21、Earth's longest artificial structure is usually said to be the Great Wall of China while the second-longest is not a wall, but a fence. It stretches for 5,614km across eastern Australia and is intended to stop the country's wild dogs, the dingoes, from hunting sheep.
Australia's dingo fence does not stand alone. Millions of kilometres of fences wrap the world. Some are intended to limit the movement of animals, some the movement of people, and some merely to mark the the boundary.
Until recently, data on the effects of fences on wildlife have been inadequate. That has changed with the publication of a report by professor Alex McInturff. One discovery he has made is that more than half of published fence research focuses on just five countries-America, Australia, Botswana, China and South Africa. A second is that only a third of these studies examined the impact of fences on anything other than the target species involved, meaning the animals purposely intended to be kept in or out.
Non-target species, however, are often those that have their fortunes most greatly reshaped by the appearance of poles and wire. Australian fences intended to keep out dingoes are also barriers to long-necked turtles, which travel great distances over land when moving between nesting sites. In Botswana fences built to spare cattle from wildlife-borne disease result in serious interference with wildebeest (角马）migrations.
Not every creature fares badly. Hawks (鹰）in Montana gladly sit on newly built livestock fences to hunt small animals, while fence-based spiders in South Africa outperform their tree-based cousins when it comes to catching insects.
Often, though, the winners are creatures that cause trouble for existing ecosystems. Keeping dingoes out of large parts of Australia has allowed aggressive red foxes to multiply. Native rodents (啮齿类动物）have suffered as a result. Some have been brought to the edge of extinction.
【1】Which is a purpose of building fences?
A．To expand the boundary of a country.
B．To protect livestock like sheep and cattle.
C．To stop wild animals from being hunted.
D．To help people move around freely.
【2】What can we learn about the studies on fences?
A．Data on the impact of fences have been proved.
B．50% of the studies focus on just five countries.
C．Previous researches were complete and systematic.
D．About two-thirds of the studies focus on the target animals.
【3】Which animals unexpectedly benefit from fences?
A．Cattle in Botswana.
B．Wildebeest in Botswana.
C．Red foxes in Australia.
D．Native rodents in Australia.
【4】What is the writer's attitude to the fences around the world?
A．Disapproving.

22、
Join a Project There are many opportunities to become a citizen scientist in national parks. Check out some park-sponsored projects below. You can find additional projects on external sites like SciStarter.com and CitizenScience.gov. And if you're accustomed to using programs like eBird or iNaturalist, you can continue to do so in any national park, even on your own. What can you do as a citizen scientist in a national park? Most likely you’ll collect data and upload them to a database. In some cases, you can explore, graph, and analyze data. If the project is new, you may be able to make suggestions about study design or procedures. In all cases, you will learn and experience real science. And you'll do it in the places you love. | |

23、Europe loves bicycle
Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, noisy horns, and inadequate bike lanes and parking areas can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans passion for cycling. According to BBC,bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states last year.
In some European countries just like Denmark and the Netherlands, people really love bicycles.
But BBC reported that Spain is also embracing bicycling: for the first time on record, bicycles outsold cars in the country in 2012.
And it’s becoming a continent-wide phenomenon. “people ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery
store,” Bill Strickland, executive editor of Bicycling magazine, told Reuters.
So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?
“Cycling is a safe, clean, healthy way to get around,” the Daily Star concluded. “it not only reduces traffic congestion and pollution, abut also contributes to public health.”
Bike-friendly policies have also contributed to the phenomenon.
Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative(倡议) to make bicycles on the par with (与......平分秋色) cars as a form of urban transport. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer extensive networks of well-marked bike lanes.
Copenhagen take it as a step future by keeping bicycles and motor vehicles physically separate as much as possible. On these routes, stoplights are adjusted to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. And the routs are lined with bicycle pump stations that are designed to the Daily Star.
For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycles alone may not be time-efficient. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.
Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. The Daily Star reported that Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack (架子), which then revolves underground. When you want your bike back, the rack rotates (旋转) it back to the surface.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. In Denmark, all bike lanes are separated from motorized traffic.
B. In Copenhagen, cyclists are given priority (优先) over drivers in many traffic situations.
C. Bicycles are not allowed to be taken onto subway trains in most European countries.
D. Amsterdam’s cycling network and underground parking system is the most advanced in the world.
【2】The underlined word “embracing” in Para3 is closest in the meaning to _____.
A. getting worries about
B. taking little interest in
C. accepting gladly
D. including as a part of something larger
【3】What’s the purpose of the underlined sentence?
A. It shows the popularity of bicycles.
B. It shows why people dislike bicycles.
C. It serves as an introduction of why Europeans like bicycles.
D. It serves as a warning of difficulty in riding a bicycle.
【4】More and more Europeans prefer bicycles because ________.
A. They think cycling is a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around.
B. Cars are usually caught in traffic jams.
C. Governments require them to do so.
D. It is convenient to park their bicycles.

25、In one of our parenting disagreements, my husband stated that our kids should address adults as Mr. or Ms./ Mrs. and that our kids’ friends should call us Mr. and Mrs. Badzin. While I agreed with my husband in theory, I found the practice surprisingly _________ to follow. I didn’t want to send mixed messages to our children about how to speak to _________, nor did I want to _________ our friends who prefer to be addressed by their first _________. Rather than agreeing on the issue, for many years we came to terms: we were Nina and Mr. Badzin.
When other adults necessarily asked if we preferred their kids to _________ us as Mr. and Mrs. Badzin, I often said, “He’s Mr. Badzin, _________ call me Nina.”
Maybe, like many moms I know, I was the one who didn’t want to feel old. In those early years, it seemed that being called Nina was the best way to handle the _________ situation of everyone else in our _________ circle preferring first names.
The first time my opinion _________ was the day that my son had a new friend over who walked up to me and __________ said, “Mrs. Badzin, may we please have a snack?” “Call me Nina” was on the tip of my __________, but I suddenly realized that this little boy __________ me Mrs. Badzin wasn’t about me. It’s about his parents’ __________ for their child to demonstrate __________, and there’s no question his parents had __________. I felt envious of his parents who __________ less about what people thought than I did. I __________ them for going against the modern trend. That day __________ the Mrs. Badzin seed. As our kids started having more playdates, I was struck by the fact that compared to a child, I was __________, and I ought to be respected for my __________.
Now I want to be Mrs. Badzin more than Nina.
