Over time, some of their property and much of the surrounding landscape became the Mohonk Preserve, which has since grown to 8, 000 acres and attracts visitors and rock climbers.But the Mohonk Preserve also has a long scientific legacy. In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.Megan Napoli is a research ecologist with the Mohonk Preserve in New York. She thinks Smileys efforts produced a rare long-term data set of observations, which is useful for studying the impacts of climate change. For instance, other research has shown that songbirds are migrating north earlier and earlier in the spring.Its important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence. So they need to be here to establish their nesting sites, lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they have their baby birds, so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.Napoli found that short-distance migrants that spend their winters in the southern U. S. now arrive an average of eleven days earlier than they did in the 1930s. Long-distance migrants that overwinter in the tropics arrive roughly a week earlier. Napoli presented her results at a recent Ecological Society of America meeting in Portland, Oregon.Meanwhile, who knows how many other long-term, personal data collections like Smiley s are out there, waiting to be discovered and to help improve official attempts to track the planets changes. 24. What do we know about Dan Smiley?A. He lived in New York City. B. He was a scientific researcher.C. He owned the Mohonk Preserve. D. He kept a record of wildlife.25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The birds birth.B. The birds arrival.C. The nest building.D. The insect appearance.26. What does Megan Napoli think of Smileys long-term record?A. It has affected the birds migration. B. It challenges the previous research.C. It has changed official attitudes. D. It is of great value to her research.27. What can we learn from Napolis research?A. It is totally based on Smileys long-term notes. B. Scientists have to rely on more personal data.C. Climate change affects birds migration time. D. It contributes greatly to other personal research.CFamous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in ones journey through life.However, the popular Internet slang word foxi - or Buddhist - is challenging this norm by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible in other words, to live like a Buddha.The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in xx to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone elses life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.Now, Chinese Internet users are pairing the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who interfere (干涉) little with their childrens lives and let them develop however they like - the opposite of “helicopter parents”.In this fast-changing and petitive world, its only natural that people are seeking a spiritual anchor. However, some would pare foxi with “demotivational culture” - a phrase that describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because theyre incapable of succeeding.But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life. After all, Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”28. Which would be considered as “Buddhist” by Chinese Internet users?A. A man refusing to date with girls. B. A person refusing others advice.C. A parent caring too much about his child. D. A student never working extra hours.29. What does the underlined word “demotivational” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Full of energy.B. Lacking motivation.C. Physically healthy.D. Absent-minded30. Whats the writers suggestion to “Buddhist youngsters”？A. Being positive.B. Being cooperative.C. Being considerate.D. Being content31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Peaceful, or aimless?B. Foxi is popular nowadays.C. What should Buddhist youngsters do?D. Foxi helps live a wonderful life.DOn April 14th，xx，my entire life changed in an instantOne moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshineThe next moment，metal，flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crashAnother cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oning trafficAs if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life，another disaster also occurred on April 14th，xxIt cost the airline industryl.7billionTen million travelers were stuck for daysEconomies all over the world were disturbedThis was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Icelands many volcanoesHowever，volcanoes are not all badIn fact，they are necessaryThey are responsible for the birth of new earth，and for the creation of rich soilThis eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere dailyBut cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprintSimilarly，the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realizedI learned how not to judge myself for my new limitationsIn 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Eldfell，broke outIcelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different pathAfter their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地热） energy for the next 15years to heat their homesA good example of life bringing lemons，and making lemonade!
