话题:烟花庆祝,影响大雁
When fireworks are lit in celebration of the New Year, wild birds often experience lasting harmful effects.An international team of researchers tracked Arctic migratory(迁移的) geese as they traveled in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands over eight New Year periods to study the impacts of fireworks.Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year's Eve and fly farther away from where people are.
Geese's lives were disturbed by the noise and flashes and these geese ended up resting two hours less and sometimes flying nonstop as far as 310 miles compared to the nights when there were no fireworks.
Geese spend their winter in Western Europe to escape extreme Arctic winters in their breeding grounds.Still, winters here are maybe not severely cold, but rather dark.As predators(食肉动物) are around in the dark, geese can only search for food in the light hours.During the night, they usually settle on small lakes to save energy and rest in relative safety.During New Year's Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.
But their changed behavior didn't end with the fireworks.The geese didn't return to their original sleeping locations and spent more time searching for food to store energy for days after the celebrations ended.
The researchers hope that the findings will be used to improve fireworks management.They want to provide decision makers with real numbers to support their discussions.As already stated above, they suggest that some measures should be taken for geese to escape fireworks' disturbance during New Year's Eve—nationwide regulations regarding nature reserve areas and some centralization of fireworks displays, as well as lighting public fireworks in urban areas away from where the geese live.

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了新年放烟花对大雁的影响,作者建议在新年期间采取一些措施,让大雁避开烟花爆竹的干扰。
1.A [推理判断题。根据第一段“Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year's Eve and fly farther away from where people are.( 来自347只大雁的数据显示,鸟类在新年前夜突然离开它们睡觉的地方,飞得离人们所在的地方更远。)”可推断,大雁的生活受到烟花的干扰,所以作者认为大雁在新年期间的状况令人担忧。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据第三段“During New Year's Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.(在新年前夜,大雁非常害怕,因为烟花的声音和闪烁的灯光是它们意想不到的,它们认为这是对生命的威胁。)”可知,大雁害怕烟花。]
3.D [细节理解题。根据最后一段“ As already stated above, they suggest that some measures should be taken...away from where the geese live.( 如上所述,他们建议在新年期间采取一些措施,让大雁避开烟花爆竹的干扰——全国有关自然保护区的规定和一些集中的烟花表演,以及在远离大雁生活的城市地区燃放烟花。)”可知,研究者建议在远离大雁栖息地的地方燃放烟花。]
4.B [推理判断题。根据第一段“Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year's Eve and fly farther away from where people are.”第三段“During New Year's Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.”以及最后一段“The researchers hope that the findings will be used to improve fireworks management.”可知,本文主要介绍了新年放烟花对大雁的影响,属于自然范畴,因此这篇文章有可能被刊登在报纸的“自然”版面。]
