A new technology is being adopted in the world of photography. Some photographers are now adding location 
information  to  their  digital  pictures,  a  practice     41   “geotagging.”  Geotagging  is  becoming  increasingly 
widespread  because  people  want  to  know     42    pictures  come  from.    Some  people  like  to  see  detailed 
information about the place they are going to visit. Geotagging     43    them to just click on points on a map and 
find pictures of the location. 
Currently, most photographers geotag their photos     44    matching the stamp on a picture with the location 
on a GPS log. Cameras that include geotagging features are starting to  45    the shelves in stores. Even some 
cellphones are now capable of geotagging. This new technology could really change the way we learn about our 
world.

Each year, an estimated 10,000 to 100,000 animal species die off. Scientists are now closing in on the ability 
to  bring  back  extinct  species.  No,  this  doesn’t  mean  the  plot  of  Jurassic  Park  is  going  to  become  a  reality. 
Researchers need DNA to bring back a species. DNA is the chemical that carries the structure for a living thing. 
Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils. 
But  there’s a  very  real  chance  that  we  will  be  able to  bring  back  more  recently  extinguished  species.  This 
could even include Ice Age animals like the woolly mammoth. In 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists 
re-created the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. The new animal didn’t survive long, but 
scientific advances should improve the success rate. In January, Australian scientists announced that they were on 
their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog. 
Just because we  can  bring  species  back  doesn’t  mean  that  we  should.  There  may be  benefits  to  reviving  a 
species. But there’s no way to know how it will turn out. For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old 
habitat? Or might it crowd out existing species? 
Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of 
traditional  conservation.  Why  worry  about  preserving  a  wildlife  habitat  if  we  know  we  can  just  reverse  our 
mistakes? 
But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct, which may give us an obligation to do so. As businessman 
and environmentalist Stewart Brand recently said, “Humans have made a huge hole in nature. We have the ability 
now ... to repair some of that damage.” 
 
【1】46. What does this passage mainly discuss? 
 Should scientists re-create extinct species? 
 Are scientists able to bring back extinct animals? 
 Is the plot of Jurassic Park going to become a reality? 
 Should the hard work of traditional conservation be continued? 
【3】47. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “closing in on” in the first paragraph? 
 Not having.   
 Becoming dark. 
 Getting near. 
 Breaking up. 
【2】48. Which of the following extinct animals has once been successfully brought back? 
 The woolly mammoth. 
 The Pyrenean ibex. 
 The gastric brooding frog. 
 The passenger pigeon. 
【1】49. What is Stewart Brand’s attitude toward re-creating extinct creatures? 
 Supportive. 
 Discouraging.       
 Neutral. 
 Indifferent. 
【4】50. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 
 The Pyrenean ibex went extinct in the year 2000. 
 Human beings are responsible for the extinction of some animal species. 
 Dinosaurs can’t be brought back because no DNA is left in fossils. 
 If brought back, a passenger pigeon will certainly crowd out existing species.
