Global financial big dogs are no match for China's "Da Ma", or housewives, who have crowded into gold stores across China, buying up 300 tons of gold over the past two weeks. No wonder gold prices have steadied after taking a dive.

During the May Day holiday, gold stores were crowded with mostly female customers. Most of them are middle-aged "Chinese housewives". This group of buyers has risen to fame recently. They are big spenders and are desperate to get their hands on a bargain. "I bought some gold jewellery and kept them as a gift for my son when he gets married," said a buyer from Shanghai. 

The gold business is skyrocketing. "Our sales are growing by the day. Yesterday we sold more than ten million yuan of gold products," a gold store salesperson said. The gold rush in China started about two weeks ago thanks to a decline in global gold prices. Media reports suggest that Chinese housewives have spent about 100 billion yuan, or about 16 billion US dollars, purchasing 300 tons of gold since mid-April. That has helped support gold prices.

"Gold prices depressed since the middle of last month but have risen gradually. That is mainly due to the strong demand from Asian markets," said foreign trader Zhang Chen from Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. "Some people even joked that Chinese housewives have beaten Wall Street analysts." For Chinese people, with limited investment options, the only thing better than buying gold is buying gold at discount prices.

1.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence of the first paragraph?

A．The global big dogs can’t match with Chinese housewives.  

B．China's "Da Ma" help a lot to support the global economic crisis. 

C．Chinese housewives spend a great deal of money on gold. 

D．Chinese housewives have a better consumption idea than global financial big dogs. 

2.The whole passage mainly developed_______ ?

A．by comparison  B．by contrast  C．by quotation  D．by time order 

3.We can infer about the gold rush in China from the passage?

A．The Chinese housewives are most willing to spend money in buying gold. 

B．China's "Da Ma" crowded into stores to get gold as the best gifts for sons when they get married. 

C．China's "Da Ma" are bigger spenders and cleverer than global financial big dogs. 

D．China’s "Da Ma" become the largest gold buyers due to a decline in global gold prices. 

4.The author’s description about the passage is ______.

A．negative B. subjective C．doubtful D. objective

One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.

“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (駝鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.

Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避難處) have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.

For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (懸崖棲息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.

Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

1.The first paragraph suggests that ________.

A. environment is crucial（關(guān)鍵的）for wildlife

B. tour books are not always a reliable source of information

C. London is a city of fox　　

D. foxes are highly adaptable to environment

A. Food is plentiful in the cities.

B. Wildlife is appreciated in the cities.

C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities

D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities

3.The underlined word “tallied” in Para. 2 means __________.

A．distinguished B．describedC．countedD．concluded

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A．Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos.

B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city

C．Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside

D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A．Wildlife returning to large cities

B．Foxes returning to London

C．Wild animals living in zoos

D．A survey of wildlife in New York
