Wild animals are equipped with a variety f techniques t avid becming lunch fr a bigger animal, als knwn as a predatr(捕食者)in nature. The mst well-knwn methds include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team f researchers wndered whether clseness t peple might impact thse survival strategies. “We ften see that animals are mre tlerant arund us in urbanareas, but we dn’t really knw why.”says evlutinary bilgist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear f us and that leads t tlerance?Or can there be an evlutinary factr invlved?”
T find ut, Blumstein and his clleagues cmbined infrmatin frm 173 studies f ver 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mllusks. It turns ut that regardless f evlutinary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way t life amng humans: they lse their anti-predatr characteristics. That pattern is especially prnunced fr plant-eating animals and fr scial species. This behaviral change isperhaps unsurprising when it’s intentinal, the result f dmesticatin r cntrlled breeding. But it turns ut that urbanizatin alne results in a similar change, thugh arund three times mre slwly.
The main pint is: we’re essentially dmesticating animals by urbanizatin. We’re selecting fr the same srts f characteristics that we wuld if we were actually trying t dmesticate them. If the urbanizatin prcess helps animals better c-exist with peple, it culd be t their benefit. But if it makes them mre defenseless t their nnhuman predatrs, it culd be a real prblem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enugh f an influence n wild animals that evlutinary prcesses kick in. Thse reductins in anti-predatr characteristics becme encded in their genes. We’re changing the ppulatin genetics ne way r anther.
What the researchers nw wnder is whether the mere presence f turists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If s, serius questinsexist fr the idea f ethical, welfare-riented ec-turism. If we wish t help animals keep their anti-predatr defenses, the researchers say, we might have t intentinallyexpse animals t predatrs. It’s just yet ne ther way that we’re changing the wrld arund us.
63. The research led by Blumstein is aimed at ______.
A. determining hw animals’ survival is impacted by individual plasticity
B. studying hw living amng humans affects animals’ survival strategies
C. cmparing the effectiveness f different survival techniques
D. finding ut which evlutinary factr impacts animals’ survival methds
64. Which f the fllwing practices may cntribute t animals lsing anti-predatr characteristics?
A. Cntrlled breeding f animals. B. Banning the peratin f ec-turism.
C. Planned selectin f favrable genes. D. Eliminating dmesticatin.
65. Which f the fllwing statements is Blumstein likely t agree with?
A. Urbanizatin has made wild animals mre alert
B. Urbanizatin has brught cncrete benefits t animals.
C. City living has led t animals’ genetic variatins.
D. City living has helped t preserve animal species.
66. The animal rescue center sptted an injured fx a year ag and has since nursed it back t health. Befre releasing it back t the wild, the center shuld prbably ______.
A. expse the fx t the urban envirnment repeatedly
B. train the fx t c-exist with the less aggressive predatrs

Flight Shaming: # staynthegrund
Fr the envirnmentally cnscius, barding a flight can be a surce f mild stress r guilt, cnsidering the large amunts f carbn ftprint that cmes with it. (67)____________
Flight shaming, r flygskam, is a mvement that riginated in Sweden in 2017. Back then, singer Staffan Lindberg declared his intentin t give up flying t and frm his cncerts in favr f travel by train, bus, car, r bat. (68)____________Befre lng, a substantial prtin f the general public had happily jumped n bard. The fllwing year, the hashtag # jagstannarpamarken —which translates as# staynthegrund started gaining ppularity n the Internet, and by 2019, annual air travel in Sweden had fallen by 5%.
Althugh “shame”has a relatively negative meaning assciated with it, the verall utcme f the flight shaming mvement has been undeniably psitive. N lnger restricted t Sweden alne, the trend has spread thrughut Eurpe. (69)____________Besides, the mvement is less abut shaming ther peple ut f flying than it is abut changing ne’s wn travel habits fr the benefits f the Earth.
An interesting side effect f the flight shaming mvement is that thse wh bserve it ften rediscver the nvelty f slw, purpseful travel. When traveling by land, ne can take in the variety f sights, sunds, and smells alng the way. (70)____________Withut dubt, travelers willing t take n the challenge f flygskam have the pprtunity t experience lcal culture in ways that passengers flying thusands f miles abve culd nly dream f.
III. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s)f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
A New Wave f Migratin
As the sea extends steadily inland in cuntries such as Bangladesh and as decreasing rains put already marginal farmland ut f play in Ethipia and ther places, a wave f migratin caused by the changing climate is taking shape n the hrizn.
But mst “climate migrants”will nt be heading abrad t start new lives; instead they will settle elsewhere in their hme cuntries. A reprt released this week declares that if nthing is dne t cntrl glbal warming and factr migratin int develpment planning, by mid-century this internal ppulatin shift culd invlve mre than 140millin peple in three regins examined: sub-Saharan Africa, suth Asia and Latin America. “Climate change is already a driver f internal migratin, and it will becme mre s in the future,”says Jhn Rme, senir directr f Climate change at The Wrld Bank Grup.
The ptential fr such an increase in area cnsisting f 55 percent f the develping wrld’s ppulatin raises questins f envirnmental justice because thse wh have cntributed the least t glbal warming are frced t shulder mre f the burden. It is necessary fr develped cuntries like the U.S. t step up, says Maria Cristina Garcia,a prfessr f American Studies at Crnell University. Develped cuntries can help by bth wrking t limit greenhuse gas emissins and funding effrts t help develping natins plan fr climate migratin challenges.
The study f climate migratin is still relatively new, and prjectins f just hw many peple might be driven frm their hmes as the wrld warms are hard t pin dwn. Sme peple will need t migrate despite any measures that might be taken —but “this desn’t have t be a crisis”Rme says. Prperly managed migratin culd even bring mre ecnmic pprtunities t sme pr cmmunities. But planning needs t start nw.
