【正文】 of wildlife. However, as yet, there are no obvious reasons why certain frog species are disappearing from rainforests in Australia that have barely been touched by human hand. The mystery is unsettling to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels. The danger is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already bee irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe.An example of a species of frog that, at far as is known, has bee extinct, is the platypus frog. Like the wellknown Australian mammal it was named after, it exhibited some very strange behaviour。 t although college. Meantime, there are a few rules that__4__ for everybody.

Why does the author think women are easier to suffer from depression? . Women are expected to look after their children. Many women are consequently totally dependent on their husbandsines, or earn a little money at parttime, lowpaid jobs. Fathers, on the other hand, are not seen by society as responsible for the care of their children. A man can still drink all his earnings if he wishes. One of the reasons some women put up with beating for so long is because they are concerned about how they could bring up the children with little money on their own if they left. Often, women finally leave only when they fear that their children are themselves in physical or mental danger from their fathers.Questions:（注意；答題盡量簡(jiǎn)短，超過(guò)10個(gè)詞要扣分。所以此處要選表示“借口、理由”意思的詞，即是excuse。第一種方法從篇章的角度著手，承接上面一段，說(shuō)的是學(xué)習(xí)的困難，在這里顯然是說(shuō)“即使”是讀得最快的人也有困難，選A)順理成章。如果直接解此題有困難，可以先做后面的題。因而此處的連詞要表達(dá)“直到”的意思。s mouth.

The solitary Eskimo, Bushman, Indonesian, Nigerian, left to his own devices, will survive a considerable time. Living close to the soil or to their animal prey, the peoples with the lowest standard of living in the world can sustain their own lives, at least for a while, almost singlehanded. With a munity numbering only a few hundred, they can live indefinitely. Indeed, a very large percentage of the human race today lives in precisely such fashion in small, virtually selfcontained peasant munities which provide for their own survival with a minimum of contact with the outside world. This large majority of mankind suffers great poverty, but it also knows a certain economic independence.　　When we turn to the New Yorker or the Chicagoan, on the other hand, we are struck by exactly the opposite condition, by a prevailing ease of material life, coupled at the same time by an extreme dependence of the individual in his search for the means of existence. In the great metropolitan areas where most Americans live, we can no longer imagine the solitary individual or the small munity surviving, short of robbing for food and necessities. The majority of Americans have never grown food, caught game, raised meat, ground grain into flour. Faced with the challenge of clothing themselves or building their own homes, they would be hopelessly untrained and unprepared. Even to make minor rep
