课时检测训练5　必修第一册　Unit 5　Into the wild 对应学生用书P290 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·内蒙古赤峰市高三一模)Pigeons have a bad reputation.Maybe these birds' familiarity makes them an easy target：They are common residents of every continent，save Antarctica.Some people think pigeons are dirty or diseased，as they spend chunks of their days pecking at trash.Others might ignore them entirely，or perhaps go so far as to call them “rats with wings”．But Rosemary Mosco，a science writer，cartoonist，and naturalist，believes these creatures deserve more respect.“We've gotten them super wrong，” she says. In Mosco's latest book，A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching，she shares her positive views of the species that fell_from_grace．Once highly valued for their meat，and way finding abilities，pigeons are now largely rejected by human society.But Mosco，a lifelong city­dweller，has always found them fascinating.“If you do watch them，you're just entranced，” she says.Her travel­sized book details pigeons' coloration，field marks，and anatomy (解剖结构).But it's more than a field guide.It's also an informative account of pigeon history，biology，and behavior，complete with Mosco's delightful illustrations. Because pigeons' fates are so connected with our own，pigeon history closely mirrors ours.Pigeons were distributed across the globe due to centuries of European exploration and colonization.In North America colonists hunted the native Passenger Pigeon for meat and destroyed its native forest habitat，driving it to extinction.Wherever humans domesticated pigeons，some escaped and went wild.Today's city pigeons are descended from those birds. Mosco says she's met more birders who like pigeons than those who hate them.Birders，with well­developed observation skills，can understand pigeons' entertaining behavior，she says.Plus，if pigeons aren't enough of a draw on their own，there could be predators，such as hawks or falcons，nearby. She wants all her readers to be kind to pigeons.But she also hopes that some will follow their pigeon fancy and become hooked on birding.“It's my secret plot，” she says.After reading her book，you may agree with her that pigeons are as worthy a spark bird as any other.

The research，done on rivers in Colorado，found the wooden barriers built by beavers raise water level upstream.As it builds up，the water flows into surrounding soils and secondary waterways.These acts separate out extra nutrients and pollutants before water reenters the main channel downstream. Extreme weather events，such as severe storms，impact water quality in major river systems.Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent，and the scientists have also found they are contributing to an increase in the American beaver in the US，and consequently an explosion of dam building. The team chose to monitor a 40­kilometer stretch of the East River.They reviewed data on water levels gathered hourly by sensors fixed in the river and the areas along the river. They also collected water samples，including from below the ground's surface to monitor nutrient and pollutant levels.The researchers compared water quality along the stretch during a historically dry year，to water quality the following year when water levels were unusually high.They also compared these year­long datasets to water quality during the nearly three­month period，starting in late July 2018，when the beaver dam blocked the river. The study revealed the dams increased nitrate (硝酸盐) by nearly 50% by increasing the pressure of the water flow upstream 10 times over，which pushed more water out into the surrounding areas.This decrease in nitrates，which are absorbed and digested by tiny organisms in the soil，helped increase the oxygen content and quality in the rivers. Beavers' handiwork is responsible for the land they love. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了海狸通过筑坝的方式，帮助保护了受气候变化威胁的河流。 5．What do the wooden barriers created by beavers act as? A．Waterways. B．Samples. C．Dams.
