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.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd dwindle prbably mean?
A．Bst.
B．Change.
C．Decline.
D．Explde.
【小题2】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.
【小题3】What threatened the ppulatin f the wd stck?
A．Climate change f Earth.
B．Ppularity f water sprts.
D．Arrival f ther wild animals.
C．Impact f human activities.
【小题4】What is a direct result f the Endangered Species Act?
A．Peple have safer water t drink.
B．A list f species have been saved.
D．The wd stck has flwn away.
C．The lcal ecnmy has bmed.
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.
【小题1】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.
【小题2】The special skill f dragnflies is their ability t_________.
A．glide t safety
B．avid tricky situatins
C．perfrm bservatin tasks
D．adjust themselves t stay stable

【小题3】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.
【小题4】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

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).
After I drpped ff the laptp case and gt right back n the rad, the snw started. Within minutes I was in a whiteut. I rlled dwn my windw,
thinking I culd fllw the edge f the rad and keep t a straight line. But really, I hadn’t a clue where I was r even which side f the rad I was n. I
had t stp because I was afraid f driving int a farmer’s field, r wrse. I called 911, nly t be tld that nbdy was cming t get me until mrning
at the earliest.
Thse secnds after the call were the wrst f my life. Getting ut t walk in a whiteut and high winds when it was -10°C wasn’t an ptin. S I
texted my clleague whse laptp bag I had just returned. I jked abut my gd deed ending in disaster. But he had an idea. “Pin yur lcatin n
Ggle Maps and send it t me,” he said.
I did, and sn he texted me back a screensht f the satellite view f where I was. We figured ut that I was n a rad in between tw farms. I
psted this new infrmatin t my Facebk cmmunity grup, pleading (恳求) fr anyne wh knew smene living here t help me get rescued.
Sn enugh, peple started respnding n my pst. I gt a message frm smene wh was ging t put me in tuch with the family living there.
At 8 p. m., my mbile phne rang. It was the sn f the farmer wh wned the land beside the rad I was stranded (使滞留) n. He tld me that his dad
was cming t get me!
Then, abut 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure walking tward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight.
