21、 1 In parts of Brazils poor northeast, snakes and parrots are on sale by the roadside for a few reais. In Brazil, as elsewhere in Latin America, wild animals have been kept as pets for centuries. But in recent years they have become the target of a vast and flourishing illegal trade that is threat-e
22、rring the survival of some species. Governments and others are now trying to do more to end the trafficking. In Brazil alone, the trade in animals is worth $1 billion a year, according to the National Network Against the Trafficking of Wild Animals (RENCTAS), a coalition of NGOs. Some of the sellers
23、 are simply the rural poor, seeking a means of subsistence. Others, especially those involved in exports, are organised networks. The buyers include pet shops, pharmaceutical laboratories and foreign collectors. The international trade in animals is regulated by the Convention on International Trade
24、 in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which most Latin American countries have signed. Brazil has gone further, banning all trade in wild animals, whether endangered or not. Critics say that by pushing the trade underground, this has made it harder to regulate. In any event, Brazil
25、 lacks inspectors, and perhaps the will, to enforce the ban. Some of Brazils neighbours have looser rules. Many Brazilian animals are smuggled across the countrys long northern borders to Venezuela, Colombia or the Guyanas, whence they are exported with fake documentation. Efforts are now under way
26、to improve regional co-operation. In July, in the first meeting of its kind, representatives from the United States government, Interpol and CITES met Latin American officials and NGOSA in Brasilia. What about the importing countries? The United States Fish and Wildlife Service carries out inspectio
27、ns at airports, and investigates smuggling networks. Each year it handles 4,500 cases involving the import or export of animals. Under the Lacey act, American animal traffickers who break foreign laws can be prosecuted at home. Smugglers are regularly picked up in Miami: a Nicaraguan was caught last
28、 year at the airport with “Christmas gifts“ that included over 1,100 sea turtles eggs. Tony Silva, a well-known exotic-bird fancier based in Chicago, was jailed in the mid-1990s for heading a ring importing rare parrots from South America. In an effort to deter would-be buyers, RENCTAS is working wi
29、th tourism bodies to teach unsuspecting foreigners visiting Brazil that they should forget about wild life souvenirs. But in the long run the trade will be stopped only if incentives are generated to deter the rural poor from providing the raw material. Eco-tourism projects have spread across Latin
30、America over the past decade, and the CITES secretariat is backing plans for more. The best hope for parrots is to become more valuable in the wild than in a plastic tube.（分数：5.00）(1).The following groups are among buyers of wild animals EXCEPT （分数：1.00）A.foreign collectors.B.pet shop owners.C.pharm
31、aceutical laboratories.D.poor people in the countryside.(2).According to critics, it is hard to regulate the trade in wild animals in Brazil because （分数：1.00）A.Brazil has not signed CITES.B.Brazil has failed to enforce CITES.C.regulations on the trade are too loose.D.the trade in wild animals has go
32、ne underground.(3).The purpose of the meeting between the U.S. and Latin American officials is to （分数：1.00）A.make the countries sign CITES.B.strengthen regional co-operation.C.lift the ban on trade in wild animals.D.require documentation for wild animal export.(4).The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services
33、 responsibilities do NOT include （分数：1.00）A.inspecting incoming air cargo.B.detecting animal smuggling.C.regulating wildlife trading.D.investigating smuggling networks.(5).How can the trade of wild animals be eliminated eventually? （分数：1.00）A.To initiate eco-tourism projects.B.To punish those who ma
34、ke wildlife specimens.C.To improve the living conditions for the rural poor.D.To fine foreigners for their buying wildlife souvenirs.Text 2 At the dawn of the 20th century, suburbia was a dream inspired by revulsion to the poverty and crowding of the cities. In the visions of architects, there would
35、 be neighborhood parks, tree-tined streets and low-density housing free from the pollution and social problems of the cities. As the top map of the New York City metropolitan area shows, commuter suburbs had sprung up near the railway lines on Long Island and Westchester County by 1930, but further
36、expansion was fueled in large part by the automobile. Eventually it was apparent that much of suburbia was not delivering on the early promise. The extraordinary growth of car ownership in 20th-century America was made possible by abundant domestic oil, the worlds largest highway system, and low tax
37、es on vehicles and gasoline. But suburban growth would not have been nearly as great were it not for government policies that penalized cities and rewarded suburbs. For instance, federal mortgage insurance programs tended to promote new housing on outlying land rather than repair of existing city ho
38、using and, furthermore, excluded racially mixed neighborhoods that were deemed unstable. American communities have far fewer impediments to expansion than European ones: London, for instance, restricted sprawl by establishing greenbelts on its periphery. Tax deductions for mortgage interest in the U
39、.S. have been larger than those of most other countries. Furthermore, suburban jurisdictions in the U.S. have far greater zoning powers than their foreign counterparts and use this power to reinforce low-density housing by requiring large lots, thus increasing the number of affluent taxpayers and re
40、ducing the need to supply services to needy families. Arguably, the most important stimulus to “white flight“ out of the city was fear of crime, particularly crime by blacksa fear reinforced by the social pathologies of public housing, where blacks and other minorities predominate. Such apprehension
41、 helps to explain why revitalization projects and improved mass-transit systems have failed to lure the middle class back to the city in large numbers. Suburban expansion may conjure up images of aesthetic degradation and cultural sterility, but it has provided better housing for millions. In the pr
42、ocess of suburbanization, low-income city families have also benefited because of the housing stock that became available as the middle class fled. By spreading out, U.S. cities avoided the sometimes oppressive densities of Japanese and European cities. Indeed, so great is the compactness in Tokyo t
43、hat Japanese officials see deconcentration as a high priority. Overall, however, the suburban push financially hurt cities, which saw their tax bases shrink. They were disproportionately affected by unfunded federal mandates and thus hindered in efforts to provide quality schools and reliable munici
44、pal services. Indeed, New York Citys fiscal problems in the 1970s followed, and were worsened by the middle-class flight into the suburbs. The outflow, rather than population growth, drove rapid suburban spread.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT the cause for the emergence of suburbia? （分数：1

47、ing housing prices.C.better services are provided to the poor in the process of suburbanization.D.stronger law enforcement can attract middle class families back to cities.(4).What is one of the consequences of suburbanization? （分数：1.00）A.Urban skyline has been improved.B.More houses are made availa
48、ble to low-income families.C.Developing suburbia has been on top of the U.S. government agenda.D.The U.S. government has lost control over suburban sprawl.(5).The last paragraph focuses on （分数：1.00）A.difficulty in taxation.B.population growth in suburbs.C.inadequate urban public facilities.D.financial problems in urban areas.Tex
