D Over the last 1,400 years,populations of the Yangtze finless (porpoise have dramatically declined in China.But intensive surveys of its range only span the last couple of decades,leaving lots of gaps in scientists'knowledge of the species.In a creative blend of art and science,a new study uses historical poetry to chart the critically endangered animal's population across the river it calls home. The finless porpoises once lived throughout the entire Yangtze River,which stretehes-from the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea.Now,the only known freshwater porpoise in the world has fewer than 1,800 individuals left in the wild. The research team combed through databases of Chinese poetry to find references to the porpoise and map its past distribution.They found 724 poems that mentioned the animal,of which half noted where the porpoises were observed.Their findings were published in Current Biology. "Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction,climate change,overhunting,disease or the introduction of invasive species,"says leaa author Zhang Yaoyao,an ecologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 高二年级英话科试卷第6页共11页 The poems suggest the porpoise's range has decreased by 65%since the Tang dynasty.Most of that decline happened in the river's.tributaries and.lakes,where the animal's range has decreased by 91%.While the population decrease was mostly gradual,the sharpest decline has occurred over the past 100 years.That sudden drop aligns with human activities on the river, espeeially dam construction in the 1950s that biocked offthe porporse's-mevement to and trom the river's main channel. The work nighlights the connection between culture and science."Poems are actually ancient citizen science,and many Chinese poets werewell-educated intellectuals',"says Zhang. "These data are not perfect.But they do have a lot of information if you use them correctly." This approach has potential for uncovering the pasts of other endangered species as well. Previously,scholars have used medieval and ancient texts to understand things like volcanic eruptions,aureras and unusual whales. 32 What challenge do scientists face in their research about the porpaise'? A.Its population is hard to caiculate accurately. B.The long-term historical.data are insufficient. C.Its population has dropped off dramatically D.Locating its habitats is increasingly difficult. 33.How did ancient poems help with the research? A By providing records of the porpoise's past distribution. B.By explaining the causes of the species'gradual decline C.By showing how people protected the porpoise in history D.By introducing effective ways to study endangered animals. 34.What mainly contributed to the dramatic fall of the porpoise's populations? A.Poor resistance to diseases. B.Climate changes-over.time C.Human impacts on its habitats. D Competition with other species. 35.Why does the author mention"volcanic eruptions"in the last paragraph? A.To show major threats to endangered wildlife. B.To introduce challenges in ecological research. C.To prove the value of aneient texts in research. D.To reveal the wisdom of ancient Chinese poets. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多 余选项。 How to Use Digital Journals to Promote Your Self-Growth Keeping a journal is a classic way to process thoughts,but digital journaling apps-are making this practice more accessible and powerful than ever.36With the right strategies,however,these tools can become your most reliable companion for personal growth. 高二年级英语科试卷第7页共11页 Use joural prompts to beat writer's block.
