第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and undergrowth, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

51. Which of the followings would be the best title of the passage?

A. The extinction of African elephants

B. The natural habitats of African elephants

C. The effect of African elephants' search for food

D. The eating habit of African elephants

52. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state.

C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions.

53. From the passage we can know that the open spaces ________.

A. result from the destruction of rain forests

B. provide food mainly for African elephants

C. are home to many endangered animals

D. are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds

54. The passage is developed mainly by_______.

A. showing the effect and explaining the causes

B. pointing out similarities and differences

C. describing the changes in space order

D. giving some different examples

B
