While many animal ppulatins seem t dwindle, ne species that is mving in the ppsite directin f such lss is America’s native wildlife — wd strk.
The wd strk is the nly strk that breeds in Nrth America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its ppulatin decreased sharply t just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird wuld becme cmpletely extinct by 2000. Tday, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is prpsing a delisting f the wd strk as an endangered species. S hw did the ppulatin bunce back?
The success is in part dwn t the resurcefulness f the wd strk. The wd strk’s native hme was in the Everglades in Flrida, but it migrated nrth as the Everglades were being destryed by develpment f mankind. Wetland preservatin and restratin, prtectin f nesting areas, and management f water flws began with the apprval f the wd strk’s first recvery plan in 1986. In the fllwing year, frmer Savannah Castal Refuges bilgist Jhn Rbinette nticed strk nests in Gergia as strk ppulatins mved t safer wetlands.
Accrding t Stephanie Kurse, a senir plicy specialist at the Centre fr Bilgical Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is als t thank fr this recvery. She said, “The act saved the wd strk and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats thrughut the sutheast, which has imprved water quality and benefited cuntless ther species wh call the area hme.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent f the species that were n the list since 1973. A hundred types f plants and animals have been delisted as their ppulatins becme stable again.
If the wd strk is delisted, it will remain prtected by ther laws and a mnitring plan will be put in place t ensure the ppulatin remains stable.
28．What des the underlined wrd dwindle prbably mean?
A．Bst.B．Change.C．Explde.D. Decline.
29．What can we learn abut the wd strk in paragraph tw?
A．Its ppulatin shws a rising trend.B．It has becme cmpletely extinct.
C．It is widely distributed wrldwide.D．It is the mst endangered species.
30．What threatened the ppulatin f the wd stck?
A．Climate change f Earth.B．Impact f human activities.
C．Ppularity f water sprts.D．Arrival f ther wild animals.
31．What is a direct result f the Endangered Species Act?
A．Peple have safer water t drink.B．The wd stck has flwn away.
C．The lcal ecnmy has bmed.D．A list f species have been saved.

Aernautics (航空学) specialists frm the University f Suth Australia spent mnths studying the dragnfly’s flight, creating 3D mdels frm digital images, t build a winged drne (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drnes based n the dragnfly’s shape and mvement will simply be mre flexible and energy efficient.
Chahl’s team used a special phtgraphy technique t classify the wing shapes f 75 different dragnfly species frm museum cllectins. Their wings are lng, light and hard. Plus, their lng bdies give them excellent stability and balance, making it pssible fr winged drnes t deliver awkward lads and undertake lng bservatin missins.
Investigating the way that dragnflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use t get themselves ut f tricky situatins. Dragnflies are fund t be able t perfrm upside-dwn backflips t regain balance and nrmal flight, when they find themselves upside dwn mid-air. This special skill can even be perfrmed while dragnflies are uncnscius, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in cncept t planes that are designed t glide t safety with their engines turned ff. Engineers are lking t cpy dragnfly wings t create safer drnes that can right themselves.
Of curse, nt all attempts t build dragnfly-like drnes are successful. TechJet’s air vehicle was suppsed t perate as an aerial camera, bservatin and security drne, but it failed befre prductin gt underway. Similarly, Insectthpter, an American dragnfly spy drne built in the 1970 s was deserted.
Yet the principles behind winged drnes are slid. In fact, NASA has settled n a nuclear-pwered autnmus craft called Dragnfly t explre the surface f Saturn’s mn Titan in 2034. NASA’s prject is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drne, but engineers are still cnvinced they can crack the cde f nature’s mst gifted flying insect and revlutinize unmanned flight alng the way.
32．Why did aernautics specialists spend mnths studying the dragnfly’s flight?
A．T make winged drnes mdelled after it.
B．T build 3D mdels frm digital images.
C．T clarify the flexibility and efficiency f drnes.
D．T display the shape and mvement f the dragnfly.
33．The special skill f dragnflies is their ability t_________.
A．glide t safetyB．avid tricky situatins
C．perfrm bservatin tasksD．adjust themselves t stay stable
34．Why the authr mentins TechJet’s air vehicle and Insectthpter in para.4 ?
A．T shwcase the inventins f engineers.
B．T cmpare dragnfly-like drnes with ther aircrafts.
C．T illustrate failed attempts f building dragnfly-like drnes.
D．T explain the disadvantages f these aircrafts.
35．Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Winged Drnes: Still a Lng Way t G
B．Javaan Chahl: An Innvative Leader f Aernautics
C．A Dragnfly’s Flying Technique: Perfect fr Drnes
D．The Cde f Nature: A Slutin t NASA’s Space Explratin

Have yu ever taken a persnality test and fund the results t be scarily accurate, checked yur hrscpe (星象学) and had everything cme true r taken an nline quiz that tld yu precisely what yur favrite Disney princess means abut yu? Well, we certainly have dne s t many times. 36
We discvered that we’ve all been falling victim t the Barnum effect. 37 , despite the fact that the descriptin is actually filled with infrmatin that applies t everyne. It was named after P.T. Barnum, a famus 19th century shwman, wh wuld famusly say, “There’s a fl brn every minute.”
38 as pseudscience (伪科学) — such as astrlgy and persnality test — remains ppular t this day. The Barnum effect explains why extremely general statements, such as the results f yur persnality test, seem s specific t yu.
The key t success f astrlgy and persnality test keep the statements as vague as pssible, with a mix f mstly psitive and sme negative cntent. 39 See “At times yu are extrverted and sciable, while at ther times yu are intrverted and reserved”— wh wuld nt agree with that statement?
40 Take everything yu hear with several grains f salt.
Indeed, Barnum prved t be right.
Yu believe in such mysterius tests firmly.
Nt every statement are wrth cnsidering.
S, keep in mind that we are nt immune t the Barnum effect.
Fr example, using the phrase “at times” makes fr a pwerful Barnum Effect.
Therefre, We decided t d a little investigatin int hw Internet quizzes, magazines and hrscpe bks seem t knw us s well.
The Barnum Effect is the phenmenn that ccurs when individuals believe that persnality descriptins apply specifically t them.

As I was packing up, I nticed my clleague had left his laptp bag in my ffice. Since he was already hme, I decided t bring it t him. It was 4:30 p. m. The snw wasn’t suppsed t start until later accrding t the previus warning, but just t be safe, I decided t use the cuntry rads near his hme instead f the highway, which culd fast becme a skating rink (滑冰场).
