答案    It’s generally accepted that many species have yet to be discovered, / but until now nobody has devised a reliable way. / Suggestions for total numbers have ranged from 3 million to 100 million, / but most of these have been no more than intelligent guesses. / Scientists from the Census of Marine Life devised a counting method / by identifying numerical patterns linking data on known species. / They believe that there should be about 8.7 million types of living things, / three quarters of them animals and the rest plants. /The scientists warn that human activity is hastening extinction. / Many of the unknown species may disappear before we discover them.
解析 本文主题：地球上的物种。本文是一篇科普说明文，有一些大数字，如3 million，100 million，在听写时需注意。文中需要注意的较易拼错的单词有“species，reliable，intelligent，census，marine，numerical”，需要注意时态和单复数的单词有“devised，patterns，quarters，extinction”。
