wide have been declining since the 1970s. A new warning is that over 40 percent of insect species may die
out in the future. According to some researchers, the number of insects 2 (become) smaller and smaller
every year.
In addition, Dave Goulson, a professor at the University of Sussex, said that a lot of insects 3 (kill)
these days by pesticides(杀虫剂) used for farming and gardening. He told reporters, “Three quarters of our
crops depend on insect pollinators(传花粉者). If we don't take any measures, we won't even have fruits like
strawberries. Actually, a large quantity of rice 4 (consume) every day. But without insects, there would

Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2026江苏省南通中学期中]
Through evolution, animals have developed different ways to protect themselves from predators. Tur-
tles hide in their shells, and skunks release a smelly liquid. But these natural defenses do not work against
cars. Environmental writer Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these protections are useless—or
even make things worse. Staying still is the most dangerous choice. Roadkill is a major danger to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, limiting animals' freedom to move. The steady flow of traffic on highways
creates what experts call a “moving fence”—one that animals are afraid to cross. While we often see dead
animals like deer or squirrels on the road, we don't see the ones that never attempt to cross. This separation
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
can harm animal groups more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also harm the environment. Every year, the U.S. uses 20 million tons of road salt
to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave
microplastics behind. These pollutants make roadside areas unsafe for species such as monarch butterflies,
even though these zones could otherwise offer useful habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food sources like flowers or fruits, but this becomes an “e-
cological trap”. Animals come for the food, only to face the risk of being hit by cars.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals adapt quickly. Researchers in the Bay Area found that
when cars were absent for months, white-crowned sparrows—a type of small songbird—began singing more
complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to
their natural way of communicating. This shows how deeply roads affect wildlife—but also how flexible an-
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
imals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb points out that some species have learned to cope in remarkable ways.
He mentions that urban foxes in Chicago are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We often
think roads only harmful to animals, and it's true that they cause a lot of damage,” he says. “But wildlife
is also surprisingly adaptive and smart. Animals are finding ways to survive in a human-dominated world.”
