判断题Dwarfism is one frequent trend observed in many island species.A对
B错
正确答案： 对解析：
从录音中提到的“One frequent trend observed in such island species, at least when they are large mammals, is dwarfism”，可知许多岛上生物经常会出现侏儒症（dwarfism）这一现象。
【录音原文】
Islands are famous for generating indigenous species from whatever biological material pitches up on them. One frequent trend observed in such island species, at least when they are large mammals, is dwarfism. Elephants seem particularly susceptible. The last mammoths, which lived on an island off the coast of Siberia, were, paradoxically, dwarfs. Similar elephantine examples are known from Malta, Sicily and, indeed, Flores itself. And the same thing has been observed in cattle, too. -

第13题：
单选题Paleontologists hypothesize that modern birds evolved from the family of dinosaurs that included Tyrannosaurus rex. This hypothesis would be strongly supported if evidence that dinosaurs from this family had a body covering resembling feathers could be found, but so far no such evidence has been found. Which of the following, if true, would most help the paleontologists explain why no evidence of feathered dinosaurs has yet been found?AFossilized dinosaurs have shown many birdlike characteristics, such as bone structure and winglike arms.
BIf birds are in fact the descendants of dinosaurs, then it can be argued that the dinosaurs never really died out.
CFlying dinosaurs such as the Pteranodon, which is not thought to have been related to modern birds, do not appear to have had feathers.
DSoft tissues such as skin and feathers do not fossilize like bones, and therefore are far less likely to have left permanent evidence in the fossil record.
EThe thousands of dinosaur fossils excavated by paleontologists represent only a tiny fraction of the billions of dinosaurs that once lived.

【录音原文】
Examining historical and modern species records from Singapore and neighboring Malaysia, researchers found that Singapore has lost 95% of its native forest habitat and nearly 28% of its overall biodiversity since 1819, when the British established a colony on the island. Today, more than half of Singapore’s surviving species are concentrated in just one-quarter of a percent of the country’s total area, in land designated as forest reserves. -
