Deadly wildfires damaged Maui, Hawaii, and at least 55 people died. Social media was

filled with people looking for their loved ones. As things developed, other heartfelt pleas (请求) were also appearing online : Pet owners who were lucky enough to escape from the fire but could not take their pets with them were asking for help.

“If there was any chance that they were alive and out there, please help me find them. We left in such a rush because the fire was right behind us. My heart hurt so much,” wrote Lily, posting photos of her cats on Facebook. “Please keep a lookout for our dogs that we love more than anything,” John wrote, attaching photos of two dogs.

In response, thousands of people were giving support. Many tried to spread awareness about found animals. “The community has just stepped up (主动站出来) like crazy. They’ve shown their support in different ways,” said Katie Shannon, Maui Humane Society’s marketing director. “It’s really inspiring to see how many residents care.”

A dog was rescued by a local volunteer firefighter. The dog arrived at the Maui Humane Society with serious burns on her body. Shannon said, “She was stable (病情稳定的) and in our care. She was one of the lucky ones. Thousands of other displaced (流离失所的) animals probably wouldn’t make it out alive.”

Given that the shelter was already at full capacity (容纳能力) , staff put out a plea on social media, asking for much needed donations and help, so they could free up space at the shelter and get needed supplies. In less than 24 hours, the organization raised more than $280,000. Many local residents offered to keep displaced animals and more than 100 animals were taken in by volunteers. People also donated dog and cat food and other important supplies.

An experiment in central Mexico brings hope for the important winter habitat of millions of moving monarch butterflies (帝王蝶). When scientists planted hundreds of young oyamel firs (冷杉) about 100 kilometers from their native habitat, they weren’t sure how many trees would survive. Today, researchers report in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change that most are growing well. Even at 3,800 meters above sea level, high above where they usually grow, nearly 70% of the young trees have survived at least three years.

Every fall, monarch butterflies move from southern Canada to the mountains of central Mexico. They sleep through the winter only on the oyamel firs. Thousands might gather on a single branch. However, the forests and the butterflies are in peril. Monarch butterflies’ populations continue to drop, and due to climate change, oyamel firs are expected to almost disappear by 2090.

“We need to move the forests to a higher location,” says Cuauhtémoc Sáenz-Romero, a forest geneticist in Mexico. Oyamel firs, growing between 2,400 and 3,500 meters, need cold mountain air to survive. The cold at higher places also slows the metabolism (新陈代谢) of butterflies, making them survive the long winter. As central Mexico gets warmer, new generations of oyamel firs will likely be moved higher.

Sáenz-Romero’s team collected oyamel fir seeds from 3,100 to 3,500 meters in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and grew them in a nursery (苗圃). They planted around 960 trees at four locations on the Nevado de Toluca volcano. Three years later, the higher location the trees were planted at, the smaller and shorter they were. However, many survived their first year, indicating long-term survival.

Turning the experiment into reality would face many challenges, including getting the community’s and government’s support. And even if the trees can survive, another question remains: Will the monarch butterflies find them? During the winter of 2023-2024, some large monarch groups didn’t sleep through the winter in the reserve.

5．What do we know about the experiment of planting oyamel fir trees?

A．It would help monarch butterflies fly farther.

B．It would benefit monarch butterflies’ habitat.

C．It focused on the monarch butterflies’ food.

D．It was carried out by Mexican locals every fall.

6．What does the underlined word “peril” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Danger. B．Harmony. C．Balance. D．Safety.

7．What can we infer from the result of the tree-planting?

A．Trees at higher locations would exist longer.
