As a child, I was keen on collecting moths（飞蛾）and butterflies. By adulthood, I could identify about 700

species by sight, recognizing the stripes, dots and colors on their wings and bodies.

In 1972, I moved to Australia and continued collecting. But I started to struggle: identifying them quickly

became an impossible task. The species there were so different from those at home, and there was no space in my

mind to recognize them all.

My crisis soon increased. Throughout the 1970s, I led expeditions to Papua New Guinea to collect moths. One

night, we could collect more than twice as many as those I had memorized in my childhood. Identifying them felt

overwhelming. I gave up and stopped working on moths. But my instinct to identify them never went away.

Two decades later, I was in a supermarket and an idea started to develop in my mind: what if a part of DNA

could be used to differentiate between species Just 13 lines on. the supermarket barcodes（条形码）were being

used to identify products What if we could identify species in the same way?

To test the idea, I began collecting the moths again. Each sample had to donate a leg to science. I believed that

COI（a single segment of a rapidly evolving gene）present in almost all animals could be used to tell species.

With their legs, we used the PCR method to focus in on their section of COI. One by one, it became clear: every

single moth could be sorted using a tiny slice of their genome（基因组）DNA barcoding was 100% successful on

its first test.

In our study paper, we claimed that we had discovered a reliable, inexpensive and accessible solution to

identifying the millions of animal species waiting to be discovered. I believe DNA barcoding is humanity’s first

shot at finally discovering all life on Earth. This technique has helped conservationists to fight against wildlife

crime and monitor the impact of mining on bıodiversity. One day, I am confident it will form part of a system to

monitor the biosphere the Same way we monitor the weather.

4．How did the author recognize moth species in his childhood?

A．By turning to books.

B．By using lab equipment.

C．By obseiving their behavior.

D．By distinguishing their appearance.

5．What does the underlined “My crisis” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The loss of interest in studying moths.

B．The impossibility of recognizing moths.

C．The pressure of discovering new moth species.

D．The challenge of collecting as many moth samples.

6．What inspired the author to use DNA for species identification?

A．The ease of using PCR to focus on COI.

B．The simplicity of supermarket barcodes.

C．The success of DNA barcoding on moths.

D．The availability of COI in almost all animals.

7．What might DNA barcoding be used for in the future according to the text?

A．Protecting wildlife habitats.

B．Tracking wildlife population.

C．Assisting in monitoring biodiversity.

D．Updating weather monitoring systems.

Some people may be picky eaters, but as a species we are not. Birds, bugs and whales, we’ll eat them all. Yet

our reliance on wild animals goes far beyond just feeding ourselves. From agricultural feed to medicine to the pet

trade, modern society exploits wild animals in a way that beats even the most aggressive wild predator（捕食者）.

Now, for the first time, researchers have tried to capture the full picture of how we use wildlife, including how

many, and for what purposes. The research showcases just how broad our influence on wild animals is.

In the study, researchers have found that humans kill, collect or otherwise use about 15,000 species. That’s up

to 300 times more than the next top predator in any ecosystem.

Yet according to Chris Darimont, a co-author of the study, the biggest shock isn’t how many species we affect

but why we take them. “The result,” he says, “is that we remove, or essentially prey on, more species of animals for

non-food reasons than for food reasons.”And the biggest non-food use is as pets and pet food. “That’s where things

have gone off the rails（轨道）,” he says. The problem is especially serious for tropical birds. The helmeted

hornbill, for example, is captured mainly for the pe trade, or for its beak to be used as medicine or to be carved like

ivory. Their disappearance limits seed dispersal and the spread of trees around the forest.

Another big difference between humans’ influence on wild animals and that of other predators is that we tend

to favor rare and exotic（外来的）species in a way other animals do not. Most predators target common species,

since they are easier to find and catch. Humans, nowever, tend to covet the novel. “The more rare it is,” say

scientists, “the more that drives up the price, and therefore it may go into extinction.”

If we want wild species to survive, we need to reestablish our relationship with them, perhaps from predator to

caretaker

8．What role do humans play in their present relationship with wildlife according to the author?

A．Picky predators. D．Protectors of biodiversity.
