21、Bats are nature’s pest patrol. They consume large quantities of night flying insects, including some that annoy farmers. But habitat loss and climate change, as well as infectious diseases, are reducing bats’ ability to do their job. A new study adds another item to the list: wildfires. But not too many — too few.
In California’s Sierra Nevada ecosystem, bats have adapted to occasional wildfires. But fire-prevention policies have kept some areas unburned for unusually long periods, resulting in denser (更稠密的) forests with thicker undergrowth. “We wanted to see how these changes in how fires are burning might be influencing bat biodiversity,” says Zack Steel, who conducted the research.
Steel and his colleagues used microphones to count bats by recording their distinctive echolocation (回声定位) over four years at six sites in the Sierra Nevada. Three of the areas had recently endured fires, and three remained unburned.
Seventeen bat species call these forests home. The study revealed that eight of them tended to frequent the unburned patches, whereas 11 used the burned areas (some species visited both). “We expected to see Group A (the more open-habitat-adapted-species) benefiting from fire and Group B (the more clutter-adapted species) being negatively affected by fire, preferring the unburned areas,” Steel says. “But even some of those species were occurring more often in burned areas.”
“When there’s lots of variation in habitat after a fire, many species benefit in different ways,” says University of Connecticut biologist Andrew Stillman, “On the whole, the community (群体) becomes more diverse, and that’s a good thing for the landscape.”
Putting out wildfires early leads to some species losing out on food and resources.
“Fire is a natural part of the ecosystem, and many animals require the disturbance from fire to create the types of habitat that they need,” Stillman adds. “It demonstrates another negative consequence of keeping wildfire away from fire-adapted forests in California.”

23、IMAGINE if, to collect your salary each month, you had to walk to the nearest town, perhaps tens of miles away, to gather in a school or a football court or a church. There, you and your colleagues wait for a man to arrive from the capital, perhaps a thousand miles away, with a suitcase of cash.
Few countries are as corrupt as Congo(刚果). Mobutu Sese Seko, a former strongman, used state funds to charter a Concorde to take him on shopping trips to Paris. By the time of his overthrow in 1997, graft was endemic. Government employees were not paid but rather expected to use their positions to make a living. Among the most prized government jobs was that of accountant: the people responsible for transporting bags of cash to the provinces to hand out to employees.
In 2012, however, the Congolese government started helping civil servants to open bank accounts. Around three-quarters of them—some 670,000 people—now have one. In the process, the government has weeded out tens of thousands of ghost employees, since the embezzlers who invented them could not open accounts in their names without a matching ID.
Yet in a vast country with fewer roads than Luxembourg, hardly anyone lives anywhere near a bank branch. So Congolese banks must now do the work the government accountants used to: shipping money to the remote area. Cash has to be transported to branches in regional capitals, and thence to account-holders on the backs of motorbikes, in canoes or by foot. Bank staff with suitcases of cash make easy targets, just as they did in the west of America in the 19th century. Though they usually travel with armed policemen, there have been at least ten armed robberies of bank employees since January.
At the moment banks are little more than money-transfer companies, and not very sophisticated ones at that. The transfers tend to go only one way—out of Kinshasa—so cannot be netted against each other; instead cash almost always has to be moved physically. Therefore, most Congolese bankers hope that the new system will promote the growth of a proper banking system.

A. The transfers are netted against one another
B. The cash may be robbed away
C. Most cash has to be moved physically
D. They sometimes have to walk to transfer cash
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the article?
A. Unavoidable robberies B. Frequent corruption
C. Cash on the way D. Best banking system
24、 Due to its faraway location in the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand was one of the last countries to be discovered by humans. Although most of the current population are European descendants, it was the minority group known as the Maori who were the first to settle there. 【1】.
Maori arts are very popular with tourists. The Waka is a traditional canoe (独木舟) that has been skillfully carved out of a tree trunk, with beautiful carvings added to show tribal (部落的) history and culture. 【2】. Visitors to Maori historic buildings can also see beautifully carved wooden architecture. In addition, there are countless smaller objects and masks that were made to honour ancestors or legends.
【3】 It is made famous by New Zealand’s national rugby union team, who often perform it before games. The kapa haka is a traditional dance performed for celebrations, special guests, and battle ceremonies. The performance includes different dances and songs that make up a whole.
Traditional tattoos (纹身), known as “moko”, are also a strong visual part of Maori culture. They are most often done in circle forms across a man’s face, and on the chin (下巴) and lips of a woman. They represent a person’s social class, and are also believed to increase attractiveness. 【4】. It is often part of a ceremony to signal a person has passed an important milestone.
There is so much more for visitors to discover about Maori culture. 【5】: a multicultural country that is forever developing in new and interesting ways.
A．Receiving moko is seen as a great honour
B．Maoris, whether young or old, are all dance lovers
C．However, New Zealand is also known for its diverse cultures
