When peple think abut British music,fr the mst part they think abut the 60s r 70s with the likes f The Beatles and The Rlling Stnes r mre mdern artists like Adele r Ed Sheeran.Hwever,stuck between these tw ages was,in my pinin,British music’s best perid.The 90s were an ptimistic time fr Britain and indeed Eurpe,with the ecnmy recvering frm the lws f the 80s and the Cld War ending.
One f the defining features f 90s music was the birth f “Britpp”.This was a style f pp music that aimed t prmte “Britishness” and cmmnly featured electric guitars,drums and male singers.Britpp was the style used by wrld-famus bands such as Oasis,Blur,Pulp and Suede wh became knwn as “The Big Fur”.The summer f 1995 was dminated by the “Battle f Britpp” which was between Blur and Oasis fr the number ne spt.Eventually,Blur wn the battle and Oasis settled fr secnd.
Hwever,the 90s weren’t nly fr the bys,with majr female grups als finding fame,the mst well-knwn f which were “the Spice Girls” wh were extremely ppular in Britain and arund the wrld.Once again they prmted “Britishness” and had catchy meldies and lyrics,but they als started the “Girl Pwer” mvement which helped empwer girls and wmen wrldwide.It isn’t t far t assume that withut their music,many female singers and artists wh we lve tday wuld nt have had the cnfidence t pursue their dream.
British music may have had many great times,hwever the 90s are ften verlked.Althugh I was nt alive t enjy the music prperly,the 90s had a huge impact n British culture that can be felt tday and I feel that the decade shuld get the recgnitin it deserves!

The kakap,a bird that lives in New Zealand,is nt designed fr survival.Weighing up t 4 kilgrams,it is the wrld’s fattest parrt.It mates(交配) nly when the rimu tree is in fruit,which happens every few years.It develped gradually in the absence f land-based natural enemies,s instead f flying abve the trees it walks like a duck acrss the dry frest flr.When it mves unsteadily acrss smething that might kill it,it will stand still.
Such unusual characteristics turned it int fast fd fr human settlers,and fr the cats and rats they brught with them.It seemed t have disappeared by the 1970s,until scientists came acrss tw undiscvered ppulatins in the cuntry’s suth.These survivrs were eventually mved t small enemy-free islands,where researchers have spent decades trying t get them t breed(繁殖).
The scientists’ patience is finally rewarded.The rimu was in fruit this year,and mre than 80 chicks hatched,making this the best breeding seasn n recrd.Many have survived int adlescence,increasing the number f adult kakaps by a third,t 200 birds.
Anther danger t the kakap is a lack f genetic diversity.This is ne reasn why fewer than half f kakap eggs hatch.By arranging the genme(基因组) f every living bird,scientists can identify clsely-related individuals and put them n different islands.Every bird is fitted with smething t track its slightest mvement.If a female mates with an “unsuitable” male,the prcess can be stpped.
All these effrts cst almst New Zealand $1.3 millin this breeding seasn.Yet the kakap’s future still lks unsafe.Earlier this year a severe disease tre thrugh the ppulatin.And tiny as the number f kakaps is,space is running ut n the tw islands where mst f them live.New enemy-free settlement must sn be fund.
12.Which f the fllwing is a danger fr the survival f the kakap?
A.It is the smallest bird in the wrld.
B.It lacks exercise and usually stands still.
C.It adapts slwly in genetic develpment.
D.It can’t respnd actively when facing danger.
13.In what way may the scientists’ patience be rewarded?
A.Adequate fd supply fr kakaps was guaranteed.
B.New settlements fr kakaps were eventually fund.
C.Kakaps were becming increasingly aggressive.
D.Kakaps’ birth rate reached the highest level.
14.Why did the scientists put kakap in different islands?
A.T stp clsely-related kakaps mating.
B.T increase the ppulatin f kakaps.
C.T stp females mating with males.
D.T hatch mre kakaps’ eggs.
15.What des the authr think f the effrts t prtect the kakap in New Zealand?
A.Successful.B.Unsafe.
C.Dubtful.D.Inadequate.
