Gardiner’s ecnmy, which heavily depends n the almst three-quarters f a millin visitrs wh pass thrugh the park’s nrth gate annually, is likely t take a hit.

Yellwstne’s nrth gate is clsed indefinitely (无限期地). But the park’s suth gate pened t visitrs n June 22, 2022. Park fficials have started a new entry system t prevent vercrwding. It is based n the last number f the visitr’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date f the mnth. Cars with dd numbers can visit the park n dd days f the mnth, while thse with even numbers can g n even days.
Established in 1872, Yellwstne is America’s ldest natinal park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is hme t a lt f unique wildlife. It is knwn fr its natural beauty that includes muntains, rivers and lakes. The frces f fire and ice shaped the park ver thusands f years.

Despite the fact that parrts are well knwn fr their lng lives and cmplex cgnitin (认知), it remains unknwn whether the tw traits (特征) have influenced each ther.
“The prblem has been surcing gd quality data,” said Simen Smeele, a dctral student at the Max Planck Institute f Animal Behavir (MPI-AB) and lead authr f a study published in Prceedings f the Ryal Sciety B that tried t slve this questin.
Scientists frm the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute fr Evlutinary Anthrplgy (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 t cmpile data frm ver 130,000 individual parrts surced frm ver 1,000 zs t find the average life span f 217 parrt species.
The analysis revealed an astnishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging frm an average f tw years fr the fig parrt up t an average f 30 years fr the scarlet macaw.
Next, the team tried t determine whether r nt parrts’ renwned cgnitive abilities had any influence n their lngevity. Their results supprt the thery that increased brain size has enabled lnger lifespans. Because brain size relative t bdy size can be an indicatr f intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrts with larger brains were able t survive fr lnger in the wild.
The scientists were surprised that factrs such as diet, r the greater develpmental time required t develp larger brains, did nt lead t lnger average lifespans. “We wuld have expected the develpmental path t play a mre imprtant rle because in primates it is this develpmental cst that explains the link between brain size and lngevity,” said Smeele.
In the future, the team plan t explre if sciality and cultural learning in parrts might have als cntributed t lng lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend mre time scially learning fraging (觅食) techniques that have been arund fr multiple generatins. This increased learning perid culd ptentially als explain the lnger life spans, as it takes mre time but als makes the fraging repertire (全部技能) mre adaptive.”
12. What did the study aim t find ut abut parrts?
A. The diversity in their life expectancies.
B. The factrs that influence their intelligence.
C. The traits that help them survive in the wild.
D. The link between their cgnitin and life spans.
13. Hw did the researchers carry ut their study?
A. By surveying ver 1,000 zs.B. By examining parrts’ brains.
C. By analyzing the cllected data.D. By bserving parrts’ behavir.
14. Which is a pssible cause f parrts’ lngevity?
A. Their diet.B. Their bdy size.
C. Their larger brains.D. Their brains develpment time.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Supprting evidence fr the research results.
B. Ptential applicatins f the research findings.
C. A further explanatin f the research methds.
D. Further research based n current findings.
