  Britain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010.

  The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens-one of the oldest botanical gardens-will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China.

  More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said.

  The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds.Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change.

  The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(滅絕)in Southwest China from agricultural development.It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption.

  Stored at minus 20 degrees centigrade, the seeds can last for thousands of years and await the day that scientists hope never comes-when the species no longer exist in the wild.

  It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone,20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild.He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century.

  “It is urgent and it is happening now.An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation(植被)every year,”Smith said.

  Because most of the world’s food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say.There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity.

  For Kew’s next goal-to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020-the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted.

  When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Leonard Bernstein gave a concert in Berlin, including Beethoven's Ode to Joy, with the word "Joy" changed to "Freedom" in the lyrics sung.The orchestra(管弦樂隊(duì))were drawn from both East and West Germany, as well as the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States.

  Freedom was in the air and it was not just for people. The wall between East and West Germany had also kept a large population of wild pigs within the eastern forests of Brandenburg.The wall's falling down made it easier for the big pigs—a very big one can weigh over 300 pounds—to leave the woodlands and walk into the town. Warm winters and easy access to food have helped the population increase. Now about 10,000 wild pigs walk around Berlin.

  The nature of the beast has added to the boom(興旺)."The pigs are intelligent," says Marc Franusch, a spokesman for the Berlin forestry department. "They learn to use the neighborhoods.They get used to people, dogs, and traffic." 

    The wild pigs tend to travel in small groups and have been found searching rubbish and gardens, feeding their piglets(小豬)in the shadow of parked cars, and crossing busy roads.On average, the animals are involved in one traffic accident every day. And despite the fact that it's illegal, some Berliners have been known to give the pigs food.

  Though wild pigs are protected under German law, the city's forestry department is permitted to kill 2,000 of the creatures every year, targeting mostly young adult animals in forests surrounding Berlin. Pigs within city limits are only shot if they make an immediate threat.No humans have yet been seriously wounded by them, but local dogs have been the victims of their tusks. "The forestry department is not aiming to get rid of the pigs," explains Franusch, "but we do have to reduce dangerous situations."

56.The concert in the first paragraph is given to     

    A.celebrate Bernstein's success

    C.express people's joy for freedom

    B.show the artists' delight of life

    D.remind people of fighting for rights

57.The following factors contribute to the boom of wild pigs EXCEPT     

A.warm winter                    B.a(chǎn)dequate food              

    C.their own nature D.the Berlin Wall

58.From the text we can know that     

A.it is against law to offer food to wild pigs

B.in Berlin people can never kill any wild pig

C.wild pigs each weigh more than three hundred pounds

D.traffic accidents are mainly caused by wild pigs in Berlin

59.The article mainly talks about     

A.how wild pigs are living in Berlin

B.when wild pigs were united in Berlin

C.why wild pigs in Berlin increase so rapidly

D.what damage wild pigs have done to Berliners
