26、A saw-whet owl (猫头鹰) is recovering at a wildlife refuge in New York state after it was discovered glued to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. The bird was found by workers helping to transport the tree 170 miles from Oneonta to New York City.
“It’s just a story out of a movie,” said Ravensbeard Wildlife Center director Ellen Kalish, who is caring for the owl.
After the owl-now named Rockefeller-was dropped off with Ms Kalish and taken to the wildlife centre, her team began giving him fluids and “all the mice he will eat”. Rockefeller had not had anything to eat or drink during his three-day road trip. “It’s amazing he didn’t get hurt,” Ms Kalish said.
Rockefeller was taken to the vet on Wednesday night for a check-up and some X-rays, but Ms Kalish said he appears to be in great condition considering his adventurous week.
Diminutive as Rockefeller is, he is a full-grown adult. Saw-whet owls are the smallest owls in the US north-east, Ms Kalish said, typically growing to no more than 8.3 in (17-21cm) tall.
“They’re a very interesting species,” Ms Kalish said.They are “very” nocturnal, meaning they’re typically not seen unless someone is looking for them. Some migrate south for the winter, and some don’t migrate at all.
Once Rockefeller has a clean bill of health, Ms Kalish and the Ravensbeard team will release him back into the wild.” Our goal is to release any bird that can be released,” she said.
There are about two million saw-whet owls across the US, so Rockefeller will be OK if he doesn’t make it all the way back to Oneonta. “They find a new mate each year and go on with their lives,”she said.
With all the bad news of 2020, this little owl’s rescue “was a story that needed to be shared”, Ms Kalish said.

29、Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick.But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult . To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery . There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样).So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
【1】How do scientists study the past climate change?
A.By predicting the climate change in the future.
B.By drilling down deep into land sediments.
C.By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
D.By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.
【2】What is needed for drilling down into lake sediments?

D.The narrow path.
【3】What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To attract more people’s attention to CO2.
B.To call on people to protect rainforests.
C.To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests.
D.To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests.
