterflies Like the Winter Home in the Forests
D. Protecting the Forests Can Protect Monarch Butterflies
2. Why are the forests called the winter home for millions of monarch butterflies? Because each winter
    the butterflies travel there to _____.
A. avoid cold
B. look for food
C. sleep
D. produce young
3. Why did monarch butterflies choose the forest as their winter home?
A. It has many trees.
B. It has the appropriate environment for them.
C. It is easy to get to.
D. We don't know.
4. The underlined word "migrating" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to "_____".
A. going to live in another area or country, especially in order to find food
B. travelling regularly from one part of the world to another
C. changing from one place or position to another
D. starting using an area again as a place to live
5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? 
A. Mexico has nothing but forests.
B. Most people in Mexico are poor.
C. All Mexicans are destroying the butterflies' home.
D. Some poor people in Mexico often break the law.
