Its been a hard time for rhinos （犀牛） lately. Recently the International Union for Conservation announced the western black rhinos had died out in the wild. It was last seen in western Africa in 2006. Now， those who work to protect the animals are trying to make sure that wont happen to other rhinos.

19 south-central black rhinos in South Africa were driven to an area nearly 1，000 miles away， which was said to be the gentlest and quickest way to transport the animals. They were taken to a new home that would keep them safe from hunters （獵人）.

Though it is not allowed to hunt rhinos， many are still killed for their horns， which can sell for as much as $30，000 each. Most of them are used to make drugs as traditional medicines in Asian countries. Some people believe that the horns work well in treating pain， fever and even cancer. However， there is no medical evidence yet.

Black rhino population began falling rapidly in the second half of the 1900s because of poaching. In fact， some people still hunt the animals at the risk of being put into prison. And many of the places where the animals used to live were destroyed when people started building farms on the grasslands. Until the 1960s， about 65，000 black rhinos lived throughout most of Africa. Today， fewer than 5，000 are left—most of them in zoos and wildlife reserves.

So far， the south-central black rhinos have seen a rise in numbers. It is hoped that， with continued support， these rhinos can escape the unfortunate result of the western black rhinos.

28. What can we learn about the western black rhinos？

A. They cannot be seen in the wild at present.

B. They once lived in most parts of Africa.

C. They were killed in a natural disaster.

D. They disappeared in the early 1990s.

29. Rhinos are hunted mainly because ___ .

D. their blood helps people prevent illness

30. The underlined word “poaching” in Paragraph 4 refers to the fact that black rhinos ___ .

A. died of illness

B. were killed without control

C. lost the places where they lived

D. were hunted without permission

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. The Death of Rhinos

B. Saving Black Rhinos

C. The Rhinos in South Africa

D. The Habits of Black Rhinos

Crosstalk， a traditional form of comic storytelling， is making a comeback in Chinas tea houses and theaters. Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin， entertained by the apprentices （徒弟） of Hou Baolin， Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan.

The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.

Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty （1644—1911）， Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.

Known in Chinese as xiangsheng （literally， “face and voice”）， crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere， temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform， although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.

Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture， from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although therere hundreds of traditional pieces， theyre constantly rewritten to suit the times and audience， while new works are written as well. Its one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.

“Crosstalk was in the doldrums （蕭条） with competition from other art forms， especially TV，” said Wang Xiaochun， headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China （NSAS）. “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans， especially young people， growing aware （意识到） of its rare qualities.”

“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk， including some girl students，” said Wang. “Theyre sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

32. Crosstalk means “___”.

A. dialogue B. storytelling

C. review D. face and voice

33. What can we know about crosstalk from the text？

A. It first appeared in Tianjin.

B. It has a history of over 100 years.

C. It was mainly performed at teahouses in the past.

D. It was the most popular art form in the 20th century.

34. Crosstalk has been a public art form partly because ___ .

A. it is a popular traditional art after all

B. the pieces contain some famous folk tales

C. the pieces suit the times and the audience

D. the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses
