The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds which could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.
By studying the data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, drier climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study.“That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.

“We hope conservation biologists will use the information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies (树冠) and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. The researchers then entered the collected data into a statistical model to simulate (模拟) climate change to study how the insects would respond.

1.What does the new study in North America show?( )
B
A.Pests could destroy many North American crops.
B.Some ground beetles will not survive climate change.
C.The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.
D.Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change.Some could decline.可知,北美的这项新研究表明,一些步甲科昆虫将无法在气候变化中生存。故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明,在北美发现的能够保护农作物的近2,000种步甲科昆虫中,有一些面临气候威胁。

2.What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in Paragraphs 3 and 4?( )
D
A.There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
B.Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C.Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.
D.The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognised.
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,气候变化会影响步甲科昆虫,而这种昆虫的减少会影响农业和森林生态系统。再根据第四段中的Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person.In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems可知,步甲科昆虫对生态系统非常有益,但普通人基本上看不到它们。邱桐在论文中展示了它们对森林和农业生态系统中整个群落的广泛影响。因此邱桐想表达的是,步甲科昆虫的重要性应该得到广泛的认识。故选D项。

Variety makes things fresh and interesting; it keeps your brain sharp and your body alive—part of the reason why we feel refreshed after a holiday is the break from routine.1. . So doing things differently might take a bit of effort at first, but you’ll soon feel the benefits. Whether it’s learning a skill, or visiting somewhere new, these all require different ways of thinking.
“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind-set, to upsize our knowledge of the world,” says Susan Sanders, a health coach. “2. . It’s the learning that makes the difference, firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.”
Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change their life and train for a new career.“As humans, we are meant to grow, stretch, and expand,” says Francesca Kastelanides, founder and director of Beam Academy.“3. . Although it will most likely be challenging at times, if your reason is strong enough, you will always gain the benefits.”
4. . “When starting a new journey, ask yourself what you hope to gain, why you want to make this move, and what you expect to get out of it in the end.”

An Honest Mistake
Jane again examined the words on her spelling test. If she got them all right today, she would win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary. What’s more, Mrs White had promised to sing a song if anyone got a perfect score.
Another three words left. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She had spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”.She hurriedly erased the “t-y” and wrote “l-y” before handing in her paper.
Mrs White graded the test papers during the break. In the meanwhile, Jane sat nervously in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Mrs White walked to the front of the room, cleared her throat and started to sing.
“Congratulations, Jane! You did it!” She announced while singing.

The whole class burst into applause! Mrs White herself presented Jane with her prize. Jane grinned as she read the note on the dictionary, “To Jane, for her perfect performance.”
“Everything OK?” Mum asked as Jane burst through the front door after school. Jane didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mum hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Jane took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in mid-air. She just couldn’t believe her own eyes.“Honesly”?
Yes! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
Mum sensed something unusual and asked what happened. Jane squeezed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mum brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed. After drinking a little, Jane sat on the sofa in the living room, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she didn’t deserve the prize? That Mrs White sang the beautiful song for nothing?
