Roads and bridges were washed away, and the park's gateway communities were cut off from roads. Scientists and managers recognize the significance of the flood. While it will take more research to confirm if climate change made the flood more extreme, the 2021 Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment predicts more annual precipitation in the region. Changes have been already recorded in the snowpack. June precipitation this year is also expected to be higher than normal. As temperatures rise, the rain - snow events are projected to become more frequent at higher latitudes in western North America, while lower snowpack will make them less intense. Bruce Stein, chief scientist of the park, said the park needs to take preventative steps like building bioswales and culverts. Roads and bridges need to be rebuilt and strengthened. It's urgent and necessary for the park to prepare for future climate change. 28. What do we know about the flood? A. It's the most destructive one ever. B. It has been predicted successfully. C.

Climate Planning: Why Is It Important to Yellowstone? D. Climate Change: Does It Mean More Rain for Yellowstone? D Politicians, business bosses, and other powerful people often use hand movements when speaking. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics conducted an experiment. They showed videos of people speaking with and without hand movements to volunteers and asked them questions about what they had heard. Researchers found that the volunteers were more accurate when the words were spoken with the correct hand gestures. Body language expert Joe Navarro said that hand gestures can change the meaning of our words and make them more agreeable. The research team said that hand gestures are an important part of communication that have a direct impact on what the listener hears. 32. What's the researchers' purpose of doing the experiment? A. To examine the volunteers' interpreting skills. B. To test the effect hand movements have on listeners. C. To report the volunteers' responses to speakers. D.

What does the underlined word “combination” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Assistance. B. Combination. C. Disturbance. D. Translation. 35. What may the researchers suggest? A. Responses to gestures are being studied. B. In - person communication helps interpreters. C. Understanding gestures is mostly about guessing. D.
