Looking back on my childhood, I am 41 that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon 42 their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no 43 for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the 44 memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens—that brings these observations together in my 45 mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the 46 , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the 47 of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities 48 is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is 49 . If you can bine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 41. J 42. D
（奉贤） A. ignored F. instances Money is the root of all evil– and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US, 41 on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do 42 things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They 43 their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars 44 a pedestrian pared with only 30 percent of people driving more 45 cars.
In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical(不道德的) things in various everyday situations and 46 included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more 47 . Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings. Finally, it 48 makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even

Since the advent (来临) of World Wide Web, many minority 42 ，those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups, have enjoyed a dramatic upsurge(急剧上升)in vitality. Many such tongues were 43 endangered just a decade ago. Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking more and more speakers out of their munities and away from fellow speakers. Languages were 44 at an alarming rate.
Like biological extinction, linguistic extinction is a serious loss for all of humankind. Languages are some of the 45 ways people maintain their culture and are crucial to understanding other cultures. When fewer and fewer people share a 46 language, it may die, and when it does, part of our collective human culture dies with it．
Surprisingly, though, the Internet has bee a valuable tool for 47 endangered languages. Speakers of these languages not only have been particularly active in putting up web pages in their various languages, but also in mounting (配置) 48 effective, large-scale dictionary and language-learning projects online. There is no reason why minority languages cannot live together with a mon social language like English. Indeed, the Internet offers more hope for their 49 than they have ever known before, especially as translation tools bee more effective. 41-49: IDAJE CGHF

The Springs is part of the 69 percent of the __41__border park west of Tucson that has been closed to the public since Kris Eggle was shot and killed while __42__drug runners armed with AK-47s in xx.
Organ Pipe was named “the most dangerous national park” that year and also in xx by the U.S. Park Rangers Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, before the group discontinued the__43__. The sharp increase of drug activity on Arizona’s southern border since the 1990s has turned Organ Pipe rangers into Border Patrol agents, and encouraged state lawmakers to pass several laws cracking down on (严厉打击) __44__immigrants within the state.
Since xx, the park has offered van tours to the Springs, as long as rangers armed with rifles go along to __45__the visitors. Now, ten years after Eggle’s murder, the park’s leadership has __46__to open up a portion of the closed areas to the public in March, citing improved safety __47__and a big increase in Border Patrol agents in the area.
In the run-up to Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in Arizona, immigration has once again been a hotly __48__topic in the state: Mitt Romney in a __49__last week praised Arizona’s immigration laws as a “model” for the country, while President Obama’s Justice Department is appealing Arizona to turn over one of those laws, called SB1070. 41—49 DAIFC JBGE

Single and childless women 41 had an unfortable and difficult time. The majority of women had no voting or political rights until 1928, and for centuries wives and their property had been the legal 42 of their husbands. Formal education for women was thought to be unnecessary for their role in life, and was 43 for the majority.
The female position in society became a little better in some respects towards the end of the nineteenth century, but was still very 44 . However, elementary education for all was established and a few institutions of higher education began to 45 women in restricted numbers.
Since the 1960’s, women in Britain have been fighting for greater equality with men in job 46 and rates of pay. Various laws from the 1970’s to the present have been made. In spite of all these, men remain better paid than women in many occupations, 47 in industry. Women constitute (构成) nearly half the national workforce, there are more employed married women in Britain than in any other European munity country, and some 60 percent of wives are now 48 pared with 22 percent in 1951. But their average weekly wage is still only 70 percent of the average paid to men. This is true of both the manufacturing trades and the service industries. As a result, the majority of female workers are badly paid and often 49 by the trade unions or the law. 41. I 42. B

Amphibians are animals, such as frogs, that live partly in water and partly on land. And they have been around for over 350 million years. They have 41 three mass extinctions, including the extinction of the dinosaurs. Why are they dying out now?
The most serious aspect of amphibian loss, however, goes beyond the amphibians themselves. Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian 42 means for the planet as a whole. If the earth is being unlivable for amphibians, is it also being unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?
Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors. One of these factors is the 43 of habitat, the natural area where an animal lives. Amphibians are very 44 to changes in their habitat. If they cannot find the right conditions, they will not lay their eggs. These days, as wild areas are covered with houses, roads, farms, or factories, many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.
There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them. In many industrial areas, air pollution has 45 the rain, which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs that live there. In farming areas, the heavy use of 46 on crops has also killed off amphibians. Another factor is that air pollution has led to 47 levels of ultraviolet （UV） light. This endangers amphibians, which seem to be 48 sensitive to UV light.
All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general 49 . These factors affect human beings, too. 41--49.
