Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects-an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic
diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in
species richness between tropical and temperate regions
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321 This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well
confirmed
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood Indeed,
comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal
communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New
Trang 5World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species It is hoped that by
focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized
Question 47 The word "striking" in line 7 is closest in meaning to………
Question 48 The author mentions tropical Asia in lines 16-17 as an example of a location where……
A butterfly behavior varies with climate
B butterflies are affected by human populations
C documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species
D a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established
Question 49 Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists?
A Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions
B Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups
C Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region
D European butterfly habitats
Question 50 The word "generated" in line 24 is closest in meaning to………
Question 51 Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because
they………
A are simple in structure B are viewed positively by people
C have been given scientific names D are found mainly in temperate climates
Question 52 All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT…
A differences between temperate and tropical zones
B variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants
C migration among temperate and tropical zones
D patterns of distribution of species in each region
Question 53 The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to………

A Their physical characteristics B Their adaptation to different habitats

answer to each of the questions from 67 to 75
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects-an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic
diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in
species richness between tropical and temperate regions
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321 This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well
confirmed
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood Indeed,
comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal
communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species It is hoped that by
focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized
Question 67 All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT…
A differences between temperate and tropical zones
Trang 18B migration among temperate and tropical zones
C variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants
D patterns of distribution of species in each region
Question 68 The author mentions tropical Asia in lines 16-17 as an example of a location where……
A a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established
B butterfly behavior varies with climate
C butterflies are affected by human populations
D documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species
Question 69 The word "striking" in line 7 is closest in meaning to………
Question 70 Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because
they………
A are simple in structure B are viewed positively by people
C are found mainly in temperate climates D have been given scientific names

Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects-an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic
diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in
species richness between tropical and temperate regions
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321 This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well
confirmed
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood Indeed,
comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal
communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species It is hoped that by
focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized
