23、 The artificial lighting which lines the world’s coastlines could be having a significant impact on species that rely on the moon and stars to find food, new research suggests.
Creatures such as the sand hopper(沙蚤) orientate(确定方位)their nightly migrations based on the moon’s position and brightness of the natural night sky. However, a study by Bangor University and the University of Plymouth shows the presence of artificial light originating from cities several kilometres away (also known as artificial sky glow) disrupts the lunar compass they use when covering long distances.
In some cases, this can lead to animals travelling towards the sea and away from food, while in others it reduces the chance of them venturing out for food at all. Writing in Current Biology, researchers say this could pose a distinct threat not just to the health of sand hopper populations but also the wider ecosystem, since they play an important role in breaking down and recycling algae washed up on coastlines.
Dr. Thomas Davies, Lecturer in Marine Conservation at the University of Plymouth (UK), said, “Artificial sky glow is the most geographically widespread form of light pollution. Surveys have shown it can currently be detected above 23% of the world’s coasts nightly, and with coastal human populations set to at least double by 2060, its effects are only going to increase. Our results show it is already having obvious impacts on biological processes that are guided by celestial(天上的)light signals.”
Through the study, researchers find increasing evidence that light pollution from coastal cities can influence marine species inhabiting nearby beaches, rocky shores and even the seafloor. These results highlight how pervasive(遍布的)city lighting could be in shaping the ecology of coastlines kilometres distant from their nearest urban centres. They also highlight the potential for artificial sky glow to impact other species that undergo migrations using the moon as a compass.
“While our understanding of the impacts of street lights on nature has improved dramatically, artificial sky glow has been largely overlooked. More work is urgently needed to fully understand the extent to which it is shaping the natural environment.” Dr. Thomas Davies added.
【1】Which of the following could best replace “disrupts” in paragraph 2?
A.disturbs B.makes C.unites D.replaces
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The ways of creatures hunting food.
B.The causes of animals migrating at night.
C.The results of ecosystems being destroyed.
D.The influence of artificial light on creatures.
【3】What have researchers found about light pollution?
A.It is the main pollution in cities.
B.It shapes the ecology of the ocean.
C.It has a great influence on surroundings.
D.It affects the migrations of sea creatures.
【4】What does Dr. Thomas Davies think of the study of artificial sky glow?
A.It is useless. B.It is essential.
C.It is doubtful. D.It is challenging.
24、The world has undoubtedly changed in many ways due to the changing climate. Humanity has seen wildfires burn through the rolling hills of California and across Australian forests. Weather patterns have changed, and species of all kinds have had to adapt as well as they can.
A study out of the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, focuses on the Epaulette shark and their newly born pups. Native to the warm waters near Australia and New Guinea, this small species of shark is very interesting and adaptive. But all the evolutionary adaptive behaviors don’t take these sharks out of harm’s way.
Lauren Benoit, a marine scientist, weighed in on this issue, “Studies have found that warmer waters caused sharks to give birth faster and as a result the premature pups were smaller and lacked energy.” Lauren continued discussing the real impact of climate change on all sharks. “The problem is that the water is warming so rapidly that these sharks may not have enough time to adapt. The same goes for their prey (猎物), who are also trying to deal with the changing environment. Some species may be able to change their migration patterns to follow the colder water.”
The danger is clear and present. Lauren explains: “If these animals are born too soon, then the conditions they need to survive may not be present. Overtime, if some of the babies survive and are able to adapt to these temperatures, then future generations will be able to withstand the warmer environment.”
The warming conditions of the planet will be likely to influence everything living on Earth. Lauren helps us understand why we need to try and stop and change the impact of global warming from a shark’s perspective: “Overall, most sharks are cold-blooded and are very sensitive to temperature. As global ocean temperatures warm, it will become dangerous for shark populations.”
【1】What can we know about the sharks in the second paragraph?
A.Warmer waters help them grow better.
B.They have adapted to global warming.
C.Their new born babies are very lovely.
D.Their adaptation fails to keep them safe.
【2】How are warm waters affecting sharks?
A.They are challenging their babies’ growth.
B.They are making sharks more sensitive.
C.They are weakening their ability to swim.
D.They are causing sharks to die of coldness.
【3】What does the underlined word “withstand” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Ignore.
B.Survive.
C.Create.
D.Change.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Sharks’ prey tries to deal with warmer environment.
B.Baby sharks have adapted to higher temperatures.
C.Climate change has posed a threat to baby sharks.
D.Undeniable climate change causes global disasters.
