21、The banded langur or banded leaf monkey is a small black monkey with a white stripe (条纹) on its underside. Once common in the jungles of Singapore, Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula, these langurs are classified as “near threatened” with their numbers decreasing, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.

For more than a century, scientists considered the monkeys to be a single species, but new research published in Scientific Reports suggests there are actually three different species. And two of the newly found species are critically endangered (严重濒危的).

Raffles banded langurs were found in southern Malaysia and Singapore in 1838 and classified as a species of banded langurs. East Sumatran and Robinson’s banded langurs were found decades later. All three langurs are mostly black with small differences in the locations of their white markings. While studying Raffles banded langurs, scientist Andie Ang suspected the monkeys were a separate species.

“Just looking at the descriptions of it made in the past, it seemed like they were a different species, but I didn’t have any information to support that, ” said Ang, lead author of the study.

Researchers suggest that the new findings show the two newly reclassified species-Raffles banded langurs and East Sumatran banded langurs are critically endangered.

Due to habitat loss, especially from large-scale palm plantations (棕榈种植园)，it’s estimated that there are only about 300 Raffles banded langurs left in the world, including 60 in Singapore. Similarly, the population of East Sumatran banded langurs has decreased by more than 80% over the last three generations since 1989 due to deforestation.

“We want to encourage more research on these totally different species of monkeys in Asia, ” Ang says. “There’s more diversity there than we know of, and if we don’t know about it, we risk losing it. ”

【1】What can be inferred about banded langurs?

A．They actually prove to be a single species.

B．All of the three species are very dangerous.

C．One of the species isn’t critically endangered.

D．They all turn out to be huge black monkeys.

【2】What was Andie Ang uncertain about Raffles banded langurs at first?

A．Whether they were endangered.

B．What he could do to protect them.

C．How biologists should judge them.

D．If they belonged to a different species.

【3】How does the text mainly show the decrease of banded langur species?

A．By using figures.

B．By doing experiments.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By mentioning scientists’ words.

【4】What is Andie Ang’s suggestion on dealing with monkeys?

A．Setting up more protected areas in Asia.

B．Replacing palm plantations with forests.

C．Calling on scientists to ensure its diversity.

D．Making efforts to know more about them.

24、“I’ll be back later, Lily. I know you can manage the store on your own.” Lily’s father said reassuringly as he walked towards the front door. Lily saw his eyes beaming with pride. She was thankful that her father continued to shower her with love after all the trouble she had caused him.

Lily loved climbing trees. She could not remember the countless times she ended up with a broken arm. She was scolded occasionally by her teachers for being late for school. Once, just to make herself feel good, she challenged a few boys in her class to a race, which landed her in trouble with the discipline master for coming up with the idea and not thinking of their safety in the school.

Lily was well-known among the neighbours. Surprisingly, it was not for her troubles. There were instances in which she gave items in their store for free to the needy in the neighbourhood.

No sooner had her father left than Lily saw an elderly lady coming into the store, looking tired. Slowly the woman went to a corner and took a small packet of rice. She took some cash from her purse and spoke softly, “This is all I have. Is it enough?” Lily smiled. She was short of two dollars.Lily did not want to disappoint her and thought of something. Then she said, “I think it is enough since we are having a discount today on this packet of rice.” The woman gazed at Lily, relieved.

One hour later, Lily’s father came back and looked at Lily, expressionless. Oh no, Lily thought. Did he know what I just did? Lily wondered what her father would say to her for giving a discount without his approval. Unexpectedly, he gave her a hug and said. “That’s my girl! I know you’ll make me proud one day.” His words really meant a lot to her. She was determined to mend her ways and make her parents proud.
