21、 Conservationists have long known that using pandas, tigers and other charismatic(有号召力的) species to front their campaigns is a good way to raise money. But some people argue that focusing on these “flagship” animals can ignore equally threatened but less cute ones.
Now Jennifer McGowan at Macquarie University in Sydney and her colleagues suggest that we can have it both ways, after finding that funding for flagship species also helps other threatened species in the surrounding areas. McGowan’s team first drew up a list of 534 flagship species in wildlife-rich hot spots around the world. The biodiversity areas were each split into grids (网格) of 100 by 100 kilometre squares. The researchers then compared two conservation approaches across eight simulated scenarios(模拟场景) which assumed different levels of human activity and protected areas.
The first focused on protecting flagship species, while the second aimed to protect the maximum number of species in an area, regardless of their fundraising potential. Their study has found that targeting grid squares with flagship species also protected 79 to 89 per cent of the non-flagship species in that area. The figure rose to 97 per cent in some scenarios. “The findings could help when choosing which species to promote. Flagship species are very effective at getting the public to care,” she says.
Morgan Trimble, the author of a paper that has found scientists also have a bias towards charismatic animals, says the results don’t surprise her. “While I think it’s important that we don’t lose sight of the bigger picture --- conserving species is about conserving all the component parts of ecosystems, even the not-so-cute species --- I think highlighting flagship species in fundraising and education is a practical idea and appeals to human nature,” she says. Trimble also asks what the alternative to using flagship species would be: randomly picking species? McGowan’s study found a random approach to choosing where to spend conservation funds only protected 39 to 55 per cent of the non-flagship species.
【1】What kind of animals do conservationists usually use to raise funds?
A.Less attractive animals.
B.Endangered flagship animals
C.Threatened but not necessarily cute species.
D.Charismatic but not necessarily threatened species.
【2】What has McGowan and her team’s study revealed?
A.It’s fair enough to focus on flagship species.
B.There are very few flagship species in grid squares.
C.Non-flagship species are poorly protected in general.
D.Flagship species are getting more than enough attention.
【3】What does Trimble think of the study’s outcome?
A.It needs to be further confirmed. B.It is in line with her expectations.
C.It is beyond her comprehension. D.It goes right against human nature.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.How to choose a charismatic species
B.The effects of human activity on animals
C.How to best channel conservation efforts
D.The role of fundraising in saving animals
22、Here's a new warning from health experts：sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods, even if you exercise regularly, could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place—in the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV. Just the overall number of hours it takes counts. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
While health officials have issued (发布) guidelines advising on the least amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals，” said EkblomBak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes controlling the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefits if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single hour.
Still in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether they exercised or not.
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits，” EkblomBak said. “And when they're in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible. ”
【1】The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “________”．
A. turn to B. work out
C. get rid of D. make use of
【2】Sitting too much is dangerous because it can ______.
A. make a person unable to exercise enough in a day
B. destroy the balance of glucose and fat the body
C. increase glucose and fat in the body
D. make a person become lazy
【3】In the opinion of EkblomBak, when at work, you'd better have a rest by ________.
A. sending your friends emails
B. taking a walk around your office
C. chatting online or playing computer games
D. listening to music while sitting
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Side Effects of Sitting Too Much
B. Don't Sit Too Much While Working
C. More and More People Sit Too Much
D. Sitting Too Much Could Be Dangerous
23、Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
【1】What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A gifted person.
B．A famous student.
C．A brilliant biologist.
D．A successful businessman.
【2】What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon?
A．He likes to make friends.
B．He is a well-rounded man.
C．He is a popular child actor.
D．He is poor at dealing with people.
【3】How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence?
A．Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B．Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C．Through participating in a special educational program.
D．Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
【4】What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills?
A．Teach him some communication rules.
B．Encourage him to speak in class.
C．Place him in social situations.
D．Let him go to school alone.
24、As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources become digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad.
Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books.
However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with iPads. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet and book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on iPads, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause some health problems, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, shoulder and back pain and so on. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.
Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have more benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to communicate with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered and benefits iPads can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.
While replacing libraries with iPads may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.
【1】Digital reading supporters may agree that ________.
A．the price is too high to maintain libraries
B．iPads make people’s learning less convenient
C．printed books are more efficient than digital ones
D．iPads encourage people to spend more time on line
【2】The author supports his idea in Paragraph 3 by________.
A．listing figures and showing studying results
B．highlighting the differences between the two media
C．comparing reading efficiency through different media
D．showing advantages and disadvantages of reading with iPads
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the functions of public libraries?
A．Unconcerned.
B．Confused.
C．Positive.
D．Negative.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．Why IPads Encourage People to Read?
B．Should Public Libraries Be Shut Down?
C．Will IPads Take the Place of Public Libraries?
D．How Are IPads And Public Libraries Different?
