例1 (NMET 2008全国卷Ⅰ—E篇)
Edward Wilson is America’s, if not
the world’s, leading naturalist. In The
Future of Life, he takes us on a tour
of the world’s natural resources(资源).
How are they used? What has been
lost? What remains and is it able to
continue with the present speed of
use? Wilson also points out the need
to understand fully the biodiversity(生
物多样性)of our earth.
NMET 2008全国卷Ⅰ—E篇
Wilson begins with an open letter to the
pioneer in environment (环境) protection,
Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s
Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day.
Wilson will use such comparisons for the
rest of the book. The problem is clear: man
has done great damage to his home over
the years. Van the earth, with human help,
be made to return to biodiversity levels that
will be able to support us in the future?

settling
many problems the earth faces
today. Even our agricultural crops can gain
advantages from it. A mere hundred
species(物种) are the basis of our food
supply, of which but twenty carry the load.
Wilson suggests changing this situation by
looking into ten thousand species that could
be made use of, which will be a way to
reduce the clearing of the natural homes of
plants and animals to enlarge farming
areas.

our present food supply?
